[WI Women Fish]

Hello to you Mn fishing women. I tried to send a message to Tami & Lisa but it wouldn't go thru. We are some women from WI trying to find out some info about fishing in Mn. Your signature looked friendly so I was trying to drop you a note. We are headed to Northern Mn in June and wanted some tips on where to go. We will have a 28 foot RV, 3 dogs, a bird, and 2 women with float tubes and numerous rods. Finding a campsite without screaming kids nearby and on the water would be ideal. ( my kid is grown so been there done that) Any suggestions?

WI Fish Women - Barb - welcome to FM !!! And to the very cool Womens forum.

Where in northern MN are you headed? And can you get to wherever during the week, that will make a difference with campsite availability. I can give you sopme good ideas, I just need a bit more info.

I'm posting a tip from the WGTG.......the bobber goes below the stop......

[Lisa Almquist]

Sweet tip teresa!!!

[teresa]

thought you'd appreciate that one....lol. I'm laughing with you Lisa....

[Lisa Almquist]

Of course!!!

I will humbly let others learn from my lack of bobber expertise! Famous Lisa quote of all time, "Does that bobber look right?"

[chaffmj]

Lisa get the wave buster bobbers by FM sponser Todays Tackle then you don't have to worry about it. We have all done it.

Chaff

[Lisa Almquist]

Wave Busters huh? I don't know if they could EVER make bobbers that I CAN'T somehow screw up!!

[Sandmannd]

Ha, that's OK Lisa, always good for a laught. I till have a hard time putting snagless weights on my line the right way.

[Lisa Almquist]

Hey, Shane, that is ONE thing I did do right this weekend! Yay Lisa!!

[Sandmannd]

Well, you're one up on me then.

[Iambjm]

Just remember this chant Lisa

stop-bead-bobber

stop-bead-bobber

[Jim Almquist]

And if you Lindy rig a lot it is

Sinker-bead-swivel -- Sinker-bead-swivel

And if you want to make it adjustable

Sinker-bead-knot swivel -- Sinker-bead-knot-swivel

Now you know why people like to jig fish so much

[glenn57]

say lisa, tami its been quite a while since you have given up any of your expert fishing advice. have you run out of advice or...............dont have any more? hehehe! sorry couldnt help myself on this one.

[Gary Crichton]

I was wondering when someone was going to say something.

[reelemin]

yea I know I've kinda dropped the ball on this one.

I'll get back into the swing of things very shortly.

We can always count on you 2 to keep us in shape -

Maybe the could do an article on where and how to get avatars.

[glenn57]

that would be ok by me. they would have to do it real slooowww so i could grasp it. tami somebody has to keep an eye on you two once in a while. hehehe. and as long as they are doing the clinic on avatars include the smiley faces, i cant get them down either and havent made my wife figure it out yet to show me.

[Lisa Almquist]

Here's how you get smiley's:

1) Click reply to a post. Don't click Quick reply because then the smileys don't show up in that mode.

2)There is a panel of squares above the box you type in. Click on the square that has the yellow smiley face.

3)When the smiley face box opens up, click on the one you want. (when replying to me personally, please DON'T click on the mad face one! Just Kidding!! )

5)You're smiley will show up in your post then. You can also Click the Preview Post button below this box to see your smiley with your post to make sure they're showing up too. Here are a list of smileys that are available:

EEK! Yikes!

tired

sleep

sick

crying guy

wink

big grin smile

don't understand or confused

smirk

shocked, or "oh no you just didn't post that!"

laughing

crazy

blushing, embarrassed

sad, frown

just a nice smile, happy

cool little dude

mad

whistling guy

Well, that's my interpretation anyway!

[Lisa Almquist]

Here's how you post avatars:

1) You need to sign up with a photo hosting site like Flickr or photobucket.

2) Once you chose a picture as your avatar, you can copy that picture to the desktop of your computer. I right click the image and then chose Save Picture As. I click Save in: Desktop.

3) You go into Photobucket and select download pictures. You can browse from there to locate your picture

on your computer. I choose browse desktop and and then I open that picture to download it onto Photo-

bucket. Press download.

4) It should now show up in your album.

5) I chose the direct link option. Click on that address. It is copied then.

6) Then you go back to FM.com and choose My Stuff at the top of the forums.

7) Chose Profile.

8) Scroll down to the bottom of your profile and click the circle that says, URL to your avatar.

9) Right click to paste the address to your new avatar picture.

10) Click submit. You should be good to go!

That's how I do my avatars. Works well for me!

[UdeLakeTom]

See how nice they are to us!!!

[glenn57]
