Landshark Must be a big ole cane pole! Nah, that's for really old men ;-) Landshark I've had a 10 foot cane pole for years, great for pan fish. Time for a new pole? I have some bamboo in my yard thats over 20 feet tall. Hard to fit in the truck! ;) Is it cold enough for Ice Fishing were you are? Great way to crappie fish, after a few Tom and Jerry's. No safe ice yet. It'a also a great way to catch Walleye and Perch if Lake Erie freezes up tight enough. Thought you weren't supposed to eat fish from Erie? I've been eating it for years. Lake Erie isn't the sewer it used to be. It's known as the Walleye capitol of the world. Been awhile since I have had fresh walleye, you can ship any extras you may have down to me.. We'll see. You don't have a freshwater fish market near you? No really, you would think since we are so close to the coast that seafood would be cheap here. The only thing that is cheap is catfish, or tilapia (grass carp). I prefer crappies or sunfish, or even bass if its done right. |

I know someone that lives on a river and grows that stuff....sells it only on the weekends and one Monday a month at flea markets. Guess he makes great cash at it,,,those lots begin at 100G with no home on it,,add the house and you're looking at 150 and up, easily. |

The grouper are being caught daily, and plenty of them,,,inshore and out, but the damn restaurants are raping the tourists, now that the season is in full swing. Plenty of charters selling out and new blood taking their place....oldtimers are going out once a day instead of twice and making more than they ever did, by.......selling to the restaurants. Even the restaurants with their own boats can't keep up with the demand right now. |

I can't believe this message board is still 'haunted' by the same few bad apples after so much time has gone by............ I just read the last 10 or 15 days of postings, and this news group is as bad or worse than when I left it. Well, for the old timers out there; an update: I retired from Lucent after 37 years (to avoid being laid off and to 'lock-in' my retirement medical benefits before they reduced the retiree health plan options again). I finally had time to do some travelling and went to Sturgis for the first time this year. Aside from Stugis, I have been spending most of my time fishing and just riding my motorcycles; neither of which I can do in this COLD weather which is why I decided to check in on the old newsgroup again. To supplement my income I have been doing contract engineering for a medical electronics place. Since I get paid by the finished job, I can come and go as I please with no set schedule, and I really like that. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! Regards, Dennis W. Ostrowski #12 \ Dennis, I don't know if you would remember me, but I just wanted to say welcome to retirement! It's FUN, ain't it!! Like you, I kinda got forced out in 2000, and looked upon the future with dread. I worked all my life from the age of 15 and couldn't envision not having a job to go to or a "clock" to punch. I discovered a couple of things: 1) I am more busy than EVER, and (2 it is nice to get up in the morning and have to option of doing or not doing. I can get up in the AM, make a pot of coffee, and go downstairs and tinker in my radio shack/shop, if the weather is bad (snow, ice, rain), I don't have to go out in it. No traffic to fight, no wear and tear on my car commuting. The downside is that everyone now says, "OH! You can do this little "favor" for me." or "How 'bout doing........... you're retired and have nothing to do". Boy, ain't that a joke! There's ALWAYS something to do. But right now, I think I'll run up to a friend's shop and go to lunch! 73 Jerry retired kind of early didn't ya jerry??? Yes, I did! I didn't want to, but it worked out that way. I got "downsized" and squeezed out by a huge corporation. But, I am still fortunate. How many people can make xx number of dollars while working, then go home and make as much or more? Plus no commute. How's that go on the McDonalds commercial? I'm LOVIN' it!!!!! Jerry you got downsized?? hmmm...what exactly did you do jerry, before you retired if you don't mind talking about it.....sounds exciting......... |

They want to import all their fish from New Zealand and Australia rather than sell gulf fish. You can't find amber jack, snapper, but all kinds of imported white roughy. I didn't think that the U.S. allowed game fish to be imported. I thought the Walleye and others that were sold were farm raised? |

The only real good deals you get are if you meet the shrimp boats when they come in and buy right off the boat. If boats are selling seafood without the proper licensing here and they get popped, chances are high you won't be seeing the owner on that vessel again. They really cracked down on this over the years. The real money has been curtailed. Not only does a moratorium exist, but several years waiting list to attain certain commercial licensing permits for when they DO start reissuing such permits,,,such as Blue Crab. Some of the oldtimers were grandfathered..: ) |
