The fishing thread ( not about fish fertilizer)

I had no idea this was a problem

Worms in the Woods - In The Hills

Long considered the best friends of gardeners, earthworms are proving to be formidable enemies of the forest.

Earthworms: Friend or Foe?

Chances are, if you're an outdoor gardener, you come across lots of earthworms during the summer months. Little ones, big ones, short ones...

I miss my boat. Had a 16ft fiberglass, with a 90 evinrude. Started leaking somewhere in the bottom rotted the runners out and that was it. Didn't have the time to strip it and re do the runners so i sold it to some guy for the motor. Makes me sad. Every time Im in the market again some dumb shit happens and I can't afford it again (like having to spend 3 grand on the truck to fix it) grrr
One day (soon) I hope.

I had to put a new deck in mine before I could sell it, the plywood rotted out after 30 years. Of course it had to be hot as hell while I was doing it.

I wish it was just the plywood on mine. Once I tore it out I seen the ribs and runners were totally fd and it just wasn't worth my time. That boat looks alot like my old one

What about musky on a husky

I was reading the labels on the bike trying to find Husky cause that's no pike.

Man I’d love to catch a big northern pike someday. My Dad grew up just outside Ann Arbor and that’s all he still talks about to today.

Got out for a quickie. Just an hour

I fished for almost 3 seasons of long days persevering without landing any migratory species from my local river.

Then in the last 3 weeks of this season I landed 2 salmon and 3 sea trout omg I was delighted when I got that tug!






The tugs the drug!

I ruined 2 phones this year with 80% of my angling pic's in them, I've probably shared the best of them but there's stills lots of fond memories lost, the little things like pic's of pools or stretches of river let you remember the day/night you had.

The sun was just coming up and I'd landed 6 sea trout that night.

Comedy at the riverside...
Earlier in the season I landed a beauty of a brown trout maybe 4/5lbs it was a real cracker!
So I've used a back eddy to land the fish in, it's in 2/3" of water (still hooked) the splashing around had stirred up the bottom and the water was dirty.

So I got my out my phone and framed a picture, hmm i decided it needed the silt rinsed off for a nice photo, I kicked some clean water over it and it exploded back into life thrashing and splashing then shot between my feet leaving the fly hooked in my gator...no pictures snapped lol

I don't mind losing them after a bit of a fight but it's nice to get a picture when you do land a nice one.

Lol. Ya man had that happen before too funny
The worst (not funny) time was I was keeping a nice rainbow for the smoker so I cut it's gills to bleed it out, went to rinse it off and phhhfew! It took off with a cut throat bleeding out . Thought it would pop up down river...I searched for an hour. Didn't find it . Lesson ...Make sure to bonk your fish.

...and you think you're doing a good thing when you release "little" Goldy

Once They Were Pets. Now Giant Goldfish Are Menacing the Great Lakes.

Released into the wild, the humble goldfish can grow to a monstrous size and destroy habitats for native species. Canadian researchers are tracking the fish, so that they might be culled.
