Conference wahoo::fishing

    
    I love it when you are out on the lake early in the a.m. with just
    a little fog hanging over the water, you cast out with your fly
    and wham... you land your first 2lb. smallmouth on a flyrod. As they
    say in the commercial "Oh what a feeling"........
                                             
    
    I also love it when I go fishing instead of listening to the wife
    tell me to take out the trash. But dont tell her that 8')

    ....you pull up to your favorite beach on the Cape and the birds are
    diving everywhere and you land your first four Blue's of the year
    within the the first hour of fishing.
    
    
    also, that your wife finally witness's you catching fish so she can't
    break your rocks anymore about never catching anything!
    
    Wildman  who_had_a_wonderful_forth!

    ....you cast your shinner where you want it to go and WHAM it gets
    hit and when you bring the largemouth to shore and unhook him the
    shinner is still alive and wants to be bait again.

    Casting a popper from the old flyrod getting a hit and either setting
    the hook to quickly or too slowly, cursing to myself, re-cast to same
    spot and BANG!!!!! 
    
    Persistence pays off.
    
    				Bart Lasky

    ... planning pays off; right place, right time, right bait selection,
    perfect cast... and *PANG!* there's just the fish you planned to get!
    
    Makes definitely wonders to your ego!  ;^)
    
    Eki

    ILIW you point to a log and tell your partner, "I guarantee there's a
    bass by that log.  I'm so sure there's a bass by that log that if I
    don't catch one on the first cast, I'll eat this spinnerbait." ......
    and there is and you do.
    
    Also, IHIW there isn't and I don't.
    
    -SSS- 

    I love it when your wading just offshore in the heavy overhanging
    bushes and collect about $30 worth of lures hung up in the limbs
    
    

    
    I love it when someone flames everyone in the conference and then
    asks for HELP with his fishing.............And gets just what he
    really deserves.................................NOTHING in return!!

    If I am the one who flamed everyone I was not aware that I was.  More 
    than likly just stating my opinion on something (power Bait/Chumming)
    
    If it is me Sorry If it is not me sorry IN advance.  and Can I get some
    help on note 1450.

    ILIW that $200.00 package of fishing goodies arrives and you spend
    the next few hours opening everything up and anticipate using every
    little gadget you bought throughout the whole spring/summer/fall.

	ILIW you are able to retrieve the keys you dropped down the
	release hole while ice fishin with friends. ;-)

ILIW this notesfile used to be tame and informative (i.e B.L.)




B.L. = BEFORE LEGEND

ILIW I stop casting for a bit and notice that the only sounds are wind
and birds.

    ILIW some people are NOT heard from cause they are on jury duty!
    
    Legend

    
    ILIW you are on your way to pick up your fishing partner at 4:30
    a.m. and you see two baby foxes, not foxy babes even thought those
    are nice too ;'), on the side of the road watching you drive by.
                    
                                        Walt

ILIW:   Les and Ray have to buy the drinks at McQuales.

        Les says "what are you doing throwing that thing in that color" and then
        has to buy me coffee in the morning for the same reason as the first 
        statement. 

        Gitzit actually thinks he can catch some fish (legal bass) in a 
        Tournament.

	Legend gets on everyones case and you all take him seriously.

	When Bassmaster and Bassco try to psych everyone out.

	I really love it when I'm out fishing with my daughter and watching her
	catch fish and enjoying it at 4 years old.  Now Korey when we get home
	tell Mom we need a bigger boat.

    ILIW you go down to the dock just as the dawn is breaking and the
    mist is rising and you see two deer drinking from the river just
    a few metres away. 
    
    Roger

    
     ILIW people get psyshed out from LE$ and My$elf !!!  Just before a
    tournament. It's a pleasure to see all those tales not reach the
    12" mark at tourney time.
    
     Remember we catch FI$H when it really count$ !!
    
     "BA$$MA$TER" 

    ILIW your so intent on hitting every hole in the lilly pads when you
    suddenly realized that all morning long you didn't get one birdsnest 
    in the baitcaster!

    ILIW I log into the notesfiles and find zero new notes between members
    of a fishing tournie harrassing each other.

    
    
    	ILIW I sit here and don't give a rat's pituty what OTA thinks...
    
    	Gitzit'

    ILIW Tadry points out that the Gitzit is a snot!!

    ILIw a person who calls himself after a rubber tube with tentacles
    pokes fun at me.

    
     ILIW Mr. Moderator has to advise less capable users on how to
    use the NEXT UNSEEN feature. I figure if they can't do a NEXT UNSEEN
    to skip by notes they don't want to read, then they probably can't
    catch fish anyway cause they stop at every stik'en spot on the lake
    and don't go right to the 'honey hole' (Where I've been all along Catching
    Fish!!!)
    
     "SlamMaster"

    ILIW people harass each other into harrassing each other so certain
    notes look like the night fishing tournie notes which started the silly
    set of replies in the first place.

 	yea the Next unseen would work great if all the bantering about the 
tournaments was in one note (like maybe the tournament note) but you guys 
have to spread it to almost every note in the conference.  So if one hits the 
next unseen they may miss something they actualy want to read.   I'm sure 
nobody would complain then.

    (Changing the subject)
    
    ILIW you're fishing in the evening, and about 1/2 hour before it gets
    dark, it goes all quiet, no birdsong, and you just know that this is
    the BEST time!
    
    			Simon

    ILIW you're out with the first morning light, boat wake has died
    and you've stopped the engine; you really can *feel* the silence
    and solitude...
    
    and suddenly it's broken by a *SPLASH* from a ten pound trout and
    all h**l brakes loose in your nerve system!
    
    Eki

    ILIW I catch a 5 lb 2oz monster, 3 2-3 lb mid size and a half dozen or
    so assorted 1-1.5 lb largemouths, the day after a bunch of lunk heads say
    I don't know how to fish.
                        

    ILIW  You get home and find a new rod and reel sitting on the table, 
    Thank you UPS.   Cant wait to try it out, 6' Bionic Blade with an ABU
    521 XLT  
    
    Les

    ILIW everyone in the file thinks your a PUTZ...then you win the
    Pawtuckaway Tourney....with a couple of 7 pounders!

    .34, where did you buy them....................
    
    
    J.

    
    ILIW you fishing partner (yeah, the one who overslept) manages to
    hook a small largemouth on his flyrod, then gets hung up
    on a limb and asks you to untangle the line and fish for him.
    Which you proceed to do but alas the fish escapes (heh,heh) and
    you tell him, " Boy, that was a big one!" He then sulks for the
    rest of the day.....;')
                                    Walt
                             

    ILIW I get to go fishing... any time...any place
       Bob

    ILIW
    
    A  small barbel (3lb) grabs your bait and makes off with it downstream,
    dragging your rod into the river, and you have to go in after it!
    
    			Si

I love it when you return to one of your favorite lakes after moving away and
you catch 6 beautiful keepers in your favorite spot in about 1 hour

    ILIW you send out your favorite BPO IM6 Pitchin Stick that you broke
    retrieving a snag back to BPO with 7 dollars and they return a new one.

    I love it when you can send in your defective battery charger back to
    Bass Pro without any questions! And one week later they send you out a
    new one with a check to cover your shipping charges.
    
    
    Bass-O-Matic

    ILIW you get up despondent Christmas morning because you kept your eye
    in the checkbook and didn't see a check for BPO or Cabello's.  You look
    under the tree and see a small package the right size for a baitcaster
    and low and behold... Santa got the reel afterall.
    
    
    I love it when she then looks right in my eyes and says honey thats
    what money orders are for.  What a wife....

    
    	I vote to have this note deleted also.
