Maybe a Roster with Head Count to for pizzas. I’ll probably run back to town to pickup so they are hot but if the plan is to eat soon after folks show I’ll have to pickup just before everyone shows. I’ll buy for the group unless A-5 has extended family show and they each have a half dozen teens...
Guys in Pulaski criticized some using a glove. I mentioned using latex/nitrile to keep hands warm and received the same criticism. Hate to tell people, my skin removes slime coat as well. I’ve raised exotic fish my entire life and any stress seems to hurt their external immune system(slime coat).
Pics in net never look right but leaving fish in net until I’m pic ready then just cradling them quick they recover even in warming water at dock. When it got above 72 we couldn’t remove from water even for a second or we had floaters. Even lip hook, quick released struggled.
Probably a waste...
Better or worse with the monster browns at the dock I ended up with size 16-18 wire hooks and with them bottom feeding way out there if they swallowed I clipped. Not very often but happens. I noticed pulling hooks even in colder water we had floaters. Many fish had two to three hooks in their...
Horrible humor aside, I release most in net using hemostats. For early season brutes I’ll hold cradled for a pic. If I get a hard recovery I keep them. I run micro barb wire hooks mostly which helps a bit.
Gamakatsku trout hooks are fine wire trebles though. For those you step on tail while pulling. Only way to get them pricey suckers back. Don’t worry, even if the fish is completely upside down after the fast current helps it recover somewhere down stream.
Throw em on bank for pics, then grab the line to get a better look at the gut hook from my PB, finally yank/twist/pull the hook out to not have to retie. Toss back near the waters edge and bend over to wash the blood off,,,,, bears gotta eat too,
I do worry all that radiating energy in my ear will give me cancer. I burn through at least a book or two a week. Heck, in my older vehicles I even drive with them in since the head unit isn’t Bluetooth. Been meaning to look for a good quality but affordable headset and swap my 7.3 SD and Sienna...
Hahaha, maybe
TS, same problem here. I also seem to misplace the tiny case a lot. The larger JLAudio set stays in better even after the rubber ring fell off on one. I like the light weight AirPods but they’ve fallen a few times into mud puddles and almost into the river a time or two. Might...
Plus I realized this past week, I have 0 lake fishing stuff now really. Poles I can make work but I’m a bait guy all day long. Guessing like anywhere hurl a Minnow/shiner and everything from large brim, crappie, pickerel, and bass will come to dinner.
I live 5 mins away and have been to the lake exactly 2x. Once we hiked into check creek at outflow. Second time this year kids took me to the beach. I’m sure I’ll figure it out though. Gotta leave this page open so I can tell the boss. Long as coast is clear I can bring the pizzas if that’s the...
Try a Vietnamese “100th day” party. Basically a baby shower after the baby is born. We showed at 8 pm for a 6pm party and where the first guests. They trickled in until midnight including all ages of kids. The garage was a big tv, karaoke machine, couchs on 3 sides, and two fridges double deep...
Planned a day chasing fish before going back to work. Turned into 2 hours but my piece of heaven was raging and fish survived the drought. I didn’t make my favorite holes before dark but caught a few natives and a few stockies.
The stocked pond at kids campground we just left had crappie mixed in. All I had were jigs, bubblegum worms, those preserved crickets(never caught a thing ever on those), and a few spinners. Plus SLs flies but only had an hour. Lost 4 kinds of fish at shore but all tiny. Most on a dull spinner...
A-5, I need a dozen with white bead lol. I don’t use as many as my Brother but he snags ALOT. I also noticed water must’ve gotten in my box. Spinners dull, steelhead jigs/hooks rusted in spots, etc. Sort of bummed there. My pack isn’t waterproof but I didn’t dry it out from rain but even...
