My girls are only 10 years old, they are really into the outdoors, they both play softball, they lost 1 game out of the championship, they were bummed out, I told them this is only the 2nd year you gals played and you made it this far!! That's great, then they said yea now we have time to go fishing dad, if I say we are going fishing they are running in place at the door, once we get up to camp they go to bed at 9pm and there're up at 5 ready to go. They last about 4 hours if we're on fish, then the crawl up in the cuddy for a cat nap if nothing is happening I don't push them we head in and do what they want to do the rest of the day. They will ask where are we going tomorrow I usually tell them it depends on the weather and the wind. They are always ready to go again!! I'm really blessed even if my wife comes up she will go out also, I put her behind the wheel and the girls and I set rods, sometimes they will let mom reel 1 in, if one hits off the rigger the girls know how to bring the ball up then I let Paula reel that one in and I'll take the wheel untill it's net time. We have a blast!!!

Absolutely piratesholly, I'm the same, he was more than my dad he was my best friend and when he passed away from cancer it was the worst day of my life. Since then I was rewarded with 2 beautiful girls(twins) it's hard to believe it's 10 years already and today I got a 48 gun, gun safe from my wonderful ladies. My girls are chomping at the bit to come up to our camp and go out on LakeO and do some fishing, that's why I'm pushing to get my lower unit back on the boat, and adjusted up, so when they come up we can just head out and enjoy ourselves. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

Jigstick, when you say the fishing usually picks up at 58* then why is it on fire at 68, is 68 down temp? I'm by no means calling you out!! I'm always trying to learn, and you certainly got going on!!! Thanks for any feedback!! PAP PS. Walleye fishing can be mysterious!!!

Sounds to me like the probe played a major role as to fish or no fish. This is the third post I read today that the a probe made the difference between a good day and ok day, the reason I say "ok day" is because there is no such thing as a bad day when your fishing with friends or solo. Great post!!

It may be another year of the phantom fish. They mysteriously disappeared, then one by one started to show up, just about when we figured they were here to stay they disappeared until late in the year. It was the year that the lakers saved a lot of skunks

There ya go Jimmyi, when the power of minds work together there is always a positive outcome, Splifshot you have a lot of people pulling for you, you will have a speedy recovery and you will be back in the captains chair very soon!! PAP

PAP!!

Can I come over for supper on the nights your cooking!!! Sounds great BS I'm the cook under our roof and our family loves the wild game and fish,especially when I deep fry bass and walleye, my one daughter isn't a fish eater but she likes walleye deep fried in peanut oil and beer battered

That was nice evening for you, enough action to keep you on your toes!! Congrats to you evening. PAP.

Hey both of you guys Splitshot and Jim, I wish you guys the best!! I know medicine has come a long way, but it's still nerve racking when your on the receiving end, just be sure to become good friends with your Anastasiaoligist, so they give you good shot happy juice!!, after 3 back surgeries and the last one the most involved operation I ever went through, my hope and prayers go out to you guys, think positive and it will go smooth. You'll be having a fishing pole in your hands very soon. Keep us posted on how you two make out. Your friend Mike!!

I was thinking the same thing but for a 2 stroke, I'm going down to Hobbie town, they have all the servo's for model air planes and off road RC trucks, once I see what I'm dealing with and the throw of the arm and how long the arm is and how little I can make them move, figuring I'll have to hook into the throttle linkage with a 2 stroke, I'll keep you posted on what I find!!!

Hey there Sluggo keep us posted, headed there toward the end of the month, good luck and safe trip to & from, and on the water!!!
