I like NHSA idea... fair for single fisherman (who has a long travel) and it won't destroy the fishing economy at lakes region... and fair for larger boats with 3 or 4 guys onboard also.. if someone buys a license they should be able to fish 1 rod regardless.

HI John I might be interested in the 2 lead core fishing combo's you have. I'm looking for 2 with line counter reels for my 14 foot Lund boat. Can you tell me what type they are and how much you want for them. I was at the gathering also in Belmont when you won all that stuff your a lucky guy by the looks. Let me know how much you want for both combo's. Tom

Not sure what they are, yet I'll get back you after I check em out, they were wrapped in plastic.

"Better to be lucky than good", that saying goes a long way in life.

I had bought 2 tickets for a friend and a guy gave me 4 more, I wrote the names (glad I did) on the back and one of mine won.

Big John

They are Eagel Claw 8.5 foot medium action rods 8 to 10 lb test, Reels are new Eagle Claw JC600-30d, will hold 10 colors of lead core, there is no lead on them, sorry my mistake. .

It's for a good cause, after Tom Colvin has the first right to refusal, the 1st 100.00 takes the both of them.

Travis, please take the LCI entry fee money and give it to the Kyle Memorial fund, thanks. I can't possibly make it so put it to a good cause.

Big John

How much do you want for both of them John and are they line counter reels

Yes, they are line counter reels, 100.00 takes them, yo have first dibs. I gave a description above in another post.

Way out on the Limb Ilucas, but you bring up a good point, what's good for the goose, etc. SEND AN E MAIL TO THE DIRECTOR.

Big John

OK I'll takem for $100 John where do you live and are you going fishing up to WINNI on Thursday. Where would you like me to pick them up. I live in Salem, NH.

Just seems to me the 1 line proposal is only going half way if it is only for the open water season. Why not go all the way and propose it for the hard water season also?

HI John how much do you want for both and are both counter reels

I know this might ruffle a few feathers and I WILL email or write my suggestion to fish game.
First off I do ice fish but this needs to be put out there. If the F&G is going to take the 2 open water rods away they should also take the 2 traps for ice fishing away and limit that to one also. I believe there is alot more ice fishing going on than trolling. How can the Rotary ice derby go UNMENTIONED in all this???? It seems political to me, maybe not 100 percent political but somethings not even here, for it to not even be discussed. I say leave it as is, each angler 2 rods, each ice fisherman 2 traps, otherwise play the same rules. Just my .02 and yes I will send it along to F&G.

The only problem with that suggestion is that the average ice fisherman is not traveling the distance a boat in open water is, Winnipesaukee is a big lake and when I ice fish I'm covering 1 percent or less of the lake than when open water trolling.

Brian

true, but multiply that by the number of ice fishermen compared to the amount of guys trolling. Not sure on the #'s but open water trolling fishermen are definetly fewer by a large margin!

Last two rods are sold, Joe G contact me, I have some money for the Memorial. Or maybe Trv can give it to you and I'll give it to him ?

Two rods I won 100.00
LCI entry I think 40.00

140.00 for a good cause.

Big John

I'll hook you up with a big hunk of sword or tuna. Maybe I could troll with you some time this spring and I'll give it to you then. Joe

You don't have to do that, but if you insist, I prefer shrimp, lol.

I'm always looking for fishing partners on The Barge, I'll be in touch. If we can't hook up, I can send you a check for the Memorial fund.

Big John

No problem. Shrimp it is

Thank you John. That's very generous of you. You're a good man.

Does anyone have a specific email address at Fish and Game that we should write to? I want my email going to the "right person" not just any person. There must be someone in charge of organizing public response...

I'm trying to get a list, still waiting, but the Directors e mail address and a few others are below.

BE SURE TO PUT "PROPOSED SALMON LAKE RULES CHANGES" IN THE SUBJECT LINE (THIS IS A MUST ACCORDING TO THE CONTACT PAGE ON THE WEB SITE)

THERE MIGHT BE A SPECIFIC ADDRESS FOR RULE CHANGES TOO ??

A few others you can cc at the same time.
