The weather tomorrow is gonna be a beauty and its time for me to start getting my fishing muscles in shape! Gonna start out with some trout fishing.....that should shake the cob webs off a little!

Who else is gonna be wetting a line this weekend?

beamie · 03-10-2006, 08:47 AM

Ah,

The old question.....If fishing is a sport am I an athlete?

Flaptail · 03-10-2006, 08:59 AM

a. I have been walking and b., Tommorow morning on the lower Cape I and LaFleur will be "trouting" and walking some beach fronts to speculate on the soon to be here season.

Pete F. · 03-10-2006, 09:15 AM

I think I know where there will be some big Pike to test plugs on.

hooked · 03-10-2006, 09:31 AM

I think I'll just buy bigger pants and wait for May.

vineyardblues · 03-10-2006, 09:39 AM

What Slip said , the only thing I have to add to that is: I will need a cooler now for the next 8 months

I will DEFINITELY be out tomorrow testing out some new stuff.
I was thinking about trout, but I think I rather stand on the beach and cast to get myself in the surfcasting mind set again.

The Dad Fisherman · 03-10-2006, 10:07 AM

I've been atrying to knock off a few pounds...I've dropped 22 since the 1st of the year. Also gave up drinking for lent......See if that can knock a few off.

I need to get out and take a few casts just for sanity's sake this weekend. Maybe I'll tie my kids Gameboy to the end and cast it him see how hard he fights to get it back

Raven · 03-10-2006, 10:34 AM

7 days earlier than the typical Saint Patrick's day deadline...

i have been walking up hill 1000 ft.with a 40lb or more 6 foot
oak log on my shoulder huffin and puffin to loose weight and get in shape and its working...not counting the splitting ,stacking ect.
the weight is starting to come off now... whoopie a freakin whole 2 pounds....

i gave up beer after new years too, at least the habbit of buying a six pack
every day or 2 ...occasionally i'll have a couple still ( if in celebration mode) but i cut down 90%.
and thats REAL good for a Scotsman.

i have an appointment for an MRI tomorrow

I'm not liking this.
on the first warm day of spring too...... geeesch...

Tell me about it, I had to hire this professional logger.

Raven · 03-10-2006, 11:54 AM

and a fine lookin Lad he his too....
(he must take after his DAD

)

i also drive the blazer 4 wheelin down there too....
i'm not a maniac, but i like the challenge and the excercise.
the other thing is...i cant run the chainsaw at 5:00 am
but a log i can carry into the cellar and saw up on the chop saw
does the trick for a toasty fire on a very cold mornin.

libassboy · 03-10-2006, 11:59 AM

I started going to the gym at the beginning of the year, I lost 15 pounds so far. I have about 15 more to go, no fishing for me this weekend doing the breaks on the wifes car then some camper fixes.

ThrowingTimber · 03-10-2006, 06:00 PM

CANAL RAT · 03-10-2006, 06:29 PM

well trout fishing nots gonna do beacause its for homos.when the water in my pond warms up i gonna take my canoe and get some largemouth with some shiners.when the water warms up enough in buttermilk bay i am going after schoolies with light tackle and the fly rod.right now i am surveying the beaches at low tide for structure

BigFish · 03-10-2006, 09:59 PM

Funny....you say trout fishing is for....let me get this right...."homos" yet.......

....you like fly fishing? Almost seems like the pot calling the kettle black!

Cause if I was to use your train of thought.....which in this instance is in 1/32 scale.....

....I would tell you my thoughts on fly fishing! But....I have more class than that because I know better than to ridicule the way someone else chooses to fish!

So......gonna go out tomorrow with one of my fishing buddies and catch some trout, maybe some salmon if I am lucky and hopefully plug up a few largies!

Just gonna enjoy the day!

Homos? Who you callin' a homo? Punk

BigFish · 03-10-2006, 10:04 PM

See....there is one of my buddies that I would never dream of insulting due to the way in which he chooses to catch his fish.....that would be beneath me!

Go get em' Steve!
