Hasn't been much action posted on here recently. Hope very one's making it happen. Since turning Fifty ~ I completed my Personal Best Triple this week. (Dead Lift ~ Bench Press ~ Squat) Didn't quite reach my goal but that just keeps me working. Very Satisfied. A-Jay

Making The Memories. A-Jay

Yea, I don't know what to make of that one. It's got it's place though. Could be a complimentary, could be derogatory ~ works either way. A-Jay

Deep cover. Not visible, not shoreline, stuff that's challenging to discern even with the best of electronics. The type that I Never sit on if there are other anglers around but always camp out on at night. A-Jay

I've fished have a life time and caught some nice fish, always hoped to do better. I started going to places with bigger fish. Did better. I now agree with Woody Allen. "Eighty percent of success is showing up." A-Jay

As far as hoaxes go, this one is well-produced and elaborate. A-Jay

What defines Quality gear is often debated. High Dollar tackle is defined differently by anglers as well. Tackle that allows required dependable performance can be obtained without purchasing the best gear money can buy. In order to answer your question "Is High Dollar tackle required to be a good Fisherman ? I'll ask you one - How do you define a Good Fisherman ? Is it catching big fish, many fish, adaptability or perhaps sportsmanship ? Looking at that brief list - my stance is that the price of one's tackle plays a fairly limited role. A-Jay

I saw that one coming but it still made me LOL ~ . . Thanks A-Jay

I have. A couple of the more secluded lakes we fish, there are a couple of loons that really live up to their name. One that will swim right up to and under the canoe. With that crystal clear water, we get a very good look at it. Very pretty bird but still not something I want hanging around while we fish. We usually stop fishing for a bit and ( if after some encouragement on our part), it doesn't move, we do. A-Jay

I'll be a lot less sick of it in just over 2 weeks. A-Jay

It's not - That's the size that seems to be The Meanest ! The smaller ones I can usually grab behind the head and handle OK and the bigger ones do most of their work while on the end of the line so once in the net they are manageable. But there's something about that mid size fish - just seems to have some reserve energy - where they are just bound & determined to stick a hook in your hand . . . . A-Jay

Only 2 things ~ and they both revolve around Old Mr. Northern Pike. 1). When you get the strike and you set the hook, and the rod hits you right in the face - because a darn snot rocket has bitten you off - again. 2). A 10 pound pike with a face full of treble hooks just losing its mind in the net. Knowing at some point I have to get my bait back amongst all that insanity . . . . A-Jay

Nice ~ That's Fat Cat ! I guess we better pack some of dat Vie-eena Sausage for the trip south . . . . btw - it is rather coincidental that you're the one posting this up there Mr Bagre A-Jay
