Full Version: Successful Failure

Ran out this morning to try my toon patch job and see if the fish would bite. Since I didn't want too lose too much gear if I sank, I didn't take the motor, battery, ff, anchor and etc. well it decided to start raining just after I launched and then it decided to rain harder and then the wind decided to blow and oh did I mention I failed to take waders and a rain coat. Anyway fish weren't biting and I was a soaked Popsicle so I called it a day by 10:00,skunked, but with a successful patch job so Pat I'm into Big Blue if the weather will behave. Later J

[#0000FF]Sounds like we should form a chapter of Masochists Anonymous. That's where you hope nobody else knows who you are...and if you feel like going out and doing something stupid you just call a fellow member and get drunk together.

Glad you got the patch done and that it apparently is holding.

Now we gotta watch the weather and the fish reports so we can plan a meeting of MA.

I'll stick to being a Sadist.

By my definition, that's a person who is nice to masochists.

[#0000FF]Right ye be.

I once heard that the difference between a Sadist and a masochist was:

Masochist: "Hit me, hurt me, I love pain."

Sadist: "No way, baby."

Or you could join Fishaholics Anonymous. They have a great 12 cast program.

Well the cold wasn't too bad, but the screws in my pontoon seat had worked loose so I tried to tighten them with my pliers and they slipped off and pinched my finger tip really bad. Best blood blister I've had in sometime. Now that's real masochism.

We just had a gorgeous clear spot roll through here and the temps went up above 50 so I wanted to head back out, but things came up so I couldn't. Good thing, it was a sucker hole, got a hurricane outside right now.

Well hate to do it, but I'm afraid its time to give up on Cutler and go try Hyrum next trip. See if I can find some Freddie's. anyone got an ice or lack of ice report for there? Later J

Jeff, if you and Pat go up to the big blue and have room for another fisher person I'd like to go.

Hey Richard, we wanted to go try the white fish spawn and it would be great if ya want to join us. We still don't have any solid plans just want to find a windless day and hope the fish are in close and active. I'm still looking for my first spawn white fish. So I'm the rookie on this trip. I've caught them after the Cisco run but this will be new to me so I'm excited to give it a good toon try. Most likely first week of December if the fish are in. Keep an eye on our posts and help remind me to give you the details in case I forget. Thanks see ya then. J

I'm afraid for Hyrum it's a lack of ice report. None that I could see on the dam side as I drove by today anyway.

Tooning would not work for me. If I were to take the kayak it wouldn't fit in the trunk and I have nothing rigged to go on top of a vehicle. If I put it in the back of my Ranger we could put everything else in the back but one of us would have to run along side. That probably wouldn't be a problem because if I loaded everything we need I wouldn't be able to drive up the canyon more than 5-10 miles an hour. That little 4 banger just don't have no guts. It moves pretty good down hill though. Might have to meet you there. We'll see.

Thanks, RJ

Hey thanks for the report, may get one more toon trip then if its still open. The last two years in a row I have to try fishing Hyrum the morning it froze over for the year so maybe I'll be the good luck that tacks it over for the year. Probably wont get to try it until next weekend though. Thanks for the report. J

Guess I hadn't stopped to think about the commute, I just figured we would meet up there since my toon has to stay assembled these days with all the PVC and such and I don't have a trailer so I figured I would have to drive over as well. That's why I don't hit the lake very often, its a big trip. Lets hope for good weather. Later J

It's really not too bad if you're dressed for it, but if you make a mistake it can get serious real fast. Later J
