Re: Lake of the week

Around here they like to put out fish cribs. They consist of wood pallets bound together with concrete bricks. They are breaks at best, usually not even on good structure. People snag on them and anchors get caught on them which eventually breaks them up. A royal pain in the backside. Some people th...

Re: well, looks like we win!

My 2 cents on this is after talking to my daughter who is a college student with two jobs is that the republicans have become to extreme and they are not connecting with them. If you lose the young people it don't bode well for the party.

Lake of the week

I thought we could use a lake of the week to get things going again. Here is a 465 acre natural lake. It is stocked nearly every year with Muskies. It also has a decent Bass population. It is fall. Unfortunately trolling is not allowed. Where and how are we going to target these fish to make a catch.

This weeks lake is a 6000 acre reservoir. It has big Muskie,Walleye, Pike, and Catfish. Lets say it is summer and we want to catch big Muskies. The lake has pretty good water color. Lets figure out where to get these toothy critters.
