Well guys it dont get any better than it was today, got a limit of whitefish and trout and salmon, one steelhead was a good one prolly 4 pounds spawned out hen, dinner was great all you can eat whitefish and morrels, gave the trout and salmon to the freezer for the carp shoot dinner in a few weeks.
Fieldwalker let me know when you will be back up this way so we can plan a fishing trip, the fish are hitting hard now and the shrooms are sticking the heads out good now and its pose to rain tonight, so i should have a big bunch for the freezer, have a great day, FISH ON!!!

Fishing wasen't too shabby up my way either .
Roosterfish showed up around 3:30 Friday and we were on Lake 4 by 4:30 .
We had pike after pike on , I had one monster that broke the hook off of my daredevil spoon .
Later the bass started hitting , again , one after another .
Saturday we hit Secord Lake for some Muskey , one hammerhandle landed , one nice one lost at the boat . I forgot the net ! We went back to lake 4 to finish out the day with not much action being had other than a few more small pike .
Sunday put us at wiggins lake , LMB's were hitting , a few perch were cought and then we went below the dam . Roosterfish got a couple nice white suckers and some rockbass while I ended up with a few gills .
The boat trailer was the only thing that didn't do too well on our trip , the new bearings gave up sometime during our adventure . It's only a hour fix , but that's an hour of fishing I'll loose .
We'll be putting the pics as entrys into the 16 Species Contest .

[crazy] I guess you can tell that roosterfish was still logged onto my computer when I made that post , LOL !
Anyway , we had a great time on the water . Had a time I thought he was going to send me swimming , I went to cast and didn't let the bail open . wham , right in his back , not once but twice in a row [shocked]! When the fish are hot ya' kinda loose track of those kinda procedures[blush].
Got to do some work on the fishing rods , I've used them so much the tips kept flying off on every other cast . I'm thinking of a little sanding and aplying some wrap to the end to keep a snug fit . [cool].

I like foxy poxy my self. no fuss no mess, and when the tip comes off it is because the end of the rod came off with it... [pirate]

I know most people use hot clue so they can take it back off, I dont understand why?
[signature]

Whoops !
We had my 2 and 3 piece rods with us , we were left standing holding the butt end while the top half went out into the lake with the lures [crazy].
[signature]

that is both a good thing and a bad thing,

on the up side you have to go shopping,
on the down side you have to go shopping.

I hate when I do that. especialy if I dont have another rod and a spider to fish my rod back out of the lake.

Yes there is a valid reason to have a spider in your tackle box, it just isnt leagle to have it in your posession while fishing....

did you get my message? whats happenin memorial day weekend? wanna go fishin'[cool]

jUST think , if a fish hit the lure he not only would have a hook in his jaw but he would run the risk of getting his eye poked out at the same time , LOL !
