Hey Rost

[Skis]

Wondering if the bite on Madison is worth the drive up for the day on Saturday. If the weather cooperates, I need to go fishing. It's been 6 weeks

Thanks bud.

Hey Skis,

I honestly don't know! I have been wrapped up in the hunting so much lately that I haven't even been paying attention. I did hear the perch are biting up on Thompson at the barber shop today. He really didn't have any details though. Good luck wherever you go! I will be in Akeny IA this weekend!

Rost,

What are you doing in Ankeny this weekend. Are you affiliated with the band? If so, good luck.

I also have a question.

I hunt pheasants in SD several times a year. I usually buy two licences, which are good for 4 different 5 day hunts.

This I understand.

I recently purchased 3 - 1 day hunts at a pay to play ranch at a cancer benefit last week. It is my understanding that I can either buy the game farm license, which is good for the whole year, or I can use my state issued license to hunt at the pay to play.

My question is.....

if I have a state issued pheasant license, can I use it at the game farm on a day other than when my 5 day pheasant license is activated, or do I have to hunt at the pay to hunt place while my state license is active?

RedDog-

Sorry, but I have Nooooo clue!

That is a question for a CO.

[reddog]

OK, I'll ask about it.

SKIS. Where did you end up going fishin at?

[Skis]

I didn't. Glad I didn't either since the rain started sooner than the weather forecasters were predicting.

Group of us from Rock Valley are hoping to make a trip to Pierre (possibly) either next weekend or the first weekend in November. If the weather breaks before that, I may go before that as well. I've got vacation days to use or I lose them

Been out at all, Red?

Took my boat to the cabin on the 29th of Sept and fished Sharpe smallies for 3 days. Wind was atrocious. Typically, I dont wear a pfd, but I fished two days with it strapped on tight.

Broke the windshield off the dash, for crying out loud

Went to Case on Saturday evening when I was there and they have it drawn way, way down. About as bad as I have ever seen it.

They smashed the eyes in a tournament here over the weekend. 35 limits, with several big fish. Check the report in Fishing the midwest (wc) if you get a chance.

Gearing up for birds, then deer, then back at the eyes.

Good luck if you go.
