A friend of mine use to use that guide and he does catch fish also likes the long poles.
Try Jacob Krumm park lake. Its SE of Rock Creek or Go East of Newton on I80 to the Lynnville interchange, the one just West of the Grinnell Rest stop then North about 1/2 mile. In the curve there is a gravel road take it for about 1 mile and on the left after one curve and before he next you’ll see a parking area and that’s it. Crappies,bass, BG and some nice catfish. Out from the boat ramp and to the left a ways you’ll probably see some ice holes. Try there as there’s a tree down there. Summer time its good off the dam 24-27′ out there. Gets shallower on the finger that runs West and then North.

in reply to: Filet knife #2959954::I’m on my third one. First two were American Angler. First one was very good and lasted a longtime but I don’t know how many years it was. Cord went frayed where it met the motor and I liked it so well I got another. There is another blade I found at Walmart I believe was called a Sabre blade thats made for that brand which I liked also real well and has kind of a undercut blade and is narrower. The second one didn’t last as long but not its fault because they drained the marsh and promiscuous fishing was allowed and everyone was snagging for carp and buffalo which ranged 25-35lbs and I just plain burnt the motor up. Current one is a Rapala and is very compaitable to the American Angler and has a little narrower handle but the Saber blade won’t fit it. Dislike on the American handle is quite thick even though I have big hands. Between the two brands I’d say both are excellent. I catch a lot of fish,a lot. Actually 200+ days a year ha. If there’s two models to choose from get, the better one. Oh and I do use the 110 volt version but have a converter in the truck if not around electricity. Using it will be a little different but practice makes perfect much faster when you get the hang of it and any waste will be around the ribs where theirs not much meat anyway. The other brands are probably fine also though.

in reply to: Clear lake perch #2959940in reply to: Ice early this year I hope #2959895::I fish alone so like years in the past it will probably be January before I venture out on the ice. December always has its cold spells and then melts again. Of course we can always hope. Vexilar has been charged thru the summer so I guess a few waxworms and I’ll be
ready.

in reply to: fur buyers in central iowa? #2959894in reply to: fur buyers in central iowa? #2959866::Far as I know Gronewald is the only one with a route to central Iowa. North Ia Fur out of Fredericksburg doesn’t `have a route that comes to central Ia. Believe Jim Smith out of Tama isn’t in the business anymore either. I’ve used the Gronewald when he came to Hubbard and don’t think I could prep things the way NAFT would want them. Scruf you’s and me be a dying breed.

in reply to: Complaining #2959859in reply to: henry big boy in 45 lc or 44 mag ? #2959670::I think I would have to go the 44 Mag route due to availability and punch. I’m also interested in the Big Boy and think if I had any sense would get the .44 but want to get the .38 Spl/.357. Reason being I have a couple .357 revolvers and a considertable amount of 38 Spl /357 ammo on hand

in reply to: Wolf in Tama County. #2959650in reply to: Clear lake #2959233in reply to: Complaining #2959197in reply to: Clear Lake Ice fishing #2959099::Yes watch where others cross like over the sand bar. I lived and worked in the park there when I was a young buck. The water speeds up when it goes thru the narrows so doesn’t get as thick.
I was surprised but a farm pond just outside of my town was 8-9″ today. It did have snow on it and some had melted leaving slush and water over the ice though.

in reply to: Road Hunting For PheasantsIs It Legal? #2959033::Ev I never thought of it as a coydog but it may have been. Very large coyote was caught in my beaver snare about 1 mile East and 2 1/2 North of State Center 3 years ago. So also just South of the Heartland. I referred to it as my wolf it was that large. Of course as we both know there was a pair of real wolf mix in the neihborhood that the owner would let out to graze at times.

in reply to: Public land deer #2958881::Well used trails is a good start but that sounds like you might not of scouted them out yet. When to get set up, I do it no later than 1 hour before I can shoot. Also go ahead with the attractant why not. I’ve never hunted public and have several places with two being I’m the only person allowed to hunt but the same should apply. I also hunt only late muzzle loader so less people are out. Hunting public could be a plus as if other hunters are out thy will stir up and keep the deer moving as long as your in position first.
Be careful out there and good luck.

in reply to: a cautious female #2958868in reply to: The Last of the Old Stickers #2958825::That be it Sir. I figured most would never know what it looks like. Its pretty tattered but readable. I always thought it was neet to come across one out on the lake and go over and see who it was. I gave up on the picture business.
It doesn’t give ones join date anymore but I think mine was 1/2004 and I believe you were before that.
