time to move forward

[snowcone]

well friends, we have all waited and hoped and the ice was a bust. and now its time to move on im storing my ice gear for next year with a heavy sigh, but all is good because of all the swell people here we managed to share alot , make new friends, and learn alot...now the fishing will just get better and because of all the friends i have made here and the things i have learned on this site, all of you have made me a better fisherman.  thanx ....the trout are in the rivers, the wallye will soon be and the only problem i will have is deciding on where and when to go ....how about you? since i run all over to fish i hope to have news soon of catches and pics,    im ready      when the silence of the outdoors is broken with that sound.... FISH ON  .....does it get any better   hehehe

Couldn't have said it better.  Can't wait to get the boat out and chase big green basses for the next 9 months!  With some musky fishin thrown in.  My wife says I ruin the fishing by making noise when I get a big one.  Says I look and sound like Mike Iaconelli.

HAHAHA!! At the end of last year when I have a perch or walleye on the rod I'd talk like Troy from the show swamp people, "oohh dis is a twee shaker" followed by a "choot it...CHOOT IT!!" after the fish was in the boat!!

[snowcone]

ha ha ha    hey you guys are a hoot , i can see us in a boat fishin , im sure it would be alot of fun,   we have to give it a try sometime...i would have to wear my vest because im sure i would roll out laughing

[Bryan]

Well you guys come up to Erie this and we'll chase some perch n walleye!

[snowcone]

thanx i will take u up on it sometime...how bout you slab?

[slabslayer]

Love to.  Only bad thing is you'd kick my butt.  Only time I catch a walleye in soft water is by mistake when I'm bass fishing!  But I'd be game.

[Bryan]

Well lets plan on a fishing trip in a few months!

keep me posted if you get something going. Id love to get on some perch.

I am interested on going as well. With my new position at work I will have more days off to fish now. I wont be able to do weekdays but I can do weekends in the summertime.

Perch like this one?


Or these? About 80 fish in a few hours from me and a couple friends.


With the two hook perch rigs we use, you can catch two at a time if you're lucky! I caught "dubs" three times last season.

Well I'm looking at a new boat for this season, it can fish 6-8 people at a time without being over crowded. Plenty of room for a group outing.
If I keep my little Rinker it will be myself and one or two others at a time...tops.
But I try to go out a few weekends a month, so hit me up.

[slabslayer]

Sounds good.  Sundays are best for me.  Going to be busy thru mid-May with a fishing vacation and starting the Great Lakes Largemouth Series.  I'm loving it, but it's a little more work than I thought.

Thank you for the offer and I will take you up on it sometime this summer. I am always wanting to get up to the big lake. Everytime I go up there it is always for walleye but for the last few years I have been craving some lake erie jumbo perch.
