dude.........got your email but for some reason I cannot send to hotmail accounts (they get tossed back).

I'll get back to you once I get this **** straightened out.....but in a nutshell, things are cool.

LMAO! Ayite den!

swn69 atttttt roadrunner dottttt commmmmmm

sure is a long e-mail addy.........

BTW Macs...Cooling off here...The Bass should turn on this week at the lake....

When I'm not on the tractor, my hook will be wet...

^You're lucky.

In CA if I want to go fishing at the nearest lake it'll cost me $$$ for the fishing license and then more $$$ to pay the fee for the lake. Plus a fee just to drive down TO the lake.

It's ridiculous... and this stupid ass state is broke...

What you growin' down there FGM?

Bass, Bluegill, redear

^I farkin' HATE bluegill and redear. They always get in the damn way of me catching Bass!

Kinda like those damn Northerns in Wisconsin... I was TRYING to catch the Bass! (they were fun enough, but not Bass fun)

RE#7,

If you are catching Bluegill, and redear, while bass fishing, you are

A. Using the wrong bait, and Or

B. Using too small a hook.

^If you use nightcrawlers, see if those MF'ers don't steal YOUR bait.

#9 Ha! Come up to the Puget Sound and fish for salmon. Sooner or later you'll catch dogfish (mud shark). Nasty little sharks, with a venomous spine on their dorsal. You have to carry a pair of wire cutters to clip the spine before turning them loose. Lots of fun when the damn thing is flopping and spinning on the deck of the boat, and you're trying not to get stuck (nasty infection follows getting stuck).

Then if you get skunked on the salmon, you can still head over to Lake Washington and fish for trout, bass, etc.

Come to think of it, you guys that like to fish ought to try a trip out to the Pacific NW if you can. Hit it during salmon season or, for a much bigger challenge, steelhead. Steelhead put up a hell of a fight. We also get just about every kind of salt and freshwater fish around here that doesn't require warm water to live in. Halibut, sole, snapper, cod, different species of trout, etc. Plus seasons for shrimp, crab, squid...

Truly a great place to fish, with tons of lakes and rivers, plus the Puget Sound.

What kind of snapper lives in the NW ...

^ pink, ranch raised

They have around 12 bass Touneys a year 500 ft from my door.

The kind photogs take pictures of.

Sorry for 11.

jack ... What Lake do you live on?

pacman.........fishing the NW is cold......so I'll stick with S. Florida.

I went out in Alaska once...........even my JACKET had to wear a jacket.

Jet it's not a lake but the Intersection of the Susquehenna and Juniata rivers in Central , Pa..

Hah... hey pacman!

I remember dissecting dogfish in some summer biology program!

Yeah, the pacific is where the best fish are.

The Susquehenna is a cool river . . .

I remember disecting dog fish, too . . .
