that was his younger sister

i did mapquest after typing ..gotta couple ponds near here i might try i need to buy a second boat for some of these smaller bodies of water 3 cars and a boat fill my driveway now ,if i could talk the wife into walking to work only 2 miles then i could sell her car buy a 2nd boat and have a place to park it ,,,,hmmm ill run that idea by her,boy im one smart fella ,and she calls me a numbskull....

4 for 5 lost 1 bigie ,4 worm 1 blue stick,88to 95ft, 5 miles due north think i shudda shoped in the 60 to 70 range but i found a big school and worked em till i limited out ..on the way in i had a good screen of something ,,,,, hey on my way out all these fish in the bay were jumping outa the water some (lots) of them slammed my boat hard ,could these be those silver carp from the south or some other critters looking for a boat to smash into,,if i had a shorter boat they would of came over the sides and right in,poor things it was pretty funny though.....

sorry john the wally bug bit again went to erie got 4 for 5 of course the bigone got away,this thing actually fought (pulled hard) and had a good rod bend felt bigger than the 10lbr last trip never did see it ..sooo heres the questiondoes a good meal make up for a lack of (none) fight ,,,,,?????? you better belive it does,i guess the other (bigger)challange is learning to catch a new species.forgot to bring my secret wepon so i gotta go back to test that out darn.i also caught a crappy on a stick bait it was a crappy fight also.4 worm harnes 1 on stick for the walleyes think i went out to far as i was motering in i passed lots of marks in the 60 ft depth course in that area 60 ft is like 2 miles wide so thats a lot of hunting at 1.6 mph, if this summer weather sticks around another week i may go up next week..................

might head up tomorrow,,,,,,,

you talking erie ??????????

worse..............MOTHER IN LAW.........

thats just one more reason to fish through the winter to protect your investment,, man 1 more day of sitting in the tree stand and my gills will be dry ,,,MUST FISH,,,,not to mention my tan is fading did the weather person say 70 plus for the next week hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

looks like blueyes is gonna put (jerk) under my name just when i thought i was ..............

THERE YA HEARD IT FROM THE LIPS OF LARRY THE PROFESSIONAL ,guess this poll is over,now i gotta start lieing,complain about those stupid hooks not working proper,andfigure out where the he!! all the fish went i found last trip!!!!!!!!!!!

the way they played in the playoffs ya might change to( "T" ball clipper),now my only enjoyment of watching the series will be if bosten gets in then i can root against them,(sorry mass. guys )......... NOT..........here we go,,,,duck................

spring -80% spoons (coho rig 2) no flys west end,,, summer west end lake 70-spoons, 30 fly,,,east end 70 fly 30 or less spoons,,,,late summer west end 30% spoons 70 fly,,east end 80% fly,this is my first fall (late sept-oct)fishing back to 80% spoons or higher for me on the west end,,,,this is not nessesarly what i ran but what was my best catch ratio for each type...

Ya Know i take you old farts out fishing and this is how ya treat me,I feel the love,,,,,im on a crash diet next year ill be buffy and hunky or is that chunky? sooo your saving the good pics for cabin fever i'll have to check out my memory stix and see whats there..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................L.S. that spinner you call (out of the closet ) has me a little concerned..

Musky you told me you erased that vidio see if i take you fishing again you L.O.U.S.E.R.S.,land shark good vidieo above(other post not bobs) i was just looking at those spinners at dicks last night,i also have a bunch in some old tackle in my basement with a wooden body . oh boy i think i found a hole in lake Erie in which to throw my money.

the acid is a good cleaner if your boats hanging from straps or on blocks but it ant too good for metal(trailer)rubber ,black top ,skin ,clothes,concrete ,grass,worms,eyes and fumes for the lungs,pets feet,and butterflies?

