misfish

Tried a goby color body. I like, but that's not important as it,s the fish that will decide.

What a tribute. Thanks for sharing Lew and yes,remember the good times.

Loading up #6&#8

Never had one,but seen one for sale back then.

Perch will crush these. No worries there.

I can deal with ya catching the pike,no big deal ( nice one by the way ) but ya start catching those whities,well,I get a bit outofsorts.

Already in one and the doors are locked and cannot find the key. Think the key master swallowed it. Oh you know they will. I have a few more colors to do. I first need to get my shipment out to the new guy. Your to polite,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

I am always trying new things and I like what I am coming up with for my Ice grubs.

TRADER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am thinking, going to a SUV.

He will be on the geen this weekend for the Steel Dream derby. Not for this ole fella.

Jr was talking my ear off this morning. He is looking forward to meeting up with ya. Add a build for me and put it on his tab please. LOL I like that Chris. Nothing stands out but the name. Very nice.

Oh I am confident I will come up with healthy eats. Tonight is chicken fajitas with peppers and mushrooms. Whole wheat wraps. I am making her lunches now as well. Natural sugar fruits,grapes,bananas strawberry and blue berry's. and salmon or tuna sandwiches . She also gets 1 boiled egg.

Thanks for the heads up FD. Sent an email about a table and pricing.

My dishes will be turning a twist from now on out. Big changes, and they have already started. Mrs,s has blown out diabetes now,so this means,special foods and ya,no more white starches and all that good stuff. Big shocker was having yams with no melted butter and brown sugar drizzle. I am cooking for 2, so will not be that bad. I will not be making a him and hers. What I cook for her,is what I will be eating as well. I have to say,most is ok,but tonight's dinner was a bit on the ,no taste side for me. 5 grain pasta,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Thank goodness,my home made sauce had some kick to it. Got some reading and learning ahead of me,but I can live on lean meats and fish and brown rice. Oh,the smoker is not going away. I still need to get my treats. LOL Chris, some jambalaya would be nice right about now. Hell,even some of that redneck, red beans ham and rice. I will stop now,

Barrie too,go figure. LMAO Nice sunny end to the evening now.

I thought the back ground was a give away,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Took the high road. Think I should of taken the high road too,as he found and well,I just got a small one for my morning of scouting about 3 miles of river for tomorrow's fun steel derby . Never was so happy to see the Ram when I made my way back. Knee hurts a bit,but the fresh air is awesome. Downsize to a #12 and 3 egg sac with a 6mm high hook bead.

We teach them everything they know,not everything we know. LOL

When yer up at LEW OCLOCK, why not. lol

What a crazy fall we are having. Warm,cool,cold,warm. Not a fan of this. I was out one morning and it was 0 deg. Next day 14 deg. COME ON mother nature. River has yet to start to take on it,s fall color. Still a sandy look to it. Not my fav,but have done ok for the times I have got out. More swings and miss,s,but that is fishing. I hooked into what would of been my personal best this past weekend. Float dropped,set and out it came. I was gob smacked. Holly molly. I was in awe. Had to be 30" plus and thick. I tried to hold it,but me nerves got the best of me. My rod could not of bent anymore. Silly me,try to turn and well,pull the hook. Next drift,rain starts to come down. I am thinking the old saying as I watch the float drift away. Rain makes a bite. Sure enough,float drops,set and game on. Not a single jump,just bull dogging me. WTH. Salmon? After a good fight,finally get it close enough to see and it,s a nice fresh chrome. In the net and well,he went where I like them. In the smoker. My oldest boy has been telling me I need to go with him,as he knows where the bites are. Hmmmmm,I am catching I say. LOL He likes to hit the out of the way spots. Ya,I did those a lot as well,but my knee is not the best for that. I gave in and we hooked up. Wind is howling from the north all the way during my drive. Thinking this might be a good morning with the waves crashing on shore. We meet up and start the trek. Walking was not bad til,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Carefull pop,if you slip,yer going down a steep hill. What am I doing???????? It was dark,but we both have great head lamps. Head down and watching my steps. I stop on the narrow path and shine my light on the drop off. All I was thinking was, yup,that will end my day.That was positive thinking. Once we were past the,death do us part section,it was a nice walk. Got to spot with like 2 hours til any daylight. Thankfully,I had my java and some tunes. Once fishable light arrived,it was nice to see a very nice drift. I fished the tail out,he fished that darn fast water. I could never get the hang of that,but he does very well in it. An hour pass,s and who gets the hook up? Ya,the ole man. Nice fish that was jumping around like a jack in the box. I love that. Son came down to help land . Wind never let up all morning. right in my face,rod swaying back and forth. by noon,I had enough. Was a great morning. Walking back all I was thinking ,stay to the right and do not look down.LOL We made it back safe and shared some smokey treats. I have to say,he has turned into one hell of a river rat. Hope I had some part in that. Were entered in a derby as a team next weekend. Not sure where were fishing,but I will follow. Think I have lead long enough. Time to pass on the leadership role.

Color of decal on the cowl?

Was not aware the photos did not show or disappeared. I have reloaded.

I will be. I will be dying colors . Bought lots of white. Not buying every color when I can make my own.

Some new to me materials and like so far.

Thanks Doug. Cherry was ok. Prefer on fish. Yes,trimmed the bellies myself. It was over cooked for frying,so eat just the way it is. Just warm it up.
