BSmaster, I've never seen this.  Thanks for sharing.

If you have ever been or are going through a divorce, you don't know anything about your woman until you meet her in court.

Thanks guys for all of your input. We might give it a shot this year. 

Thanks guys.  I think we might try and enter a tournament this summer.

We weren't talking of ice fishing, we were thinking about summer fishing in a Proam tourney.  We were going to fish in a 19 footer for a couple of days.  I know $270.00 isn't a lot but what kind of chance do a couple of guys with three years experience have against a charter captain with a big fully rigged charter boat and twenty years experience.  I hope someone from the tournament committee would chime in.  How do you pit a charter captain and crew with years of experience and the best equipment in the open division with new guys starting out? 

A couple of friends and I were considering entering in the Open division this year.   We heard several things.  The open division is for the weekend anglers and guys that don't get out to much but we also heard that there have been charter captains in the Open division.  If a guy is a charter captain or using a charter boat, shouldn't he at least be in the amateur or professional division and not the open division?  I don't know, just my opinion.

I saw them being shown at the Hamburg Sportsman Show last year.  Some guys like them and some hate them.  Some guys have said that they dive straight down and they couldn't control them and other said they worked great.  I guess it matters if you know what you are doing with them.  I have never tried them.

Thanks for helping her Larry. 

Just remember folks, you are buying from a widow.  I don't know her circumstances but if something is worth a lot more and you know it and she doesn't, throw her a few bucks extra.  If your family was in the same situation, you would want the best for them.  You know what I mean.

Thanks for the info.  It is very interesting.

I hate to sound stupid guys, but what is an ice boom?  I hear it mentioned but I would like to know what it is?

Thanks,

Sk8man,

Where is this park with the launch located? I was at Samson State Park years ago but if there is a park at the North end, I would rather go there.

Thanks,

Frank
