Fished the west end tonight with doublehaul. First time wading since last year. Fished the shallow water with floating Rapalas from 6PM-8PM with not even a bump. Had a great time though and found out doublehaul really knows some great recipes. He's a super guy and I can't wait to fish with him again.

TeamHelga, glad to have you onboard. We're really looking forward to some pictures of the salmon you are catching in Norway. What type of lures are you using? There's a lot of good info here with a bunch of great guys who are willing to share information.

And mine. I should have said end of discussion on my part, for Iceman in particular. There, did you understand that part? Send me a PM if you wish to discuss this further.

Iceman, if you can't read what I said and understand it I'm not going to explain it to you. Others seemed to get my drift. From your posts I see you are looking for an arguement but I'm not going to bite. Please try to keep your comments constructive and to the point. As far as I'm concerned, end of discussion. :roll:

Last time I give you kudos. :D

That's not a fair statement at all. I fished all 4 ProAms this year in the Am division and our team outfished a good number of the Pro teams in 3 of them. While we didn't finish in the big money, we still did better than most. Like Tim said, it's a matter of skill and not just chance to weigh in a good box. Our team wasn't the only Am team to do better than some of the Pros. Just because a Pro team member has the word Capt. before one of the names doesn't necessarily mean they have an advantage. Matter of fact they have it harder because they have to boat 12 fish compared to 6 on the Ams. Please reconsider & join us in the ProAms next year. It's a great way to meet many of the guys on this site and others and a heck of a great time.

It's that time of year. Time to put the I/O up for the winter. Good tips from West Marine, video: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/st ... =E081017DP If you have more helpful tips, please post them here for the rest of us. Or better yet, Call Hank (L&M) & he'll do it for ya. He does a great job. Thanks!!!

Glad it's been a help Stan. Not to worry about the site here. Guys disagree, but in the end everyone gets along just fine. Everyone has their own opinion on how to do things. Some may be right & some wrong, but that's the way we learn from each other. Glad to hear you're doing better at fishing out in Calif. That's what this site is all about. (We Make Good Fishermen Even Better)

He used to post here all the time but haven't heard a word from him since around July. Anyone know if he's OK?

No comment.

Hey, no fair, that's johnnywalleye's line. Nice fish though.

Then an extra pair of shorts is highly recommended. :D

Done.

No, but they're from Jersey and used to playing in the smog so no big deal.

Oh yeah? How does that crow taste? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hey floorboy, welcome to the site. I thought I recognized the name. Bunch of great folks here. Don't hesitate to post some reports here so we can see what's happening out your way.

Great pics. Lookin forward to the video.

He's easy.

I don't believe you did that. We were just talking about it the other day. :D Good luck down there. Lookin forward to the report when you get back.

Good one

Not to worry, it's on the job training. No problem.

Your time's comin Ray K. :D

AMEN!!!

Arrived at the launch @ 6:45am to meet Landshark who was going to be there at 7. Stood around talking to other fishermen at the dock while waiting. In the distance I saw a boat putt putt putting toward the dock. When it was 20 yds. away I realized it was Landshark and it was 7:10. He said he got there early and wanted to go ahead and launch & make a few casts. When he tried to fire up the main motor to come back to the dock it wouldn't start so he had to come in on the kicker. We weren't gonna let that deter us from going out, so I went aboard and we headed out on the kicker. For those of you who troll regularly you can appreciate us sitting there with the putt putt going & how long it took us to go a mile and a half to the "hotspot". Visions of hammering the eyes during the early morning light were slowly diminishing. LS tried to start the main motor numerous times and I even offered up my limited knowledge of 2-strokes and possible solutions. Well to make a long story short, we trolled for 4 hours till LS took a look on the floor and saw his kill switch cord laying there. :shock: We decided the fish weren't gonna bite till later so we decided to leave. We were pulling in rods when LS realized he had a fish on. It ended up that was the only fish of the day for us. Trolled east & west with stickbaits off the church boards in about 35 fow. Maybe next time will be better. It was a blast being out on the water on such a nice day and Mike and I had quite a few laughs talking about this site and the great members we each have met thru it. I promised not to break them on him too bad when we got back, and he promised to let me on his boat again. :D Thanks Mike, it was a great day. PS: I got a pic of Landshark's walleye, but can't download & post it till I get my computer back from the fix-it shop on Fri.
