I have a friend that is seriously considering buying his first boat, mostly for cruising/tanning/swimming etc and occasionally fishing. I've been advising a 16 - 18' outboard (70 - 90 HP) bowrider and others are telling him inboard is the way to go. Just wondering what the general consensus out here...

oh yeah....the stoup/stewp was her son's idea...not quite soup, not quite stew

For those of you who know how to de-bone a pike, stumbled across an awsome meal tonight. fillet and cut pike strips into 1" chunks, fry and season (the lemon pepper made it) , add boiled taters and a can of mushroom soup. wow......CC's kid who hates eating fish was asking for more.

My go to is the spook but if CC is using it, doesn't seem to matter which top water you have if the bass are on the prowl. The retrieve seems to make or break the catch. I like to let the ripple go away and give it a slight twitch and settle before bringing it home. Anything watching that lure after...

Bought a bag of frozen smelt and can't get any interest in the house to help me eat them. Anybody ever used them for bait?

Looking forward to that Phil. Too bad we couldn't connect this year but somehow life seems to keep getting in the way

Hey, Saskie; you and Hoser did quite good, I'd say. Any catfish sausages on the menu, Hoser? :wink: W. Still haven't tried that yet Wolfe. You have a very long memory....was 2 years ago I mentioned that Hey Saskie.....she danced my @ss off but it was worth the pain. Chicken liver rules! Glad it was...

Thanks for the night my friend. Had a blast and racked up some points. You going to try chicken liver now?

Saskie....CC offered me a bribe. I fish with you tomorrow night and I take her dancing Friday night. We better catch something.....she can dance all friggin night.

PS...I have a bag full of chicken livers. defrost time?

CC and I troll probably 50% of our fishing time. Besides the fact that we get pike, bass and walleye in deeper water, there is something to be said for enjoying the loons, serenity, scenery and companionship while slowly cruising the water. Mind you, that all ends when I finally figure out what and ...

hey Saskie....jump in here. we all need a Naval Electronic Warfare Senior Emitter Analyst monitering our fishing lakes for terrorists etc.

good question. basstalker and I proposed a section on the forum last summer to be able to pass business on to fellow F-Hawkers and no takers. oh well

Mr J.....having braided line is like having a woman. awesome stuff but has it's drawbacks..... just pretend it's your wife and tune out the noise like the rest of us.

well folks, it was nice knowing you. I'm a dead man when CC reads this.

BF....ever notice the yellow dude is reeling his fish in backwards?

Heading there this weekend to do the camping thing. Anyone know if there is shore fishing worth bringing some equipment along for?