I just drop the fishhawk for a temp and speed check then pull it and store it upside down,i only drop it down a couple times a day unless i make big moves or the fishing slowes real bad with 40 to 50 days on the water im still using the same battery,but in real time ive only had it on maybe a hour or two for the summer. now that i have a new seal to replace my leaky one i might run it for the derbys ,bulk price 10 pac at SAM's club is about the same as 1 rechargable bout 14.00 bucks(enegizers)=5 gal gas=1.5 spindctrs=3lures,, its all included in that big hole in the lake in which we throw our money.well gotta go need to get a new rifle 500.00,scope,200.00 bullets 50.00,tree stand 200.00 camo suit,boots,pee,yes 1000.00 a gal pee(do the math),,,someone moved that money pit to the woods,if i didnt hunt or fish i would have a lot of money but i would be as poor as the rest of the world that doesent enjoy every corner of our earth.

friday i was on lake erie am surface temp was 66deg by 3 in the afternoon it was 70.3 deg and that was at my transem temp 18" down thats a huge warmup in 7or8 hrs even for a spawner,I think?plus that gentel s/sw wind should of stacked the warm water to the river for a couple days ...justa a thery as ive never fished erie at all before nor onterio past august....

ive got a 8 hp 1984 class on my 22ft ofshore islander alum boat top 5.5mph trolls good in moderate to light windsbout 14 hrs on a 6 gal tank

just had my first walleye dinner,time to do my homework they ant to exciting to catch but make up for it in flavor and the challenge to learn a new style of fishing might not be all that bad,Capt John the bait shop i went to said the wally season is basically over ,,,few more questions 1 what should i expect during peak season (numbers and size,,2 where do the wally go this time of year ,,3 why do they come to east coast during peak season,4 when is it over ,over or does it just stay like this till the next season aaaannndddd 5 whats your favorite way to cook I still have 5 lbs of fillets left thank you ,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmRay K. P.S.any good books to sharpen the learing curve?

l.s. just off dunkirk,on erie whale watch oh boy there goes my image again,kinda a joke when its sunny and hot i try to elimanate any tan lines(buffy)(buff)and my wife claimes any boat that comes by must think its a whale watch trip,me being the whale,nuf said ok i'll post some photos from the trip........grey sylvan with big american flag.

buying my 22ft 20yr old boat was no problem but that $10,000.00 loan for tackle has been eating at my gas money..........

ok walleye,Capt John i tried to reach ya on 7 and 16 all day (Pegasus) no response was looking for a little support out there .hit the lake late thursday nite got 1 wally on watermelon harnes and 1 steele on homemade tamiron ...got a late start friday 8:00 ish well i gots a lot to learn bout theme wallys , due to the slow trolling speeds it took me a while to figure out how to catch steelies at 1.6 mph once i did i got a steady pick of steelies for the day couple nice dancers but most were small 4or 5 lbrs.the reason i started to target steels was the wally bite was far and few till i figured purple and black was 1 key,i even stuck a inline spinner ahead of a pu andblk spoon with a worm off the treble and it worked,i think if i had more walleye spinners i could of done pretty good not to mention a secret weapon i brought along by sheer luck got 5 walleyes friday biggest just about 10lbs almost 33" long most were 3 to 6lbrs couple more people (rods) could of helped my odds but the sun and perfect buffy weather made up for the slow day,only had 2 whale watch boats come by probly should of stayed for another morning but i knew if i started i would of been home late for a evining oblagation at home,overall with the great weather it was a good trip,i might start doing some homework and try to figure these things out(walleye)and definatly bring some big lipped stickbaits for slow water steelhead trolling blk and silver,purple and silver,and grey and silver, i think any natural color would of got steelies..my biggest problem with the walleyes was my releases even set on the lightest settings would not trip so i would go through a hot spot and hook up but not know it so i had no waypoint reference to get back on them,,, next trip ill be ready ..Capt John thanks for the tip on location they were around more between 95ft to 80 ft 5 to 6 miles from port for me. oh yea 6 for 10 steelies one 10lbr did a 20ft tailwalk across the surface before spitting the bait..Ray K . as i say....................

Capt John ,i ant no proffesunal on volvo even if its a great engine maybe borderline could give a heads up on price of basic replacment parts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a friend of mine owns a marina and it was about 750.00 for a engine water pump,i dont know what moter he was quoting but that could be a concern if your budgets like mine ...0000000000000000 Ray K.
