Yep, a beautiful day. Wind seemed to drop at 10:30 on the button. A raven flying by, a coot out for a swim. Shards of skim ice stacking up on shore with a sound like wind chimes. Stinky sitting on a bucket just thinking about getting old and healing up. One rod in the water with egg sacs and a high/low rig, the other rod chucking a kasty and a quick retrieve.Odd what you think about. Arizona redears, burial?, cremation? eaten by cats? Whoa, fish on. Fire up the Weber with some alder smoke.Slayer scores big as per usual.
Nice work all! I didnt hear of any Brewskis consumption in the fishing story. Hmmm
That goes without saying

It was great riding up with ya, Stinky -- did you smoke your fish up last night? Looked like a really nice fish. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on some alder wood...
Don't get in a hurry on that alder. I've still got a fair amount from that stash that the old cabinet maker gave me years ago up at Anterohole. Just need to slap some on the table saw to get it down to smokable size. I'm sure we'll meet up again.
You got one? Pics?
I can attest to Stinky’s fish — it looked like a great eater size! Man those fish are healthy out of that lake. Fatties. That sounds like an amazing meal, Stinky. I like the pairing of Sauvignon Blanc, although I’m more of a Pinot Grigio guy. Hey, Slayer — I‘d also like to know what became of your monstah. How did ya cook it? How about the koke?
Well slayer, i surely didn't need to go to Wyoming to catch those, should have just taken the offer, Oh well lesson learned. Good job getting on those kokes not an easy task a lot of times.
on his middle age waistline spread. Flesh was a deep pink in color and after a half hour on the Weber, bathed in alderwood smoke, proved to taste delicious accompanied by a wild and white rice mixture along with green peas. Served with a fruity New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, chilled, and furnished by Costco.What was the final result of that bruiser you reeled in?That other place we discussed has 4-5" of ice and is producing well though mostly in the 16-18" range. I'll be sleeping with my spikes around my neck this week. Who knows if it'll blow off like last year.
The kokes basically swam right up to me and waited for me to hook them!
