Fitty's Angling Ramble 7.0

[Nainoa]

19 here this morning. The lake in my back yard had skim ice.

I'm gettin' the itch!

Yeah now that the west Bay of Alexander is 25 minutes from my house I'm going to become a crappie catching machine!

Only hitch is with the awesome spring we had there is going to be an EPIC forage base out there this year... My psychic left elbow tells me that this is going to be an ice season with a state wide poor bite!


However there is probably some walleye hope for Mille Lacs, that 07 year class was massive and they should be in the slot by now!

[HairyScandinavian]

Gym time, gonna go Squat see yall after a while.

You could see a doc for that, just sayin.

We've got a warm front about to push in... Gonna get up to a balmy 48 this weekend!


At this point I think I speak for Lhprop when I say it cannot get cold enough fast enough for ice up to get started!

I've still got my A/C on. I like to take advantage of this time of year to keep the house nice and chilly like I like it without having a massive electric bill.

Score!

[Nainoa]

Score!

Did you get one and you're texting us from the stand?

No, at home waiting on my wife to get home to take a few pics and start skinning.


I'm pretty sure it is this one, although it is no longer a 10 pt. Its G-4's (last pt closest to the tip) on both sides have been broken off.

Make sure you check with your Home Owners Association before skinning a deer in the front yard!

Oh Lord Yes! Getting ready to go skin him. I'll give more details laters.

Yeah I think you should put in a rule that if you don't skin a deer in the front yard you get kicked out of the HOA.

It was a cool, crisp morning. The type of morning a hunter only dreams about....blah, blah, blah. J/K


I had seen a couple earlier in the morning, but so foggy couldn't even see them in the scope. About 10 AM two does/fawns were coming out of the woods to my left. This was the same area the buck had come from Sat. I raised my gun to check if I could now get a shot through some of the areas I had cut. I set my gun back and watched these 2 some more. In a bit I looked up on the hill to my rt about 150 yards and saw "big deer", glassed him and knew he was a shooter. Hit him w/ a doe bleat and he looked my way. He then headed down the hill to an area I couldn't see. Hit a few grunts and picked up my gun. He was either coming my way or heading out of Dodge. I heard him grunt, then saw him, stopped him, shot him. He only went about 20 yards up the hill and then slid back down. I sure wish he hadn't lost those 2 tines.

[GREENFEATHER]

Wow... If Fitty was here he'd orgasm!

And promptly miss them. I despise snow geese.

Am I the only one uncomfortable looking at VikingFit's avatar? That's mighty close to a weiner shot.

You need to qualify that with a (no homo).

Sonuvabitch... Wife was coming home from work tonight and she watched 4 deer (3 Does followed by 1 buck) coming out of the edge of my woods... Still would have been 600+ Feet from my stand, but sounds like they're moving at night back and forth along the creek.

That would be a nice head shot with the new Lapua.

Speaking of which... I awared Fitty on this via text... But I'm working on a New Ad Campaign in Ohio... JUST started it... If it goes well Ohio will be added to my region, and while I won't be out there in 2013 with the baby and all, I'd end up basically in Fitty's back yard for a 7-10 day stint sometime in either spring or fall of 2014!

[Nainoa]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!

I attempted to take music from a CD to my Laptop then E-mail it to my smart phone so I could import it into my MP3 play list.

You guys know me and the technomotry side of things.

So I straight up expected one of these appliances to just straight up explode like R2D2 having butt sex with a toaster oven. I'll be damned but everything worked flawlessly the first time!

Now I can listen to it while I'm doing it!

Wow I put the window insulators on yesterday and it preserved 4 degrees in the house over night!

[HairyScandinavian]

I swear I spend 90% of my time on two of my users here. Now my Symantec server sends me emails, multiple trojans detected on one of my computers. Look it up, sure enough it's one of my two users. How the **** you get trojans on a work computer, man? Seriously wtf...

Back when I worked the Corporate grind there was a 1:1 ratio between the guys who got the most computer viruses and the guys who were downloading the most internet porn at work.

lol yeah I would not be surprised, but seriously that's what smart phones are for!

going out on the water this Saturday. 30% chance of rain with a high of 64 degrees.

Im going to feast on flounder!

[Nainoa]

We had one guy who was a total stain on human values (Corporate life seems to attract those types) and his mentality was "Why should I screw up my own computer which costs me money, when the work one doesn't.


Then he tried explaining that he was only DL-ing porn on his lunch break.

Ironically the boss never busted him, because the boss and the CFO were the two worst offenders in the building.

He eventually quit before they could fire him.

And I just found out last week that my old boss sold the entire agency and all it's holdings to my old arch nemesis "SuperBiotch."

No sooner I mention this, the other user of the two came in and she can't find some files she worked on last month. *sigh*

I've STILL not gotten out for the flounder run. I hope I don't miss it.

you use those lures? I mostly use the Gulp shrimp but they fall apart so easly but fish love them. they still hit them even if I only have 1/2 of it left on the jig head lol

I would like to find something that can withstand a little more abuse

I've caught some specks on them, those lures are tough some have caught dozens of fish on one lure. There's a guy who claims to have over 200 fish on a single lure. He posted pics of it and it's shredded with tooth marks all over it but it's still in good shape and the tail portion is still intact. I quit using Gulp because I can't keep the hardheads off of it, even if I work it fast. edit: I like the holographic pink, but chicken on a chain, cock of the bay, and bloody mary seem to be popular with others. There's a 25% off coupon right now, "victory" but dunno when it ends. I'm waiting for bloody mary to come out in 3" size, they have it in stores but haven't updated the website.

Yeeee-Yeee-Yeee!

Someone call the Turtleman!

I just saw my first Minnesotan Possum!

I heard they lived up here but were super rare...

Then this big bastard wandered up to my office window.

Followed it around the house snapped some crappy ass blurry pictures... Looked like it was hurt.

Maybe I should go hand catch it?

We use a 2 hook bottom rig with squid heads and minnows. ABSOLUTELY kills them in the lower Chesapeake.

Yeah! We've had to hand catch some and bring them to the game preserve. They tested them for rabies, and they had it so they had to put it down. Unless you have no other option then hand catching it, but you have the ability to do so because it's injured/sick, just put it out of its misery.

[VikingFit]

And do what with it?

Mayby Nainoa could skin it? American opposum skin have become a very popular hairwing material for the tubeflies we use for Atlantic Salmon fishing over here!
