misfish

Seems to be a hatchery fish. Just pasting what I read. It was a huge salmon, with an Adipose fin Clip which suggests that it was aHtchery rasied fish. Theres a reason for that. You be surprised me brudder what one will do to win .

Thanks Chris.

Maybe I,ll show up,and win back that flipp,n stick. LOL The mrs,s and I are working on a trip down. How do we get a camp site?

If I,m looking at a 2003 for $16~18 K.,I,m looking at buying new 2013-14 with warranties. Were talking 10 years here. Good luck with the sale. Are you buying one of those MasterCrafts?

LOL I know. Need to get over yer way and do a fish together. Back of the boat is still open for bass guys? Terry,thats too funny. Im glad I didnt get raked for a bad hold. I was very gentle with it.

Thanks guys. I just thought a fun report would make some laugh. Lew,I know you throw bigger baits then that one I caught.LOL LMAO Roy.

Been called worse Dax. Like water on a ducks back. I can see though,you didnt read the report.If you did,your question wouldnt of been asked. East wind was blowing when we arrived,the chop was about 1ft. Not knowing this lake very well,having only fished it twice for bass,I was thankful to have a great guide.

Now thats funny.

There goes that spot..

Ya,thats it.

Dan,Lets go hunt,n. Dat bird looks like he needs a warm pot. Nice shot. Photo that is.

Maybe I should go back to a boat.LOL

Hence my point,which you failed to see,,,,,,,,LMAO RIBBING,just in case you dont know me.

If I had auto pilot,I could of done the same thing. Two mornings of 4 am and travel. Darn getting old is a be atch.LOL Thanks again.

Please dont go there. Im in deep as it is. Sry dear.

FloatnFly I can understand. Just like many other companies. Buy out. Im just new to the fly fishing.First full year,loving it Everything I have bought from members has been new or just like new. I,m pretty much set.,,,,,,,,,,,,, for now,one, never knows.

I love my Orvis,s. Bought 2 from a member here,brought over the pond,and never used, New in the box,with spare spools.

Oh my. Pike slayer has a story for you. I,ll let him tell it.LOL

well we're half way there......lol Still LMAO about that one. and on the half way back. HAHA

East wind was blowing when we arrived,the chop was about 1ft. Not knowing this lake very well,having only fished it twice for bass,I was thankful to have a great guide. Ali Bolly. Man this guy had marks all over the lake where he caught fish. To me this was MONEY. Lots of tap tap taps on the harnesses,,but nothing to show. We move to another spot. No tap tap taps. Ok,this is where the big fish live. After about 20 minutes of the harness,I switch up to a vibrax.Bolly puts on a body bait. Start our troll. Oh my,I get a solid hit. Dinner????? Nope,in the slot limit,16.25. No pickeral bacon wraps. Give the vibrax another go for a bit,nothing,so reworm the rig and out it goes. 30 ft behind the boat. Sitting there chatting away,and wham,no tic tic,just a wham bam. Fights on. Oh it,s a big pickeral. As it gets closer to the boat,I see a green streak go by. Oh my,it,s a musky. Ali says no,it,s a pike. I say (cant say what I said here. It,s a Musky. YAHOOOOOOOOOOO After a short battle,it was landed. You musky guys are doing it all wrong.. RIBBING,just in case you dont know me. Ok truth be told,Ali and i were pickeral fishing,but this little guy(only my third ever,first two were with long time member Garry 2r,s) smacked my worm harness. It was a great battle. I could feel the braid ripping through the weeds,had to pull him out a few times. Heading in,we hit our first spot that had lots of tap tap taps. Ali showed that you always go back to where you start.It was one that could of been taken,but we decided not,and left him to live another day. All fish released to play with another angler another day. The cast Misfish,played by misfish Ali Bolly,played by Terry. Terry is nominated for outstanding Bolly giude service. A fun day to report

If they ever "trap shoot flying carp" Im in. HAHA That would be so cool. Bow hunting carp is a sport to some,and I respect that. Their great fertilizer fish anyways.LOL

^^^^^^^ NOPE^^^^^^^^^ BTW,You and I should give it a try. LOL

We both have been trying to hook up,back and forth with pm,s. Set the date,and finally got to meet a real gentleman.. There was nothing different in the way he came across on the net,and in person. Real cool dude. He invited me down to do some RELAXING, salmon rigg,n. Arrive at 5ish,get the boat launched and we were off. . We had a bit of a task ahead of us first,,Dodging tree limbs and logs. What a mess. Once we were at our destination,it was time to rig up. Steel line,with dipsys,spin docs and flys,riggers we went with spoons. Simon calls a time for the first fish to hit,I call another. I was bang on. 6:37.We had a good laugh about that one. Pump pump goes the rod. It,s a small shaker. A bit of time goes by and the rod tip looked to be bouncing,but it stopped. A few minutes later,we decided to change up spoons and lo and behold,there was a small shaker. I hate shakers.LOL Looking through the stock pile of spoons,I see MONKEY PUKE. Thats the one I say. Get it hooked up and down it goes. Throw on a black/purple NK on the other rig. Being it was out first time meeting,and many things to talk about,we were in to deep conversations. Talking about what it use to be like when the 4 sisters were around and the fishing then. Also about the credit up in his area,and the places that were my old stomping grounds and how much the areas have changed. Fish outings,and our golf game. I was having a great time . During all of this time,,Simon says did you see that? I look,and heres this fish leaping about 100 ft behind the boat. It was non stop. LMAO Simon says,we got one. LOL Grab the rod,and this fish was non stop leaping right to the boat. It was a nice clean rainbow,,,,,,,,,,On the monkey puke.LOL Spent the rest of the morning traveling in and out of 80-200 fow. The east wind had picked up and it was shut down time.The flies were nasty. Some pics from today. Heading out Flies The fish that danced for us. And another great member from the board. Sir Simon. Thank you for the invite Simon,thank you for the stories,thank you for the new friendship. My turn next up here. PS Roti was awesome,and it took me 2 hours to get home.(Only took me 45 to get down there)LOL Bumper to bumper from the 427 off ramp,til I got to 88. I hate traffic. Thats why I moved up here.

Good ole Dave. Happy belated,and good to hear from you. You still got it.LOL
