<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="Soo 6604"] <P>Yesturday, the Appleton Wi area had a high of 77 degrees. Great day for fishing and train watching. My usual fishing/train watching site, I figured, was going to be packed with fisherman due to the walleyes making their trip back to Lake Winnebago from spawning (literally in places you can hop from boat to boat from one shore to the other). My usual spot is Gills Landing just outside of Weyauwega Wi on the CN's Superior Sub (Neenah-Superior) on the Wolf River. My other spot is the draw bridge in Oshkosh Wi on the CN's Neenah Sub (Fond du Lac-Neenah) about halfway between Neenah and Fond du Lac Wi. Sometimes the fishing isnt that great (many skunks in Oshkosh) but hey, I'm outside, fishing and watching trains. Nothing better than that.</P> <P>My question is to those that fish and watch trains: Where is your favotire fishing/train watching spot?</P> <P>Paul</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Ahhhh, the college memories! Crankin' Motley Crue in the dorms while gettin' ready to hit the strip. Then it's over to <EM>Kelly's</EM> as the first stop for a pitcher, then on to either <EM>The Whiskey Run</EM> or <EM>The Horse's A**</EM> once we figured the females were sufficiently alcoholed to make me and my buddies look human. Or maybe we'd head downtown to <EM>Mable Murphy's</EM> along the old SOO main if we wanted a more "upscale" atmosphere, and to get turned-down by a higher-class of bimbo. Then it was the long stagger back to the dorms with a stop at <EM>Mars' Hamburgers</EM> on the way to cure the gin & tonic-induced munchies. How I do feel old nowadays.</P> <P>Back to the point: Even though I don't fish, I have been to Pewaukee Lake on the old MILW main northwest of Milwaukee (now CP) where numerous advertising photos were taken of Hiawatha service to the Twin Cities. It's still a great spot for photography.</P>
