Rather than breed of steer I would look to see how the farmer feeds his amimals. Grain or pasture/hay.

We get a beef from my dads farm in IL, mostly grain fed and very tasty.

I have had “grass fed green organic beef”. Save the money and shoot a deer.

It’s only a matter of time before this pile of money is in the general fund.

Tie 5 Rapala’s on that rig, then “snag” it…….

thanks for the chance

Picked up my daughter from her aunts house and pushed out 2 mini vans stuck at a four way stop on the way……. One mom was a looker so we got that going for us

Unless you have a 4 wheel drive stay home. the plows cannot keep up with the drifting in Woodbury…..Stopped at Top Ten to pick up the Gin and Tonic for the rest of the day………..Gotta love a good BLIZ!!!!!!!

Jeff,

You should look into the Carbondale area. Crab Orchard has a camp ground and a very good population of crappie and bass. I lived in Carbondale for 10 years and there are several lakes with in 30 minutes if you get tired of fishing Crab.

Lakes in the area are, Little Grassy, Devils Kitchen, Lake of Egypt, Kincaid, Cedar Lake, and Rend. Smithland Pool is a good spot to launch and fish the Ohio River.

Get to know Fred Washburn in Carterville. He is a local fishing expert who now owns Cottonmouth Lures and will sell you a few out of his garage in Carterville.

Easy……I fish for the thump

Time to fess up……That is me on the video. First I have to thank Tuck for posting that fine bit of cinematography second I have to thank Dean for selling blade baits with razor sharp hooks. Those Everts blades are dangerous for walleye and also the occasional fisherman.

Here is the story…..Four of us went to a Canadian outpost this summer for a week of walleye and small mouth fishing. This place was awesome……..We caught so many bass and eyes it was crazy.

My partner and I pulled up to a nice looking point and started casting. He was using a jig and tail and I decided to change it up and put on a blade bait. It was game ON Fish after fish was coming to the boat and then I caught a nice little eater walleye, about 16 inches long. As I took out the blade bait, with my bare hands, ” note to self, use pliers” the little guy shook…All of a sudden I have a fish on the front treble and my finger on a back. After messing around for a while my partner finally got the fish off but we still had a little problem…..I had a hook buried in my finger

We decided to head back to camp and try and figure this out.
Once back we used out walkie talkie to call the other boat. I knew what had to be done and was not looking forward to pushing that hook through the skin and clipping the barb. My partner was white as a ghost and did not want to be the one twisting the hook so I told him to start mixing some drinks and to keep them coming…..After about a 1/2 hour of soaking my finger in ice water and about a 1/4 bottle of Vodka it was time. Well I guess the rest of the story is on Utube for your viewing pleasure, but for the record it hurt like #$%@$@%$@

Thanks for the report. Nice looking fish you have there.

Grew up on a farm in Tiskliwa IL, then off to the U of I in Champaign Il, Jobs then took me to Carbondale Il and Tampa Fl where I meet a MN gal and ended up Woodbury in 1998… Love it up here in Minnesota

I remember that version like it was yesterday. Then the Bills cost me a “C” note. Freakin Norwood “Wide Right”.

Here is one of our walleye 26.5 inches

I forgot to add this she was 45.5 inches long

FishinBuddy,

Where and when are you going?

I have always done very well with a Johnson Silver Minnow with a grub tail attached and cannot wait until I go to Ganglers in early June. I have not seen those lures but Canadian fish usually hit just about anything they see. Good luck on your trip

Sandbar,

Nice to meet you the other night. I was in the 1850 Fishhawk. I have some work to do tomorrow but will be on the Croix Sunday am . Hopefully the weather will be a little better.

I do not mind Rain, Wind or Cold by themselves or amy combo of two, but when you get all three, that makes for a long day of fishing. Good luck to you Saturday and save a couple for us guys fishing Sunday.

318.7….cool game

My family and I will pray for you tonight. God Bless

Get her a DVD Rewinder

I doubt any big time coach would come here with Red trying to sell the team. Signing a coach to a 5 year 10 to 15 million dollar deal just adds 10 to 15 million dollars to the sale price. Plus the new owner would want to hire his people.

I do not see Tice going any where while Red has a “cheap” option on his contract. Red throws around nickels like they are manhole covers

Stats can be looked at in a number of ways. Just look at last weeks game. Green Bay got the ball on the Detroit 42 yard line and Green ran it 6 out of 9 plays to the Detroit 5 then kicked the winning FG…….The Vikings handed the ball to a RB 4 times the entire 2nd half. So who has the better running game? Me I would take my chances with Green and the Packers o line all day long.

As for the QB position, again, who would you rather have line up under center? Me I’ll take the first ballot hall of famer and 3 time MPV over Daunte

Tice isn’t this teams main problem. Injuries to key players have made them scramble most weeks this season. With todays limits of the salary cap your back up players are either going to be very young guy or old guys playing for the league minimum. If you lose a couple of guy’s such as a Birk, Moss, Bennett, Kleinsauser there is not much behind them.

Let’s be realistic on both sides though…….Neither team is going anywhere in the post season….On that note to the Christmas Eve Game.

I too live across the river in Woodbury. Have visited Hudson on a few Sunday afternoons, to pick up some adult beverage.

Brian,

I think you nailed it. I spoke to the dealer and he seemed to think your idea is right on. Anyway the boat is still under warranty so they can mess with it.

Thanks againg for your help…..I knew someone on IDA would have the answer.

mossydan,

Thanks for the reply . I will head to Home Depot and pick up a test light. At least I will have something to do on a nice afternoon.

G.W. Bush and John Kerry somehow end up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.

As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Kerry in his chair reached for the aftershave. Kerry was quick to stop him saying, ” No thanks, my wife Theresa will smell that and think I have been to a whorehouse”

The second barber turned to Bush and said, ” How about you?”

Bush replied, ” Go ahead my wife doesn’t know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.”

Fished south of the Kinni is 15 to 20 feet, trolled leadcore with #7 raps and grappler shad being the prefered bait. Caught quite a few sauger but no legal eyes. 4 of the sauger went between 17 and 19 inches.

The bite turned on for me from 8 to 10:30. Saw a couple of other boats drift fishing but did not get a chance to talk and see what they were using.

Kept two of the Sauger for dinner and one of them burped up a shad the same size as a #7 rap.
