Deadstream

Dang!

Crawdad good..... Dove, fun to shoot at, I would rather eat pea's...

Wow, Deadliest Catch has nothing on that. Was the Shoot Out a drag or Hydro planes like the 80"s? Or was it a tourney start?

Northwest winds and rain has made fishing terrible. It has been really good for early runs, supposed to get frost tonight, big coho and kings are in the rivers. Best in many years.

Not the ground hogs fault you napped the afternoon away. Are you just letting it get fat?

I think McGregor is in a win , win situation. He is not expected to win, if he does it's a win. Money(what this is all about) is a win. Will he take a beating, maybe, but he does that every time he gets in the cage. Write me that check and I will climb in that ring as soon as I finish this bowl of ice cream.

Just got back from the not so secret fishing hole, A great beaver pond that holds some Monster Brookies late in the year. They responded well to spider flies/poppers. Anyway, I also ran across a handful of young "adults" that had trashed the area. They told this old man to mind my own business and f.off. I am not a cop caller but I will call the DNR. I did, local guy was in the area, He responded and 4 out of 7 had wants and warrants. This is way!!!! out in the boonies, just lucky he was near. The other 3 cleaned up the mess and promised me payback. I have a ccw permit from Missouri that allows me to carry in Michigan, I didn't need it this time but kids are getting crazy anymore. Sad we can't park our trucks and fish anymore, and that some of these kids were son's of friends.

Nothing wrong with Bear, Cougar, Bobcats and Wolves/Coyotes running wild. As an NW Arkansas, Northern Michigan kid that has spent thousands of hours in the hills and swamps I have never seen any of the above that didn't haul posterior when we met. Spent years in the Military, never had a problem. ( I do hate leaches ) I'm at my Michigan fish camp, worse thing here is black flies and skeeters. We just keep the trash tight and bird feeders empty in the spring

Carnahan and McCaskill. Crooks! Shameless.

Yaack! Curdled milk is disgusting! Give me pea's, Brussel sprouts and spinach/turnip/collard greens anyday ! Brook trout are really biting well in Michigan. The flies and skeeters are terrible! When I learn how to post pictures I will share. Smallies have been very catchable, they get stringred up here a lot.

In Northern Michigan now. Like Wrench said, prepare for blood loss. Brutal!!! Big Mepps combo killers, Pike.. red and white daredevils, chartuse spinner baits and of course your plastic. Long sleeves and bug dope!

The lake is enjoyed by all. Does everybody like a 4 flight bass tourney blowing out at daylight? A drunken frat party on the river ? A rock and roll band on the dock? No. But we have to share. I like peace and quite but those days are over, it's the new kids and the silly bankers that loan them the money for wake boats, etc. I wish I could shut down bad behavior but I am older and realize that it won't happen. Like Al says, sometimes it's to late.

Anybody fish in Ireland? I am going 5 Oct. till 20 Oct. My host is a resident sortta (he has a home there). Can Non Residents fish there? Supposedly his family has 'river rights' and they have something like a river master? Anybody?

Great Picture! Don't let Champ beat on you, He took plenty of pictures like that back before he got old. Champ is like the old guy that hollers when you get your ball on his grass. Promise he's the guy that makes sure the 19th hole is squared away.

Yep, If you can cast that Ambassador you can cast anything. The bird nests I made with those. I still have them on my Catfish poles.
