July Fishing?

[beekeeper]

I took the strip pirogue fishing. Turned into a "Joy of Paddling" trip = (no fish and very hot) .
Love the graphite bottom.

Lots of pretty sights.

2ed. trip much better. This time with Beesboy. We traded boats so we could compare them. We like both .

The REAL "Joy of Paddling"

Hot indeed! Looks like you got one real nice one out of the trip.

JD, you did a great job on the pirogue.

I dunno, Joey - was he supposed to hire that handsome movie star, just to sit in his boat and pose with a fish? Seems kinda unfair to the rest of us, doesn't it?

 

[JEM]

Now that's what it's all about!

Now that's what it's all about!

You're right, Matt. Ole BeeKeeper has some well established habit patterns that seem to give him pleasure - wooden boats, fishing, family, an adult beverage from time to time, sharing them all together.

One "good'un" will make the trip worthwhile. Caught 3 more smaller ones, but the big one made my day.
Thanks for the compliment about the pirogue. I am proud of this boat and like the way it fishes.

Matt
For me, a trip like this is "what it is about". Some folks like to paddle and camp. Some just like to paddle. Fishing is the game I like. A boat is a floating pier to fish from. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the boats. Each boat I have built was done to meet my goals and fishing style. I have received a lot of satisfaction and pleasure from them (building and using).

Jack
I,m mad at the actor. :x After a break on shore I couldn't find my hat. :? Could not see it on shore, in the bayou, nor the boat. Finaly found it! That joker was sitting on it. :cry: :lol:

Jack, I'm mad at the actor. :x After a break on shore I couldn't find my hat. :? Could not see it on shore, in the bayou, nor the boat. Finally found it! That joker was sitting on it. :cry: :lol:

Some actors just have NO class, JD. Next time, pay him just a bit more.

Made another "joy of paddling" trip (no fish). It was sill a good day. The boat handled well in the wind and some boat waves. Great sunrise:

There is a fish in there. I just can't find him. :evil:

I know the feeling, JD. There's just GOT to be a fish in a place like that! :?

[Wannabe]

Glad ya had a good time JD. It never hurts to have a good time in a good looking boat. :wink:

Dear JD, here's a Geezer Secret:
#1 Pictures of sunsets are indistinguishable from pictures of sun rises. No one can tell the difference.
#2 Sunsets come at a much more convenient time of day.
#3 (You should be able to fill in #3 for yourself) :wink:

 

[BEARS BUDDY]

Nice bass, young man. Fishing up here has been slow for me.

 

[beekeeper]

Jack
#1 is true, so you only know that :wink: I said it was sunrise. :?
#2 is "convenient" but not fun, when sunrise is 75 -80 degrees, and sunset is 100+.

Mr. Bears
Sometimes it is just good to be going. That only last one or two trips and then I start not enjoying it so much. Better to be going and catching, than to be going and not catching. Glad you shoulder is better.

Joey
Lake Bistineau is like Verret, so many trees you don't know where to start. It is a hard place to figure out, but that is fishing.

Bob .
The stripper is a pleasure to fish out of, but the scratches are painfull.

Have the youngsters camped out in the tent yet?

 

[beekeeper]

Too hot for camping down here. Grandson recently asked how much longer till their fall camping trip. I'm not camping, but I am looking forward to fall.

A ceiling fan in a tent would be very welcome. OH!! and a shower too. (and maybe a fridge with some beer?)
