Guest avid Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I think Zel's idea is great. I think Redline Robert should send me airfare to California immediatley so we can git er done. Quote
Zel Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Alpster, Thanks! I'm fighting off a left knee replacement myself. I fractured the whole thing and need to be on crutches for 3 months, in order to give it enough time to heal. At 6 weeks the surgeon said it still was iffy whether I would need a replacement. 4 more weeks to go and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I look forward to getting the chance to fish together with you and Muddy this season. Have either of you ever fished Sholola Lake in Pike County PA? I've heard a lot of good things about it, and have been given some tips from friends, but have never fished it myself. It has little to no tournament pressure due to the severe requirements for holding tournaments. And it produces some real quality fish. I have an 18.5 ft Fish'n'Ski, and 3 anglers can comfortably fish out of it. Any interest guys? Info: Shohola Lake - limited to electric motors only. This 1000+ acre impoundment is shallow, stumpy, and weedy. The result is superb largemouth fishing with many fish in the 5 pound range caught each year. Dense brush with very shallow water near shore compounded with a mucky bottom that prevents wading, limits shore fishing to the three boat launch areas and the picnic grove. Boat fishing is the way to go. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I really like Zel's original thought of guys fishing together, sharing some time together. Also Matt, I do not get as deep into it as you do, and many do and many don't, why would a guy who fishes casually want to go up against a tourny guy. Actually talking about this makes me realize I need not put input here, because i do not get into competitions, I will stick to just calling fellas up, close to me and Say " Wanna go fishin?" I am out of this groove so i withdraw my suggestions, because on second thought i have never fished competetively and do not want to start now Muddy, this is merely documenting the Buddy to buddy competition we all feel when are "just fishin'" All it is is next time you go with Ron, make a small bet on Biggest fish. report the day back in "Outings" No big deal. It's more FUN than COMPETITION It's not like "Joe Tournament" is going to ppost up....."I'm coming to PA and I challenge MUDDY MAN",...no,.....just friends having fun but documenting it. The bet can be as simple as "You load the car" at the end of the trip. "Rinse and wipe down the opponents gear", something like that. Think about it, Zel calls, says he wants go out saturday morning, do a "catch or fetch", the loser buys breakfast after. It's a WIN/WIN with a little Honor and fun thrown in. Quote
Guest muddy Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Hey Russ: I ain't tweaking on this, just backing out. I never have bet on biggest fish, never will. The way for me to avoid making my enjoyment time tense , is to really stay away from anything that stresses me. I can't do or like everything my friends come up with, nor they with me. I am offering if several fellas want to get together this way, while you are out doing your thing, you can get a homecooked meal, campside from me> 8-) Quote

Zel Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Be honest,...Zel just intimidates you,.... ;D I'm about as intimidating as Steve Urkel trying to gun down a Wells Fargo truck with a water pistol. Quote

Super User flechero Posted January 25, 2008 Super User Posted January 25, 2008 ...................**First sign of NON sportsmanship-like behavior will end the game... You think avid and I could even get the boat in the water before it got called on political or religious grounds? ;D Quote

Super User Catt Posted January 26, 2008 Super User Posted January 26, 2008 With the On-line Paper Tournament guys who go more often have a better chance of winning than guys on big bass lakes. It could even be a team format where 2 anglers combine the weight of their 5 largest bass as long as they fish together on the same day. I've done this when I was assistant moderator on another site and the casual angler won more often than the tournament anglers. There's no pressure to it you simply document your catch and report it here like you would on the my fishing outing page. Quote
Guest avid Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 It all sounds good to me. I'm ready. Who's coming to Korea this year? I understand the DMZ is lovely in springtime. The blossoming of the land mine detonations, The gentle tinkle tinkle of razor ribbon blowing in the evening breeze, the serenity of knowing that 1,000,000 potential fishing buddies are just accross no mans land wistfully oiling their AK 47's. sigh........ :-/ Quote
