I did join a Geist only circuit that fishes once a month through September. That's the extent of my fishing plans for 2008. I'm going to rethink things come Fall and possibly put my 1998 Ranger up for sale. Notice that I said "put it up for sale"......selling may be hard to do. I'm just glad I'm not committed to making 144 payments on a $50K rig.

And as a side note, say no to ethanol based fuels. It is not the answer as you'll notice from your grocery bills. Not My Man Mitch needs to recognize this as well. The benefit the local farmers noticed from the ethanol craze is over and his input costs have caught up. Diesel, fertilizer, pesticides, etc. have all risen sharply causing his net profits to be the same (or less) than they were before the push for ethanol.

Don't vote Mitch in November!
Corn based ethanol is a crock but I fail to see how our fine Gov is responsible for this mess. Now you want to talk about getting some things done for the DNR we can talk. Before he came along they were basically closing down facilities at our lakes and DNR properties. They are not only up and being taken care of now but if you have been to Patoka lately you will see some nice new docks instead of the Mickey Mouse things we did have. Better compare Indiana financially to all the states around us and you will see why I will be voting for OUR MAN MITCH again.
