Pike Hunter

Great job out there with the solo run!

Thank you for the awesome report! Great brown photos! I hope to start out next weekend!

RL - Not to gang up on you as these sage advices were given just to help you out and at the same time protect our pike population during these precious spawning times. Believe me, you are better off targeting for the brown trouts at this time of the year. I will be happy to help you out with pike fishing when time is right.

Updated Photo!

What a beauty! Great work out there!

Lucky you! I have charted Tiki Charter Fishing. This captain is a 3rd generation captain. http://fishfloridakeys.com/tikicharters/ Captain Roy Lindback respects the sea and he will take you to find fish whatever you wish. We stayed at a nice beach front condo - Caloosa Cove Resort. Be sure to dine at Lazy Days resturant. Darn it, I really missed that place! Please share with the group about your fishing story to come.

Please check your PM. Thanks.

Well, this is just video of a dumb person attempting to feed a tarpon. Needless to day, dont do this at home (dock) http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/50670/giant+fish+grabs+mans+arm+on+dock+almost+drags+him+into+water/

Never thought about that fruit of the loom! The same goes for banana muffins which are on my list of banned substances

This should be a very interesting thread. Although this is not related to fish on, whenever the fishing gets slow: A) We like to spray water all over the fishing poles and the riggers. Sometimes, this has trigger insane bites. B) One of my fishing buddies would light up a cigar and then the screen on the fish finder would literally become lit up with several streaking arcs! C) I would start to interrogate my fishing buddies to be sure they did not bring bananas on board. I can attest to a true occasion when we were chartering with Yankee Troller. We were hunting for steelies and there were no bite during that time. I asked around my fishing buddies to find out if they had brought a banana on board. When I found my friend had indeed brought a banana on board, I immediately raided his cooler and threw away the banana. Guess what, that guy who lost his banana was already on the deck fighting the fish and landed the biggest steelie and won the biggest fish pool from our group. A bite came after another and we had a stellar day. Go figure!

This is very sad news. Our prayers go out to the victims families and friends and supporters of Webster Fire volunteers. My brother is a member of FDNY 9/11 and it hurts to see our brothers lose their lives like that.

Damn Friggin Ice holes! Please share this with your fellow boaters who had their boat hit by thefts.

UGLY: I have thought about sharing my negative experience about this particular boat sales and service near I-Bay. You can PM me with questions because I do not wish having to worry about a potential defamation lawsuit. Long story short - I spend $4,000 on the outboard repair and this ice hole has never solved the problem. Because I was so stupid and overly trusting, I bought a new boat from the same place. They have done a warranty repair on my boat and ended up giving me more trouble than what it was worth. A broken seal on top of the gas tank was a result of their stupid people working on my boat. Did they take accountability? No. I WILL NEVER TAKE MY BOAT TO THIS DARN FRIGGIN RIP OFF place. GOOD: RAS Outboard - west of IBay Pugsley Marine - East of IBay Bill Zahn of Independent Marine Service is available to go to your boat docked in I-Bay for marine service. Although he does not specialize in the outboard motor repair as he is an I/O guy, he does a fine job and he is HONEST guy to work with. IF I did not live too far from Hank, I will take my boat to him within a heart beat! IT does not matter that he is a moderator on this board - every LOU guy who had his boat worked on by him has vouched for him.

Good: Too many lures and not enough fishing days! Bad: Crazy rough lake on weekends and calm water during weekdays (this should not bother retirees) Ugly: Darn selfish thieves taking stuff away from charter captains and recreational boaters AND you cannot shoot the intruders with a gun on your boat when you catch them red handed.

Ahoy Rick, Thank you for sharing all of your worthy posts for the rest of the fishermen on LOU. You have been generous and consistent with sharing your experience on the water which has helped thousands of us get the fish on board. All the best! Anthony
