I hope to be out on opener. Wish it was next weekend instead of May 4th. I need to follow the WI rules.

Just went to a bar called Junkyard Bar this past weekend. It is between Siren and Spooner WI. Very cool place. Can’t wait to go back this summer and check out a band there. You could spend an entire day checking out all the old vintage stuff inside and outside of the bar.

Sorry, not a legal expert like many others on the site. Can the judge or jury come back and convict of a lesser charge even though they are prosecuting the lesser charge? I agree first degree is a stretch.

Aren’t you also protecting the assets in the event that someone enters the nursing home? They can seize assets to pay for care, which can be really spendy.

I don’t think it protects the assets if it is a living trust.

If you wanted mapping on both units then no the dealer didn’t take you. Helix units don’t share mapping. If you want mapping on each unit they each need their own chip.

This is correct. You can use the same chip on other units but the physical chip needs to be in the unit while you are using it.

I don’t see myself spending 200 bucks for a lure. I bought my first 2 Matlocks this past summer at a garage sale for 45 each. Not sure I have an appetite for too many baits over 50 bucks. I’ve lost a few big rubber bait fishing vermilion in the fall. Talk about going from a hero (when the rock hits) to a zero (after a losing a 5 minute tug of war). I also troll a fair amount and have had more than one snag eat my lure.

Congrats Bearcat. She is beautiful. Cheers to you and your family.

Sorry for the loss of your buddy. May he RIP.

I will second Xplorers recommendation for Big Makena beach south of Waleia/Makena. It was my favorite beach. We named my youngest daughter after this beach. Nice sand and snorkeling was decent on south end. Saw lots of turtles. Body surfing there was also good at times. The trip to Little Makena beach is not worth the effort (trust me). Unless your in to wrinkled up things you wish you didn’t see. You can drive south of Big Makena. There are some secluded beaches just to the south you will see people parked in the lava fields. You can hike back to the ocean and it is secluded and awesome snorkeling too. Momma’s fish house is awesome and worth the visit for a great meal and dinner experience. They have some cool surfing up in front of that place too. Gazebo restaurant up in Kapalua for breakfast is very good and popular place. Whale watching boat rides or a trip to Lanai is a great time too. These can be fairly reasonable (less than 100.00 per person). I’ve fished on 2 of our trips and that was awesome too. Expensive but awesome.

Just saw an update on Yahoo about the killer.

The man who fatally shot two Burnsville police officers and a firefighter was a 38-year-old who pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon from a 2007 case. He petitioned the court in 2020 to have his gun rights restored, which a judge denied.

Shannon Cortez Gooden was found dead in the home, where he was a renter, according to law enforcement sources and other records.

Any restrictions for the new boat based on what you have for a tow vehicle? I have a 2015 Trophy 175 with a 115 Suzuki. I was fortunate to buy it just before COVID caused prices of used boats to go through the roof. I paid 25K 3 or 4 years ago. A year after I bought it you would have been lucky to find one for under 30K. Mine had 2 graphs, Terova TM, down riggers and other accessories included. The 115 won’t win any races but gets me where I want to go. I have a Honda Pilot that I pull it with and it does fine. It would probably pull the 185 ok too. But I wouldn’t want to go any bigger than that without going with a bigger tow vehicle. Have fun shopping.

Took a couple pictures of the new dock they’ve added at Hudson Lakefront Park. Very surprised they were ablet to get so much completed during the winter. Figured this would have stretched through until next fall.

Not sure where you guys are suggesting they put docks on the Hudson Bay (North) side of the dike. There isn’t much of a wall on that side. I like that Hudson Bay isn’t no wake. You can get back up to top of channel a lot faster by going back up through the bay. But later in summer (especially last year) it was really shallow and a weed infested seas pool.

Icenutz, Thanks alot for setting up my buddy Sam with 6 tip downs. He put a beat down on the crappies Monday and Tuesday this week.

I’ve had my Drotto for 2 years now. I have a Alumacraft Trophy. The first year I sucked at loading boat with it. I quit using it after the first month and water warmed up. I had a hard time getting it to latch when loading. I finally got the hang of it last year and love it. I wouldn’t own a roller trailer without it.

I’ve had rods repaired at Blue Ribbon Bait. They send them out and the guy that did mine turned it around both times within a couple days. That would be closer than Thorne Bros.

Hope you just have to replace the carpet. Replacing the deck boards kind of sucks. Getting the stainless screws out sucks. 8 of 10 screws will strip trying to back them out. Once old floor is out, new floor went in pretty easy.

They can ship that punk Alexander’s ass out of town with Joe Barry after this year. Highest paid corner back in football this year. I think I read he has 4 pass breakups this year. That’s over 5 million per breakup.

I’m with Mark Benson, I think of early ice as anytime up to New Years. I always have success in front of the cabin on tipups up until New Years. Rest of year I could leave my tipups out from Friday until Sunday and can’t buy a flag.

I just checked again and the St Croix and Mississippi are listed as border water exceptions and they close on Nov 30th. Guess I won’t be doing that again this year.

Doesn’t that season close end of November?? I don’t give 2 sh!ts just trying to help you not get a ticket

No worries. I thought it did too but checked before I went down there.

The open season for muskellunge begins the Saturday nearest to Memorial Day in the “Northern Zone” and the First Saturday in May in the “Southern Zone.” The season ends in both the Northern and Southern zones on December 31st (on open water only).

Was able to get out on the ice in front of cabin up by Cumberland WI this past weekend. We had 4 – 5 inches. But much of the lake was still open water. Also went to the St Croix and casted for muskies last night. There were guys ice fishing out past the open water a few days ago. Its looking like it could be a bad season for ice. Just hope we don’t get a big snow before it gets real cold for a good week first.

That is really cool.

Congrats on an awesome fish.

Woodlands/Devils Lake X 5. 4 lines per guy. Pike/Walleye/Perch. Not much further than driving to LOW.

Interesting article on Yahoo today related to cats and what they eat. I thought some of the previous info provided above was BS but this confirmed some of the same stats. Killing 2 billion birds a year was 1 of them. We have 2 house cats (declawed) that enjoy going in our fenced in back yard. I’ve never been a big cat fan but have changed a bit since my daughters insisted on getting cats. I would probably have a tough time pulling the trigger on a ferel cat.

Saw on FB that someone hit the cougar in Golden Valley this morning. Not sure how the link will work but assume you need access to FB to view this.

My thoughts exactly Jon. They are marketing to the Skinny Jean crowd. Sorry Suzuki.

So what do people like at Duluth TC? 40% is good.

Their Buck Naked Underwear are top notch. Not sure I believe the no stink part of their advertising though. They do seem cooler than traditional cotton undies.

Their Ball room denim pants are also very comfortable and have lasted over twice as long as the Levi’s I used to buy.

Shoot. I lost an SD card I had pulled from a camera in Minong, WI this past Saturday. It had 393 pics that I never got a chance to look at. I think it is probably somewhere between Minong (Chittimo area) and Cumberland. I think I need a case like that so I don’t lose any more cards.
