  1. Place has been frustrating and I haven’t bothered much past few years. Don’t like the endless stacked crowds and inevitable Confrontations, or feeling like I’m randomly going to be stabbed. Hopefully this tournament raises solid funding and proceeds entirely donated to the cause.
  2. Trolling is miserable, went fishing with a “weekend warrior” and he insisted upon trolling even when we passed by multiple surface feeds. I took a nap on the bow, and slapped the butt of his rod every 30 minutes for a good laugh. Nothings more fun than dragging a curled up foul-hooked skate every 15 minutes…….
  3. Had the rod propped between my legs most of it, it was extremely awkward and not graceful. Fish made a big run downriver at first and luckily lazily swam around the weeds on the other side of the river after that. Took six minutes or so, but was able to gain line using the rod then put as much back on the reel as possible. Toughest was getting the net, and making sure it could still freely take line. The fish I hooked 30 minutes before felt much larger and straightened my hook.
  4. Most difficult fish I’ve ever landed, sharky reel snapped at the handle a minute into the fight. Think I may have to upgrade, any suggestions for a solid baitfeeder that doesn’t break the bank? That was a 3000 with 15# braid, most likely my fault. The ugly stick is still going strong, no breaking that thing.
  5. I wish I brought a travel spinner though, saw lots of people fishing under the Jackson lake dam, looked like some awesome water to bounce a jig through.
  6. Nate Bennett @ Teton fly fishing. Just got back from the most badass vacation. First time for me fly fishing, I’m hopeless, but he was awesome and patient. We fished a tributary to the fire hole and I somehow managed to catch a bunch, my wife did too (she did much better). What an amazing place, I thought a once in a lifetime trip, but that was heaven. He knows what’s fishing best at whatever time, and aggressively fishes afterwards, always a good sign get some practice in, I felt bad fishing a dream location dropping loops at my feet for the first hour or two. and watch out for the Bison and get bear spray
  7. Baited Saturday night and got a couple. Not what I was hoping for. Then Sunday this behemoth of a snapping turtle kept it quiet still.
  8. Curious about blues this year and if they are large and crushing squid on top, always good exercise launching Roberts and tensions beyond view. Big pre-spawn commons have pushed into my local Charles spot, think I’ll focus there.
  9. That’s awesome the live feed, thought it was snipped to show fish, but doesn’t look like it. I call the tog with the weird flipper, he’s mine.
  10. Nice, I’ll have to keep a closer eye. We have some very tall pines behind the house, maybe a flying squirrel resides back there. love watching the red squirrels dominate the feeder, angry little guys
  11. Do red squirrels come out at night? Feeder was rustling and saw a squirrel, too dark to positively identify, was hoping it was a flying squirrel.
  12. I fish with a bouncing rod 80%, green tube diamond jigs for stripers,wacky senko for lmb, and any skinny small plastic on jig for trout/anything else. Reaction bites I think. I work the rod like a pencil popper on CCC but super low and to the side mainly, when I feel resistance I kinda judge whether to feed it or set immediately.
  13. With lures I like a bobber with trout magnet combo, but that’s boring as heck. Little jig head, (1/8 and under) power bait shiner under 3” and bounce retrieve like a pencil popper just under the surface gets so many strikes. That constant movement has gotten fish biting more than anything else.
  14. Possible way to increase revenue would be citations with zero chance of rebuttal, and increased enforcement. Seems like the easy way, charge more to law-abiding sportsmen for a license. If every person who fished actually paid for a license, coffers would be full and MA could continue to provide all the amazing services currently offered… I have been checked for a license in MA twice in 20 years. Fishing in NY, NH and ME the difference in giving a damn is night and day
  15. Not many “other cultures” buy a boat and wetsuit to launch a dart at a 50, take a muscle pic and send it off. Most everyone is participating in the demise… I primarily carp fish now
