This response is for Mr Bodine11; but in followup to those posted by CVfisher, Marathonman, TyeDyeTwins, EvilTyeDyeTwin, FishinFool53 and SkunkedAgain
Thanks to all for the responses and your input.
Having had the WORST luck on that lake short of dying, and yeah, I'll compare notes ANY time anyone wants to. [[No, I'm not talking just lost lures, poles or lost downriggers, I'm talking if you haven't swamped your boat completely under the waves in January or had a FIRE on your boat on that lake in 11 degree weather]]. If you want the details, you are welcome to stop by Pugmire's place and ask him.
Anyway, being that the lake has seriously kicked my a$$ time and again, I am glad to know that for the most part, the posts from the weekend were meant to share the fact that once in a while, you can get lucky. We couldn't be more thrilled to be able to share in what for us was a key memory making event with our kids and that once in a blue moon, you can work hard enough that the Bear will let her beautiful guard down and share some of her amazing treasures with you....nothing more.
I also thought it was funny that Kokanee fishing gear of all things was THE hot choice hardware. Go figure that one out!
I harbor no hard feelings and hope the same applies. We'll continue to post successes stories and pics and I sincerely wish you all the best and hope to see everyone's smiling mug shots with a kid's ear-to-ear grin and fishy-company soon!
Tight Lines.
