i'll give her0 next season once i'm set up with the proper equipment, i'd love to get out with you for muskie....hint hint....

yup, gonna go see if i can get that pike i lost last week. we got into it just before 5pm so i'll probably get on the water around 3

crappiest weather i've seen in a while.High winds and torrential rain. Weather sposed to be better tomorrow on the river.what effect will this kind of weather have on fishing once it calms down.

AMEN TO THAT !!!!!!!

this is a really interesting post.It seems that perch are a finicky bunch.I always get perch when i'm pike fishing, and pike when i'm perch fishing Seems to me perch think they are bigger than they really are and vice versa for the pike. I'm gonna try some of these suggestions for sure.

i as born in 55, so i missed hurricane hazel.i can remember people talked about it for years.i had an aunt hazel and i always remembered being terrified of her just because of her name

im partial to country music

after the first couple of days, all the neighbors pulled together and shared what we had.At one time i had 16 people sleeping on the livingroom floor in front of the fireplace.funniest thing was when i took the dogs out for a pee at night,the full moon made everything look like crystal. Awesome experience, but im prepared for the next one.

please accept my heartfelt condolences.Losing a familly member is always hard.I promise you that i will always keep my PFD on while in the boat.If anything, you may have saved my life someday. Paul

for me it was the 1998 ice storm.i lived for 14 days without electricity in the winter.After the initial panic wore off, we were able to stay warm with the propane fireplace.we bbq'd and use the coleman stove to cook and heat water. i remember almost knocking someone down at CT for the last pack of bAtteries. I apologized in the check out and shared them with him.Huge towers came crashing down in front of my home, and the air was blue with electricity.wild times

this guy is hilarious.but it looks like tons of fun.Anybody ever fish from a belly boat.

hey, that would be really interesting.You should post some how to's on the board so someone like me would have a winter project

i feel all fuzzy now. That is so heartfelt and beautiful. Congrats

its unfortunately almost impossible to find something NOT made in china these days. pity.

nice work !!! Who needs a camera when you can draw like that. Totally impressed. Those bloody gobies are everywhere. what a plague

a pine or spruce board would be the cheapest wood.you could cut it to size easily. For the bed bost knobs you could use a round dowel, and shape it with a sander until its a ball, then cut the ball off and glue it onto the post.Then brad nail it in place. the acual head board and foot board could be made of wood veneer picked up in any hobby shop. or just cut a thin piece of the pine or spruce board and cut the round contures on a band saw or jigsaw.

a little piece of heaven on earth. You're a locky man.

excellent sheeps !! they really put up a fight.More than any bass.Got a few this summer here in the St Lawerence near montreal.Mine were in the 12lb range.Nver knew much about them before and sure didnt know they came in the 17lb range Thanks for sharing. Paul

done like dinner. Way cool video.

THATS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER READ !!!!! You should be a stand up commedian.Mr Whiskers......

THANKS SHAUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! this will keep me warm over the winter..... Paul

no compaints from me now i just got to show her how to drive the boat so i can catch up to her catch chauffeur chaugood i always say

Sunshine, lite winds,and only a couple of perch. Use the solunar chart today.It said best between 1.46 and 4.46 pm, and it was bang on.Got a few perch and just before getting off the river the wife said,"I'm in the weeds" "well bring it in,i'll clean it off" i said. She was kinda reeling in from behind her, and i saw something just graze the surface of the water.Must be a huge clump of weeds i thought.10 feet from the boat i saw it."Swivel your seat around slowly" i said. She looked as if there was a bear standing behind her."What is it" she asked, eyes wide open. I wasn't sure,so i just told her to hang on while i got the net, and keep bringing her line in slowly. 4 feet from the boat it saw us, and all hell broke loose.It was one of the bigest pike i've seen in a long time.Easily 36-38 inches long and 4 inches between the eyes.It was just following the retrieve back to the boat,no fight,just sliding in on top of the water.I stood up, grabed the folding net and just as i got in position, it came out of the water splashed the two of us, and cut the line like a piece of thread.we were using a small perch spinner with a worm on it with 12LB mono, no steel leader.hell we were perch fishing Oh well, the wife was stoked, she got a good look at it before it got away. she wanted to catch it again so i could remove the hook so it ouldnt be hurt I think this will keep her goin to spring.
