Mark K Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 hmmmm... nobody ice fishing this spot HA! Many a time I stood under that bridge on a warm summer evening casting topwater for smallies. There would be ten feet of ice over my head now!

jude Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 That is a cool picture! Edit to add: no pun intended. I swear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Oddly enough I can't remember exactly how high the bridge is. This is the only picture I have with it in the background. I don't think you can touch the girders even with a 7 foot rod. Or a ten foot pole...Stretch Polanski was his name if I recollect... Nevermind. Hey dude! The 90's called, they want their hair back! In any case. Thats one hell of a lot of ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Heard on the radio today that when that ice jam breaks free, the poor folks around Wilmington are in for one hell of a floodin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think most of the flood damage is being done downstream a bit from Wilmington proper . They are still getting some but not as bad as a couple weeks ago . BTW , it's fishable a ways upstream , at least it was on Monday . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark K Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Mark, Are those Korker wade shoes you're wearing? No. That picture is something like 1996 or 97 long before I had them. Probably have a pair of Nike's full of those tiny pointy snail shells. I still have and use my Korkers. They are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kend Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 ........... I still have and use my Korkers. They are awesome. Mark, Glad you like them. Yes, they're awesome. They're the best wade shoes I've even owned. I have a pair of the sandels too---I use them over my boot foot waders and hippers. Great for walking on ice too.

Mark K Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I like the fact that they are ultra durable and I can change the sole to best fit conditions. Since mine show virtually no damage on the uppers, changing the sole results in pretty much a brand new boot. If I were buying another pair, I would get these: http://korkers.com/product.php?recKey=38 Based on the lacing system alone. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
