mercman Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Met up with Roy at 7AM, and with a couple of Tims in hand, we set out.It was new waters for him, and new technic for me.Bottom bouncing. I have seen the rigs in bait shops, but had no idea what they were or how to use them. Thanks to Roy, now i do. Weather held off just nicely, and we trolled for Walleye along the edge of the shipping channel. I have spoken to alot of the locals in the area, and the walleye bite has been very slow this year. No ones getting the big ones, and they are hard to find.Water temps have been really cool this year and weather fronts have been moving through on a daily basis, causeing the fish to be in unpredictable locations. As it turns out, we spent most of the morning trolling here and there, talking about everything under the sun, and only catching an OOS smallie and a rock bass who seemed to like coming on to lures as big as itself. I enjoyed the time fishing with this experienced angler, and good friend, and i look forward to it again.I dont often get a chance to spend time with experienced anglers Like Roy, and i am grateful for the chance to do that today. Thanks Roy You are a scholar and a true gentleman. Paul
Rattletrap2 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 "Catching" anything would be a sheer bonus. I think just getting to spend a few hours with Roy in a boat would be a great experience in itself. Sounds like you had that good fortune and then some.
Joey Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Yep, a day fishing with Roy and it doesn't really matter if you catch anything. The company alone is what really counts. Sounds like a great day
Handlebarz Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Good day for sure I know I would love to spend a day out with Roy I am sure there would be many laughs had by us for sure. At least next time you have some eye's to look forward to.
dhickey Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 You keep this up you will be giving out fishing advice to all us nuckleheads. Sounds like a great day.
vinnimon Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Fish or no fish, you had a good day with a good gent
Big Cliff Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Any day fishing with Roy is a good day fish or no fish.

aplumma Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 I would love a day of fishin with Roy but their seem to be a theme here and Roy is a bad luck fishing gnome. Here is hoping for a little bad luck some day. Art
fishnsled Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Not always about the fishing, a good time with a good friend = a good day anytime.
danc Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Spending a day fishing with Roy is on my "10,000 things to do before I die" list. In fact, it's in the top 10 on that list. You beat me to it Paul. Must have been a fun day for both of ya.

You beat me to it Paul. Must have been a fun day for both of ya. Dan, Roy is one of those men who makes you feel welcome and at ease immediately. He is wise and funny, and never at a loss for words.
Leecher Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Sounds like you both had fun Which body of water were you fishing?
