[A.W.Wolfram]

Picked me up a ugly stick tonight.

My wife said the same thing the other night.........What did she mean?

[Gordie]

Ace is your uglystick a spinning or baitcasting? I've got a spinning and I love it.

Can anyone give insight on why this cat was bleeding so.

[AceintheHole]

I got a 7' med. It's the catfish one with the glow tip and guides. Spinning. I had to replace my channel cat rod. I didn't have to I just wanted to. Almost picked up a very very nice St Croix but at 119.99 it's a wee bit out of my price range

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ya the wants and needs of cattin. Dangerous game we play here.

[AceintheHole]

How we lookin for Saturday? I'll be there for sure.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Hmm still not sure. I am on he schedule till 2200 that day but I may be able to come out after work.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

How late are you going to stay out. Also where are ya going to be?

[AceintheHole]

Sorry not making out tonight. I got one of those driving things last night were they tell you that you had to much to drink. Not a good start to my cattin season

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

LOL Ya I saw that I drove up and down Black Dog. Pulled up on some guy, got out walked over to the river and the guy was like a deer in head light. So ya not you, not sure what he was doing lol ( nothing good I'm sure. )

So where did ya get nailed at, and hopefully they didn't take it for a year

[Gordie]

thats sucs ace I got one of those three yrs ago and finnally just got my DL back in January well good luck and if you need a ride to the riv let me know I'll make something workout

[AceintheHole]

90 days. It's my first one so I should be able to get away with little trouble. Still not cheap to get it back about 800.00. Thanks elwood I might have to take you on that one day. Not a good way to start a cattin season but lesson learned.

[Gordie]

yea I guess that wasnt my first one but finally learned that lesson. besides I'm more addicted to fishing and hunting that the reason I got the offence last time.

90 days would have been a walk in the park compared to three years hope it goes fast enough for you Ace. give me a call if you need anything. 763-807-0964

[AceintheHole]

Thanks man. I'll give ya call in a few weeks see if ya want come down for a little cattin. I can live 90 days problem is that it's right thru prime Flathead time

[hanson]

If its your 1st one... 90 days if you plead not guilty, 30 days (I believe) if you plead guilty. Ends up being a little bit longer as there is a waiting period before they take your license.

There will be 2 cases against you, one is criminal and the other is civil. The civil case is your driver's license. If you hire a lawyer and plead not guilty or attempt to plea bargain it down, you'll get the 90 days on your drivers license.

From my very long day in court watching everyone else's DWI cases, unless you have a very good feeling you can win, its not worth hiring a lawyer and fighting it. Will cost you much more money in the longhaul. Best case scenario fighting the charge will be a Careless Driving under the Influence, you'll still lose your license for 90 days but won't have a DWI on your record. I don't believe a Careless under the Influence is an aggravating factor if you happen to get #2 some day.

Just some food for thought.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ya Ace if you ever decide you want to go out just let me know. Being that we live so close its not any hassle to pop over and pick you up. 952-688-1389 Keven

[AceintheHole]

I'm just going to court and and taking what they give me. I'm guily I don't need a lawyer to tell me that. Being it's the first one I'm not worried. If I can get it down to reckless driving that would be better. Just go in a take it like a man. I still have till the end of the week before I can't drive. I told the wife I am going out fishing sometime this week if your interested. Maybe Wed. or THursday.

[hanson]

Ace-

Not sure what your BAC was (and no need to supply that info either) but if you were between .08 and .10, you have a good chance of pleaing that down even without a lawyer. Anything above that, probably not.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ace,

Just let meknow when your thinking. Hopefully I will be able to make it out one more time before I leave for Idaho. I'm off at 1830 wed and 1700thurs fri sat

[AceintheHole]

.13, if it was a .16 or higher I would still be in there waiting to see the judge. There were a few people in there that refused to test (no smart at all) They told me it would be a Misdimeaner. I can deal with that. Wed. would be fine I just have to clear it with the boss. I told her I was going sometime this week so it should not be a problem. 65 and sunny Wed. On the plus side I told the wife she better get ready for some cattin cause she's coming with me we things start to heat up and the flats are biting. She's looking forward to it. Thanks for your support guys your the best. Forgot to turn my head lights on right away when I left thats why they pulled me over. They didn't tow my van they let my wife come pick it up being I was only 1 block from home

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

Ok Wednesday day sounds like a plan. The wife says "whatever" so that means I'm going. What time are you thinking. I have some chicken liver and minced garlic rotting outside for the last three or four days. Nasty but good.

[DTro]

Bummer Ace, that sucks. So you must have been really close to home from where you started huh?

Seems like those are the worst ones.

You seem to be taking it well. That's good. I would guess that everyone involved (cop, judge etc) appreciates that.
