Baaaaaah.
 

Just checked out the sun setting over my stomping grounds on the Backside camera, and I'll tell ya, 5 more months till I'm walking over or down the dunes to the waters edge with my waders stinking seems like an eternity. Too long.:crying: :drool: :soon: But until then, just gonna have to :gu: :gu: :gu: :gu: :gu: and then some to put back on the 15 pounds I lost last summer poundin' sand livin off of Jolt, Chew, and Snickers bars.
I think I am gonna have ta wet a line this weekend and see ifn't I can find myself one of them there striped ones Christian found last weekend or I am going to become really intolerable. At least with this thaw I'll have a better chance. Any one know where I can get some eels this time of the year? Besides, I told the woman I was done fishing for the year back in November. But what do ya know, tomorrow is a whole new year:poke: Game on:btu:

Redlite--just got rid of my last load. They were mostly monsters, 20" or so. Sold em' right before Christmas.

Good luck with the chew. Is tonight going to be your last? If it is then you'll go through a full tin. "One more. For old times sake."

Next year I'II keep the eels card up for a bit longer.

Happy New year guys.

game on dude:D

Today is "my last day" of chew. Think I'm just gonna swallow a whole tin, that way the thought of doing it ever again will make me so noxious I don't wanna do it anymore. 9 years of abusin my gums. Can't wait, especially with how expensive it is gettin to be. I went into a store the other day and they wanted almost 8 buckaroos for one. I laughed in their face. I was better off without it. Shouldn't be too tough until I start fishin again, drivin 2 hours each way with zero sleep to keep me awake for days on end. Especially since 2 of my good fishin buds chew too, and they ain't never gonna stop.

But Happy New Year to everyone. Tomorrow we can all start on those new years resolutions.....fish more....catch more......tick off the woman some more fishin'.......catch the fifty........And ya'll only got about 7 more hours to make a last ditch effort to follow through on last years' resloutions......................

Slingah 51.5" SWEEEEEEET Fish. Hats off :happy: :happy: :happy:

Good luck with kicking the chew Mike, and happy new years!
Hopefully the skunk goes with the chew when your out codfishin again :D
I've got an extra couple of 15lbs I'm looking to get rid of.

thanks goosefish:D

red---when the urge to dip hits ya, go to a drug store and pick up some nicotine gum. It'll kill the urge without rotting your gums. Go to a place that sells a house brand as well as Nicorette. You'll save about $15 on a 108 pack.

Ohh.... wait a darn tooten second here.. please explain what I hope this means????:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

Not sure if the spelling is correct. Card up = penned up. Or, the eels we keep in cages that we have on the bottom.
Lingo.

Oh sure.. a car. yes now I understand. I thought you meant card like "eels for sale". are you trapping your own eels?

I trap eels from May through November. Car em' up for my own use, and use them as barter with a couple of tackle stores in the area. I pot green crabs too, and do the same thing with them.

I've got the bait.

It's funny how little eeling I did this year. Mostly gave them away, and made a little Christmas money selling the bigs.

Thats cool. I've been playing with the idea of trying it next season in the N river. Who knows though.... It might be too much work.

I fish about 15 traps. It's easy for me because I work on the pond.
The key to eeling is the bait that you use and the times that you set the gear. I'II talk to you about the ins-and-outs of eeling, but don't want to spill the beans here.

Bravo!

It'll make for good conversation on saturday:D
