Lure Lipstick carries a variety of 1 oz jigs. long shank sickle hooks that work well with plastics on DBQs

brad, try the mrs. wages seasoning mix. we use them for pickles and salsa and i have seen packages for dilly green beans

nwt posted a good recap of day 2

link didnt work but story is on NWT site

saw an interview with the winner, JJ DeBernardi, a local, and he said he caught an 8 pound walleye on his first cast wednesday hitting a nearby known spot while waiting to lock through at starved rock.
was a good article on day 1 on the nwt site but havent seen anything about day 2

we use big minnows or chubs sometimes in fall/winter
had a lot of skinned/chomped baits and mis hits until i tied up some 4-5 inch long stingers with no. 6 or 4 trebles
we put the chub on the jig then the slipknot stinger so it runs kamikaze style along the top of the bigger bait. made a big difference in hookups

great thread
still have the 2010 alumacraft and no complaints on anything
only time floor is slick is when an uninvited flying carp lands in the boat

this is from thursdays iowa dnr fishing report …

Mississippi River Pool 18
Tailwater stage is 10.40 feet at Lock and Dam 17 at New Boston and has started to fall. The gates were still out of the water at the lock and dam. The main channel has opened up, but the Toolsboro ramp is inaccessible due to a ridge of ice at the bottom of the ramp that extends out 20 feet. We have not received any ice fishing reports with the recent unsafe ice conditions.

great job, guys
sounds like an awesome trip

congrats, guys
like those snow pix

big congrats, guys
great picture of a great bird

i went with wasp hammers when i started shooting an xbow 3 years ago
have shot 2 nice bucks that went about 75 yards each
the hammers shoot dead-on after sighting in w/field points and are only about 30 bucks for 3 w/xtra blades
wasp came out with a drone this year that i am wanting to try. an impressive review video on them from antler geeks

@dogs …. looks like you can order the heartaways off the link randy provided

i have been checking them out a little. like the horizontal display as opposed to the vertical look of the 500/600/700 series and tempting to get an SI/DI unit for $500
but now that the boat will be parked for a while, my focus has shifted to upgrading my ice flasher

saw this review on sonar wars, which gave the helix a 9.0 rating out of 10…
Pros >> Bright, high resolution display. Side/Down Imaging capabilities at attractive prices.
Cons >> Non-networkable. Compact SI transducer vs HD SI transducer (although it may be eligible for the transducer trade-in program).
Bottom Line >> Based on the prices, and initial information about the high resolution display, the Helix 5 has the potential to be a very popular series. Keep an eye out here for more information as the entire series rolls out.

was hoping to see a reply, wahly, since we were thinking about heading up that way next week, too
i read the ramp at genoa was still open the 4th but couldnt find anything about lynxville
might have to call falling rock or capt. hooks

nice game cart
nice lookin buck, too

nice deer. congrats

ha. bk still on the cutting edge of stink
read some rave reviews on leakin livers bait awhile back; in fact, was going to order some of the leakin livers liver flavor and bold and bloody dip from their web site but saw it supposedly is in stock at gander
so … road trip! needed line and circle hooks anyway
have been having good luck drift fishing for cats and thought the livers would be a good backup for days we run out of cut bait or have trouble finding shad to net

great fish, guys!
awesome pix, too, when you click on them to see full frame
(many thumbs-up smileys)

i was stuck in the mud for a few days trying to browse with opera
tried firefox this morning and it made a huge difference
site looks great. i am sure the guys will have things up to speed soon

click the link in the ‘dean marshall’ thread
looks like dean and steve finished 8th
i tried to find a story on the tourney but no luck

congrats
thats a trophy tom

not an accountant either, but last year i retired early and rolled my 401k into an IRA with no fees or taxes
however, if you take any of that money for personal use before age 59.5 you are subject to a 20% penalty and 10% tax for uncle sam
once you are past 59.5, you can withdraw from an IRA with no penalty but you still have to pay the tax at withdrawal or at tax time

In most cases it’s the opposite; the withholding tax is 20% and the pre-59.5 penalty is the 10% amount.

As far as the original question, it’s a heck of a lot easier to do a direct rollover. Taking direction possession is asking for a headache.

difference in state regs?
anyway, i withdrew a modest amount after i had passed 59.5 and the tax was 10%, plus you have to count it as income
and no way was i foolish enough to withdraw funds early and get hit with the 30% although i know some who have

great job, guys, congrats

and a to sam on his first tom
