Great pictures thanks for sharing

Bob we have seen a lot in our 63 years here on earth. We caught more than our share

of woman and fish. We have seen some great things man has advanced in over our 63

years . We have put away our share of the bar room beverages from Ripple to the finest

Scotch . Now this is your day and may it bring you all you dream of, now be careful

what you wished for , because at your age it could hurt you.

I met up with Cecil and his brother Bruce at Bridge Bay and we were on the water by 8:15 am. I met Cecil just after he moved to Lakehead. He and his brother are both from South Africa.

These two guys are really hard to understand when they are talking, but they brought some great food for lunch! We had Puto with a dipping sauce, along with Boar-wors with bread. It had quite interesting flavors.

I had the planer boards out and the pair hooked into 12 fish and lost them. There was plenty of A&E aboard today.

Just as I was about to call it quits for the day, they finally

got it down and landed a double. Now there was one good take down Bruce had. When he had the lure aboard he thought a piece of the lower jaw should count for something. It was a pleasure meeting the brothers, with some frustration on my part, watching people lose fish all day.

But we will do it again. Hopefully without losing the fish. All fish came in on Silver Streak spoons and Smithwick stick baits.

Bob those are some real monsters there, looks like they just got out of jail with those

stripes

Great pictures thanks

the surface temp now is in the upper 50s by feb will be the low 50s. The lakes have flipped and all the cold water species are in the top 40'

Our thought and prayers are with your family, we out west here hope for a speedy

recovery.

This is a tribute to the warriors and friends of many years ago who were proud to serve the US Marine Corps and there country. That I had the privilege to fight by there side through GoNoi Island, Arizona Territory into Dodge city .

Our time in history was many years ago, Just as we followed our fathers into hell many years before us. now another generation looks the beast in the eyes . all in the call for freedom.

Please remember only two have given there life for you.

Jesus Christ for your sins

The American fighting man for your freedom

incredible looking fish, thanks for sharing

Another year for the chosen few, the usmc .

Great pictures there Tom, you really don't go to the gym to work out do you ?

No I have told a few here on the board about the Abu Tormentors .

Guys I usually troll between 2.5 to 3 mph gps surface speed. Just wondering what you all did back east and what lures worked best for you all.

Many lures, spoons & flies you all have talked about ,work great out west here as well. I assure you my credit cards will tell you so.

So now are winter fishing is starting all the way till spring, I was hoping of finding something I have never used out here , that would hook up more Rainbow trout with.

I know, Ray there all bait by east coast standards, but hey we have to work with what we have out west here.

What do you guys find as a good speed on the surface for big boards after Rainbow trout in the fall through Spring ?

What are some of your top spoon producers for these Rainbows ?

I have had the 787 for over a year with no problems myself. But have heard of a few friends with the same unit as mine that had to go to a heavier ground wire and then there problems where solved

Ray I will meet you down there :

Boatino

So your saying you guys have thieves that live in New York, I am shocked.

Now for your rigging problem, I will just trade you stright across for my 20' Crestline all

rigged and ready to go Hell I even toss in two wire rods with the deal.

Out west here has been

Green Dot

Black Dot

Blue Crush Glow

Double Crush Glow

Eskimo Joe is even a legend all the way out west here. They say no sea is to ruff for him to handle, he received his sea legs in the bearing straights. rumor has it fish quiver just to the sound of his name.
