"Are you kidding?!?" That was the answer I got from Rocky Friday when I tried to get him in the truck to come with Owen and me to Pyramid Lake. He's a hunting dog and wants nothing to do with those slime-monsters. Who all here have started fishing as a time killer until bird/deer season? What do you fish for, how, and where? We didn't get any of the big cutthroats this trip, but Owen managed a 22" throw back that gave a good tug on the line.

we were just discussing fishing and the need for a new license, tonight. I need to repair my boat trailer pretty soon.
(fishing is what hunters do, in the off season.)

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I prefer Catching...so I do. A couple frames,from the day before yesterday. Nothing this year yet,under 28". Canon G-12 and pardon the skeelz. Yesterday was fair to middlin',today was a slower roll and because I was schleppin' the chainsaw all day,my Wingman was gunning the frames. Bokeh Bitch Season...gunning a 1D3 WFO @ 50mm F/1.2 today and there wasn't much time to [bleep]. A slight weather turn is forecast and light levels should wane,which'll make it easy to drag shutters and gun some fluidity. Tossed an Intervalometer in the pack,RC2 plates stay affixed and I'll tether a tripod to the works. Should prolly throw in a flash unit or two and bang some High Key frames,if only for giggles. 1D4 and Artsy Fartsy Siggy 35mm F/1.2 go in the bag,prior to daybreak in the morn'. I prolly ain't kidding. Hint. Hardest part is deciding which rifle to tote,for posterity.(grin) Am thinkin' the Vudoo is "lucky". Laughing!...................

That's a nice fish Owen caught. Does Pyramid Lake have a slot limit. The bass have been hitting at Mead; time to get the boat prepped.

Most people say I fish too much. Most people don't fish enough. I caught a 4lb bass on a panfish popper in a road ditch this morning. You'd have though I was six years old.

I know trout arent as good to eat as small bass, crappie, catfish or speckled trout, but that was big enough to stink the grease. I would have let it swim in a skillett.

I'm not a fish lover, but every spring we look forward to a couple of big crappie fries. Last I caught 25 slabs on T-Bend. They're in the camp freezer for turkey season.

Hula Popper? How old are you? Lol Haha! I had a couple I inherited from my grandpa, along with a Jitterbug or two. I used to collect lures more than I actually fished-or so I've been told.
