Notes

Images

Keep in mind that I am always looking for images for our newsletter; fish, sunsets, sunrises, other anglers fishing, equipment, anything fishing related. I can use them all.  Large, unedited images are best. Thanks.

Thank you, Jay!

Since the scheduled speaker had to cancel and Scott M was out of town I decided to go fishing.  Tom and I caught three fish, 38",44", and 45" after the lightning show ended.

Nice work....Congrats.....All released ok with the high water temps? Trolling I presume? 

Congrats Tom & Carl,Good to hear they swam home hard! I'm walleye fishing now for a few weeks ,I take a break from muskie action every year as water temps get above 75 degrees and start back after Labor Day when temps start falling again.

We let the fish rest in the net while preparing for measurement and pics, support fish while lifting horizontally and get the fish back within approximately 15-20 seconds.  Only the picture fish came out of the water and the 45" fish was the only fish I've lifted this season.  So far the fish have headed back to the depths with no problems.  Under mid 40" fish have been gone with a dip of the net.  Temps have been 74-75.  

That's one clean looking fish that Tom's holding.  Congrats to both of you!

You two guys do good work.  I, as well as some others, took Tom's night-time scary story a couple of months ago to heart, & the 1st thing I noticed was that he had his PFD on.  If you haven't heard it, ask him to tell you.  It's guaranteed to put a new attitude into your night-time fishing.

I am also wearing my PFD and have it on every time I'm out at night in a 14' boat.  I prefer wearing it inside my shirt because I think its' warmth is a beautiful thing.  My wife has called me at night to make sure I have it on.

Carl...good for her.  Somebody has to keep an eye on you!  Tom's story about going under a couple of times still send shivers down my spine.  When it's daylight & I'm in in the boat with someone else, I'll keep it handy but don't have it on.  At night, the PFD is always on regardless of who's in the boat.

If I'm by myself, even in the daylight, the PFD is always on.  I remember what happened to that guy in Dunkirk a couple of years ago, in the daytime.  Fished solo, rod fell overboard, he reached to grab it, fell overboard & watched his boat troll away.  Good thing he could tread water for a couple of hours before being rescued.

Good lessons from you guys.
