| Ditch it, THATS ME ON MUSKIECENTRAL, MUSKIES101 AND MHM ! Me, Boro, and Ben Remer started using the names Blind Squirrell, One-Legged Duck, and Tail-Less Beaver 2 years ago to come to the cause of righting internet injustices that we spotted on Muskie Fishing boards!!! I am the Blind Squirrell (yes I am also, Slamr, AJ [the Angry Jew], and in my office The Rhino, and one or 2 people do call me Andrew from time to time), you cannot be me!
Paul, if you want a name, just ask....I turned jm03 into Lunch_Box and then into the Red Menace, and though he has settled on Luke Chinewalker (and that name is hilarious) he does catch more fish now....coincidence?!?
Change the name back PAUL! Do you really want me using your name?
Slamr
*D'OH, just revealed my secret identities!!!! |

| Hiya Paul,
Maybe you should stay away from the negative names anyway. They may be a self-fulfilling prophecy, bringing you bad luck. Maybe choose a name that is more positive, or at least neutral. How's about...
MuskyTatoo (that sure fits you, eh?)
LuresUpYours (because you have sooooo many lures)
MuskyLoner (because you are a fiercely independent sort of guy)
MuskyMiles (because you travel long distances to fish)
IHateShady'sMoon (explains itself)
I guess I like MuskyLoner for you, it seems a very good fit. LuresUpYours isn't bad either.
[:bigsmile:]

| Hey Mark,I will call you and we can hit the lake,hope the water level falls before next weekend...I will ask around and see if anyone is interested in your Tuffy,I do know a few people that might be interested,I will talk to them next week.
LOTW was relaxing.Fishing was tough.Only 3 muskies were boated,I only got 1 a 34"er,my partner caught 2,a 41 1/2 and a 47" PIG! Doug Johnson really tried to get me a muskie,he was getting hits on his line and kept handing his pole to me,of course the first 2 muskies got off,one at the boat about 36" and the other one was a nicer fish about mid 40's or so but I finally broke my streak with the 34.We also boated a few nice pike.The water was down about 3 1/2 feet,we had a snow storm on the first day,rain and/or wind the rest of the trip.I hit a few rocks,No damage to the boat,broke one trolling rod and had to cut line from the prop 2 times,one lost lure,and had to tow another boater about 9 miles to camp after he hit a submerged rock reef and broke his prop shaft and lost the prop.I also learned the the Tuffy does NOT like 3'+ waves,it is now known as the "Barge",it doesn't go over the waves,it goes through them...After all that,I had a good vacation,it was relaxing,good friends,saw lots of eagles, fed the camp deer by hand and broke my fishless streak! |

| Sounds good..
One of the guys at work lives on EC, I'll have him keep me posted on water flow/levels.
I am scheduled to guide on Sat. Possible we can get out Sunday or even one night after work. Not sure what your schedule looks like but later in the week is ok for me.
Glad you got some fish...
Takes a little playing around but usually you can get a "Mag" to behave in 3 footers, any more than that and it will be a bit bumpy and can get a little wet. Their a great boat and will fit 90%+ of your applications.
Talk to ya soon...
