Ham Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 It's been a jacked up year for my fishing. I know lots and lots of people hand real world problems and I have a few of my own, but my fishing obsession has not been getting enough of a workout. Well...we closed on our Mountain Home house. We took a beating on it, but I no longer have two house notes and two big yards to keep up. I also no longer have my old truck. It had been in rapid decline for a few months and I decided to replace it. I "took advantage" of year end savings and got an ok trade in i the old Avalanche. I'm in the little brother truck of Little Red Fisherman. He got it with the 6.2. I got it with the 5.3. Same model/same color. I hope to figure all the gadgets out before it's time to replace it. So, from here until the end of the year, I intend to fish often even if some of my trips are short. Still got the multispecies thing going on, but trying to get to 2500 fish for the year. Fair Warning Fish, I'm coming for you. To that end, Stein called. He's making a flying trip down to check on his place and we are going to try to sore mouth some trout here in a little bit. grizwilson, duckydoty, Johnsfolly and 3 others 6 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Ham Posted October 8, 2017 Author Posted October 8, 2017 Really crappy bite. I caught 10 in 3 1/2 hours. stein got this 19 inch Brown though Johnsfolly, Gavin, grizwilson and 2 others 5 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Stein Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 As always a good trip, regardless of what is caught. Looking forward to Jigfest as I'm sure that is the next time I will be down here. A good day for me is showing up after being gone for a few months and I don't have a squatter that has kicked in the door and living in my house and fishing with a friend, regardless of the number caught. Thanks for the outing Ham. Johnsfolly, Daryk Campbell Sr, grizwilson and 1 other 4

gotmuddy Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 I feel your pain. I have been focusing more on saltwater fishing the past year, which is a big reason why I have been AWOL from here. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
RSBreth Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 With my stupid leg injury I was out most of the summer. Trying to make up for it now also. Tons of Honey-Do's to do though ..... Ham 1
