  1. I don't want to wear out my welcome on the ISA forums to promote my business but I thought I would give you an update on available dates. Here they are: July: 1,6,7,8,12,13,29 August: 3,4,9,10,11,12,17,19,23,24,30,31. Sept. is wide open after the 9th I went out for a solo wade last night. Only got one but it was a dandy.
  2. I just drove past this on I-90 on my way back to Rhinelander. You could see the smoke from miles south. Chemical plant on a river, what could go wrong ? Maddening and heart-wrenching. “Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man”.

  3. I haven't floated in it yet. In fact, I finally did my first float of the year, with Paul Trybul, on Wed. I caught a 40" Muskie on the Wisconsin River but we used my Osprey. Paul boated a dozen or so smallies and I got maybe 6-7. As far as the Old Town Camper, I purchased the snap in center seat so I need to do a maiden voyage with 3 people. I move on June 7. Somebody(s) should book a trip with me. 😁

  5. After I announced that I would be starting a guide service and that, at least for this season, my watercraft was going to be a 14 ft. canoe, a number of ISA members kindly informed me that the lack of owning a watercraft that could take two anglers and myself could pose a problem with prospective clients. The goal is to eventually acquire something like a Stealthcraft Hooligan but in the meantime I may have a solution. An ex-student of mine informed me that his family was selling their lake house in Elkhorn WI and wanted to know if I would be interested in a canoe they had. Student asked his dad how much he would sell it to me for and dad said "one dollar" Turns out the canoe is an Old Town Camper. 16 ft with a weight capacity of 1,200 lbs and.......it's.........made of...................ROYALEX !!-----(insert celestial music here). If I add a snap in center seat and oarlocks I believe this will work pretty well. I gave the dad something to alter his mood and he was very happy. I'll get another seat back too.

    Yeah, I stumbled across these about a week ago. I like.
  7. Gordo's Guide Service had a cancellation for June 29-30. Here is the original post. It's a good deal. "Want to see some beautiful water and have a shot at a trophy smallmouth bass ? Gordo's Guide Service can get you there. Book June 29 or 30 and get 20% off the regular day rate off $300. Book both dates and get 30% off. Two days on two different rivers. The Northwoods of Wisconsin is what your soul is craving".

  13. Good point. I imagine that problem is limited to a few specific waterways.

June 3, July 5 Aug 8,9,16,26, I have a number of weekends and Fridays that are not booked for music gigs yet. Since there is a good possibility that they will be booked, I am holding off on making them available. However, if they are not booked by 3 weeks before the date I will open them up for trips. Thanks, everybody
