Fishing Trips are awesome
Fishing Trips are awesome
Was gone for the last 3 days.
Drove 5 hours with my dad to Diamond Lake, in Oregon, stayed overnight, spent the entire Tuesday fishing, and returned home today.
I spent the entire first half of the day switching around lures and baits with no luck, my grandpa (who was on the trip with us) caught 2 fish around 12 inches, then we went in for lunch.
After lunch (Around 3:30pm) we went back out in the boat and did some trolling on the south end of the lake, I went through my lures and just went with the oldest lure I had.
It was a VERY Old brass triple teaser, rust spots on it, and a dent in it. I threw my line into the water and within 2 minutes I hooked my first fish, got it into the boat, it was about 18", put it on the stringer, and pretty much the second I threw my line BACK into the water, snagged another fish, around 18-19", this continued 2 more times until I had a total of 4 fish that were 18-22" all in the span of about an hour.
So the lesson to learn from this, never throw a lure away, you never know what will work.
Had a fantastic time.

Good haul
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

And many other firearms
