I had cleaned out all the fishing stuff from the boat and put the cushions back in it so my wife and daughter could go on a comfortable boat ride and some swimming yesterday on Canandaigua. During the process I had to rip apart my usual noodles that I keep on the bimini top supports with nearly 200 spoons on it and extract 4 plastic boxes of spoons numbering in the hundreds. I placed them in the back of my Expedition along with some salmon stuff and 8 rods and reels large net etc. so the back was totally full of stuff with the boxes of lures and stuff on noodles at the very back because I expected to put the stuff back in the boat when I returned home. We had a nice time for several hours at the north end and then when it was time to go home I brought the boat to the dock and then put it on the trailer secured it and on an angle went to pull it out of the water .....then it happened....all four boxes full of lures and the others on pieces of styrofoam (which I intended to re do when I got home) slid out of the back and into 3 foot of dirty water and immediately sunk because of the weight. I got out and with my hip boots on felt around (luckily no water snakes present ) and retrieved all of them eventually ....but the boxes were full of water so when I got home I had to open them up and spead spoons out on the cellar floor to dry out. I took a pic after two of the boxes and did the others later in another part of the cellar...what a pain....if I had just remembered to close the back lid on the Expedition....but I forgot about the lures. Now I'm dreading having to sort them out again

You certainly picked two very accomplished fishermen to go with and it sounds as though you had a fish fest Anyone take any pics or were you too busy ?

Hy Nick the boat looks like something out of the Chainsaw Massacre

pretty neat Sean....haven't seen one in years. they can be pretty good scrappers too...not someting you want to "corner"

Back in the old days when I was a lot crazier than now (early 80's) I used to chase the steelies out 10 or 12 miles out with my litlle 13 ft Whaler and those things would be going by me and some of the guys on board would either scratch their heads or just look at me in disbelief and some of the ships had 23 or 25 foot dingys on board

Remember Nick it is Lake O.....not all those hooks are trout or salmon

Thanks Dave

Dave - Sheila looks like she is getting used to grabbing the rod and holding up fish afterward... you're going to have to practice getting faster on the draw Nice going!

John you have a PM

Hey Frogger can you call me on my cell I don't have your number

Nice going fellas! Nothing like breaking the little guys in seeing some Lake O fish but on the downside......the pressure will be on when you go to Seneca to get the big boys Might be a good day for an ice cream Mike

Beautiful fish and classic coloration for this time in the season

Thanks Pap....it's my favorite fishing then too for browns rainbows and perch.

Great Justin. I haven't forgotten about getting together on Seneca either bud . You've been hammering those eyes this season too I sure wouldn't be releasing many walleyes like I do the trout . Give me a call when you're in the mood and the weather is doable and we can set it up.

Sweet!
