Location: Appleton, WI | Hopefully Slamr, Shep, or someone that has fished with Slamr can help me out with this one.ha,ha,ha...Ahhh wait this is no laughing manner. Well this year has been tough at best for me(polar opposite of my brother). I've had my share of missed fished and lost fished on my Canada trip. It's been a struggle all year for me to get fish in the boat(at least some good ones). I must have done something wrong earlier this year breaking in the new boat. I'm starting to think that the Ranger is only good for catching bass. Heck my partner and I popped 3 bass over 19" this past weekend while targeting skies at the Musky Alliance tournament this past weekend. The northern pike also have been sliming the boat pretty well also...I guess I can attribute that to the first fish that spewed the slime in the boat was a Sturgeon Bay snot rocket.
My question is :What technique or method must I perform to eliminate the bad mojo that's happen to me?
catch ya later,

| Bad mojo,
I have a little insight into this.
The first trick is to TAKE CREDIT FOR THE SUCCESS OF OTHERS. For example, I didn't boat a muskie until October last year, but I did perform net duties for Jason Smith at the Cass Lake outing, also for Treat Daddy (Shawn Kellet) in ealry October on Lake Minnetonka.
Next, spend lots of money on gear, and blame your bad mojo on the old gear.
If you get into October like I did, then as a last resort force your pals to go out even on the coldest snowy day, even if you have to break ice to get the boat on the lake.
It worked for me, I finally got a (small) muskie on the last day, in the last hour of last season.
Good luck,
Papa Joe

| Uh oh. Sorry to say, you have, maybe, inadvertantly offended the Spirits Of The Waters. If this is so, you'll have to make restitution. Trust me, I know about these things. Carefully follow these steps, and you'll be back in your groove in no time...
1. Read the instructions below and prepare the few necessary materials.
2. Get a copy of the CD "Yellow Moon" by the Neville Brothers. Que it up to play the following songs in the following order: 1) Healing Chant 2) A Change is Gonna Come and 3) Voo Doo.
3. Get out on the water. Quiet is better than nosiy, morning is the best.
4. While Healing Chant is playing, give some sort of a sacrafice to the Spitits Of The Water. Like pour some beer or pop in the lake, just a little is enough. Say something along the lines of, "Oh Great Spitits Of The Waters, it's me, Krappie. Here is some beer/pop for you to show I am sorry you are angry with me. I am so very wearly of my slump. Please show me favor and let me catch some more muskies."
5. While A Change is Gonna Come is playing, say to the Spirits of the Waters, "Aaron Neville's voice is like a Heath Bar. You either love him or you hate him, eh?" This will remind the Spirits that you've just asked for a favor, you're looking for a "change" in your fishing. And you're safe regardless if the Spirits either hate or like Aaron Neville's voice, the Spirits must agree with you. The Spirits will consider you crafty, and take a liking to you in spite of themsleves.
6. While Voo Doo is playing, turn up the volume a bit and pull a favorite jerk bait to the rthym of the song. The Spirits won't be able to help but tap their toes along with the song, they'll smile, glance at their watchs, and then throw some positive MoJO your way as they move on to more pressing business.
There. That's it. Works every time. |

Location: Appleton, WI | Ranger I'm printing out those instructions right now and I'm going to follow them to the T. I just hope no one sees me while I'm performing the ritual. Thanks a ton for secret recipe.
Hey Papa Joe, I was able to get my buddy into some nice fish in Canada...but I don't know if that counts for the Sconie fish. It seems the opposite effect has happen to me. One little scheister is all I have to show. I'll keep trying though.
catch ya later,
Krappie

Location: Racine, Wi | 1. Follow Rangers detailed instructions.
2. Change your name from Krappie to Man I love to do shots of musky slime.
3. Take a bath in fresh cabbage, and rub carp on your forehead.
That is the guaranteeeeeeed solution to breaking the jinx.
If all else fails.
Change your fishing hat.
Good lungen

| Krappie, I think another trip with Jason and me to the Bay Of Pigs is in order! Let's plan it, and just that it is planned will be enough.
You could revert to the Shady routine. Wet the net as soon as you get on the water. And then scour the shoreline and or sky for a Blue Heron, and a Bald Eagle. Once those 3 objectives are accomplished, you should soon be on your way to scoredom. I have also added a few coins as an offering to the muskie gods. Shiny dimes work great.
Good luck, and get out there and score.
PS. Fabreze works wonders for the Slamr residual odor! |

