Leave the river. Go in state. The Chippewa flowage is great fishing.

I grew up on a lake. My grandfather took me out often as a young boy. Opening day every spring was spent with him on Lake Owen in norther Wisconsin. One morning i remember in particular it was cold, ice on the minnow bucket cold. We were drifting over some walleye spawning beds. He kept catching and i did not. i asked him why. He told me "Boy, you have to learn to hold your mouth right." Turns out that advice was applicable to many things in life.

Lure I was using was not barbless. When I catch and release I go barbless. When I am looking for supper not so. I grew up eating bass. Also lots of perch and walleye.

Bass fishing is fun. A one pound bass will give more fight than a four pound walleye. When you can get them to hit on the surface they are lots of fun. To me bass fishing is really hunting, you figure out where the prey is laying in ambush off of structure and you hunt them up, sort of similar to river fishing for trout, find the structure and the eddies and hunt them up.

I much prefer walleye. Maybe on tommorows paddle I will troll out two lines with some diving Rapala shads and see if I can find the depth they are at. I am not one for imagining for fish so once they leave the spawning beds it is a guessing game for me though generally they are around 15 feet down.

I am. A bit of aluminum foil, some olive oil, salt, dill and parsley over hot hickory coals I set to smother as soon as I put it on so it smokes for maybe ten minutes in high heat as the coals extinguish.

100 bucks a gram times .007 grazms equals 70 cents. I doubt this is the first time there has been blow in the white house. Elvis visited Nixon, lots of chanpionship sports teams have visited, and both Trisha Nixon and the Bush daughters were partiers, and Obama stuck me as a fellow who occassionally pulled an all nighter.

I thought we did the math here and found it closer to 70 cents worth.

Nearby reservoir is still overfull from heavy spring/early summer rains and heavy run off. The run off seems to have caused an algea bloom. Too many homeowners over fertilizing their lawns and it all flows in. The conditions have suppressed walleye and trout fishing, though the walleye bit through the spawn. Lately I have been kayaking up the feeder creek just enjoying the turtles out sunning on the logs and throwing top water stuff up next to the structure. With the high water there are lots of trees and shrubs now in the water which use to be high and dry. The bass seem active in those tangles and in the sahdows and light caused by all the newly submerged structure. I saw a guy fly fishing today. The cottonwoods here are still producing like crazy and there is so much cotton on the surface I can't believe he is going to get any action. I did not see one fish jump all day. They seem immune to the goings on on the surface.

I remember. I remember the canceling the Dixy Chicks. I remember Ceasar Chavez back in the 60's and his grape strike and his lettuce strike in the 70's. I don't remember anyone boycotting brussel sprouts.

Pulled two from the Aurora Reservoir on my morning paddle. Both around 20 inches. They will be grilled up in about 5 hours.

I only patronize 5 of those companies to begin with and for the Hotel chains infrequently at that. As for companies the rest of those companies own, who knows. They may have substantial holdings in or wholly own companies I do business with. Were I a boycotter the one which would cause me some inconveniencve would be Home Depot though I could switch to Lowes or Ace as both are conveniently located near me. I like home Depot and know their store better than their manager does. i am sure I could learn Lowes in a short time as I do use it occassionally. (They seem to have algecide in stock when Home Depot does not.

Did it in Milwaukee. Kid did not make it all the way through the window.

TV. so much dreg I can't pick Movie- Yentel. Never actually seen it but I saw advertisements and that was enough. Song -Horse with No Name.

So if a person cannot accomplish everything they should accomplish nothing or be judged a hypocrite?

I am going to take the position that the death penalty would be a bit extreme for this behavior. I think a few hours in stocks in front of the school with her head in a hood to obscure her vision and a tub of rotting carp set out for others to go up and pummel her with might handle it. She would not be allowed to know who beotch slapped her with the fetid fish so she could not get revenge. Death is just so darn final.

I cannot countenance behemoths picking on kids half their size. I suppose, potentially, before this clip the tiny girl said something so provoking the behemoth could not restrain herself, but given the submissive behavior demonstrated by the small girl I doubt it. I hope the sentencing in the juvenile case includes introduction to vegetables and greens and eschewing supersizing of fast food meals.

Ever since Webster stopped appearing on the T.V. series of the same name and started publishing the New Collegiate Dictionary he justy went 'round the bend.

The decisional metrics, boiled down, are whether the state is red or blue with blue being a positive metric and red a negative one. With that the ratings are not surprizing.

I would think cycling would be helpful in keeping the wound from healing closed.
