Caught him sleeping on a few lots and landed some deals. But he wasn't afraid to go over the underbid, so once he showed up, I said f it.

I bumped heads with him a few times over there when I was quite active a few years back. Beat him to the bubble point now and again on a certain lots, which in retrospect, he probably wasn't THAT keen on winning.

That the one on the billboards on 94? Been tempted to stop there, but never have.

Don't know, they have two shpos, Mich City and Hobart, IN. The Mich City one is just a little old wood frame house across from the Outlet Center, very cramped but decent selection. The pic of the Hobart shpo looks to be new and larger, imo.

furrrealz... plus I'd expect you to come up with a picture of something better than a filthy pickerel...

I didn't think anyone who wasn't from the northeast knew what a pickerel was... but that looks a bit big, prolly a pike or muskie.

My son actually caught it off the dock while fishing for bass
On a silver minnow.
When he saw it, he got scared. He was 11 yo. I landed it for him but he wouldn't pose for a photo, so I did. It his catch not mine. It is a 52" muskie. I got inspired when I saw your avatar. He and I still fish for bass mainly.

I've always used pike and pickerel interchangeably... so maybe you're right about people not from the northeast... what's a pickerel then? Muskee was my second guess....

Edit: i just refreshed my mind via Wikipedia... i did know the difference, just been awhile since i referenced either fish...

What kind of fish is that in bucketgrandpas avatar?

In upper midwest, I didn't know any better, either. Northern pike, Northern, Pike....all interchangeable names for the same fish. When I got to VA and caught my first pickerels, I thought they looked like the hammer-handles of my youth and called them pike....I've been reminded a number of times that the slimy snakes out here are pickerel...no redeeming value, either since they don't grow to trophy Northern size...just toothy, slimy snakes that will bite off your fluoro

I thought you were gone for good.... nice catch, especially for an 11yo... always nice to catch something you're not fishing for too.... not sure why, but it is...

Yep... pickerel are same family, just don't get as big as pike or muskie. They'll eat whatever you use for largemouth bass, be it worms, minnows, or lures. They fight hard, too. Not as easy to unhook... lotsa teeth.

Isn't a pickerel a little flute?
The pike is RT 90, it's a toll road in MA.
And Muskie was a senator from Maine.

And I'm from the northeast, so there!

I am a newbie here on this site.
Has anyone noticed that mm from LaPorts Indiana buys
Thousands of dollars on cigars her per week?
They are obviously a shop by south bend. They are most
Likely skirting tobacco tax buy buying
Here. I've counted a couple of thousand dollars on bid today
Alone. I find it hard to believe they buy for personal
Consumption. What is the purchasing policy on cigarbid
On this? Does anyone know.
Who cares?

Indeed, WTF are you talking about? And why would anyone care about the amount of cigars purchased by someone else? 🌫

Or if the weather will be perfect for my trip to the Coronado Islands on Saturday!

Opel, you gotta get down here for one of these trips. You, me, and Delta1 could have a great time... now that I am familiar with how to do the proper paperwork. Need a passport, tho...

I'm in!! I've got friends and family i haven't seen in awhile down in LA... I'll have to plan a visit to them around a fishing trip, for sure...

What are you throwing on these trips? Is it bottom fishing or surface irons?

On a side note, have you looked at how long a trip to Catalina would be for you, or if it's even feasible? I haven't made the SD to Catalina trip since i was a boy so i really don't remember what it's like..
