Hey all.  Had tons of probs w/computer last  year, got a new one.  How was everyones holidays?  Can't wait for the ice-cubes to melt, only used new trolling motor twice last year.

Hello to all the new members.  I am in Rochelle ( I-88 and Route 39/51) just sout of Rockford.  I have a 17' Jon boat w/10 hp motor and trolling motor.  Always looking for new friends to go fishing with.  I fish all over the place.

I have not scheduled ANYTHING for this summer at all except to fish and fish and fish.  Has anyone heard about the LaCrosse meeting this year yet?  Finally going to be able to go this year.  I started this new POST so that we all  can start to set up trips and get togethers.  ALL are always welcome to attend.   Great times are  had everytime except for Joda , he's always trying to get someone's rod unsnagged.

brkat:  Congrads on the lil' ones first fish.  Tried callin, but must have put in wrong # when got new cell in June.  Have you heard from any of the BOYZ??  Doesn't look like many are left since they re-designed the web site, but looks like new members are stepping up.

I was planning an ice fishing meet for this winter until we had some 60 days last month and the private pond opened up. Have not been back there yet to check the ice. Might head out there next weekend. What's up BRKAT? Hey Kelley.

JB68, Not to much waiting for winter to end. Need to unbury my boat someday, my daughter is taking over the garage. Good Luck on the ice.
Go White Sox !!

I got about 12 Crappies on Saturday. Nice little meal to go with the Bluegill I already have in the freezer.

My camper is frozen in the ground right now. The wheels are probably about 2 inches frozen.

I would like to go to Banner Marsh soon, but I have alot of tournaments coming up. Maybe Pastor T and I could hook up. There seems to be allot more members in the southern area now.

If you listen closely you can hear the ice melting. Come on open water.

I'm hoping that the snow we got last week was Old Man Winter's Last Stand. It sure is nice to see open water again. I was tired of breaking holes in the ice just to put my boat in (LOL).

Made it to about 47 deg. today. Still a bit nippy to get-d-boat out though. I still have the cover on it, but at least the tires aren't frozen in 3 inches of ice anymore. When it get's into the 60's-70's I'll surely have the itch to get it out. I have to go to Gurley, Nebraska on Monday and be back home on Friday night. It's only about an 11 hour drive...one-way. I hear there isn't anything to do out there either...except walk around Cabela's or Wal-Mart.

I checked on "DA BOAT" yesterday and I'm starting to think about things that I need to do to get it ready. I'm getting itchy to get my hands on some worms and fish slime.

   Are there any meets planned for Illinois this summer... ie, Starved Rock, or anything in that area..
