Well this morning I went out hunting for rabbits in Barry co. with four other guys. Out of five guys we went 9 for 14. The four guys took there 12 gauge shot guns while I happen to take my 20 gauge single shot. I happen to shoot two out of the nine rabbits and had a very good time. I tell you what, hunting for rabbits sure gives your legs a great work out. Well I hope you guys can give a rabbit hunt a try this year. Good luck, Caznik

Thanks guys, I will have to see what i can do and how to do it. My plans will be to vacum seal the jerky and only small amouts. But I know as soon as his friends try it that they will take it all in one day. Its really good, Rich

Who will it be Giants 23 VS. Patriots 17 I am going for the under dogs, the Giants.

This use to be my number one to way back when my dad and mom was into this fishing. I didn't know that they stoped making these very nice boats. I use to like them because of all the room in the back and the nice hard top. Rich

Well my other future son inlaw went to Iraq for a year to cover for other men that has been there for a year. What I want to do is send him some venison jerky over there so he can share with his friends and have for himself. I took him out hunting this year and he happen to shoot a doe for the first time and he will not beable to eat any of it. Him and I processed it and made sure his dad and mom had meat to eat for the winter. I want to ship it to him but not for sure how to do it. Can I put it in food saver bags and just ship it or will it spoil? Please let me know so I can surprise him with some venison jerky. Thank you, Rich

What do you like fishing for on the Great Lakes when it comes to the fight of a fish? My vote would have to be the Skamania Steelhead because that fish will not stop jumping out of the water and is a very tuff fish to bring in the boat. I remember fishing in the Harbor at Frankfort and they was very thick in there and my dad and I was hooking on lots of them. We lost alot of lures and lost allot of Skams that day. That afternoon we caught 4 Skams and lost so many it wasn't funny

Ok, This question the charter captains are probly the best to ask but I am sure there is probly some member's on here can answer this question to. The question is? If you are taking out a first time fisherman on any Great Lakes. What is the best medicine to give that fisherman so he will not get sea sick, also it must not get him drowsy or sleepy. Would the lady fishing girl have to take a different medicine? What time of day should he or she take it to? I just like to have that first time fisherman to have a great time and not worrie about if he or she will get sick out there. Caznik

Well what do you think is #1 for pulling power for your Great Lakes boat. I also mean gas millage, comfort for your crew riding with you, and backing up. Here is my #1 right now: It’s a 03 Chevy cab in a half 4X4 with a 5.3 vortex and it came with a special feature called Quadra steer for easy backing up boats and trailers. This truck I must say go's through a lot of gas when I pull my boat.(10 MPG) Also the back seat is not comfortable at all for my crew riding back there. But the best thing about my truck now is backing up my boat with that Quadra steer. It makes it allot easier for me to get my boat in the water very fast. My next truck will still be a Chevy, but it will be a crew cab to give my crew more room when they go with me. My vote is Chevy power....

Lets see what kind of boat brand name is #1 for fishing on the Great Lakes. I like to take a poll on this but there are so many out there. The dead line to reply to this thread will be next Friday. My vote will be: Lund Boats Cazzzzzz:D

Welcome to the site Cast-A-Way and nice fish there to. Rich:)

Welcome to the site Todd, if you need any help let me know. Rich

I rather buy my things made in the USA. I noticed some of my truck and car parts are made from Mexico and they do not last at all. Keep it in the USA...... Cazzzzzzzzz

We need just 8 more player's.....

Mike, Now remember, you do have a crew that does fish with you. He can also buy tickets to win prizes for either him or help out the captain that he fishes with all the time. So get your crew to buy tickets to and help you out if you like to win more. But otherwise only one of the four major prizes from Big Jon can be won per person. We are into this for helping out the kids:)...So buy lots of tickets.... Rich

There in the rules Mike.... Winnings will be awarded accordingly (You can win one prize per person) Prizes (thus far) to be raffled off, include: · 2 Electric Silver Captain’s Pak Downriggers. · Silver Dual Manual Planer Rigger · A pair of Silver Dual Multi-Set Rod Holders on Pedestal Base · A pair of Silver Multi-Set Rod Holders tree features · Lure package from Dreamweaver Lure Co. These prizes are contingent on getting at least 30 boats. We are working on door prizes for extra prizes, but as far as the big prizes from Big Jon. Only one per person.
