Anytime.

Sorry to hear the news on both fronts Stoty. Best wishes for favourable outcomes.

I'm with Victor....it's all about balance. When I get tired of my fishing partner I just shove them overboard and take off. Anyone wanna hook up this weekend?

I have nothing constructive to add to this thread, but I have to tell you, I almost spit out my morning coffee when I read this....

I responded earlier about fishing in a boat, but most of my fishing is from shore. When I'm casting waters, I like to have someone to help pass the time away. Targeting pike, walleye, carp, whatever, most of my fishing is done at night in urban, no-so-safe areas, so having a partner is a must for peace of mind. I like fishing with someone on the tribs for trout (especially new and unfamiliar areas), but I have to admit, sometimes, being out there just before or at first light, peacefully drifting holes for trout is like heaven to me. Being right there, wading in the water, almost melting into your surroundings brings a certain peace to me that it's hard to explain. Some of my Then 9am comes and that's blown out of the water, but hey, I've had a few hours truly to myself.

For me, a new boat owner and relatively new to the sport, fishing with a partner is key.....especially on new waters. (which for me is just about every lake...LOL). On the other hand, if I had waterfront property, where I had a boat docked all the time, I'd head out solo as much as I could...something about how calming it would be. As it is, I only get out in a boat maybe once every two weeks on average....and trailering to a lake is always at least an hour away, I'd rather have someone with me. Good thread...I'm sure plenty will chime in!

Wow...that's pretty cool kickingfrog!! Thanks for the insight!

No problem Johnny....was looking for some pics of sunburns in past posts but couldn't find them. I remember posts about burned feet from sandal wearers, but couldn't find any of them. Some pics that should have shown up that were hosted on other sites didn't show in the thread any longer. I did a search for sunburns, but that returned about a bazillion threads. I knew there were pics out there of people with burns, but they didn't mention them when they posted it, so search didn't help. I hated having a bottle of sunscreen for that part of the song...your pic fit in quite nicely!

Attaboy Victor! She looks like a fine fishing vessel!!!

LOL....I took french for 3 years in high school, but cant understand spoken french. I can read it and get the gist of it, but spoken...may as well be Japanese.....

Hmm....I dont get it. I know they shouldn't be drinking beer in the boat....LOL.

Will is becoming a carp activist....

Great news! I'll have to see what's left in the bank account to see if I should buy a few or not....LOL

Awesome report and congrats on a great first muskie!! Sinker is a class act....he took Bly and I out the weekend before and put us on fish...he sure knows his spots and techniques that's for sure!

Great report Sean! No pic = I don't believe that jig story....LOL. Now that you are back into fishing, I can feel in your words how much you miss your old stomping grounds. At least you're back up there in a few months!

Here's another shot of Coho fry that I found...

Hmm...hard to say...found this image on the net....I'd say it looks closer to chinook though When I read the thread, I thought you were frying them to eat....lol

Come on in!

Thanks...right now in my canoe, my knees almost hit my chin when I'm sitting in it (at least it feels that way). An hour or two and my back is screaming!!

I'll answer for Wayne since he's not around.... He just sends them to the third deck...there's a 3 piece bathroom on his Lund. It's right beside his 32" wide screen fishfinder/TV

Wouldn't suggest it in November on the BOQ....hehe.

I was wondering how this came back, but this reply was the best....LOL I suppose he's not lying....a certain percentage released back in the water, the rest released to his dinner plate.

.....double post...

We have a bucket, a blanket and toilet paper for the ladies on my boat. No need for further description right?

Wow...those are some HOGS there!!! And the fish were big too!!! Joking joking.... Great stuff....awesome report....they put up a great fight that's for sure.
