  4. Hope Joey got ya some brake cleaner to throw in that diesel motor, have a great b-day
  5. Nice! My boys always seem to catch fish right away too
  6. From Musky Mike via PM: 0 -14 lbs Muskellunge, cleaned and scaled (pike can also be used) 1 cup butter salt and pepper, to taste (lemon pepper is wonderful in baked fish) Directions: 1 Preheat oven to 350F and grease a baking pan. 2 Clean and rinse fish thoroughly. 3 Rub with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 4 Place fish in prepared pan and bake, allowing 10 minutes for each pound. 5 It may be necessary to baste the fish if it is sufficiently large to require more than one hour. 6 Use 2 tablespoons butter in one cup of water and baste every twn minutes if necessary to prevent fish from drying out.
  7. I was under the impression that it is legal if you are more than 100m from shore, but I may be wrong
  8. Awesome report! There's some priceless pics in there
  9. Problem with quotes is that they are much higher because they need to cover their and don't want to lose money
  10. Gotta remember there are many more costs that need to be included in an hourly rate. Either way you shouldn't be paying for the apprentice. I never charge for a second guy thats on site if he doesn't need to be there and is watching
  11. I met up with my buddy Matt at 4:30AM. After a quick inventory and coffee stop we were off to meet Pikeslayer. Arrived at the launch just before 6AM and got the boat in the water. We didn't really think the fog was as bad as it was until we got out a bit. It was THICK!!! The fog stuck around for a while but Simon got all the rods setup quickly. It was nice to just sit back and watch someone else do all the work I was first up when we got into the action. This thing was just dead weight not moving in the water but when it got close enough to the boat I told Simon there is no need for a net, I am a pro angler. I reached over the side of the boat and lipped the beast in. We hit the jackpot, a nice Roots orthopedic back pack. It is a new personal best for me and being the good guest that I am I let Simon take the first catch of the day home Unfortunately no pics but this is what it looked like except red instead of pink. We knew that we wouldn't get a better catch that day but decided to stay out anyway. Soon after a dipsy rod fired I took over control of what would turn out to be my first Salmon 2nd PB of the day! It was a light fighter with a few good tugs on the rod. She cooperated and was invited to a photo shoot. After a bit it was time to hit the blue zone. Matt was up when a rod fired. This thing was an acrobat with a few nice jumps in a row. Simon used his master ninja netting skills and lifted it into the boat. A nice healthy bow that was Matt's PB. We payed the fish gods, we sent gentle loving vibrations down the lines, but nothing was happening. We watched some stupid fish swipe and miss for a bit until a dipsy fired again. It was my turn to winch in this creature of the deep. She was a good fighter but no match for my giant bear paws and Simon's ninja netting skills. And wouldn't ya know it, a new PB bow for me The fish gods didn't want Matt to get another but he would have none of it. He gently massaged the rods and did things to them that I cannot say but the fish couldn't resist and took the bait. Another healthy bow that was Matt's new PB! A little while later we were laughing at the HDS as it looked like a fish hit and missed 2 rigger rods with the same spoon on. "Stupid fish" we said. A second later one of the rods fired. She was a hungry beast that thought she could take me on, she was mistaken. I pulled her in to find BOTH spoons from those 2 rods in her mouth We took her for a photo op and now I have another PB! A short while later it was the captains turn to pull in a fish. This thing took off straight down and was giving Simon a nice fight. Matt was the net man for this while I was doing the camera work. Simon pulled her up and she was another beauty Salmon. After that the lines were pulled and we headed in for the day. Is was a great day fishing and I am sure we will be heading out together again.
  12. I was thinking the same thing!
