Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate the input. I now have some idea what I will offer, probably somewhere in the $3,000 range. The motor is low hours, but the boat, I believe has been sitting outside, so the carpet and floor are not mint. Once again, thanks for the input.
We have found them over the weeds in 12-16 fow using a 16 oz. jig and tube bodies. We slow troll jigs until we get a hit and then sit/drift and cast.
Thanks everybody 
We only had 3 inches on the lake I live near here in the Aitkin area. It is currently raining, now turning to slush/snow. Not going to help the lake at all. Just read the Red Door post. That one sounds what more likely will happen. I like that one.
Didn’t want to take the chance, so back they went!!!

IF I could actually make that happen, I think I could get elected (or anyone else.) What people won’t say to get elected.
With out a plan made public, this totally discredits the person making these claims.
That was Michelle Bachman.
He will be added to my list. We mourn your loss.
Did NOT see that coming.

That sounds about right for Aitken Minnesota
Are you talking about Aitken or Aitkin????

Twin Pines would be a good choice. The Enos try to do the best they can for anyone. We have had groups go there and they have made extra efforts to do well by us. You may be able to deal with them for a group. Good luck. I don’t think you will regret it.
Mark—Never did hear where you will be teaching next year.
Where will you be teaching???? I know we have a few openings in Aitkin. Congratulations!!!!!!!! 
Good luck. I would be interested in knowing how you do up there. I was up there in the mid 70’s and haven’t had a chance to go back since (
). Loved it!!!
I don’t care who you are, that’s a cute pic. What a beautiful pair.
My thermometer says -30.5 seven miles north of Mille Lacs. 
His lawyer has already started the insanity defense what with that booking photo.
Be careful what you wish for.
If you don’t want the exhaust in the house each time you fish, use an electric auger.
I didn’t get one of those!! 
Feb 1-28, ice free Gulf of Mexico, Port Aransas, Texas. Until then I will take advantage of the good ice. 
Don’t emember if this is on I35 or even near there but there used to be a McDonald’s restaurant (is that the right word?) that spanned the highway on the way to Tulsa OK. Kinda cool for the kids.
Two years ago my two sons took time out of their careers to come home and fish with dad. We went to Mille Lacs one evening in June and proceeded to catch and release 90, count ’em 90, smallmouth. That was the best time the three of us have had fishing. Very memorable for dad, just me and my boys. 
If you really want to see how they are reacting and what to do to get them to bite, get yourself a camera. I bought one this fall (Marcum VS 380) and have really been having an experience watching what they do and what they can be coaxed into doing. What a learning experience. 
That’s a great site.
Webb isn’t looking any better.
