    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    I won't say much on the subject because the internet is scoured for such things. I'm dead inside with things that have happened, done, not done and been said. It has altered my thinking, personality and the way I view everything. Other than that I love it and it buys me fishing gear lol

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    I have a theoretical exit plan in a few years. I made a few stupid decisions with taking on payments for a few things I wanted (the boat is one but $100/month isn't bad). Once I pay for my stupidity I hope to be in a better position to work less, fish more. The money and vacation time is great...

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    My expertise is chemical production, coming up on 30 years. My real expertise is enduring conditions, hazards and a level of stress most won't. We are short on people so OT is limitless. If I make retirement, I will have earned it. That is a big if though. I have my doubts.

    [Archived] What did you Catch Today?

    Went for trout and the bite was off. Fought the wind and cold more than fish. I had a nice Bass on but he bent the treble hook and got away. Caught 5 small Pickerel. Shiela caught a Pickerel and a Perch. Not a banner day but we both caught. Then I destroyed the yard work, now I'm ready for back...

    Holsinger

    As soon as my new shed gets delivered this week I can clear out the storage locker and get all the rest of our fly tying stuff set up. This looks like the first one I want to try.

    Trout Derby 2021

    If we are lucky we are taking the boat out tomorrow for the first time this year. Between week day over time, department over time and mandatory Sat once a month I'm finding it difficult to fish like I did. Especially with projects around the new house. What I lacked in talent I made up for in...

    Trout Derby 2021

    Hit a secret trout spot in the rain. First cast, first fish. I caught 3 total on spinners and had a much nicer one on but got off half way home. They were all on the small side otherwise but fun.

    Trout Derby 2021

    Hit Tobyhanna today and steady picked 12+ Brookies. I didn't get a pic with each but here are 3 entries. Felt good to land a few on my fav ultra light set up. I took a few swings with the fly rod but no good. I took Friday off as my first official fish and forget work day.

    Raritan Bay Stripers 04/03/2021

    I used to live not far from Raritan Bay. I always wanted to chase them on a kayak. My Dad and I used to fish for Blues from the shore. We had one our best days ever on an old boat he owned in Raritan Bay in my teens. Fish after fish after fish. Looks like you had a good day!

    Well how did everyone make out

    We tried Promised Land and it was dead. I saw one fish on a stringer. We went to Tobyhanna and it was extra dead. I didn't see a single fish pulled in. Rough start but it's a start.

    Night Time Lows

    Hopefully this is the last cold snap. The house is pretty well set inside now that we moved. The driveway needs to be expanded, trees downed and cut up. The yard needs curb appeal. I'm actually considering a tractor for property maint. We hand shoveled 44 tons of stone by hand and wheel barrow...

    Who's going for opener

    Talked with my Dad and between cold temps, COVID as you know nobody respects space and his health he is sitting this one out. We might too, I did it religiously for years. The last 5 or so I'd be the one getting there way early to get my Dad a spot he liked. He would come down just before the...

    Let?s See Your Rig!

    It really has been nice getting on the river. Even on electric only lakes it's nice to sit down and use the foot control to back boat the hell out of your passenger ;) Catch all my damn fish for me huh? Not unless my intended species is Squirrel lmao :)

    Let?s See Your Rig!

    See if it works this time? Basically it was a new old stock 2012 Voyager Marine and trailer with a new 40 HP jet. It sat so it's a little weather beaten but puts us on the river when we don't feel like paddling or wading.

    Toothy friends

    I think it's 18" as Don said although I see people throw them into the woods or take home stringers full of smaller ones.
