Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire High time for a summer pic thread, methinks

Nice!

Wish I had gone out on the water this morning.

We ended up with a half dozen or so of these small bass. Looks like the Spring run has fizzled out with bigger fish migrating up the line to the L-Man's stomping grounds. Time to switch to Fluke and Sea Bass fishing.

Granddaughter when she was here visiting.

I think you've got it right, buddy. Big slug of schools of 30+ pounders in now, but bigger news has taken away from them: the tuna are in. 21 giants taken in one day on the bank mid-week. Let the games begin.

Seabass are so fun to catch. Drop jigs on their heads, bang 'em up. If you miss a hookest, no big deal. Those greedy little buggers will often hit again and again until you the steel bites them. You able to get in on a few, or still no playing yet for you?

What a QT!

Those two look like trouble together. Love it.

(I'm in)

Bottom right is a human:

5 and a half pounda Summer Flounder, aka, Fluke and a couple Sea Bass caught this 'morn.
Fluke fillets getting the grill treatment later...

That's a very nice fluke, brother. Nice going!

Drifting jigs with squid strips? The old salts in these parts often use belly strips of the first keeper to bait the jigs with for the rest of the day. Sounds crazy, but it works. Really.

Thanks again for the great thread here KG; been fun riding along w/ so many here for summer adventures!

We're just back from SE Ohio where we did a bunch of hiking/sight-seeing w/ the kids:







Then it was out to the hayfield w/ my pronghorn hunting pard:

And a friend of ours with his brand new Sako 85 who is just learning to shoot beyond 100 yds in preparation for a caribou hunt this Sept:



Tomorrow it's back to the office .

I agree! That #2 shot of yours is just fantastic, efw. Looks like caverns and/or caves in limestone of something similar, maybe? How beautiful! Any details of the place?

Summertime? That means it's Detroit Jacuzzi time!

Yeah we vacationed in Hocking County, Ohio this year. No where near as "exotic" (to us anyway) as your area was last summer, but an amazingly scenic area with more sights to see than we could hope to in 5 days!

There are waterfalls, caverns, canyons, and just all around gorgeous scenery! We stayed in a lovely cottage right in the heart of the area. It was wonderfully refreshing!

Thanks again for the thread this is kewl!

Nap time on a summer afternoon:


Cooling off at Smith Falls:
