Laughed at. Unless you just like conversing with nitwits take the college football and Chicago Bears newsgroups out of your replies. Yeah, I guess I know, but sometimes I can't help myself. I've talked with too many people that are actually as ignorant as these twits, and occasionally they'll actually learn something. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Jon The Great Lakes are comprised of Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Superior. Unless you're talking about some different "Great Lakes," all of them are FRESHWATER lakes. This can't be right. I was reading about how the Great Lakes are getting clogged with exotic mussels. Mussels are sal****er molluscs. I remember cleaning them off our boat as a kid. Yes, actually it can be right. Many of the exotic species that have been introduced into the Great Lakes have been brought in via ballast water in cargo ships that come in from the ocean via the St. Lawrence Seaway. This ballast water gets pumped out to allow the ships to ride higher for the shallower water and with the water as it's pumped out, come things like zebra mussels, gobies and others. There are many species that can survive/thrive in both salt and freshwater, and salmon, rainbow trout (steelhead), zebra mussels, and gobies are examples of such. I live within two hours of both Lake Michigan and Lake Superior and know first hand that these are freshwater lakes, although I also learned in grade school geography class that these are freshwater. Both lakes are home to walleye, northern pike, muskies, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, lake trout, whitefish, yellow perch and other species of fish that can only survive in freshwater. A simple search on the term "freshwater mussel" will bring up huge amounts of data explaining that there are over 300 types of freshwater mussels and there are some species that can live in both salt or freshwater. An equally simple search on "The Great Lakes" will once again bring up numerous links. One of the is Wikipedia, which the first two sentences state, "The Laurentian Great Lakes are a chain of freshwater lakes located in eastern North America, on the Canada-United States border. Consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron (or Michigan-Huron), Erie, and Ontario, they form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth. They are sometimes referred to as inland seas or Canada and the United States' Third Coast." -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com Never has one's sig file been so appropriez T |

Steve, Please don't feed the flamers!!!
"Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "Jon Enslin" wrote in message SNIP My god what a downer you guys are. What's wrong with throwing down a few cold ones while boating around some? Wait...let me guess...your'e some of those non-wake kind of guys huh? Jon Actually no, and anyone that knows me knows I'm probably the furthest from a "non-wake kind of guy." I love high performance bass boats and love to go balls out across a lake at 80 mph. I don't even mind someone having "a cold one or two" during a day. I just get my hackles up at people that don't see a problem with slamming down a bunch of alcohol and then getting behind the wheel of of a boat. Until you've pulled a mangled body from a lake, you'll probably never understand my feelings towards those that drink and drive a boat. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
