    I must be getting old because after reading this my immediate thoughts were, “Where does the time go?”. BK, if this how it feels?

    Not being a hunter I would prefer fishing shows 52 weeks a year.

    no worries … heck “the new website is flop” just happens to be the IN VOGUE thing this yr


    I think I’ll buck that trend.

    It will be hard to get the new website wrong given how overdue we are for an upgrade. The plan is to keep a similar look to the forum where most everyone spends most of their time so we don’t throw too many people off their game.

    The major changes will come outside of the forums where we’ll be adding many new areas with a new look and lay-out.

    If people are afraid of major change they can just continue to hang out in the forums and keep their head in the sand regarding all the new stuff.

    My head in the sand is a far better look for me.

    Please send a blank check my way and I’ll make that a reality.

    I’m thinking IDO will likely expand to 52 weeks of broadcast at some point but we WON’T be adding additional weeks of fishing. I watch viewership patterns and Nielsen ratings like a hawk and people just don’t watch fishing shows in the summer… they go fishing.

    So I guess what I can offer you is that we’ll always have at least 26 weeks of fishing. No more… but definitely no less.

    Maybe you could trade them in for some; “Green Bay Packers Stock” an equal value trade if there ever was one.


    cripe; if we could do that, BK (as the new majority owner in the League) would have to change his tune and start pushing for a new stadium

    Sounds interesting…maybe the new version won’t be blocked at work. It sucks not being able to get in while at work. Funny thing though….I can get in to the hunting side where we talk about guns and killing stuff but not the fishing side….go figure.

    Do we get to keep our ID names?? Mine’s been here since fishtheriver!!

    Looking forward to the new version!!

    Hey James, Any chance we could get a short betting thing going where we can spend our fishbucks, like betting on how many cans of spam does it take to fill a 55 gallon barrel or how many jelly beans does it take to fill a gallon jar, or how many clams does it take to fill a gunny sack, no joke now Im serious. You can enter only once and you have to spend them all to bet. First place gets a hoodie, second a pack of jigs, etc. Atleast we could spend them and have fun doing it here on the site. Tell Brian to get the betting going, everything done in the next week and a half, just an idea and it would be fun.

    I think I’ll donate mine to Pugs, so he can change his name to seattleslugs, and targaman can change his to rebeldude, and BK can change his to B.S.

    I got plenty.

    I sure hope we get something under our avatar as a contributed status. I was late to the game, but I am top ten in posts.

    For that I sincerely apologize.

    Pug, I just “gifted” you $1069.42 in Fish Bucks.

    I didn’t want to be caught with that taxable income at the end of the year.

    Throw in a 7 month old daughter and everything has been a blur of late. I will be back in fishing mode full-time as soon as I can walk on water. Bring on the ice


    Congrats to you and IDOs’ 1st Lady

    Son of a…It’s over $600 now and I have to report it! And I no longer will be eligible for subsidies for my Affordable Healthcare Act plan.

    Yes. That is the plan. Of course you know what they say about “the best laid plans…”

    If you have some golden irreplaceable tidbit of info stored in a PM… I’d treat it as such and back it up somewhere.

    Can I auction off my fishbucks?

    Bidding starts at 1 bottle of whiskey or one secret fishing hotspot. Any takers?

    Ok, I’ll throw out the first bid.

    Give me your fishbucks and I’ll give you the gps coordinates of the metro area honey hole where I scored multiple double-figure fish as fast as I could reel them in.

    The fact that they were carp should not factor in to your decision in any way.
