Location: Elgin, Illinois | I believe the article was written by Colleen Lampman... It was a very well written article on Co-angler etiquette...

| I did a search on the other site, and the link I found was to this site. But, the link no longer worked, so I would guess that Colleen will have to submit it again....which I think she should do. I don't know why that article was not posted here in the article arhives. It should have been there. ????
You're right though, it was really well written, and I think it should be required reading for anyone who thinks they want to try fishing as a Co Angler. 
Merry Christmas HG!

Location: Elgin, Illinois | At the request of several people... I have e-mailed Colleen and asked her to provide a copy to the site for re-posting. It's simply not my place to post someone else's work on this, or any other site (regardless of how much I too want it here for everyone). |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | That's not the one everyone is talking about. The one they want is written by someone named Colleen. This one is by a bass co-angler, and alot of the advice does not apply to walleye fishing. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | Dear jigger boy,
Let's meet this summer at Menominee, MI for a day, you in your boat and me in mine. We'll fish for 8 hours and see who catches more: the jigger or the troller. Just remember: trolling is life....;)
By the way, do you even know how to drive a boat forward? Aren't you one of them backtrollers???? LOL!!!

Location: Neenah, WI | On the WC site Juls posted a letter from another Pro (Pete Harsh) that every am/co should read. I'm not sure if I should transfer it here. Pete is a Pro's Pro and one of the most gracious on any tour. |

| Here ya go....Pete's Letter
It has become my good fortune to have you as a Co-Angler fishing partner. I am looking forward to our time on the water. I will give you my very best effort to make us competitive. My cell # is ###-###-####. Feel free to contact me at any time, if you have any questions or concerns.
Please review the following:
Be on time in the morning at the designated location. That is the first consideration we will give each other.
**Expect to have a good time fishing with me. You and I are now fishing partners for the day. Relax and enjoy our fishing as much as I intend to. That does not mean we won't work hard while doing so.
**I do not care to help you solve the worlds problems, your relationship problems or problems at work. Do not cloud up my head with those subjects and try to concentrate on the fishing.
**The world will not end if you make a mistake in my boat. Unlike the Pope and a few of the other Pro Walleye Fisherman, you nor I are infallible. Should a mistake happen, and it will, we will quickly move beyond it and continue to concentrate on the job at hand. (No matter who makes it.) I am not known for getting too excited in the boat.
**Bring a positive winning attitude. Do not bring a hangover. This could be one of the best days of your life. Show up sick from being hung over or intoxicated from illegal drugs and I assure you this will not be one of the best days of your life.
**Bring a WATCH. If you don't care if we get in on time, I do! Don't break my concentration by depending on me to tell you what time it is all day long. I will watch the time but you need to keep track of the time also.
**Mother Nature is not a good Momma. Expect the worst from her. If you have a tendency to get seasick take Dramamine ahead of time. Dress for the worst case scenario, by 9 a.m. it could be our reality. Bring good raingear, extra warm dry clothes including gloves. A life jacket is provided unless you want to bring your own. Bring any special lunch or beverages you require. I always have snacks in the boat too.
**We will review safety, starting and operation procedures prior to going out in the morning. I will show you how to use the radio and where emergency equipment is stowed also at that time.
**You are expected to keep all the information you learn in my boat confidential until after the tournament. If you fail to do so, you will be disqualified.
I am looking forward to fishing with you!

| Jerry,
Lets make it Houghton Mi. in late Sept. early Oct. and we might have a date!
And no, I don't backtroll much any more, but I do drop an anchor and bobber fish (precision depth control verticle jigging) all the time, and tend to have above average results doing so!! |
