Biggest Sucker


This pix is of the biggest sucker I have caught this year. The picture really doesn’t show the fishes true size well. But anyway it was a lot of fun to catch and actually one of the few fish I have caught this year that ran my drag out. it isnt exactly the most desirable kind of fish to catch but at least it keeps my fishing energy level up.

Fishing Acquired Taste


Doug has gone fishing with me a couple times now. I think he is starting to enjoy fishing.There are some pictures I wanted to post of the first time Doug and i went out in the boat but they seem to have been lost.

I don’t think most people understand what it really means to go fishing its something that needs to be learned. Fishing is kind of an acquired taste but once someone tastes it they cant get enough.

Cold Sunny Day Fishing


It was a cold sunny day. I figured why not dress warm and see if the motor would run in the cold. Well it did without any trouble. I have been pretty happy lately with how it has been running I hope the motor will last the rest of this year. I have been running it pretty hard.

Boating and Fishing Solo


Lots of fish were biting this day. I am starting to enjoy boating and fishing solo. It can be pretty peaceful but its still nice when I have someone to go with.  I really love it when the water is smooth as glass. There probably isn’t too many more good weather days to fish this year so I am trying to soak it all up as often as possible.

I was casting with one of my favorite lures. I would have liked to pull in the fish that the scale above belonged to. O-well it was fun at least tugging on him for a moment. Maybe i will get it in the boat next time.

I caught several small cats and sheephead as usual. I wish I could figure out how to catch some walleye. Guess i just have to keep trying different spots. The spot I was fishing here is only 4 – 6 feet deep and I know that its not likely for walleye to be in the shallows this time of year.

Boat Launch At Night


Tonight I decided to run into town to get an iced tea from Mobil and i noticed there were no cars at the boat launch. So I decided to try fishing for a short time since there was a full moon.

I tried to capture the full moon in the first picture it was so beatuiful. The seccond picture is one of the sheep heads i caught while i was out there.

My camera is not so good at taking pictures at night as you can probably tell from these pix. I am hoping to get a new one soon. Just need to make a decision to which one.

The Fisherman


Here I am “The Fisherman” I was fishing from the boat launch and practicing taking pictures of myself. Its really hard to take a picture of myself holding the fish I catch. So I took this one just to practice.

It would be nice to have a better camera that I could set up to take pictures. Guess I will have to keep my eyes out and do some research to see if i can find the right camera and setup.

Mowing The Lawn


Today I mowed the lawn. Not sure why I am posting this pic I just saw it in my pix and thought what the heck. LoL It started to rain a little while I was mowing but I got lucky and it stopped before the grass got too wet.

Guess it is just fun to make posts! !

Maybe one of you reading this would like to have some fun and make a post on here sometime. If you would just ask I would love it if someone else would share pix and post friendly.

Taking The Boat Out Again


I am preparing the boat to go out again. Doug decided he was willing to go out in the boat with me after he finished with his eBay stuff. So These pictures are of me taking the boat to get gas and bait so that as soon as he finished we could head out.

We had a good time once we got out and the boat ran great. it did get dark pretty quick and my camera didn’t take good pix in the dark.

I asked doug to send me the pix he took while we were out. After he sends them to me i will get them published for all of you loyal viewers to view.

Suckers Bad Head


I have never noticed a sucker with a head as bad as this one had. We are not sure what the white spots are or what they could be from. Guess fish get Chicken Pox or something just like people do.

Fishing Trip 10-12


Jason and I took the boat out again.  We had a lot of fun. I don’t think it would be possible to take the boat out and go fishing and not enjoy ourselves.

I think today was the first time out of all the times that Jason and i have gone fishing that he caught more fish then I did. I really didn’t mind he deserved to finally have a good day of fishing and catching almost all of the fish.

Well that’s all of this trip. I know I should take the time to write more about each picture they all kinda have a story behind them. But part of the fun is keeping a few of the details and secrets, secret.
