Kolek planning to go pro
Going shopping this weekend.http://www.gsevents.com/shows/display.cfm?showID=56&showtypeid=3&src=345&sfid=73
I'll be there with the wife running a booth! Come say hi! Zero 40 outdoors... we'll have a ice shack on a trailer. My name is Bryan and I have long hair and a grizzly beard.
Stopped by your booth today at 3. You've got a great product. Very nice option compared to Ice Castle.
Went to a holiday party last night. One guy showed me pics of walleyes caught on tips with 2 inches of ice. Just nuts. Nice Wallys.
Yikes. No fish is worth a life. 2 inches... may as well keep the prop on and just be safe.
I just hope there is ice to fish on this winter.
Thanks. I was long gone by then.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Mods - can you start a separate board for "Missed Connections"??? Probably put it between the Superbar and Politics board (if we're going in order of importance/popularity).
Forgot to report on last week's ice fishing trip to St Germain. Fishing was kind of slow, although we managed to put northern, crappie, bluegill and walleyes on the ice. Attended the annual Radar Run. Hundreds, maybe thousands of snowmobiles. Saw a guy do 164mph on a sled on a 660 foot track. Highlight was the Bikini Run, 25 ladies in bikinis racing across the ice for charity. Going 107mph in 7 degree weather in a bikini to raise money for the Pink Ribbon Riders. Awesome.
Because it is for charity, I would like to see more photos .. .Please
Well, since you asked nicely, here you go.
Thinking about getting into rod making. Anyone have any experience/advice on the hobby and how to get started?Seen a few commercials on Mudhole.com. Any experience with them?
FWIW - I got a buddy who decided to try making his own fly rods, and one year later he sold all the rod-making stuff. Although, he's a hard core fly fisher, and the novelty of using something he built meant nothing to him... he wanted to build something better than what he could buy off the shelf, and I think he figured out that he was going to need much more than a standard rod making kit in order to engineer something that met his strict requirements.I would imagine if you're simply building a casting or spinning rod - or you can simply appreciate a hard day's work no matter the result - your experience will vary greatly. I've never tried it myself, but it sounds like something I might try some day when I stop winning rod/reel combos at shows and events.
