Well I now declare this board DEAD until middle of August!

yep...mostly

Plenty of fish to be caught in peace and quiet.....ahhhhhhhhh

That's why I started "Summer Time Fishing Adventures." 

Plan on going out this weekend if I can get my tow rig fixed  (tire)

Jack, ole' friend,
This board don't have to die unless folks wish to R.I.P it until the crazy season on a crazy stream (river) happens again.
TB put it out there , the summer thread..
I'm a year rounded fisher and enjoy the outdoors.. I enjoy the company of folks I have met through this forum.. I don't enjoy the silly season that happens on this forum though. Hence reason I have refrained..
If talk the talk then I expect they walk the talk.. I'm by no means an expert but at least I walk the talk..
I'm willing to give it another shot and share experiences I have as well as enjoy those of others..
I don't want however wish to engage in drama about the internet forums..
Again my thing is about sharing experiences and maybe putting a smile on another face.. To sit at home, work or what ever and read a story, see a photo is what makes my day..
 
Here is my story which put a few smiles on my face to an end of Striper season 2013 and the beginning of trout 2013 to come next week:
 
Many stripers were caught in a short time span but these were the most memorable to me:
My 27 year old son who was laid off week prior joined me on his first striper outing and was rewarded BIG time with many fish: I never laughed so hard.. 
 
 
His brother (twin) who also was rewarded 2 days later on his  first striper outing with the old man.

 
 and finally yes, my ugly mug on an amazing day:

 

Rich.you're correct on that pose with the Striper..It is prettier than you
Good to see you and others are out there fishing. I'm stuck at home with my best friend,Mollie the Boxer dog,because my wife went  to  the daughter in Ohio and we were not invited to go.So I'm spending a lot of time "doing things" around the property.However my day will come to fling a line again.

Jack I never said I was pretty but somehow I always seem to smell like fish, not cologne..
Your most welcome to come to the ADK's next week and swat those black flies away..
Seems they tend to swarm a stinky fisher like me more then others..
 
P.S.
Notice my old wader , fish pants.. Lots of slime on those puppies from recent

I was wondering how the striper hunt was going for you.   Glad you got a few to the boat.   I will have a few reports this year including my big trip to Northern Quebec for Walleye (and Pike if we get some jigging by mistake).  Some big fish up there in past years with Eyes in the high 30's and pike in the high 40's.   Never had a scale.   I even got a Sturgeon close to 5 feet.  Bigger fish have been getting scarcer up there the past few times though.   

Clint,
 I must say you are the inspiration here as twobob reminded me..
We are mostly just old hats that crow a bit..
Have a blast in canada but gosh almighty bring 100% deet and smoke Phat cigars.. It's brutal up there..
Good luck  :)
