Whether Boat or Beach... It's so satisfying to reel in one of these girls!...

My surf trophy will come sooner or later, but for now...

I'm loving the Fall Run!

bud8fan · 09-24-2003, 03:28 PM

Fess up don!! Were you trolling with wire and umbrella's?

Nice fish yes! but on wire?? Not much chance for the bass!

GBOUTDOORS · 09-24-2003, 03:46 PM

Ok the spot I am fishing is off shore about 200 yards. I can,t get to it from shore as the land is all private and even if I could get to it I can,t cast 200 yards. So I use a boat but you are telling me that if I catch it from the boat it does not count??? So you have some great spots to fish that are private but can fish and I can,t so now your fish don,t count right?? I think I need a new list of the fish that do and don,t count as I lost my old copy or used it to wipe my

with. Now if I do get permission to fish this spot from shore and wade out to the spot and catch Don,s fish does it count??? What if Don lies and tells us he caught it from shore it counts then right??? I think we need that new list but if we do count fish caught from a boat do we need to do it by the size of the boat as I have a 21' and Goose has a 18' so I can fish some waters he can,t so now some of my fish should not count right??? Oh hell nice fish Don and I don,t care how you caught it or where, its still a nice fish. And as for the list I need the new one bad as I am all out of t-paper

JohnR · 09-24-2003, 03:48 PM

Hey GB - when are we donna go out for fish that don't count

- I'll bring TP

Christian · 09-24-2003, 04:09 PM

Canalman · 09-24-2003, 05:42 PM

Judging by what you've told me Greg... and the shoreline in the background, I just might have access to that private land.... now to rig my potatoe gun up to shoot plugs or eels!!

-Dave

Goose · 09-24-2003, 06:09 PM

Thats F%#@* BULL Greg! there is no need to explain to anyone where your fishin, ain't nobodys biz. Thats just great, just shoot the guys fish down cause he got it the way he did. When the next s-b night out???

mrmacey · 09-24-2003, 06:25 PM

you be stirring up the pot wheres your pics pro boy!! lol! don nice fish while russ sleeps you fish ill never forget that pro boy when we going out to fish from the boat again!!

GBOUTDOORS · 09-24-2003, 06:40 PM

I just figured it out that only two of my fish this year count so I am going to sell the boat and all the TROLLING gear to some poor slob that does not know that fish you catch on a boat don,t count. I have a 42# striper being mounted for my office that I caught on the boat and don,t want anymore as it does not count. Anyone want it for a bait shop or fish market for display??????? I think I will go back to hunting earlyer this year. Oh crap Jane just told me that all my deer don,t count as the land I hunt is private and is for my use only. Anyone want a nice new bow,shotgun and lots of treestands as I am going to take up knitting I know that if I can knit a nice sweater it will count!!!!!!!!! Got to go now as I hear that Kmart has a bluelight special on yarn tonight. Good by old friends its been real its been fun but its not been real fun.

By the way Don,s fish was caught on leadcore braided line with a 30# florocarbon leader not wire. I do not use wire and do not like it but do not see anything wrong with fish caught on it if thats your thing go for it. I use to love my fishing and hunting till I found out that I was doing it all wrong. Now my life is just an empty stain, oh how I long for yesterday!!!!!!!
