Topwater,

I believe there will be. Anglers World was setting up tonight and they had quite a few Lucky Craft cranks on display. Didn't catch exact models but they had a pretty good selection from...

Just bumping this one to the top one last time as show starts tomorrow morning. Hope to see everyone there. Take a second to drop by our booth and introduce yourself.

If you're chasing shows...

Didn't say anything was wrong with those lakes, just that you'll have to be pretty decent on those lakes to compete on that circuit this year since 50% of the tourneys are held there plus the wild...

Indiana schedule is posted here. Hope you like Freeman/Shafer:

Don't know the exact status on the ramp situation. Last I heard (2 wks ago) it wasn't complete yet. It has always been a 2-lane ramp, I think they were just fixing the washout at the end of the...

It is now official. Crappie pro Charlie Hildreth from Gaston, IN will be at the show and speaking both days. Sounds like he'll be bringing along several of his sponsor products to demo and purchase...

Larry,

I'm guessing someone will have the sinkers. I have to drop by Westside B&T tomorrow and I'll tell him to bring all that he has (LOL). He has most every type sinker and hook imaginable, and...

Water at Geist was 46 about 4-5 days ago. I imagine it will still be within a degree or two of that, probably to the high side with this warm weather we're going to get the next few days. Thinking of...

Larry,

We are real close to working a deal to have Charlie Hildreth at the show for all the crappie guys. Charlie is from Gaston, IN. He is a member of the PolarKraft Boats Pro Staff, Drydock...

2nd ANNUAL ISC CONSERVATION FISHING EXPO!

Possibly the best darn fishing show you've attended in quite a long while. The way fishing shows were meant to be. We are now about 95% confirmed and...

I was fishing hard jerkbaits. Deep or shallow banks didn't seem to make a difference, but fish were definitely grouped toward the front half of the coves and pockets, especially around the points....

Not sure what you're fishing for, though I'll assume bass. I fished a similar lake yesterday just down the road from Flint and the water there was 52-54 degrees and the bass were hitting jerkbaits...

Joe,

Here is the scoop. Yes, there was a fish kill. The majority of the fish affected were bass. Best estimate I've heard was around 1,000 fish.

No, they did not treat the weeds. However,...

Here are approx. river miles:

Tanners - 494.9 (0.0 miles)
Bryants - 527.0 (32.1 miles)
Turtle - 528.9 (34.0 miles)
Craigs - 530.1 (35.2 miles)

Thanks for the link/info. Good weigh-in.

Which tournament? There were 4 of them out there Saturday. We were in the ISC tourney and it took 4 fish (our club limit) at 14.55 pounds to win with a 5.54 big bass. Saw one group heading for weigh...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-30-06 AT 09:33AM (EST)[p]Eric, not proving anybody wrong here. Unfortunately, there are a lot of different fees for a lot of different reasons all being argued over in the same...

Ditto on ALL your comments, including those about Mike :)

As you said, been there, done that. Everyone needs to determine their own point at which this fishing stuff (tourneys or otherwise) isn't...

Motor was bought brand new with a new boat purchase in 2002. Was taken off early in 2005 for repair work (plastic handle crack - replaced) and never put back on the boat after service. Just swapped...

Hey Bassman, it's true (LOL). I swung by the Dick's on W. 86th over lunch yesterday browsing around. Saw a sign for them but no baits. Asked the clerk and he said they got a shipment of 90 of them in...

I've been running a MK Maxxum 74# hand-control for 3 of the past 4 years, and a 65# MKMaxx hand for the last year. Both of these have been on a 17.5' TR-176. It's one of those things where you will...

Believe it was 82 pounds and change for the top 2 teams at Geist/Morse. Winning team won by about 6/10ths of a pound. I heard third place team dropped down into the low 50's for poundage.

Don't waste your money. Numerous studies have been done and the questionable point in the US seems to be the 37th parallel (Mid-TN to OK). North of this line would be highly unlikely to be...

Picked mine up tonight at the BSTS (DNR booth - Tackle Town) in Indy. I'm good to go as soon as the weather allows :)

No snow here, just sunshine but 6 degrees F at 11:00 this morning, so I'm not venturing out...

Wrong and right...

Stripers have the same type air bladder system as bass, that being a sealed system that...

Without a doubt they work. Last year I started throwing jigs that had been tied using red hooks and without fail, every fish I caught on those jigs, regardless of skirt color, always had the red hook...

By sportsman are you really just referring to anglers? Reason I ask is because there are a number of sportsman's groups representing mostly (but not all) hunting interests in the state with some...

That's one way of looking at it Charlie, and you might be right and they lose some revenue. But it could also be argued that the opposite will occur, because once the permit is bought, you will now...

I agree, I think it's a good thing. Much easier to implement, much easier to enforce, and more fair than the old system. Gone are the days of some poor guy showing up at the ramp at 4AM just to...

Yep, Have ordered things from them before and never had a problem...good customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Hey Moose/Jon,

While all this map talk stuff is fun and is a great way to kill some time through the winter, MHO is that you guys are spending a whole lot of effort for not much reward. Maps are...

Moose, levels and measurements all come from the area adjacent to the dam. That is the deepest part of the lake with all the Corps facilities housed right there.

As for flows, historical for the...

Sorting Fish

Anglers are responsible for maintaining fish in a healthy condition if they wish to return that fish to the water. Dead and dying fish cannot...
