Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 13, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 13, 2013 Do you realise it's already been 2 months since we have made the decision for the potomac and set the date?  That means it's just 5 short months away from meeting up with each other, the weather is starting to warm up and the fever is getting hotter for all of us and before you know it we will be downing some good cold Buds together and telling each other a bunch of lie's.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you and I cant wait to see a few of you once more !!!

stevecastle Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 My son and i are looking forward to the meet. We have just picked up a 15 ft Princecraft v hull aluminum jon boat and should be using it this year. It`s going to be great to finally get out in our own boat. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 13, 2013 Super User Posted March 13, 2013 Unfortunately you can count me out, have to go to Minnesota that weekend for a friends wedding. Can't blow it off, my wife is in the wedding party... Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 It is looking better and better for me to join up too. If there are any pre fishing trips out there I would be game to give a perspective for us plastic boat guys Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 14, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 14, 2013 Zoff and I plan on making a pre-trip adventure outing to meet up with Traveler sometime in the future to get the lay of the land and hopefully do a little fishing as well, if your interested you can join us for the day, I would certainly enjoy hearing your perspective. 1 Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 I sold off some stuff and I am currently looking at 15-20hp outboards. Â That should open up the fishing area for me and the aluminum aircraft carrier. Quote

Zoff Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Sounds good to me.  I may be taking early retirement... yeah... I can do that... and picking up another job soon. So, until I know what I am going to be doing, I will have to play it by ear. Still making the M&G though. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 15, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 15, 2013 Sent a PM back Traveler.  Retirement ?  shucks your not even 40 yet Zoff  LOL !!! Quote

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 25, 2013 Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Whew! Â All this snow almost pushed this to the second page. LOL, I don't think it's going to get warm. Ever. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Whew!  All this snow almost pushed this to the second page. LOL, I don't think it's going to get warm. Ever. Yes it will......  But I wish I could be out on the water today, appointments prevent me; I've found that fishing in a snow fall is one of the most relaxing events I've ever experienced. The snow not only limits visibility, it also limits sound and it can be deathly quiet; and usually there's little or no wind so the water is glass smooth; so far, I've had the water all to myself. Properly dressed in a good rain suit, it's easy to stay warm; the only problem I've experienced was the deck getting a little slippery, and navigating with old style electronics.  I'm setting here looking out on a backyard that is totally white with a gentle snowfall, and my cabin fever is out of control because of a d**n appointment...

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 25, 2013 Super User Posted March 25, 2013 I hear ya man. I'm actually a big fan of fishing in the snow too for the exact reasons you mentioned. Â Water might be cold but it sure is peaceful. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted March 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted March 25, 2013 I got out to Anna this past weekend and had some good fun !! even though the wind and the cold had put a damper on the fishing I still had a great time !!!!     The last one was on the hot side fishing with my friends grandfather, he held the fish while I was taking the pic.

Super User Teal Posted March 25, 2013 Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Thats why i love deer hunting season from october thru last day of december, and nasty januarys adn februarys... im all alone on the lake, zero to very litttle boat traffic. The noise of the rain and stain from winter run off do make shallow water fishin a little easier. No sticking snow down here but really cold rain,wind and some sleet make for dreary days. Its depressing weather but i bet it would make for a relaxing day on the water. Ill be glad when the water warms up about 8 more degrees. Still 46-48 down here... Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 25, 2013 Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Water temps were 38 last weekend at a local lake. I still got a while. LOL Quote
Super User Teal Posted March 30, 2013 Super User Posted March 30, 2013 This thread has fallen to sleep. Yall wake up!! Traveler, have you had any time up there on the Potomac yet? If its anything like down here, im guessing cold and murkey. Quote
