lew Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Jeeez, I'm just getting all my musky gear together in the basement for this weekends opening and the pile seems to grow every year, even though I tell myself every year that I don't need anything else, yet I continue to buy I gave away, plus sold a bunch of stuff this year, yet I still seem to have more. This doesn't even count the 80 odd bucktails that spend the winter in the boat, or all the stuff stored at the trailer.....good thing I own a Safari van. Good luck to all youz other musky guys hitting the water this weekend.
Puckhead Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Holy cr@p Lew! Any room left for you on the boat?
Guest mistyriver1 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Good stuff Lew. I see the new "Boo Box" is ready for action.
Terry Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 boys and their toys you can never have too much tackle........
Whopper Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Good Luck Lew and everyone else chasing the toothy critters. Just got unpacked and started two piles, USED (needed) & UNUSED (don't pack no more) took some notes for future trips. Whopper
irishfield Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I've got that problem already...and haven't been at it for a 1/15th as long as you Lew! LOL
fishdawg Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 enjoy Lew - i wish you an safe enjoyable season i'll keep an eye out for you
Tybo Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I'll take those plows and the 10" believer off your hands
misfish Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Oh yeah,want to see all the bass stuff I got. L M A O Lew I have been in yer boat,lets just say,I was thankful you cleaned off the back casting deck. May you catch many toothy critters this year. BTW You need a carpenter to fix those drawers? LOL Edited May 31, 2007 by misfish
lew Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 I'll take those plows and the 10" believer off your hands Actually Paul, that's a 14" Believer and you can take it off my hands for $40 As for the Plows, I'll sacrifice them to you for $80 a piece Sometimes I'm sooooooo envious of bass fishermen and their $6 baits
BFSC Kevin Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 as a musky newb.. YEESH.. 14" Believer.. I have never thrown anything that is over 6"..
lew Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 May you catch many toothy critters this year. You know your always welcome to join me Brian and you know where the boat is......just gimme a call anytime.
Raf Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 good luck this wknd and season Lew. I know all about this 'disease' too. Funny thing is I can justify each purchase in my mind, but the girlfriend doesn't always get it.
misfish Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Sometimes I'm sooooooo envious of bass fishermen and their $6 baits Hey they all arent 6 bucks,sometimes we pay 7 or 8 bucks.LOL Im sure I,ll be up there this summer Lew.The wife has some working weekend this year so I might as well go fishing.LOL
charlesn Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Lew, $6 baits... Maybe for some of them, but even for those, we need like 6 of each colour due to those pesky toothy critters of yours. We also need about 30 rods and reels each for various applications. There may be a more expensive fish to chase after, but the bass is certainly up there in terms of costs... Losing something like a Megabass Vision 110 ($30 USD apiece) to a slimer is about enough to make a grown man cry. Not because of the cost, but because of how hard they are to find up here. Talked to a bassin' friend and his bait count was at 58 plano 3700 trays full. Yup, FIFTY EIGHT!!! That does not count the unopened stuff on pegboard. lol, rather ridiculous and nuts and he's sorta reserved compared to some other friends. Luckily I have much more self control than they do so I'm well under the 50 Plano tray mark if you don't count spinnerbait, buzzbait, flippin jig, tube and crankbait trays... And I don't have a pegboard wall either. Also if the wife ever complains, I just show her a photo of JP's tackle warehouse/room. Sometimes the junk/tackle collection is half the fun. Giving stuff away always feels good too. Charles
jediangler Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 You need to buy a kayak for musky fishing Lew. Then you only have room for half a dozen baits. Over the years I've fished with fewer baits every year. Moving more and more of them to take up permanent residence at home. This Saturday I'm taking one plano with 4 bucktails, 2 slopmasters and 2 cobra jigs with rubber on them. I have to save room in the kayak for lunch and drinks as well as my camera and tools for unhooking. Good luck to all.
lew Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 Yeah, I know what your sayin Charles, were all addicted to fishin stuff. I've probably got 100 minnow baits for pickeral......and I fish for pickeral exactly 3 days a year. Oh well, I spose we could all spend our money foolishly on less fun things
John Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Lew, have a wonderful weekend and a very fruitful season. John
lew Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks John and the very same to you, see you in a couple weeks.
bigbuck Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Jeez Lew-eeze!!! Lew, that's a whole whack of stuff, how big did you say your boat was?? I guess you used to be a boy scout (be prepared). Good luck this season and I hope you absolutely slay the toothy critters.
Bernie Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Take up pickerel fishing Lew. All you need is a couple jigs, one fishing rod and a box of worms.
ecmilley Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 lew any musky gear you would like to give away i am sure i could find it a good home and have a great opening I'll be out on Sturgeon Sunday morning
Guest gbfisher Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I tell myself every year that I don't need anything else, yet I continue to buy From what I hear...It only gets worse as ya get older....lol. Its one addiction that Im not to clear on really but its ok. I can quit tomorrow~
