I'm still playing phone tag with Claude Holcombe. I'm going down to Hudson on Sun (supposed to rain on Sat) I'm trying to get some things straight. ! Was the sign at Diane ripped off? If so I can give him one for there. 2. Survey cards, can I just give them to Claude and tell him to just put in 10 to 15 when it gets low? I will tell Claude these are really nice signs and no cheap date and they need to be bolted down or put someplace where they can't take them
Meet park ranger at Hudson today took the signs but he wouldn't take the survey box. He asked me who decided this was to be moved from Bellville to Hudson, I said I don't know. He has to clear this with his boss Jim O'Brien, don't know who that is. He took a few of the card and said he doesn't know who Kregg Smith is, the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Also a new kid working down there is from Devils Lake and he's doing a different kind of survey thing. I was not to happy after trashing my net, didn't say anything, but he new by my expression. Also told him the guy's are going to let me know if a sign is neede at Diane, if not I'll get it back. And you wonder why nothing gets done in government, reminds me of my favorite saying " HI! I'm here from the government and I'm going to help you"!! Sure

Doesn't surprise me that a parks person doesn't recognize the name of a fisheries person it's two completely different divisions. If you talk to him you can let him know that this is a statewide study funded by a grant, Kregg Smith (fisheries biologist in Plainwell) is overseeing the project. If he's got questions he can talk to Kregg but that box needs to get placed. Kregg and the esocid committee are making the decisions on which lakes get the boxes each year, it was moved from Belleville because the year at Belleville was over.
Gave him the survey box today. The box and sign should be up in a week right by the launch. I gave him all the cards, cause I don't know when I'll be back down there again. So I told him to only put 10 to 15 in at a time. They also gave the other sign to the Jackson office for Diane, so anybody going to Diane let me know if this was put up. Thanks
