Fishing 2013

[vharrison]

V, did you find any bugs?

Not yet, we finally went Saturday, but it was windy and the water was churned up just enough to make it hard to find the holes. We gave up after trying to find 2 holes. Maybe next weekend. This work thing really gets in the way!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ain't that the truth!!!

 

[vharrison]

Finally! 2 1/2 hours of work, food for the week!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, I didn't know you could harvest so many lobsters. Cool!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Amazing! Easy on the butter!

 

[vharrison]

Wow, I didn't know you could harvest so many lobsters. Cool!

In our county, you can get six per person per day. That said, we did not get our limit but were happy with the catch.

John shot another one yesterday. Guess what he is having for dinner

 

[MasterBlaster]

Not chicken nuggets, I bet!

Ok, new to the forum, don't really know enough about tree work to contribute much info in that department. Fishing on the other hand, thats a different story. I Had a pretty busy year this year, got engaged, moved, new job, etc... So my fishing season suffered. Here are some highlights from 2013, hopefully i get some more free time to spend on the water this winter/spring.

 

[HBP]

[MasterBlaster]

[rskybiz]

Yea buddy some nice ones! Where ya located? Guessing NY but the river bank throws me off.

 

[HBP]

Thanks gang, i will do some digging and put up some good ones soon. Im located in northeast ohio, 25 minutes east of cleveland. Country boy that recently moved to town. There is a lot of goof water around here, pretty excited about checking it out.

 

[Tucker943]

You do any walleye fishing?

 

[HBP]

A few times every year we have go on a family walleye trip, i wish i had access to a boat, i would go more often. Caught them on the fly during the spring run a few times as well.

 

[woodworkingboy]

We used to have a great fisherman here at the forum, named Jeff. Some amazing salt water fish he would pull in from his boat. Too bad he isn't participating here these days. Got hitched I think, stationed up in Alaska now I believe.

 

[Tucker943]

I go up to Oak Harbor each spring.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yep, ole Jeff... he up and left us.

sturgeon I speared on lake winnebago today. 80.3lbs 68.4 inches long. What a rush that was

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow! I speared a barracuda once, but the danged thing slipped off. It was a rush! He was about that size...

 

[Tucker943]

You have walleye there in your neck if the woods guy? Nice sturgeon. I've never even seen one. Hats off to you.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I have not heard of spearing them but I know that people here snag paddle fish and sturgeon out of the Missouri.

I would probably fall into the hole if i saw a sturgeon that big coming up. Nice fish.



Biggest fish I caught last year.

At least my son was impressed!



My daughter's was much better!

 

[mek]

Yes there are walleye in the lake. It is a 137000 acre lake.

This is from a couple of years ago. I was fishing at Dog Island when this blacktip stole a fish off my hook. I had a rod rigged with a steel leader and dropped him half a ladyfish and the fight was on. He made about a 150 yard smoking run and then there were some terrific yanks. All of a sudden I was gaining line easily and I thought he was swimming back towards the boat. When he came up beside the boat I saw why. Looked like a big bull did the deed. Ouch
