true story

[Cauthey]

Other than I lost every bass I hooked into so I got skunked.

so you failed your "set hook" roll?

Either that, or he is gimped cause he didn't take Improved Fish Penetration to crank up his hook DCs.

[Bodic]

so you failed your "set hook" roll?

He may have failed that one, but I bet he rolled a 20/100 on the bedroom roll that night :P

One of my guildies went hunting over the winter and bagged two deer. I was disappointed for him when he said that no scroll dropped on either one.

Hearin ya Eric!

Salmon season opens very soon and I have the vacation already scheduled! Word on the forecast is we'll even break 75 for the first time in 9 months both days this weekend

When does the season open. I need to start planning my trip up there so we can fish.

The Beergirl & I woke up this morning on day 2 of a 4 day weekend looking at each other going what do you want to do today after we lift & run. The normal reply is let's go online & geek out. After working out we look at the lake, and the water is glass. Now we're like, what a perfect day. Do we really want to waste it geeking out? We could put the big boat out on the water and hang out on a beach, or put the bass boat out and go fishing. The verdict. Screw DDO let's get the dog & go fishing. The results? A perfect day on the water. Other than I lost every bass I hooked into so I got skunked.

We get back home and debate. Order a pizza so we can geek out or grill some Mahi Mahi and watch the sunset. Fish tacos win out and we get to watch one of the most perfect sunsets over the water in I don't know how long.

So the moral of the story. For those of us who have been geeking out non stop. Step away from the mouse and keyboard and find something to break out of the rut. What a great day! I would have missed it all if I typed in my PW and logged on. I love my DDO, but I'm so glad I didn't log on. Even if I got skunked fishing I still had fish tacos. It was a very pleasant break from the grind. For the folks who are in a DDO rut and grind like we've been in. Step away for a bit you'll be happy you did.

Sounds like a great day We planted a flower/vegetable garden this year so it gives us a good reason to spend time outside and away from the computers. The weather's been beautiful so we've been sitting outside a lot and having fires in our little tabletop burn pit, and actually enjoying our neighbors' company. We also plan on spending some time at my bro-in-law's property this summer, he's got a small fishing pond and lots of land for the kids to run around.

Ok, now I'm jealous.
Why? (listed in order)
1. You have a boat
2. Your girl plays MMO's
3. You were at a beach that isn't 22 degrees.
4. It's not raining constantly where you were.

I feel for you bro. I hate the cold more than anyone on the planet. Give me 130 degrees over ice and snow anyday of the week. It rarely hits 130 here but 125 is very comon and 120 is the norm from July until mid September. I'm fine with that over a cold, windy, wet day, every time.

P.S. I'm assuming even if you wanted a boat it would be futile due to the cold and rain. You'd never enjoy using it.

Hit me up during drunken raid runs tonight or P.M. your phone # so we can discuss this. I think I have the week after the 26th off. Go figure. That's why we need to discuss this.

I was so looking forward to getting out into ocean and bagging some lobsters!

Then a week ago my son broke his leg, and I am stuck home with him for next several weekends. No diving for lobster for a while.

Seems to be a fair number of fishermen/hunters/divers around here!

Ugh. I can take dry heat at least, but I prefer it so cold out it that it hurts your lungs to breathe in. Hate wind and wet cold, but a nice frost will perk you up quick.

Look at the See who you're talikng to on the Khyber thread. We put up 2 different posts of multiple shots of the crew in Havasu drinking on the river. We're old and don't look exactly like we did in our 20's but we're still fighting to stay close & keep up and with the young ones. Some of the pics might be a couple of years old but we still look the same if not better. Just not as good as when we were in our 20's. Age will do that. I wouldn't trade what I have for youth ever. I never want to be young and poor enough to live off of Top Ramon and Del Taco again. Terrible times other than the good friends and a good wife.

Life is good period! If you're alive then life is good. The rest is just how you decide to stack it.

That's on my list. The Beergirl & I were actually planning a trip to Mazatlan yesterday and I was pricing charter boats for Marlin & Mahi. We have 2 weeks off here in 10 days so we're hooking up the bass boat and doing a socal bass fishing trip on a bunch different lakes. Or it's Mazatlan for the big ocean fish and a ton of drinking by the ocean. Still haven't decided. If we don't go to Maz now we're going to go in December and do our Xmas shopping at the same time.

ive never been fresh water fishing all ive done is salt water, big game fishing marlin, tuna, mahimahi, wahoo. giant trevally, netting, spear fishing. Its good out in the south pacific islands of cook islands and samoa and here in NZ. I remember when if we didnt catch anything no dinner :P.

One thing you have to expriance is a big work up? where you have massive bait balls, bait fish and sea birds all over the place, big fish jumping and all the reels screaming.

[NaturalHazard]

ihatefishing. its so boring :O, all i do is sit there and waitwaitwaitwait..., pullpullpull, fish.

maybe you need to try other types of fishing? rod and reel is not the only type of fishing there is. You can also try spear fishing or even bow fishing if you want to go after the fish and not wait for them to jump on your hook. Also diving for crayfish and lobster. I guess it depends on where you live and what you have access to.

Fishing with Dynamite is effective.

[NaturalHazard]

Fishing with Dynamite is effective.

yeah using a chainsaw to open your fridge is effective as well.

We have had a problem with people using dynamite, poisens and other destructive fishing methods, they pretty much destroyed the reef and the ecosystem. You end up killing a lot more than you take and ruin it for tommorrow.

lol I know you prob meant it as a joke but those types of people really **** me off, had one guy blow off his arm using dynamite fishing, the idiot.
