SRT8 smoker craft

Welcome aboard, you will find the people here are great, very knowledgeable and willing to help a fellow angler. Just don't mention salmon and marshmallows in the same sentence and you should do just fine!

 

BTW nice pics, I like the action shot!

Whats wrong with salmon and marshmallows thats my go to

BTW nice chromers

couple of tanks there

You haven't had any bleeding issues? My once green line is now a nice tinge of yellow, lol.

I haven't had hardly any fading on mine it's a bit lighter green but not much

There was another incedent this weekend below the falls some one fell of a railed off area and may be charged under the niagra parks act.

some real nice chunks there the one is down right obese

I have been lookin lately to but I'm looking for a full trailer and much cheaper to fix up if I see any in your price range I will let ya know .all I'm looking for is 1 that is structuraly sound so I can gut it and make it all open with bunks to sleep on but still has to be nice enough that the family can spend the weekend in it .

I have been carrying a rubberized net for the last 3 years fish never leaves the water unless it's picture worthy and if I'm alone usually just release them right out of the net without touching the fish other than the hemo's to remove the hook the "proper" way is what ever is safe for yourself and the fish

Yep and a lot of people pre fishing on Saturday for the tourney I fished we should have went for buckets

Nanticoke shoal is 13.8 miles from turkey point made the run out on Sunday only to get skunked on smallies lots of rockies though trip out took 20 mins in my buddy's triton it was really tough fishing Sunday

You will love em their great drop dotted or on a football head or even Texas rigged for buckets

They are mass produced some will slip through that aren't up to spec send em back and they will replace them it's a PITA but if you want hand made body baits your gonna pay 2x's what a rap costs and they will still break out of a lot of raps that I have I have only 3-4 that have failed but I have lots that have never been used The LT do seem to be tough but time will tell.

i dont know if you kept that first laker, but if you let it go it would not have survived, its gill is coming out of its gill plate, its a goner for sure, he may have survived a couple of hours in the water but not much more than that!

 

nice shooting any ways,,,,

Humans can survive with 1 lung so why can't a laker survive with 1 gill raker missing ? I happen to know for sure that bass and pike can survive with them ripped out because I have caught several that are missing large peices of their gills and they still hit my baits and looked quite healthy fish aren't as delicate as some people lead us to beleive but we all still need to try our best to properly handle fish .if that fish went in a cooler it's survival rate 0 even if it's only got a 30% chance it's still better than 0 ,if it didn't make it there's gonna be some full seagulls out there.

BTW nice fish Vince

Good job

A truley Amazing young women your Daughter is Wayne hard to beleive she's home and chillin at the pool when she's not even supposed to have "tried" to walk yet her courage and dedication to beating this is inspiring

Just saw this thread now Richard sounds like your in good spirits and you must be improving if their letting you out for a half day .Sending good thoughts and Karma your way Buddy looking forward to your next fishin report .

BTW enjoy your time out of the hospital.

or a new WR at 19.5 hahaha

 

I'd estimate around 3.5lbs, maybe 4.

19.5 still wouldn't beat that japanese mutant at 22.4lbs

That's crazy and I thought the couple no show's I had were bad should have took them out and dropped em off on a island

Thanks for posting this Lew. I have been suffering with what I think is sinusitis for a long time now. Had surgery to fix a deviated septum and my headaches/forehead pressure still persist. I think the next step will be a sleeping test as I definetely do snore and feel tired in the mornings.

Exact same with me sinusitis treatment and surgery headaches for over 10 years and the CPAP has been the only relief (when I can wear it) my 1 year tune up/cleaning is in a week or 2 so I will see about a different full face mask but I'm gonna clean it right now and use it tonight cause my sinus is clear right now hope it helps you and Lews Daughter

Lund also posted on their FB page that they are looking into getting a dealer program to carry touch up and order paint for repairs but that was only a month or 2 ago prolly not up and running yet .

Lew I have sleep apnea also the mask help's me alot in the fall and winter ,I can't use it spring and fall due to allergies but I do not get headaches when I use it .And there is no recording device in it .I had similar readings as your daughter and it helps me alot when I'm not plugged up and I can't use the full face mask.

Just wanted to give one last huge thank you to all the sponsors!!!! Don't think it was mentioned yet in any of these posts, but, Dave Mercer donated an amazing tackle package this year that included a Shimano Calais, that, I know one lady is very proud to own!! Ask her next time you are at Dixie Tackle

Hope we all did you proud, and, that eventually we can beat this disease!

Yeah that signed Calais will be proudly displayed at the shop I'm sure Laurie looked like a little kid on X-mas morning with that reel and tackle pack in hand .I took a bunch of pics but haven't had time to get them uploaded yet I will post them once I do.

Thats awesome

Cool, thanks for letting me know Dan.

Yep he's very happy with the rod and keeps reminding me about winning big fish LOL

Good tips I hope all the fish a thoners take advantage of the beach and cold water that has been donated.
