BOE the Shad Man??

[Bait O' Eggs]

Who were you fishing with last night? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I have been called a lot of things but "Mr." is not one of them. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Had a great time putting some fish in the boat last night. It was raining pretty hard but if the fish are biting, the rain saves the shower later. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Let me know when you are headed this way again, maybe we can go after the elusive Northern Pike Minnow, Since a quality fish I cannot catch this year.

Gonna put the hurt on them again tonight.

Dang! He's invited me to go, but I've been very busy, and unable to. Now I wish I had ditched all of my committments and gone fishing with him!

Sorry BOE, started writing about our trip and got a little carried away, will never happen again..... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] REALLY!!

Ok, so maybe Bait didn't call himself a shad but the boat sure smelled fishy enough. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

As far as I'm concerned, you earned the "MR." after last night.

Thanks for the trip Roy,

The life cycle > roe > fry > fingerling > smolt > juvenile > adult > BOE. As explained to me last night by none other then Mr. Bait O' Eggs, alias......"The Shad Man". That's correct, BOE is a shad. At least that's his theory extounding on his magnetic abilities landing these large herring.

Bait was gracious enough to take a first time shadder out fishing last night, me. After many years avoiding these fish, I finally can say I actually landed a shad. We fished near OC, in the rain and overcast skys and landed 42 shad in 4 hours of fishing. Not bad for 2 rods on what is supposed to be poor fishing conditions. Roy said that was the best he's done on an evening trip. Course, you know who to thank for that. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The hot color was orange/red with white. Tried green, pink, silver, brass, mettalic green, chartruese and mixtures of other colors without much success.

Had a great time catching fish and wanted to thank Roy for showing this first timer the ropes.....I mean fish.

Thanks Mr Shad!! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
