Wow, great deal! Not sure if the GT is open yet here in Woodstock? The better half made me a believer in Yum last year...it pretty much kicked Gulp's butt!!!!
Must have missed this post the other day. I think you are definitely onto something Shawn. Depending on when and where, I'd love to lend a hand as well...work schedule can be a little tough for me in the summer, but, I agree with Ryan...."keep me in the loop" as well.
The main reason I stay far away from any of the tribs on opener. Was much more enjoyable for me to be on an inland lake with plenty of elbow room and peace.
That, said...sounds like you had a great opener anyways Copper!! Good news on the pre-opening bust as well!
Way to go, bud!! Glad you made it out, and, with your dad is even more special!! I'll have to try some jerkbaits there next time. I pounded the water with spinners, spoons, and, small crankbaits...not even a whiff. Had to resort to "ye olde garden hackle" to get any takers.
Juli and I got out with her dad and brother, Scott, for an afternoon of beautiful weather and a couple of take home beauties. Couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather.
Couple of photos...
First fish we've ever kept from this spot, but, it's been awhile since a fresh fish dinner. Hope everyone had as much fun on opening day as we did!
Nice Jacques!!! Going to be a bit warmer down here for our opener, lol! We're heading to an inland lake tomorrow as well, I'll see if I can up that 13 3/4"es for our team.
Tyler, I've said it before...I truly envy the fishing opportunities that you have up in your neck of the woods. Not that things are poor down here, but, north of Huron is a whole different world.
Nice going
Great thread, Paul!!
I've made some darn good friends on this board, like others here, I belong to a few others as well, but, OFC is home base.
I just have to stay away from the classified section See waaaaaaaaaay too many good deals on here for fishing "stuff".
Happy B-Day, Brian!! Nice gift!
Have a guy that has worked for us the last three springs who has an insane amount of Dale Jr, stuff...you guys and your "dinky cars", LOL!!!
Jacques, my man!! Truly, an awesome donation towards this great event! I've said it before, wish you were closer, and, could make it to DC!! I know myself, and, some of the other participants would love to meet you in person, bud!
Great stuff, as usual, buddy!! The kids will be nailing those panfish there before you know it. The cold weather this spring has everything behind...Juli her dad and I hit one of my favorite piers on Saturday, looking for some 'bows, ended up catching and releasing three gorgeous little brown trout in ridiculously close to shore. The water temps are really low.
Nice work on the kennel, too
