Welcome billkay...thanks for filling us in with some info. Good luck with that angering thing.

Lipripper · February 28, 2005, 07:34:26 AM

Welcome again billkay well if you work for a Chicago newspaper then I'm sure I've seen your work since I live in Chicago

and is there a such a thing as too many fishing trips

and if you know and hang around with Fishaholic I know you will get back in the swing of things real fast

billkay · February 28, 2005, 01:35:55 PM

No doubt lipripper! After all these years of marriage, I know all the shortcuts to her dark side. LOL

Fishaholic · February 28, 2005, 01:50:32 PM

shortcuts to the dark side....man I'm not goin' there...if I want to go fishin' or shootin' I need to know the shortcuts to my wife's good side

Lipripper · February 28, 2005, 03:10:48 PM

Fishaholic and billkay

eye'm glad my wife don't have a dark side

and eye can go fishing anytime and for ever how long eye want to

Fishaholic · February 28, 2005, 03:15:35 PM

that's great Lipripper...just remember to get yourself an Indiana fishing license this year and we'll get you down along the Kankakee some where...maybe even the Marsh.

Lipripper · February 28, 2005, 03:20:34 PM

EYE just might have to do that Fishaholic and the way it looks this year eye'm going to have to get a

license for Indiana...Michigan....Illinois...Wisc...and maybe OHIO also

now that's all lot of $$$ in anyone's book for non residence license

but well worth it

DAWG · February 28, 2005, 03:28:25 PM

Welcome again Billy and thanks for sharing with us. Hope you do get in more fishing this year.

Fishaholic · February 28, 2005, 04:02:13 PM

You'll like fishing in Indiana...lot of good cats for you, lot of good bass, gills, walleyes and pike for me...and in the Fall if you're up for it, we can go for some big chinooks, or later yet go for the lakers...July is skammania time in Indiana too!

Lipripper · February 28, 2005, 04:07:13 PM

Fishaholic eye'm game for anything

now do you fish the streams for them steelheads or the big watters. joda911 and eye hit the St. Joes in Mich. for them and Walleye. but will have to hook up with ya for some fishing in Indiana this year for sure

ol joda's always up for a new fishing hole

and eye see the counter is going up and up

Fishaholic · February 28, 2005, 04:12:58 PM

Got a nice little steelhead stream 1 mile from my home, all ya need is some hip waders and a box of small spinners (rooster tails, or panther martins), an ultralite rod or a light medium rod and some spinning gear...if you prefer bait fishing, some tiny split shot, thill floats, egg hooks in fluorescent colors and a container of nightcrawlers and you're all set - with a bait rig you can work the drifts...I've got some nifty river rigs that would be dynomite on the St. Joe...only been on the St. Joe once...hooked into a nice steelie there, but after 20 minutes my 2lb. test line finally gave out.

Lipripper · February 28, 2005, 04:16:13 PM

2lb line Fishaholic ya must have been in a playful mood that day

and we will for sure have to get together for some fishing this year

and we don't live that far from each other either

Fishaholic · February 28, 2005, 04:20:00 PM

Yep...I fish 2 and 4 lb. test line frequently...it's more of a challenge....so far, a 30 pound chinook on 4 lb. test line is my best, and a 17.5" white crappie on 2 lb. test is my best there.

Lipripper · February 28, 2005, 04:23:09 PM

now that sounds like fun

and way to go and it's all in how ya play them

as you well know

silversalmon · March 04, 2005, 04:41:18 PM

Allrighty then, ready, I am Jason from Alaska. I fish for anything that swims up here. This includes, Burbot, Artic Char, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, Northen Pike, Artic Grayling, Dolly Varden, Halibut, and my most prized those lovely Salmon, all 5 spieces, Chinook(king), Sockeye(red), Chum(dog), Pink(humpback), and we'll save the best for last, my true salmon passion, Coho(silver). I have a wonderful wife who knows I am addicted to fishing, due to my son also being an addict at just 8. We have 5 dogs, Great Pyrenees, and soon to have 3 Alpacas. Yep. you got it, Jen is addicted to animals, so we both have our addictions. Live on 4 acres of this beautiful state . The fish I miss fishin for the most, but get a chance every now and then are them old Marble Eyes and them Large Mouths.

DAWG · March 04, 2005, 04:45:25 PM

Thanks for sharing silver.Now we know you are truly addiited ot fishing.

Fish On · March 04, 2005, 05:08:53 PM

Alaska cool welcome

Mike Cork · March 04, 2005, 05:22:40 PM

We have a couple members from up your way, I realize it is a big place. Both of them on in the Air Force. We don't see a whole lot of them because of the time difference but Yellow Puma comes around fairly often. Watch for him, he is addicted to the fishing as well, his passion is salmon, must be something in the water

Glad to have you aboard and look forward to posting with you. Where do you go to get your largemouth fix at

silversalmon · March 05, 2005, 01:26:47 PM

My folks live in Western NY, so that is where I gets my bass fix and walleye fix, when I visit them. Make them go out on the water with me, they know I need to fish when I visit, so they do not mind, my ma fishes too. It is in the water up here, SARS that is, Salmon Are Rapidly Striking, it is a rough disease, but the only cure is too

bucketmouth · March 06, 2005, 09:20:03 PM

Well, Im bucketmouth and I'm addicted to bass fishing. I hail from Ontario Canada, where you can find the best bass fishing this side of the border. I fish mainly the Ottawa river and surrounding lakes and rivers. Looking forward to getting down to the southern states someday to hook into some behemoth largies.... ahh, to dream.

Mike Cork · March 06, 2005, 09:44:13 PM

bucketmouth glad to meet you. You wouldn't happen to know FishingElbow would you? I realize there is a lot of folks up your way but he is one of them

Lipripper · March 07, 2005, 11:02:36 AM
