    Who needs a boat?!?

    Exhausted Husband? Lol, I’m a glutton. I’ve a dozen projects inside this winter and will just invent more if I run out. I think it keeps me from actually using my brain. You know, training myself to be a laborer in a future career. My wife is really a saint. She tolerates more than most would I...

    What reels do you have

    I have never touched a baitcaster but might try one for salmon. I sort of want to Pin them. If my luck on trophy sized kings holds I don’t think I can handle a king on one. Debating tackling Striper on them too, hahahaha. It fits my natural style anyway. I drift with every type of setup so a...

    Who needs a boat?!?

    The Brazilian Cherry bench was from our 1st anniversary. Dirt floor poor, our wedding photographer was the only “splurge”. He was a Magazine Photographer. At JC Raulston’s Arboretum in Raleigh there is a huge hidden bench between ancient Cedars. We snuck behind chain guards to get a photo there...

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    I have to try and freeze the frame on videos of fish spawning at Weissport canal too this spring. I can’t recall the color patterns but wild colors I recall and sucker like mouths. Forgot until I found a video on my phone looking for something else.

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    Few 13-14” rainbow on the reservoir side of FEW. Saw something on surface out a ways all afternoon but couldn’t tell what. Looked like fins so maybe carp. Out from the boat launch. Saw two 24” fish on the surface that looked a lot like rainbow. Got me to thinking, I don’t see/hear much about...

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    Sure you weren’t on the Lehigh? We had a mated pair swoop by a week or so back. A pair of hawks are carrying on in the yard calling all day. Sound whimpy honestly and wife is distraught the one eared squirrel she’s hand fed 3 years is MIA. I didn’t point out she had me pour a few 50 lbs bags of...

    [Archived] What did you Buy Today?

    I’m wondering if a yak will get me to the “deathly hollow” easier than a Cararaft/Raft with fishing frame will. I sort of scaled back to 12-13’ for the portages, then realized I only wanted a big raft or raft at all to haul kids and the little 12.5’ with frame didn’t really accommodate more than...

    Calendars

    Thought maybe PAA designed a calendar with A-5, Mel, and a few others were posing or something. Almost couldn’t open the thread then I got to wondering what it was about, lol. No offense, I was relieved, Oct and Nov can’t get here soon enough. Back hurts and somehow even with all the physical...

    Is anyone doing any fishing

    Course, A-5 wants to make the 3+ mile death March to try I’ll find time. Last 1/4 mile or so is about like rock climbing only loose forest debris and side hilling just enough to somehow make it even worse and 3x as far. Neighbor swears 4:30 AM is the time. By my est after a bunch of trips I’d...

    Is anyone doing any fishing

    Yep, passed by MC creek on my way somewhere, water was ice cold so must be spring between lake and where I go. Every pool had 13-15” trout. Even after rains it was so low I could have netted all in one swoop, sad,,, the other spot is hard access but def worth it. I’m whooped, had the new...
