suuuuueeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats an f in pig shaley! congrats

nice catch guys headed up weds and thurs and bringin wifey. Any update on the drive out possibilities on west and spirit, wife has asthma bad and life is alot easier when thats possible. shaley this is john from carroll btw

yeah, i treid that, but i can see that the problem is actually that the rubber bumpers that it sits against for storage mode are just too damn thick and it makes it bind up. I hate to hack up a trolling motor by shaving off some of the rubber, but i just dont see any other adjustment to it.

Havent fished the dallas county area yet, but can assure you even with high water levels they have the feed bag on in carroll county on the middle coon. pm me if ya want and ill gladly give the details. All 16-18 inchers so far but needed a fish fry so…..a few now and let the big girls in 2 weeks go. John

Shaley….comin up for xmas, anything fishable on west?, bays or canals?

Certainly wish the ice queen and i could make it but will be in tucson that week. Ryan, we’re hoping to be up that way new years weekend and with a few fishin friends if ice permits, if ya get a chance drop me a pm with availability and pricing for them? Am hoping to wear out our welcome at your resort in late jan early feb. christy is chompin at the bit to go watch the tip up flags fly again. Hope you and the family are well and wish ya a merry xmas my friend. Take care, John

psssst, btw, saw a local dumping some brush this late nov in a spot you and i have bumped into each other at near canal entrance, and i mean ALOT of brush, didnt know the guy but he was about 600 yrs old and told me to urine off when i told him legalities…lol, will pinpoint at later date..lol

Ryan and I are nearly the same age and Im sure he can attest as I will that the Roof Garden was alive and well even in the early 80’s, and for some of us a great place to get that first…well you guys get the jist …lol. I gotta be honest with ya…memorial day to labor day i just keep headin north to spirit unless i have my headlights on, too bad too, i really love west.

Man that is TOO cool! , and awesome to see a gal who is as avid about this sport as my wife…any idea on pricing Pete?

My dad, who is 70 now still ahs one in his shack to this day and swears by em. I can assure you they kept my big butt nice and toasty for 25 yrs of fishin with him…LOL
Im a hvac guy by trade, and id say as long as your ventilating the area well enough it should pose no big safety threat as long as it is not completely discinigrated, there really is very little to wear out on them.

Well, its been a pretty fair year so far, seemed forever before we got safe ice, but no complainin now. Wifey is now oficially as hooked on hard water as open water fishin. New shack, new auger, started the season off nicely. We,ve been fairly consistently finding nice big bull gills on okoboji to look at if not catch. Been averaging 20 or so per trip we’ve caught. Not one northern yet this year, although we have seen some pigs. Sunday plannin on headin up again if weather calms down. Be safe everyone! John and Christy
