Lock wall

[redearhoosier]

Yea I hear you. I went to the shooting range the other day and forgot to take along the spotting scope and a stapler gun for mounting the target paper on the wooden back stop and target holders.

And I ended up on the 200 yard range and could not see the holes in the target. I ended up doing a lot of walking back and forth from the shooting bench to the target to see where my shot were hitting. I needed the exercise yes but I was kicking myself for forgetting the spotting scope. I had pins for the target paper so forgetting the stable gun was not a game ender.

Needless to say my feet and the back of my calves are a little sore this morning. But at least the planter factious tendons were not sore today like they have been in the past. I got some new foot inserts to help with that problem and they seem to be working and helping ease the pain in the bottom of my feet. It's hard to walk and lose weight when you feet are in pain.

I've been going through that planter factious crap too, it hurts me the most in the morning when I first get up out of bed. The pain is concentrated to my heels and generally will get a little better as the day wears on. I first had this condition when I was very young playing little league baseball and now that I'm 38 years old and a bit over weight, it's quite trying at times.

Pulling up on your foot can help loosen and stretch out that muscle on the bottom of your foot, try doing that. If you're sitting down in a chair simply cock your foot up towards the sky, leaving the ball of your foot on the ground in the process. Doing this stretches out that muscle on the bottom of your foot.

They make a special boot or ankle brace that you can wear at night that's suppose to help with this foot problem.

I bought the shoe inserts at Walmart that are suppose to help with this foot problem. They seem to be helping as my plantar factious tendon is not as sore in the mornings. I'm dieting or trying to and have lost a few more pounds. Losing weight should take pressure off the feet.

I hurt mine back around 1997 when I was working construction and carrying two 5 gallon buckets of concrete down stairs into basements. Then I'd carry the same buckets back up the stairs filled with muddy dirt. We were digging trenchs around the inside perimeter of the basement and installing a drainage system then covering the trench with pea gravel and finally capping it of with a layer of fresh concrete. Some basements didn't have easy access as the clients made up go in and out of the basement though one of the **** basement windows. They blocked off the door to the stairway and put up plastic sheeting to keep the dust out of the house. We created a lot of dust when we were using a jack hammer to bust up the concrete before digging the trench.


Sorry to take this off subject so I'll get us back on track now.

I read a article in Outdoor Indiana Magazine which quoted Mike Kellner about fishing on the Ohio River for Sauger. He likes to fish out there on the River below the Newburgh, IN Dam. He has a Lund boat that he fishing out of. He said to be careful out there. That River can be dangerous especially this time of the year when the water's cold. But that's when the Fish are running in 12 to 30 ft of water. Mike said that the sauger are chasing gizzard shad in the Ohio River this time of the years. There was a couple from Newburgh and a few other people from this area that were mentioned in the article as well. One guy and his wife that fish out of the Newburgh Launch. And they mentioned two guys from Missouri that come here to fish for paddle fish. Evidently they can sell the paddle fish eggs for $300 to $400 bucks. The article said that the Fall of the Sovient Union lead to zero enforcement of the fishing regulations and the poachers wiped out their egg producing fish. So the market turned to the Ohio River for it's caviar. And Ohio and some other states don't allow you to catch paddle fish with gill nets like they can in IN. I think that they should make sure that our fishery doesnt' suffer the same fate as the Russian Rivers.

Mike also said that if you get caught keeping more sauger than the daily limit you can get fined $500 and then so much for each fish over the limit. You can only catch so many sauger in one day. And it's illegal to go out in the morning and catch your daily limit and take them back to the vehicle and hide them and then go back out again to catch another limit. So be ware if you are poaching.

As for hooking up to the wall, I not really sure where along the way you guys are talking about. I'm guessing that there is metal supports along the side of the concrete walls? How do you keep out of the way of barges that are locking though the dam gates? If you are tied up to the wall are you not right in the way of a big boat locking though the locks?

The guy who's in charge of the Ohio River Fishing for IN DNR had his boat swamped by a barge one time. Now he won't go out on the Ohio River unless he is in a boat big enough to be a coast guard cutter. LOL. He's smart IMHO. I don't feel safe on the Ohio River at times in my little 16 ft boat. It's not really a River Boat. I found that out the very first time I ever took my boat out for a ride. I launched at Dress Plaza on cool day and the water sprayed up over the front of my boat getting me soaking wet. That was when I hit the very first wave in my brand new boat. It was thin that I figured out that a john boat with a flat front is not made to take on waves and the Ohio River. We had to slow way down to keep from getting soaked that day and it's been like that in my boat every since. It does great on calm water but if there are any big waves it's another story. I should have got a "V"bottom with a V front on my boat.

the side that they are talking about hooking up to the barges cand and dont lock through. they come through the opposite side of the wall they are hooking up to. so where they are they are safe from the barges but definitly not from the dangers of the water. it takes alot of patience to navigate on the ohio river. cant wait to get after the sauger

Have fun out there. I think I'm going to stay home where it's nice and warm.
