73 Is Just the Beginning — May 21, 2007 What a fun week and an eye opening one, as well.  In my investment days, I was always amazed by the mental acuity and acumen of a few of our, well let’s say, seniors.  I would sit down with a few of my clients in the 70...

PUCKER FACTOR…HIGH — August 6, 2007 As I write this, the adrenal glands are pumping, eyes are dilating, and my heart is pounding.  After of month of getting life insurances, accidental death and dismemberment policies renewed, and good old fashioned blood...

Re: First Timer Goes to Port Mansfield Putawaywet's Advice is spot on. I always recommend newbies to learn the East Cut and the North Shoreline first.  Fewer obstacles, more traffic (for breakdowns and possible trouble), and a lot easier to learn, not to mention...

Re: West Shoreline Pretty clean going north.  Running the east facing sout spoils still has a few hiding obstructions.

Re: Where To Start Reel Deal Don't ya hate fishing?  First answer, towas I fishing too fast?  Maybe, maybe not.  Most likely, you were anticipating and setting the hook before you felt the weight of the fish.  Also, if you find you are missing quite a few fish on...
