    What's Cooking?

    Foghorn replied to ness's topic in Food

    Ness, had the exact thing happen in California last summer. Staying at a motel waiting to get ready for my niece's wedding and spoke with a couple at the pool. They had a foreign dialect with their English and I'm sure my "Ozarks" English threw them off. They were from Switzerland, where my paternal great grandparents came from and the lady had lived in the same town. When I pronounced my last name, she said "No, it's pronounced this way". 64 years old and pronounced it wrong all these years.

    Prayers from our family for you JD. We had another scare with my wife Susie this summer and she is also a two time cancer survivor.

    Took my Dad on his last trip in May of 2000. He caught a bunch of big bluegill and his 3rd bout with cancer was about to get the best of him. We fished maybe an hour and a half and decided that was good enough for his last trip. The next morning, a Sunday, Mom called and said"your Dad wants to go one more time if it's alright." Of course it was and Mom who rarely misses Church along with my wife and older brother all went along too! Your story Marty hit home and brought back some good memories.

    Don't think you could actually sneak anything by Miss Sandy!

    Gavin is correct especially in Wisconsin. Folks there keep a lot of fish regardless of how or where thy are hooked. Lots of broken rods etc. especially in Racine. Haven't seen the behavior as bad in Michigan but again you aren't shoulder to shoulder.

    OTF, my info came from Baldwin Bait and Tackle's website as far as the salmon run report. They have a nice shop in Baldwin and good selection of gear be it fly,spinning or bait. Water was super in 2013 in Michigan and later in Wisconsin and we had a great trip with wife's first king on the PM in the 30# range. Last couple years the runs have been down-rumored the fish stocked over the years to eat the alewives did too good a job. Let us know if you go how it turns out please.

    Some early reports on the PM are saying some 30# kings being caught and good numbers in the Lake. We've gone probably 10 trips over the last 15-20 years and have used fly rods from 7-10 weight . Used a TFO BVK in an 8 weight in a 4 piece model that weighs 3.2 ounces. Have handled kings pushing 30#'s and not worn out from a day of casting and fighting fish on a heavier rod. Not as expensive as a lot of the higher end rods and scored really well on "Yellowstone Anglers" 8 weight shootout a couple of years ago. Only downside is it doesn't come with a rod case.

    Enjoyed seeing Darrell and the Taney gang at Roaring in the winter C&R season and while at Taneycomo. Sorry to hear of his passing.

    It was really interesting looking at Al's work in school compared to what the rest of us called art work.

    There's a short video of Charlie Reading from Bennett Springs fishing there. Some mighty big fish from several websites I've visited.

    Sounds a lot like my Susie. She would rather go fishing and hunt mushrooms than go shopping. And always wants to make sure I have enough fly tying gear to tie what we like to throw. We went fishing on our 2nd date(her idea) and we are coming up on 36 years of marriage.

    Wife and I have found 40 in a couple trips in the old Lead Belt area.

    Al,probably older brother on that part. I went with a group of 4-5 on a scouting-clear the road trip in then tore up my right ankle sliding into 2nd base in summer ball practice. I sat home but heard a lot of good stories so I knew I had missed one heck of a trip. Somebody had taken the regular base and replaced it with a pitching rubber and it didn't budge..

    What was that secret hot plug on the camping trip to Coffman back along time ago-the "inch minnow"?
  22. Foghorn
    Was thinking more of an "alien" but looks good and evidently produces pretty well too!

    That's a tough spot speaking from experience to get them going-deep water unless you get to lower end of the pool. Watched what appeared to be a pretty good fishermen release a couple big fish only to have them bottom out. Stepped in the water a couple holes down from the twin falls to work with one I thought was ready to go and watched it swim off only to sink. Congrats to the Mrs. on a couple tanks.
  24. Foghorn
    How did the release go ?
  25. Foghorn
    Sounds like a heck of a trip,Norm!
