Wilson today with Scrimmy

No Wishin Just Fishin · 01-15-2004, 05:16 PM

Had a most enjoyable day with Scrimmy in His driftboat today on the Wilson. It was marginal for height (7 foot) but was perfect for color. We got one apiece and each had another chance. I think all 6 boats on the river had at least one fish. Also saw no bank fishermen. Just like the old days no pressure and there are fish there.

what boat were you in No Wishin'? My buddies and I were in my green fishcraft. Your right though, wasn't a bad day all in all.

Later Geoff

7 feet? Must have been a quick trip!

Sounds like a good trip. And thanks for sharing your day.

Skrimmy, did you pull plugs?

Uglygreen · 01-15-2004, 09:11 PM

Pulling plugs at 7 feet on the Wilson would be ALOT of work. Not many would be man enough to do that!

skrimmy · 01-15-2004, 09:40 PM

Weekend Warrior, yep, we saw you. We were the boat that was just below you when you pulled anchor and went up 50 yards. We slid into where you were and picked up those fish there. We were in the shiny looking Alumaweld that Flatfish has nicknamed the pimpmobile!

Zaq, UG, nope, no plugs. Drifted the whole day. I'm certainly not good enough on the sticks to have pulled plugs in that water today!!

And Bruce, YES...it WAS a most enjoyable day, THANKS! We'll do it again for sure.

Bruce & Bob...

Way to go...

Keep those positive reports coming guys...

Hope to share some water very soon...

ZaQ · 01-16-2004, 04:28 AM

That was my point, Skrimmy saw me work the plugs in some conditions over there one time.

Tony · 01-16-2004, 05:17 AM

Saw you guys. Looked like you were having a great time.

Good job!

We were in the old gray fiberglass boat. We didn't do too bad either. Went 4 for 6 hookups, kept 2 for the dinner table and released the rest.

Seems like everytime I take some new friend for the first time we get into the fish.

Tried pulling plugs a couple of times, but just too much water.

skrimmy,

Were you using that 4 lb. Vanish flourocarbon for leader?

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">Zaq, you not only skillfully ran plugs in heavy water that day, you did it in gail force winds. You're definitely one of the few out there with the huevos to handle that!

And dangit if you didn't limit out in a half hour in those conditions!

Sturgeon Tom · 01-16-2004, 08:20 AM

Bob It looks like you are getting real good on the sticks. Good job Bruce and Bob and glad you had such a good day.

Tom
He is still lousy on the sticks, but can catch fish. I was white knuckled all day when he was rowing. :grin:

skrimmy · 01-16-2004, 09:02 AM

Bruce, hey you came back alive didn't you?

No charge for the "E ticket ride"! :grin:
Tom, you don't need to be too good on the sticks to run that stretch. But let's just say I won't be running the minefield any time soon!

Bruce is pretty darn good on the sticks and knows that river well.....we'll have to work on those hook setting reflexes though :grin: :grin:

No Wishin Just Fishin · 01-16-2004, 09:32 AM

At my age the fish is usually already in the hatchery before I feel it and set the hook :grin:

Hogmaster · 01-16-2004, 10:12 AM

Why do I feel another "Impeller Turns" chapter will be forthcoming when I get in your ride, Skrimmysan? :grin: :grin: :grin:

It isn't traditional to row 360s around the hole, but I guess you cover the water that way! :shocked:

skrimmy · 01-16-2004, 10:19 AM

Hogmassa, it's not just my boat, but any boat you're in, from what I hear! :grin:

360's? No extra charge for those!

SHOUGALNITE · 01-16-2004, 04:01 PM

No Wishin Just Fishin · 01-16-2004, 11:43 PM

360 would be good can you say 540 with 180 3 times lol
