Merry Christmas IDO!

P.S. I looked under the tree, no new Skeeter

---

Maybe your tree is not tall enough to fit a Skeeter under it.

Merry Christmas everyone from SW WI. Be safe in your travels weather they be on ice or highways.

Merry Christmas to everyone in the IDO family.

Hope the State Revenue Division doesn’t read this. They get kind of grumpy when they lose their tax money.

Nice work on finding fish. Glad you are alright. I always use the buddy heater and it has always shut down when short of oxygen. Be safe.

That is so cool. Boy that brings a tear to the old eyes.

Dave you should have taken care of yourself when you were younger. I geuss that would have eliminated some of your Fun.

I would say that is a before pic. An after pic would be an empty plate.
Looks like some good eats.

I recently discovered that my tournament partner made some big improvements to his wheeler during the off season. I think this could really help cut down on search time on the ice.

That looks like it would really work sweet on finding crappie schools an d structures.
Is that ATV in the SBC boat shop?

Have any of you put any larger mud flaps or bow bra on to protect the hull and if so what type did you use and have you been happy with your choice?

I have been using a Towtector Rock Gaurd for 10 years. It does a good job.

How do you like your rig and what is your top end speed with the 150? Have you been to Canada with your boat? This will be my first glass boat after 30 years of aluminum boats and can not wait to finally have a rig that is set up for fishing instead of cruising.

---

Haven’t been to Canada but been to Rainy on the MN side. I had aluminum boats for 35 years. Last one was a ProV 1800. The ride is fantastic in glass. Could not beleive the differance. Stock prop,2 guys,full gear, full fuel, rear livewell full, perfect water tops out between 47 & 48 mph on GPS.

The parents have a 3 year old daughter at home and wanted one more so she would not be an only child. Well jumped right past that 2 number and now they have 3. Grandma is on cloud 9. She figures with 3 around they will want to leave one with us that much more often.

You want something REAL exotic,google”civet coffee”.

My dog isn’t a coffee drinker, but I bet that would change if I offered him that, if you know what I mean.

This is one of those products where you wonder, who the &$^* was the first to try it!

---

Would your dog drink it or roll in it?

This the boat I am purchasing.

That boat is real close to matching mine. Stripe colors are just reversed.
I have the F150 with 9.9 tiller kicker and tie bar.

Welcome to IDO.

Nice fish. Good info also. Thanks

Way to snag a job. Congrats.

I hope everything turns out OK but really what are people thinking? Not thinking I guess.

Good things are worth waiting for.

Thanks guys. This was the first time in 8 years we’ve missed a week like this. The issue was something as simple as in import deck that wouldn’t accept a firmware update allowing the deck to communicate with our newfangled digital method for delivering the episode. The devil is in the details, as they say.

---

Sounds like jibberish to me. All we need to know is that it WILL be on this week. If not someone might have to be hung out to dry.

First I’m glad your Daughter is ok for the most part. Second if you have the name of that trucking company, and wanted to do something about the drive. I’d give them a call about that driver. I’ve been in that industry a long time now. I also was a police officer before that, And drove for 5 years. A I know certain companys, and most reputable bigger trucking companies frown greatly on their drivers for not checking on vehical occupants after an accident like that because there are normally injuries from car truck accidents. I know they generally get reprimended if not let go over things like that. Especially if he’s at fault.

---

X2 I have called trucking companies before about poor/inconsierate drivers. The dispatcher will want truck/trailer number to verify driver.

I Was fishing up by dam in redwing last night and snagged a st Croix rod and reel. Doesn’t look like it was in the water to long. If someone can tell me the kind of reel / rod I’ll be happy to return it.

---

Saw the headline and was hoping it was on Petenwell Flowage. Lost a Croix with a Cabelas real this summer. Wasn’t one of my better days.

I see it as a 2.5 week paid vacation that cost all of us dearly. We (the voters) need to send these jackwads aka incumbents a BIG message by not voting a single ONE in the upcoming election. I know I won’t be.

My thoughts exactly. I don’t care who is running against an incumbent THEY will get my vote.

As far as I know there is no sidewall repair that is considered a legal repair. If you look Rubber Manufacturers [censored]. they tell how to repair a tire. GY, Mich.,BFG, you name the tire company, all say not to repair a tire in the shoulder area or sidewall. A plug alone is not even considered a legal repair in the face of the tire. Legally you have to dismount the tire to check inside for any damage. It is all about liability. Too many lawyers looking for work.

Wecome to IDO. What kind of fishing do you do?

I am very leary when it comes to USPS. Ordered some small auto parts from ebay. Tracking showed delivered to local pot office who in turn said they delivered to me on a Sat. They could not deliver on Sat. as we are closed. Then they changed their tune and said we delivered on Mon. We didn’t get the package and after several phone calls to the customer service found out no reimbursement unless insured. Shipper did not insure so I was SOL from them. Paypal credited me back on my credit card. USPS has POOR customer service if ou have a problem. Just sayin.

Just ordered the hoodie yesterday.Should have ordered the hat also. Would of been first on the list.

Nice fish and pics. Gotta love night trolling when things go right.

Great pic and you have a good start on a fishing partner for life.
