Nice, Keep the videos coming. . thanks Terry.

Wheres the swami dance when we need it? Now i think that is taking recycling too far!

UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO CATCH A SMALLMOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Norm Terry. Buy a pair of breathables, im enjoying them more than my neoprenes. Buy a tube of shoe goo, glue up the Neo's. Crap, I think i hear the plows coming down the road again... time to get back to shoveling.

I plan on being there as well. will take pics. try the video on the camera, then i will have to figure out what to do with the video.

Terry very nice pics, before and after. THANK YOU! Terry. Rich, do the dance!

Just got home from Rosemont show. Saw Gary Roach there today. Shook Ted's hand Ted ( the big cheese for lindy tackle) dont want to misspell his name. I had my camera in my pocket and i didnt think about it. Doh! Help me out here what is his last name?????? any way years ago I had a small joke going with the LIndner brothers and Gary Roach. My partner and i had finally caught some walleyes. In our annual carpenter walleye tournament, The pros were all around us and a few other carpenter boats were all close bye. My partner and I hook fish at the same time. we kind of fell off our spot on the spot. Most other boats stayed away saying something as we drifted by. Soon as i had my fish in the live well, I jumped on the trolling motor working our way back to the spot. Meanwhile Gary Roach is sitting on our spot with the Lindners teasing him. As we get to the spot i ask Gary if he is in our tournament, He says no as the Lindners are still poking him I tell him to move. Back at weigh in the Lindners approach my parnter and i to go bust Gary some more. They have him blocked at the ramps, they have a bunch of people in on the joke but not Gary. They gave us plano boxes of jigs to go give him a hard time. We did and there had to be 300 people at our weigh in. Finally he gave a box of jigs to leave him alone. The whole In-Fisherman crew were rolling on the ground laughing. Babe Winkelman has the hood of his truck up just rolling this great big bear of a laugh. Theres Ted patting us on the back for a well played joke. One of my favorite memories.. I dont think Gary Roach recogonized me today (thankfully) but Ted did.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!!

had fun! again fished new water. not the results i had in mind. saw some really cool things today saw this while i was tip toeing over some logs to fish a log jam the other paw prints didnt turn out as good as this one. warming back up ? maybe?

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy birthday John

Sorry gang, wont be able to make this one. Please take plenty of pictures. Good luck fishing as well.

Those of you who live to the north are missing your chance! We have a second meeting of the month, so that people from the north arent left out. You still dont attend.... We will evaluate the turnout for this meeting in our planning for the future functions of the Chicago region and how we can best accommodate the largest number of members. I for one am very dissapointed..

I'm not sure if i can make it. C'mon Terry do the dance!

Really hoping some of the folks from the north and east attend this meeting... The meeting will at dicks sporting store in Schaumburg. East side of Woodfield Mall. You can see the the store from route 53. Meeting will start at 5:30 hope to see some new faces

Looks like we need to have a ice fishing outing to test out these patterns. set it up i would enjoy that

that is a very nice looking waxie. if you tie any extras, I would love to try one

we will also have a guest speaker from P K lures

3 days before the NORTH meeting of the Chicago Region. Anyone planning on attending? Im also planning on fishing Saturday before the meeting.

Probably just wished he was in the Central Region.... No not really! Just trying to get a few of you up here as well.

my mistake. hope people from the north and east dont think its to far of a drive.

Yes, we are having a second meeting for the month. This one we hope to meet some of the members from the north. We hear it all to often, (thats to far). Well, here's your chance! This meeting is being held at Dicks sporting goods in Woodfield Saturday, 11-13-10, 5:30 pm. 1 week from today!!! see you there!!!
