Fishing 2012

Let's get this happening.

Anyone ever go after walleye on lake Erie?

 

[woodworkingboy]

My Gramps was a fishing fool, going after Pike and Walleye on Lake Michigan and it's tributaries. I inherited his tackle box, but not much use for the big feathers with steel leaders when living in California. Just looking at the gear, I could tell that there must have been some exciting hookups.

Tooth marks and scratched paint Jay? I always felt you could tell who was BSing about their success on filthy fish by looking at their tackle.

I haven't been fishing since my kids were born...thats three years in May. To put it in perspective, I always kept at least two rods in my truck and whenever I travelled by plane they came with me as well....

I have run into the same phenomenon Greg. Ever since I had kids, we only get the boat and rods out once a year
Between all our work schedules and Kat's school schedule, it is pretty much moot otherwise.

I'm hoping its just a temporary lapse. My father taking my brother and I fishing had a profound impact on both of us, I can only hope to give the same passion for the outdoors to my kids.

I think it gets a tad easier as they get older. Less apt to get hooked in the head or something as well

Fishing is a great way to chill after a day in the treetops. I don't get out to the lakes as often as I would like, but I try.

 

[Tucker943]

Last year I hardly fished. It went against everything I believe in about letting tree work control me. This year I'm set on making a little more time to fish. Not too much, but enough so that I don't feel like the year got away from me.

No fishing for you until all those spare chains are sharpened!!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Or take the chains with you and sharpen while waiting for a bite. A brilliant idea or what!

 

[Burnham]

Stunning!!

 

[Tucker943]

Sadly, I miss those days sometimes. Life was more simple then. I just did what I was told and stuck my hand out on Friday. I wasn't responsible for a thing! Other then sharp chains, straight bars, make sure to mix the gas

 

[Cut4fun]

Walleye and smallmouth are big time on Erie. My bro and friends fish it alot for both. Oh perch too.

 

[Cut4fun]

Friends last year biggest walleye and a cell phone pic he sent me. a 13.?? lbs and 28 inches

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wow, a plump fish!

 

[Burnham]

Angler, too .

 

[JoshINtrees]

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

 

[JoshINtrees]

Hope this comes out.

 

[woodworkingboy]

No Rainier ale on the boat, it must be photoshopped.

 

[JoshINtrees]

No ale here; I prefer herbal remedies.

Silvey does not work on 12 volt

Got nothing to speak of this year, patiently waiting for ice out. Ice fishing season this year was very short due to warmer than average temps.
Walleye opens in mid may....cant wait.....as elusive as they are here.

 

[Tucker943]

I'm headed over to Port Clinton, Ohio in April to get after ol' marble eyes. Walleye got my attention 2 years ago and I'm having a tough time ignoring them.

Walleye fishing isnt for everyone. I love em myself. I dont catch alot of them, and they can be hard to target and catch. Its certainly not like Bass fishing, it takes alot more effort and thought than just tossing out any old lure. You really need to understand their patterns and habits, and even then, you can still get skunked.
