Hey Larry:
I would come up today but I have to go visit my mom for New Years. She has been stuck out there all week with all this snow. And today the Boilers Play Arizona State in one of the Bowl Games. I have to see my boilers play for the last time. Kyle Orton is finally healthy. When Purdue was ranked #5 in the Nation and Kyle was in the running for the Heisman Trophy he was injured and hurt his hip. He lost all his moblity and it not only effected his running but his passing as well. So he's back in 100% good health now and has plenty of rest. It should be a good game to watch as both teams are high scoring teams. It will be much like the Indianapolis Colts game last week against the Drew Brees San Diego Chargers. Now that was one of the best games I have seen in a very long time.
I hope you catch a bunch. I wish I could go fishing today. Maybe if it stays warm I can get my door fixed on my car and then go to Patoka or Lynville to try my luck.
I still can't fish my local Fish and Wildlife area yet. It won't be opened up to fishing until after Jan 21. And that is what they (IN DNR) told me back at the end of Nov. I just picked up a copy of the Waterfowl regulations and it shows that there is still some goose hunting going on after Jan 21st in the Ohio River Zone. Not sure if the DNR will close Bluegrass F&W Area for that late goose season or not. I will have to call them and find out. Yesterday I was tempted to sneak over there to Otter Pit and launch my boat. I think that I will take some time this week to try and find the leak in my live well and get it fixed. It's driving me crazy as every time I use that thing water leaks out onto the carpetted flooing and then builds up in the bottom of the boat. I need to find that leak and get it fixed. I think it's in the piping where the water is pumped to the live well. It only leaks when the pump is turned on. So it must be a pressure leak in the hose or the fittings somewhere up by the livewell.
Let me know if those crappie are still there. I am thinking that they will be out in deeper water by the river channel. I bet that if we could see though the water that we would find the biggest slabs in the river channel under the cut in the outside bend in the river channel. I need to graph that area better to see if there is brush out on the top of that dropoff by the river channel.
