Re: Teddy Roosevelt on Immigration I havnt met one yet who is here legal and cant speak english, when i do then maybe the opinion will change.

Re: Secret spot [ QUOTE ] Secret spot for me is just behind my house. Huge carp and catfish in there to catch and snapping turtles. If I cross that to the island I get into a hunting zone for duck/geese followed by access to the main river. On the river I have my secret spots, but I dare not mention or describe them because they are out in the open just overlooked a lot by people on the river that don't live around here. The other secret spot of mine was a restricted area to employees of the company only and my father worked for the company, so would take us as guests. After 9/11 they stopped allowing even workers to fish on their shores, but are talking about opening it back up again soon. Can't wait to get back out there fishing again used to get our fill of walleye in a few hours and that's where we caught our 2lb+ black crappie. [/ QUOTE ] Are you talking about lake erie? in that last part. just a thought.

Re: Secret spot Hmm its not much of a secret any surf-fishing book about Marthas Vinyard will have it but not for the faint of heart. It starts with a mile hike down the beach under the low tide mark(property laws) then Its a wade 1/4 mile off the beach. There is a "L" shaped bar that comes off the beach before cutting to the east. You can only wade the bar out at extreme low tide, before it becomes to deep. Once out there on the east side the water is only shin deep at low and waist at high The best fishing is on the incoming tide. So you wade out prepared to be on the water for up to 6 hours. There is a deep hole on the inside of the "L" when water washes over it makes a real nice rip, Striper and Bluefish city. We normally fish it at night and tow a small dingy out to keep fish, food,life jackets, and flares. Used to keep the fish on a long line untill i had a shark pay visit drawn by the blood in the water. It used to Scare the crap out of me before GPS because the wade in is PITCH black and you needed a wading staff to know that you where walking(dont want to hit the hole) several guys have gone to the deep blue stepping off the bar and into the hole being careless. Cant fish it with a boat because there alot of big rocks around (seen several try with bad results) There is somthing about watching a glowing object as big as you swim between your legs, not knowing what is on the end of your line till the headlight beam hits it two feet in front of you, all 1/4 mile from shore that gives flyfishing a whole new look.

Re: PLastics on Flyrods [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Anyone got any experience/ comments. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah! I have a comment. Save the plastic purple worms for your Jimmy Houston bass rod! If you are going to fly fish, then fly fish. If you really must, they make flies that look like worms. Plastics on a fly rod is like strawberry jam on a chicken wing. [/ QUOTE ] If you think your a doing it the old fashion way you are only kiddin yourself bud. Do you still use a silk line that you must hand dry every couple casts? Do you only fish with split cane? Does your real have drag system? Is your bow a stick and string recurve, Where do you get your flint for the muzzleloader? There are more space age materials in your line/rod/reel than there are on the shuttle. I still have all the trad. fly gear and fish it now and then but its a PAIN in the butt. Look in your fly tying box almost everything is a synthetic of some kind, especially if you fish saltwater at all. Cone heads, trout beads or soft eggs(otter soft) foam, your jungle **** eyes are not jungle ****. In fact to be a REAL flyfisherman anymore you must be a trust fund baby. Have you seen the cost of quality hackle?,split cane, or True jungle eyes. I Used to tie Long flatwing flies 7-14 inches for eel imitations, i could get maybe 15 flies out of a bag of hackle that bag is now well over $100 A bag of 12inch worms is what 5 bucks. You still have to get it dressed up and looking good so the bench time is still there. Fly-fishing is well beyond the time if chicken feathers, its that up turned nose that give flyfishing its snobby elitist trade mark.(jimmy remark?) flyfishing is tough enough Learning to cast, get the right drift/depth. Remember the object of fishing is still to catch fish right? Use whatever you want to use on a flyrod. The new Boron rods work real well as wip to beat of the pesky "orvis boys" who are all look and little fish. If any mods see this those stars are a kind of jungle bird (used to make eyes on flies) im not trying to pull a fast one here.

Re: PETA thats nothing new swamp, they have always used naked women to draw attention.

Re: Farmers & hunter 2gether [ QUOTE ] I recently knocked on two doors and found that the farmers have been "waiting" for someone, anyone, just someone who would be willing, to come in and take some crop damaging deer off their properties!!! Of course I also had roughly a dozen "Nope, but thanks for asking" too. [/ QUOTE ] a good lace to start are your local grape vinyards. There number one killer are deer and turkeys, I have permission on almost four hundred acres in Iowa by making phone calls to vinyards from here in Arizona.

Re: Good News for Slackers!! Have you heard that the french health dept. is trying to force this on employers? Lets see 35 hour work week plus mand. naps no wonder that place cant get anything done.

Re: Teddy Roosevelt on Immigration You hit the nail on the head, Illigally earned money flooding into mexico(and not back into the american economy) audacity to claim a couple million people BREAKING the law as okay.

