  1. It's not roofing like on houses it's all flat roofs tar and rubber some times stone I think. Tomorrow I start be there bright and early for a safety brief idk if I go to the job site tomorrow or not. Pretty sure they are doing the roof on the college this summer so eye candy well working lol.
  2. That's awesome and can double for being from Buffalo also as all them work even did a few today (ac on then heat then on and then heat again lol)
  3. Thanks I just went and got the "blue book" to logy hours for raises and to go from apprentice to journeymen. They still gotta do some more research on the helmets to hard hats thing I guess. She also said there is another program for guard/reserve members to get paid extra for still being a actively drilling member and working in the union also.
  4. And to think I was supposed to go with you! I can stitch too, have braid, small drop shot hooks, lighter.........coulda done t on the water and kept fishing
  5. Chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles lol
  6. Took the boy fishing again was a bit slower today the bluegill wernt as active like yesterday when they devoured the worm soon as it touched the water. He managed to catch probably 10 bluegill all fairly small one good sized one and he kept every one despite my protest. He was having a serious case of ADD didnt care what so ever about fishing more interested in sticks and dandelions. When I did hook into a fish he dropped everything and fought it. He also kept getting the fish out of the bucket ad laying them in the grass facing each other making them "fight". I packed one caster with my magic lure so far this year the white booyah spinnerbait. once i realized he wasnt caring to much I busted it out while he ran around playing. I got 1 pike one green fish one brown fish handed the pole over to Noah I bring in just helped him hold the rod up so not to loose the fish. He had a blast again even got treated to ice cream between spots where we got the SMB.
  7. Lol yeah that's roofing season though. I couldn't pass it up great benefits great pay get all winter off to hunt and ice fish I get out around 4pm so still have time to fish at night. Raise every 6 months also as long as I go to class at the union hall 2 times a week
  8. Just got the phone call iv been waiting for to start work with the roofers union doing commercial roofing. I start at 7 on Thursday my days of sitting home all day with my two sons are over.
  9. This morning I heard him coming to wake me up and he came in my room at 730 first thing he says " daddy get up when Oma gets out of work she gonna watch baby Jack and were going fishing again by the falls so I can try and catch a big bass" towards the end he was trying for bass with a mr twister but didnt have any luck.
  10. He will be 4 next month this is his 3rd season fishing I got him started young his mother was fishing two days before being induced so he was fishing really young ya can say lol. He had a blast though he loves to fish and hunt.
  11. Had the best day out this year and was out fished by size and by number of fish caught. Who out fished me but none other then my son Noah. He managed to catch around 30 bluegill and 1 crappie in about 1.5 hrs. He picked the spot also the first spot I picked and we didn't even get a bite ad he kept begging he wanted to go across by the falls. So I took him over by the falls and first cast he got a nice sized blue gill then another and another almost every cast and the first 10 or so were good sized so we put em in a bucket and I fried them up tonight thought he only ate 1 small piece before passing out but it was almost 2 hours past his bed time by the time I cleaned them and got everything in order to make them. I managed maybe 5 blue gill all dinks not even worth keeping and even he let me know it. He did want to keep one for his baby brother he said since it was a baby fish lol. The crappy was his first ever I was so excited for him and it was a good sized crappie probably 15" I was so proud of him. He got it all by him self I bait the hook but he did all the rest. The whole time he kept saying how blue gill are the best fish ever and how proud he was lol he had a blast as did I. I usually don't fish when we go but he's got a good grasp on the concept I just let him fish but then he kept telling me to put a bobber on and catch some fish so that's what I did well tried.
  12. That's pretty sweet I want one lol
  13. I think part of the reason I rush a lot of times is I'm on a time crunch 30 minutes here 2 hours there just randomly able to go. So I'm in a rush to get fish. Drop shot and shaky head I'm the worst with I'm able to slow down at times with the jig it's usually when I cast and get side tracked or something making me not retrieve right away like a back lash then I get bit after that long pause and a light bulb goes off and I slow down and start catching.
  14. I do fish a t rig or jika and feel the bottom a bit. I can fish cranks and spinnerbaits slow but it's the sit and wait type presentations I have a hard time with. Jerkbaits, senko, jigs in cold weather, drop shot all things that require long pauses I can't do I pause for like 3 seconds get bored and move the bait.
  15. How do you guys force your self to fish slow? I know I need to but I fish like iv got a IV of redbull in my veins lol. Im so used to in alot of my spots tossing a jig into trees and logs or rock piles and picking fish instantly not really having to fish slow just going down the bank pitching jigs in and ripping fish out. That doesn't exactly work this time of year or even in the summer but does most the time in the summer and fall. I need to force my self to slow down way down idk how to do it.

  17. Same here I fish solo 90% of the time I take pics of every fish just about. My arm only goes so far to get the fish in the frame. I usually catch smaller fish so it's not bad but the few times I get something big especially pike I wish I had some one else their to take the pic instead of just getting its head in the pic because they are so long.
  18. It's my ring back tone my gf hates it especially since I blew her off all weekend to go fishing lol and will do the same this weekend due to a huge trout derby. Then there's fishing in the dark for girls who like to go with ya.
  19. It was very slow out here for me also got one green fish one brown. The bucket fisherman made out good the one had 37 bullhead and 20 something bluegill.

    Had a slow day on the water today. Another mixed bag managed 4 fish today had a few more hits but couldn't connect. My buddy came out who just bought a brand new ride 115 kayak he managed 1 pike all day. I kinda felt bad he's been seeing all the fish iv been catching he went out bought the kayak and drove out here ad we couldn't get on the fish but we still had a blast got a little sun burnt though.
  21. How could you forget brad paisley - I'm gonna miss her
  22. Haha it snowed today actually but I managed 1 on a tube
  23. That's encouraging thanks. I'm gonna feel bad my buddy is driving over a hour out here and he just bought a brand new Ride 115 kayak and rigged it up. He seen all my pics on FB of the bass, trout, and pike and wants in on the action. So I gotta get him on some fish plus I haven't seen him in about 5 or 6 years now.
