You Guys Are Freakin' Awesome!

3-4 weeks ago thanks to the info on this board I caught my 1st Salmon. Nothing big, 18" but beautiful.

Well thanks again to info on this board, yesterday I landed my 1st Laker, again nothing huge 22", but what a fight. Of course it was like a fire-drill when 3 of 4 lines went off at once. Yahoo!
When the Laker hit I slowed to almost idle to reel him in and simultaneously, two rods went down. (I'm still smiling).

Nothing worked like I thought it would though. I was told NEVER to troll against the wind. EVERY fish came against the wind. I caught the laker at 2.4mph. When I slowed to 1.3 THAT'S when the Salmon hit. Really Weird. Anyway. . .

I had 2 lead-core out at 4 and 5 colors. The 2 riggers were set at 25' down & 30'down, and 30' & 50'back.

Total of 6 Salmon (all short), 1 Laker and 2 Smallmouth. (No, the smallies did not take the same lures).

The coldwater species hit on :
Pink w/ black dot Top Gun (2)
Red, White and Blue Top Gun (2)
Orange w/ Black dot DB Smelt (3)

See ya this weekend.

Oh, and thanks again to the guy who caught my boat before it blew offshore. I'll be tying to the dock from now on prior to trailering instead of just beaching. Lesson learned!

Goods people for sure, I've met more new good people and friends here in 3 years than the previous 60.

Too many new friends to list here but, I have two guys coming to help me on a project at camp this weekend (unsolicted, they offered on thier own)Slipknot (Laconia) is helping and Donkey Dave (you gotta loose that handle) is driving 1.5 hours down to help us, how's that for good people.

I'm 100% positive I have yet to meet many more good people through this web site.

You couldn't have picked a better website to find then this one. I like John have met SOO many people on here it's not even funny, without this website i probably would have never met these people whom i now consider some of my very good friends Once again "Hat's Off" to A.J. and Travis for putting this all together for all of us to take advantage of. God know's this website has certainly helped to improve my knowledge (What little i have LOL) of fishing for Salmon and Lakers as i now catch more fish then i have ever caught before due to this website, very rarely do we get skunked anymore, It does happen but not as frequently as it used too LOL Now if i could only get this stupid "Donkey" off of my back i would be all set LOL Hey Adrien does it have to be a Salmon? or would a big Laker count towards getting rid of the Nick?

BioMoe... hope you put some of my info to use? Hope we can get out some time for a troll. Congratulations on the fish. Great fun, isn't it?

Dave... in two more days, you WILL lose the nickname. I have a feeling... a hunch... you're due.