Re: PLastics on Flyrods For crappie? I used to use a long 11foot noodle rod for bluegills, Ive thrown alot of wolley buggers with the twister tail stuck on the back, and also use alot of clousers with a 12" black worm(eel) when Surf casting for stripers. Caught some BIG fish with that trick.

Re: big bass! um im going to guess you mean large mouth, Ive caught some stripers that would eat those fish for bait.

Re: Fawns in Winter [ QUOTE ] Welcome to the forums My guess is Mama got shot They should survive no problem if you're having a mild winter. If you do decide to feed them, I would do it away from the house so they don't get tamed down. It won't help them come hunting season, and they'll just hang around and eat all your wife's flowers. [/ QUOTE ] Go with steve here, we had some fawns like that my last year in Ohio, i shot a doe out of my field that year and always wondered if that was mom. Regardless i used to scatter hay in our back corner for them through jan, feb, and early march.

Re: Former Forum member needs prayer dont pray much but he will be in my thoughts.........whenever i see a post like this I think of old Norm a great guy who i think about everyday when i sit in a tree stand, dont know if you have heard from him or his wife steve but let him know he is missed here.

Re: Teddy Roosevelt on Immigration [ QUOTE ] I agree as well that immigrants should learn and be taught the English language. Though I'm sure that the reason it is hard for immigrants to learn our language has absolutely nothing to do with being "learning disabled or just too lazy." That's assuming these people are either mentally handicapped or have all the time in the world and the means to learn the language, but just dont care. Often these people come here out of sheer necessity. They dont have time before leaving their country to learn English. Now, when they get here, they also often lack sufficient funds to live very long. This requires them to seek out work immediately to feed their families and provide a living arrangement. And it's not all that simple finding places to learn English either. Most of these ESL classes cost money to enroll in. Now with working jobs that dont pay well because you cant speak the language, which slows your training, and hurts your progression to decent paying jobs, affording this chance to learn can be difficult. Life isnt easy for these folks and they often work just as hard if not harder than us ourselves. The only difference is they're working from a distinct disadvantage. [/ QUOTE ] A lot of them also dont work, dont show up to work to attend immigration rallies, and dont want to learn the language because its the perfect excuse for doing things the easy way. I work all around them every day. The ones who care DO learn the language because really its not that tough for them. there around it all day. Considering most of them come to this country by jumping the fence whenever they please its pretty easy to learn the language before they come. And last the support systems they have provide for them as soon as there over the fence. They live ten to an apartment beg things out of us and send ALL the money back to mexico. How many of these people do you think show up with a family?? i can tell you less than 40% if you ask a mexican where his family is he points south, or says one at home one still in mexico. The feelings you show here are EXACTLY how they want you to feel, it means one more extra thing they can get out of you.

Re: Obama Announces his run for President I dont know anything about him except i keep hearing that he was taught at an islamic school? Everything I have read says he lived there from age 3-5(because his mom moved him there)after which his mother sent him back because she wanted him to have an AMERICAN education. Im not standing up for the guy. He is a south chicago democrat so i know he is anti 2nd amend. but i dont think 2-3 pre-teen years can mean he studied islam on his own behalf. Also Im pretty his father was from the middle of Africa (not to be confused with his step-father who was a muslim) I dont want to sound racists by any means but an african american in the white house scares me. I've heard the "well if it was a white guy" thing so many times it makes me sick. Everytime somthing happens to and african american they blame it on there skin color and not the idiot actions they took to get there. I agree with texan though, the republicans should be getting there cards in order, with the mud slinging those two will throw at each-other it should be easy to keep out of the dirt.

Re: Choke lube? I always just use a tiny bit of gun oil on them. Im sure AJ will have some good ideas for you.

Re: black oil sunflower seeds Should eat them just fine, Ive heard deer will leave sunflowers alone if thats all thats there. Im sure if u mixed it though they would eat it. All the upland birds(turkeys are part of that) LOVE sunflower seeds

Re: Iowa Deer Classic I plan on going one day, bought a plane ticket to do some turkey spotting and the dates work out. Looking forward to seeing whats new in the deer world.

Re: Chuffa If you plant it be ready, the stuff will spread like wildfire. and it will be tough to kill, the seed will sit dormite(sp?) in the soil for up to 20 years and any soil disturbance will bring it right back up. I would keep it well away from my other plots. its tough to

Re: Link for birds I moved to Arizona part time in the summer of '05, and full time jan. of '06 I used to live 20 minutes from Chris in central ohio. he is an awsome guy who i still consider a good friend.

Re: Surfcasters - Request for Assistance I know nothing about there Surf gear, But i do own four Penn reels. Cant remember the size off hand(there at the beach house) but they have worked very very well on everything from Stripers to albi's with very little maint. would recomend them to anyone. Tell him to Remember SALT WATER will EAT anything not up to the task.

So I was looking through gun broker for no real reason and came across something that confused me(not tough to do) What is the differance between the SUPER Nova and the Nova? I thought both could shoot 2 3/4-3 1/2.
