    The members will have plenty of suggestions for you. I have been very happy with Pickerel Arm Camp. Lee and his family have several outposts and are great to work with. Google them and see what you think. Good luck wherever you go

    I love my 8’3 also for casting cranks, and the 6’6 mf for Dubuque rigging. Limit Creeks are a very good value IMO

    been on Clear Lake a few times, and X2 on the local bait shops being very helpful…

    if you look at a map, the large lake to the west is generally shallower and seems to be a trollers paradise…although there are a few reefs that draw attention too…

    The smaller piece on the east is the area that was dredged and has much more variation in depth and bottom contour…good luck and enjoy

    hey I live about 30 min away and fish there in the summer some…smaller, west side of the lake is the dredged part…that should be a ticket for some action, particularly yellow bass…good luck

    Some previous advice to avoid storm chasers is spot on. Many are fly by night and from out of the area and if they do a poor job you wil be unable to contact them after the fact to get possibly poor quality repairs done as they will now be in OK or Texas, etc.

    We have been contacted by a number of salepeople and roofing crews from Texas and Oklahoma already today who want to work this storm under our name which we always decline but it shows how many out of staers will be flooding into the area within the next day or 2. If the comapny is not truly local do not use them and if the saleman has a funny accent but says he is local ask to see what state his DL is from.

    If you have dents in your vehicle your roof is most likely damaged to the point that your insurance will pay for a new one.

    Find a good reputable local general contractor who will look out for your interests

    Make sure your contractor has lots of good reviews on Angies, home advisor, google reviews, yelp etc. before you sign with them. If they do not give you a 3 day right to cancel form with the contract they are in violation of MN statutes and the contract is not valid

    I am a field supervisor for a highly reputable local general contractor and we do not storm chase. about a week after the hail our phone will start ringing when people become fed up with the storm chasers bugging them to death.

    It looks like we will be doing storm restoration for the rest of this year and a bunch next year from this one storm

    If you need any more info or just want to make sure that your ins company is treating you fairly feel free to shoot me a PM.

    If you get tired of storm chasers ringing your bell and bothering you let me know and I will come by and drop a sign in your yard and they will avoid you like the plague.

    The above is very, very sound advice…I would also add that a homeowner make sure to get an updated insurance certificate from any and all contractors working on their property…A workplace injury could fall back on the homeowner potentially if using an uninsured fly by night…

    Hey Chris, we were in cabin 3, and for all of us rednecks, it might have well been the Ritz Carlton…great setup…Your whole baitshop team was very helpful and accommodating too…

    I’ve always appreciated the honesty of the IDO show with a few times being, “hey, fishing was really slow today”…I have a teenager and it’s good for him to see that even the best pros can have slow days occasionally on the water or ice…

    Disclosure…I am a lifelong Vikings fan, but Aaron Rodgers scares the bleep out of me, just like Favre before him…any athlete has peaks and valleys and, no doubt, Rodgers is in a slump right now…I am not willing to bet against him playing at an elite level again….that being said, SKOL Vikes!

    Grandpa would take my brother and I (about age 7 and 9 at the time) out fishing early in the morning…we would be dressed in snowmobile suits, hats, gloves, and still shivering…Grandpa would be in the back of the boat, wearing only a thin flannel over his t-shirt going wide open down the river…From then on, we swore he was the toughest man in the world…

    awesome ideas, and also love the IDO show…sorry if this was mentioned but what about a “how many species in a day” episode? Probably a river show, but would work well with one boat or as a contest format…also would help us hacks (like me) with ideas what works on other fish if the walleyes aren’t biting that day for instance…thanks for opening this up for discussion!

    Great ideas and suggestions….I will add the old “strip and go naked”…Vodka mixed in frozen lemonade and then mixed with beer…Great in pitchers on ice, but can sneak up on a person so beware..
