Fishermen Don't Die !!!

The old saying goes "Fishermen Never Die They Just Smell That Way" is no longer true. I think that all the fishermen on this forum are dead.

Hello - Hello is anyone out there?
I think their all dead - - - or their lines went limp, or their rods broke, or their favorite hole dried up or something tragic like that happened to them. I can't believe that they would just stop fishing. If there is a live fisherman around there is always one or two with some kind of WHALE TALE to tell.

Hello - Helloooooooooo out there.

Thank you Old Hickory! I think we need that. It just seems to have lowed down quite a bit, I have not been able to get out much do to being busy and mother nature blowing down on me when I am not, I check the site every day but do not hve anything to post and I guess no one else does either, But come on guys lets talk about something someone must be fishin..

i went fishing on sunday with kokanee king but i will let him tell you guys about that, hes better at makin stuff up

Damn we caught a 17 pound cutt-bow on four pound test fishing of bluegill in 3 feet of water with a safty pin and some gum. but besides that it sucked.

waht about you old hickory? have you had any interesting adventures on the water lately, maybe we can get some stories goin

A bunged up old man like me dont have adventures any more, we just try to remember the ones we had a long time ago. The last one I had was about three month ago when I went in for a colonoscopy, boy was that an adventure. :eek: I dont get out much in this kind of weather (it's hard on my old bones), the boat is all covered for winter and the gear is all put away. Just set around and sort of watch Oprah, Dr. Phil & Jerry Springer all day. :D

yea, this time of year mosst of my adventures are of the hunting type, and the majority of time spent is doing homework

Homework!!! this is your senior year there is no time for Home Work... this is fishin time!

o yea your right koke, i forgot not that i actually do it anyways, i just sit and look at it some times

the thought is all that counts.

I went for crappie on union the other night from that walkway and had a couple bites but thats it. Just fishing about a foot off the bottom with a jig, red body yellow tail.

I haven't been out for crappie in about a week but they were stacked up pretty heavy and biting good. They have moved to the winter holes already.

Went fishing for chum salmon Sat-n-Sun. Caught about 40 of them over the weekend. Most where between 8 and 15lbs with a few near 20. All boots but a lot of fun to catch. Also hooked my first winter Steelhead on Sat but lost him to a stick-up. Mastafisher made it out with me yesterday and got to tangle with a few of those badboys. I'll let him post what happened.

Heading back for chum on turkey day for a few hours in the early morning if anyone wants to meet up. Also, I'll be on Union Saturday night if the weather holds. I'll have an open seat I'm sure.

let just say it wasnt too pretty. Im gonna re gear up and ill be out there turkey day early, along with urban. This time ill be prepared. And ill be hitting union crappie sometime, not sure which day(s) yet. This time ill tie up some jigs to bring...and lose.

can't wait to get my first chum,i don't care if they are ugly because their size makes up for it and thats all that matters if you catch and release mostly anyways, lookin forward to it!

Make sure have at least 14lb test. Anything less and the Chum will laugh at you :D. Grab a few foam dink floats, heavy split shot, some pink jigs and you're ready 4 war. We're gonna have a blast out there.

I think you did good for your first time Chum fishing. It took me three fishing trips to hook one when I started out. And you're right, I need to tie up some more jigs as well. I think I'm going to use a little heavier leader this time as well. I was using 12lb leaders but got broke off a few times when I shouldn't have. I can't wait to hit the water again. Hope to see you guys out there.

I would go out too, if I could make it but I am hostin thanksgiveing this year so i can not squezz in the time. but i messed around with some chums this summer and miss that power so I am going to see if I can get out soon.

This time Im armed with a 8'6" spinning rod, 30lb power pro, dink float, slinky weight, pink jig. 15lb test leader. Im not messing around, Its over for mr. and ms. chummey.

whatever masta, so you going to make it out for the bite on union?

That's what I'm talking about. Strapped to the teeth. This is going to be called the Thanksgiving Day Massacre :D. I'll be at the trailhead at first light again. Just let me know if you want to meet by the bridge again...or just meet up on the water.

I think I know the way now, so ill see you on the water.

so what happened on union after I left, you guys start killing em?

actually we kind of started doin a little better, went to a different spot and i caught six, a couple of them were pretty nice, all in all it probably wasn't great for and experienced crappie fisherman but i was glad to finally get my first few fish

Yeah it was kind of weird we were fish crappie at night in 30 feet of water... BUt what ever it worked, how did you do on turkey day masta?

I got some chums
