[DonBo]

Hey Lisa, love the new avitar. Great fish!

[Lisa Almquist]

Hi coonchaser and Smallie! Welcome and thanks for putting your bio in here!

DonBo-thanks! It's been a tough year for me but I'm sure you've listened to my whining long enough-hopefully this ends my dry spell!!

[glenn57]

lisa, this forums got to be a record for posts and views by now, will you get a raise from fm ? this is still an awesume site to keep up with. its really bad when a person has to keep looking in on it to see if i missed anything. is that called gossip or nosey?

[Lisa Almquist]

Nah-I wouldn't call it nosey! Just curious to see what the family's been up to!

Who gets paid to chat on FM? Not I! I'm only here to make sure no one's posting things they shouldn't! Except if you really want to put your honey hole coords up glenn?

[glenn57]

honey holes, what are they? its been so long since ive been fishing i think i need to get out my how to book again. although 10 days to perch fishing on winnie and who knows where else up there.

[merc]

Glenn, what are you doing hanging out on the womans forum? Oh, wait a second, nevermind!!

[reelemin]

[fish-n-fool]

Hey-- never did include my name in my first post... (pg 39)

Name is Janeen, live in Fargo, married with 1-20 yr old

daughter & 2 stepsons. (and yes...I am noticing a lot of the guys enjoy this post as well as the females... Entertainment for

and helpful hints for everyone....)

[Lisa Almquist]

It's nice to see other ladies sharing here on Fishing Minnesota! Your LOW trip is right around the corner-pack ME in a dufflebag too?? I haven't been able to get up there this year!

[fish-n-fool]

We'll see if we can fit you in (gotta have room the the beer & Hot 100 first...) Hopefully it won't be -40 wind chill like it was last time we were up there... The Hot 100 & Blackhaus didn't last long... The guys were asking me 'who's great idea it was to be out here in that weather' Had it admit it... it was mine.....but at least we caught a couple keepers (and a burbot- but that doesn't count)

[Lisa Almquist]

Fish or no fish, you're gonna have a blast Janeen! I prefer ButterShots...mmmmmm....

We'll be laker fishing so I hope it warms up a little bit too!

[Rather_B_Fishing]

I figured I'd pop in and post my bio here.

My name is Bill. I am a 43 year old married white male. I have a 5 year old son and a 16 year old step daughter.

I am very much into fishing and mostly fish Mille Lacs. But I also have a few other lakes I hit for nice bluegills, crappies, bass and northerns.

Just last year I also took up deer hunting with a bow. I haven't got one yet but saw a few big bucks just out of range. So hopefully this year I'll get one.

I am a Mechanical Engineer. My true passions are spending time with my son and spending time outdoors. Pretty soon I will be taking my son with me more and more fishing. He has already been out with me several times to Mille Lacs and once to LOW. He caught several perch up to 12" on MIlle Lacs. I also look forward to taking him hunting after he becomes a teenager.

I grew up in Chicago, and I love the White Sox, Bears and Bulls.

That's my story........

[Sandmannd]

Nice ta meet you Bill and welcome to FM.

[DonBo]

Hey Bill, I'll try not to hold that White Sox thing against you.

Go Twins!

[Lisa Almquist]

Hey Bill-Welcome to Fishing Minnesota! I've never fished Mille Lacs! We fish Winni alot though. That's neat your 5 year old is following in your footsteps. Thanks for putting your bio in!

[Wade Joseph]

Well, I been reading this for awhile and I figured its time to drop in my .02.

Name is the same as my screen name, I also answer to "fishahollik" as thats on my boat and bug deflector on my f150. I am married (2nd time)to a great gal named Jackie who is only 15 years younger than me. She enjoys going to VNP with me, but she preffers relaxing in the boat over the fishing part. We both enjoy the camping and the solitude of VNP.

I Was born in Charleston SC (Dad was in the Navy) Grew up all over. We moved every 3-4 years until I was 13 and my dad retired from the Navy at which time we moved to Lakeville, mn. We lived there for a year, then moved to DeSoto, WI where I went to HS. Thats where I call "Home" as its where I lived for the longest period of time in my life. I graduated in 1982 from DHS and joined the Navy myself. I was able to see a bunch of the world and managed to drag some lures around the ocean and fresh water from MS to FL, SC, VA, CT, RI. I have also fished in IL, MI, NY, TN, WI, MN and Canada. I have fished the ocean around Newfoundland, Cuba, St Thomas VI, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Greece, Isreal, Italy, Peru, Columbia, Chile, Honduras, Venezuala, Panama (Both atlantic and pacific side) and many thousnads miles of the Atlantic Ocean. I fished above the artic circle and within 30 miles of the ant-arctic circle.

I retired from the Navy in 2002 and moved back to Lacrosse, WI. I started working for a security company and after 2 years they asked me to move to the Duluth office. Since I had spent three years in Duluth as a Navy recruiter from 88-91 I said SURE!. I currently live in South Range WI. I have been fishing since I was 3, My dad took me hunting when I was 5. Been doing both ever since. I could get alot more fishing done if it wasn't for work. Soon as I win the lottery there won't be a safe place on earth for any fish to go.

I have 4 kids (that I know of) My Oldest Daughter is 20, my youngest daughter is 5 months. My Oldest Son is 17, my youngest is 5. The Boys love to hunt and fish, my youngest daughter will get her first taste of it next summer. I have a 2 year old Black Lab named Reload. I have been known to drink a beer or twelve, I also enjoy cooking and love to cook over an open fire or on the grill.

I could go on, but this is long enough. I throw some pics in after this posts.

[Wade Joseph]

Now for the pics

[Sandmannd]

Nice bio Wade, great pictures as well. I love the cover you have on your boat, where'd ya get that?

[Wade Joseph]

It was here at the house when I bought the place. They did have similar ones at Sams club with peaked roof about a year ago.

[UdeLakeTom]

When asked what a man has done in his life, I can say I WAS IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY" John F Kennedy ..

Great signature....Nice pictures too.

[Lisa Almquist]

What a full life Wade! Dumb question alert....what's VNP?

[boatfixer]

Voyagers National Park?

[Wade Joseph]

The only dumb question is the one you do not ask. If you do not ask, you do not learn. Yes, its Voyagers Nat'l Park. I make a trip every year for past 4 years to Sandpoint/Namakan lakes to camp and fish for a week.

[Cicada]

Real name is Greg.

Age, 46 (don't act nearly that old).

Single, the perfect woman just hasn't found me yet. Hmm, relatives don't think that's funny either.

Screen name came from my favorite winter fishing lure. Drives my cousin nuts that I catch fish on it so I used the name to irratate him.

Known for my dry, quick, and self depricating sense of humor.

Hobbies include camping, golf, photography, baseball (only as a fan these days), and of course, fishing.

Born near Rothsay MN, grew up in Cooperstown, ND, college at Mary College (renamed the University of Mary after they got all my money) in Bismarck, ND, currently reside in Detroit Lakes, MN.

Work for Amish Furniture of Detroit Lakes for the past few years.

Geez, I probably could copy and paste this on Match.com. Might even get a hit as long as I don't post a picture. (see self depricating comment above)

I do not and never have owned a 20" box fan.

Killed a couple of hours at work reading this post yesterday. Shhh, don't tell the boss. One of the most interesting posts I've seen on this site.
