Yes buddy,I waded my way out at your old haunt. Just as the rain started,down went the float. Nothing like a Sunday morning quicky

Like I mentioned,the smoker was busy while I was away. Spoils of yesterdays catch. Dry brine for 6 hours, rinse,rack, let sit in the fridge til 4am this morning. Pop in the smoker with a pan of apple chunks,another added when I got home.

I bought a pair of these last week. I got to use them this weekend . With my left eye as you all know, having glaucoma and surgery repair, the bright lights these days are bad for me. It was recommended that I buy and try a pair of these. I have to say, what a great relief. Like I said,I used them this weekend during my early morning drive to the river. They knock that super bright head lights down to a dim. Not blinding anymore. I also wore them home this morning during a overcast day. They sure brighten up the light. When I got home and took them off, man it was really like day and night. I would recommend anyone that has the same blinding issues I have . Worth the money I spent on my pair. I even got a nice cleaning cloth and hard case. I can see clearly now ,the blinding light is gone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, https://www.amazon.ca/Bell-Howell-Polarized-Sunglasses-Military-Inspired/dp/B07771NCTS

I wish Rapala built them worth the $10 bucks a lure they are. I’ll be posting reports everytime I get the net wet . It’s good to be back !

Hey OFC . Used to be active on this board about 13 years ago. Never really left but had been lurking for a longtime . The worst kind of member! Life went sideways and addiction got the best of me. Been clean for over 4 years now and busy fixing the 3 ringed circus that was my life. Finally figured it’s time to get back at er now that 2 of my boys are in university and it’s just the weeun at home. Reconnected with my old buddy Meeps and he got the musky fever back in my life . Been losing more big girls than I’ve landed , which is frustrating but I’m still on em and consumed with the thought of a 50” plus. Still early in the fall and lots of trips planned , I think I’ll get that 50” in the net soon! Pictured is a nice fish I got after losing 2 that day, Meeps was quick in the water and did the net work for me, held her up quick while I snapped a pic and back in the drink she went. Musky fishing is some sort of psychological mind F@(£ , from watching videos and trips to the local shop, online orders , countless hours on the water throwing lures as big as my dog and all around being consumed by these fish, I think I got the bug bad. The wee man has really caught the fishing bug and has been on me to catch his first Salmon , we’ve been down to our local spot a bunch and he just hasn’t tied into one yet. This morning while he and his buds opted to head out for smallies , I checked in with the apps and saw that there was a minor moon phase and wind conditions in my favour so back down to the local I go. Chucking spoons for a good 3 hours with not a whiff , decided to throw on the ole Rapala and first cast had a big girl smoke it. What a fight she put up. A bunch of runs and acrobatics and she finally hit the net. Some how I managed to have the front trebles in her , Thank God, as you can see she snapped that rapala in half. All in all the fishing has been great and amongst these crazy times I can always find my solstice down at the water. I’ll keep posting and appreciate all the members who have been doing so for years.

Fished there yesterday . Parking lot is closed but could still walk in , Word from the old boys is we are losing access for 2 months while they place rock piles in the water . I emailed the city to see what is actually going on there since I can’t seem to find any info online . Really going to suck losing even more access down there and especially right in brown prime time. I guess I’ll throw the waders on and join the boys in the “hole” till it’s done.

Very nice

Sunday morning quicky I am hoping you just started.
