    Putting together a Great Lakes fishing Tackle Box (Advice)

    Thanks for that, actually VERY helpful. Would you have any advice on the following: size of spoons and line? My brother has been telling me about a line thats woven like rope, to be very strong yet still easy casting and thinner than expected. I went muskie fishing today and found a spoon...

    Another Interesting Boat I saw...

    I stopped and talked to the owners of this boat. It's called a "Hobo" and a brief google search shows it has a following almost as loyal as the CD. Looked pretty cool in person.

    Fishing brat - MN

    I don't think there are many of us out here mate. I live in St. Cloud now (cabin burned down up in Duluth in March) I have a 16 angler, but I'm still a rookie in the fishing department. I do plan a lot of time on Superior this summer, and there are a lot of bigger lakes here (Lake of the Woods...

    Interesting boat I saw last week...

    Some locals told me it was a native boat for netting in the apostle islands. Looked straight out of water world :)

    Putting together a Great Lakes fishing Tackle Box (Advice)

    Hi Everyone, My 16 Angler is more/less ready to hit the big lakes (whether I am is a different story) :) I have a couple of poles that I think are up for cohos and lakers, I just need to put together a basic tackle box for trolling and such. Please remember: I'm a complete rookie that never...

    Lazy Fishing

    As funny as that is (and those guys think it is) I imagine that river is more/less ruined for any sort of real fishing? Those are the fish the great lakes are trying like mad to keep out since they eat everything in site, leaving nothing but "lazy fishing"

    How much is this boat worth?

    I'll throw in here: I tried to sell my 91 16 angler with a 50HP 4-stroke (yes I said 4-stroke) listed here for months at $8500 and no one wanted it. I'm glad it didn't sell now, but this might give you something to go on.

    1989 C-Dory 22-cruiser $19,500

    (I'll post more about this when I get settled again: My home in Minnesota burned to the ground on March 11th 2011. I've decided to sell the 22-cruiser and keep the 16-angler.) The following is more/less a cut/paste relist from the last listing. Boat is located in Stanwood, Washington. 1989...

    Novice Fishing Question...

    Can someone explain to me why and when fish are sometimes deep, and other times near the surface? Do all species change depending on time of day, year, temps, etc? do some always stay deep, others always stay at the top? If I could get my head around this, I think it would lend itself to other...

    Deleveraging

    I know people are busy, and where we get our news is often a touchy subject, but I would like to post this link. http://www.youtube.com/user/thealexjone ... 1&ob=4#p/u This is some of the clearest macro-overview of our current problems I've heard in a long time. Brenton

    Deleveraging

    Fair enough to ask me to clarify this statement. I'm talking about people who won't or don't go to food banks. Working families as they generically call them, those that just get by (a larger and larger group). Food prices only go down when seller consolidation goes up (wal-mart model) and...

    Deleveraging

    I could type pages on this subject, but I won't. I agree with El and Bill, the economy as we've known it is NOT coming back. This will be painful for many many people, it already is. As I look around my age group/friends/cohorts, almost without exception they are broke, struggling, living at...

    Crazy idea due to high fuel costs

    Just looked over your live aboard album...looking good :) What are you reading there? I noticed being out on the boat promotes sinking deeply into a book. So cool, so cool :)

    Crazy idea due to high fuel costs

    I think this is so cool :) Everyone should "rough it" occasionally just to remind themselves how little they really need, and how much they take for granted. Good food in YOUR tank instead of the car...seems like a move up to me :)
