Thanks for the reply. If we do get fishing it would have to be a easy presentation for the kids. Any info would help. Thanks

thanks for the reply putting in at blackhawk park!!

Sorry to hear about your back problems, I also at age 28 had 3 herniated disc. I had the injections, For me a they were a temp. fix, I beleive i had 4 different shots and it would feel better for a week or 2 or month , but it would always come back. After a while i got tried of the pain and the missing work for weeks at a time. I thought that i was not gonna be able to do the things i loved, ever again. I thought i wasnt gonna be able to work. So I told my doctor that he had to do something, so i had surgery, and I felt better right away.
10 yrs have gone by, and i have missed a few days of work since, If i realy over do it, or if i lay around a whole day it will get sore, but a few ibuprofen and get moving again and I feel fine. I not telling you to just go get surgery done!! Thats how it worked for me. The shots just never did much,
I hope you feel better. I know how u feel.

did any one figure anything out on this? my 07 does the same thing, thought it was the way it was to be!!

I’m heading out on April 21 to the 30th cant wait! got rookies with me this yr. gonna be awesome. when you heading out?

OH YA! AWESOME!

Des Moines river I beleive!!! 14lbs 9 ozs. Rathbun will beat that record in the next few yrs though. “remember I said so!”

Well guys I’m back from a weekend at Rathbun. I thank you all for the info. here is how the trip went. 1 1/2 days fishing 3 walleyes 18 to 20 inchers. The walleye we caught were shallow 4 feet deep. Would of done better on the eyes but we did get shallow till this morning. We also caught apox.50 crappies trolling 25 of them keepers.and about 15 strippers. The crappie I cleaned had not spawned yet. and they were not full of eggs. I would say about half full.
I don’t know if the colder wheather before had them late then the water dropping still held them up? I heard a few weeks ago they were shallow. Best color when the sun was out was glory green 1/4 walleye driver and the clouds showed up #5 red jointed shad rap. Well thanks again for the info

Thanks Dan
