    Went out solo this afternoon scouting and aqua viewing some areas for tomorrows trip and found some interesting areas and also ruled out other areas, thought I’d pulled some three ways and didn’t turn up much switched over to plastics and game on, lost a couple good ones hoisting them in the boat, one of which was way to big to lift in but tried, hardly ever use a net draws to much attention. picked up some decent ones again tonight!

    I’m not sure it’s the net that draws the attention RD.

    Nice catch. I’d be growing a doral fin if I ate that much fish.

    If I remember correctly Dan often feeds the members of his house church. I’m sure they appreciate the generosity.

    I do not have an agenda or a horse in this race…but reading posts about limit after limit and pictures of 18 walleyes for 3 guys day after day seem a bit over the top. You said you got raided by the DNR…with posts like these, you may want to evaluate what and how you post. You are becoming a lightning rod for over-harvest and will probably continue to be targeted. (Not just RD, but anyone taking part in the Spring walleye run.) I too was a guide on the Sippi for a long while, and while guiding I would only take limits for my customers, clean the fish and send them on their way. I don’t hold myself up as any agent of virtue or anything, but I never had any issues with the DNR. I was once told I destroyed a spot on the Sippi due to my pictures of catch and release fish (Right BK?) but that aside…This weekend I counted 57 boats dragging where I would usually see less than 10. I am no one to tell anybody what to do, but I think a little sensitivity to this issue would go a long way with patrons of IDO. If you are doing this to promote your guide business, I suggest starting your own website and advertising on IDO. I have not chimed in on any of these post as I believe everyone here has the same rights as the next guy and the same opportunity to catch fish. But I have been hearing from a number of people that they are being rubbed the wrong way by posts that seem to reflect over harvesting. Not calling out RD personally, but I think we should all be sensitive to this perception.
    That’s all I am saying. Not looking for this to turn this into a fight. It is my personal opinion, and I know everyone has one.

    Keep up the good work Dan and keep the reports coming I’m sure your not so fan club members won’t read them or use them.
