What to do when ther is no ICE!
« on: Jun 19, 2007, 05:17 PM »
Go catch a few of these!  I landed this 41in striper and my buddy landed the 44in striper in the bottom pic.  All from a kayak!  These were just the big ones of the night.  there were many more fish!  What a blast.  Come on billditrite   lets see some pics!

Fish in the shack, while smoking a few cigs. D##n! That's a good day for me.

nice fish - that must have been a blast in a kayak.

In the summer I mostly golf and do some open water fishing, but the majority of the time on the water is spent mapping a lake into my gps for ice fishing (drop off, weed lines etc..)

In the fall I hunt - preferably with a bow.

I just started playing Disc golf with Rl. I must say what a freaking blast that sport is . The people are quit friendly too much like most that one would meet on the ice .
Thanks RL for introducing me to it.

Glad that you enjoy it. It is a nice alternative to other sports, can be done rather quickly as oppossed to consuming your entire day, and little adjustments in technique can yield huge dividends. Quite rewarding. It is also exciting to play new courses, and with over 80 in the State we have no shortage.
Not to mention you have picked up the sport in light speed!

Well, I was working and playing semi-pro football till I got my ACL and MCL torn in my left knee. So now I'm not working nor playing football, so I get to go fishing a lot more now.
The fishing is always great, the catching however, always isn't

paint, fix the porch, build a cabinet for the camp, cut the grass, trim the hedges, paint, and then paint some more!

P.S. Amazing fishes Stephan!  How long did they pull you around in your kayaks?

I was on the sleigh ride for about 10 minutes before she came to the side of the boat.  and even then she did not want to be nice.  There is nothing dry about kayak fishing for these pigs!

summertime is for overtime!
it's amazing how many fools would rather have time off in the summer than in the winter!

Heading out to the garage to work on my portable in about 10 minutes .  When I get that done the fun starts. I just picked up a fiberglass camper called a Burro, going to convert into my Shanty  :thumbsup: If I can ever figure out how to add pics , I will add a couple .

Check out my earlier post...build a cabinet for the camp.
Also, look carefully in the background...you might see some ice fishing related stuff.

Thanks for the compliment, but notice it's not a close up!
I don't have the right tools or the place to work, but I managed.
We could have just bought something, but it wouldn't have been
the right dimensions, plus, it will match the camp interior walls.

I has earned me some major brownie points with the wife though.
She didn't even question my recent impluse purchase of an Old Town
Pack canoe.