Location: Appleton, WI | Hey guys I'm going to give all the suggestions a shot. Heck,I'll have sooo much mojo flowing that Auston Powers will be jealous. I've been contemplating to changing my nickname from Krappie to something more muskie sounding...How about Kopskie? That should at least win me some favor.
Sponge how the heck do you think of that stuff!!!!LOL Might have a hard time finding a Yak though. I pound some cokes and candy bars for ya though.
Shep, I think a trip with you and Jason this coming fall is in order. That should no doubt help the cause. I'm thinking I may get into a couple slimers during that time. If I don't, than this case of Jinxitis is indeed really bad.
catch ya later,

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Take Slamr fishing. You will catch fish. Sponger and Ranger may not have your absolute best interest in mind, they COULD be conspiring to see who can get you to do the weirdest stuff. On second thought DO listen to Ranger and Sponger, and post the pictures from that trip, you probably will slay 'em. Where on God's Earth would one get a Burle Ives Cardboard Cutout? Would one of that Spears chick get the job done, Sponger? |

Location: Black Creek, WI | Krappie,
You better hope this is a JINX and not a CURSE (ha ha)!!!!!!!
If it is a Jinx.... it will pass soon enough.
If it is a Curse.... I'd be interested in buying your boat (heh heh).
Don't worry buddy, just think of the satisfaction you will get when you pass the Jinx to your bro (hee hee). Just make sure you don't give it to ME!!
There is plenty of time yet this season to turn things around...

| Cardboard Burls are hard to come by Stever, but for the peep who desires to rid him/herself of the feeshing curse bad enough, they can be had; a certain five and dime store here produces them every 2 years. the Spears poster will only aggravate the situation, and perhaps even imprison poor Krappie permanently in the dreaded Pepsi Generation... |

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Why do curses and jinxes always get blamed on ME? Ok, so I cursed a dozen or so people last year, but that was last year! This year I have a jinx on the new boat so bad that GAR are following to the boat instead of muskies. It's SO BAD that I am going to be travelling 16 hours each way to Little Vermillion in Ontario (strictly action waters) just to boat some kind of muskies. If I spend 4 days on action waters, and still can't boat a muskie, I will be stopping on Foster Lane in Rhinelander and dropping the boat off at the Patriot depot there.

| Oh sure, you back out of the Sabaskong outing, and then tell us you're going to Vermillion? A pox on you, Slamr!! That skunk is going to be in your boat a lot longer than it was in mine last year! You have angered the muskie gods, and their rath will be with you for a long time, I fear. Better start looking for Burle, and soon!
I still hate ya, man! |

| Krappie...I still have your cooler in my garage...Maybe that was your good luck charm????
I suggest you come over get your cooler, I will fill it up with "refreshments" and we will go out and knock the crap of the muskies.
Just an idea!

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Do the following:
1. Give your younger and better looking bro all your crankbaits! If not done within 7 days of the next new moon your jinx will become a retched curse that will haunt you for the next year to come.
2. Repeat step 1, but with all the bull dawgs, slammer drop bellies, and undertakers you have.
3. Put 50 cents into a trinket machine, and make sure you get a prize out! If no prize continue plugging in money till you get something.
4. Next time on the water sacrafice at least one cigar to the fishing gods. This may be a tough one for you, but it needs to be done.
5. Listen to your younger and wiser younger bro! |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | Take it from me, one of the few people who have had the opportunity to be cursed multiple times in one year by the master of the maloik, Slamr. Do what Worrall suggests, cancel out your negative with another greater negative...go fishing with Slamr. |

| Travis just found the reason; 2 years ago we took our last 2 quarters...put them in the "glass globed quarter sucker", seeking wealth and a way out...when the handle twisted, all 5 sets of eyes were focused on the prize of a life time...as the lid to the trinket slot slowly opened, I daggone nigh passed out from excitement...imagine our shame and sadness as the little plastic prize holder slowly rolled out onto Travis' palm, not only empty, but the daggone lid was cracked; I've been around a good while, and no doubt sunk a small fortune into these cheap trinket machines trying to get an engagement ring in me youth for me future bride, but NEVER did I get an empty broken one...if I remember correctly, Krappie cursed the quarters, us, the machine, the folks in the eatery, the town, county and state...that night it got down to 14 degrees, snowed, Travis lost a bait, Krappie sacrificed a spinnerbait, I got soaking wet, and GUESS WHAT--NO FEESH! This bizzare happening occured at Cave Run 2 years ago, and no doubt plays a major part in todays problem...the only way to break the curse is to re-live the entire weekend once again under identical circumstances...
***Sheps Badger hat must be turned inside out, and placed over the glass globe and left overnight....
