Thought this would be a good spot for this one. The making of new friends. We all love to fish the big lake or we are all nuts, its one or the other. With money we as fishermen spend on this sport we must be nuts, or we just prove how much we really love to catch these fish. For some of us, or should I say most of us, this fishing has been in our back yard for along time. We can sit around and wait for premium days to get out and fish with friends and family. We as locals already have an idea were to start, fishing from information shared by friends.
But, what if you live many hours away? Your not in the local click to here whats been going on, and were the best fishing has been. Hard to wait on the perfect set of weather days needed to make a trip up. So its a crap shoot trying to set up off days and good fishing weather. Just ask fellow fishermen like reelfun or Steely Don. They make the most of what they have at there disposal. This site, and friends that they have made, have helped keep them and others in the loop.
Its you guys that I look at to see that spark, the spark that keeps you coming up, spending money on this sport, and in general just having a blast catching these silver bullets. Thanks guys for keeping that spark going, thanks for the friendship, and thanks for the conversations. I hope all your trips are fun, safe, and memorable. Steely Don, thanks much for dinner the other night.

AMEN, brother!  

Well said!

Thanks for that repost Ed. This year has been challenging for me. Some health issues and that blasted weather up there along with a family commitment or two has made it tough to come up. I have two more newbs waiting to come up with me on my next trip up. I really enjoy the looks on their faces when the fish see the boat and they start spraying that can of whoop ass around. Makes you feel alive when it happens.

Thats what is all about Don. Seeing the newbies with charged up faces. And since you travel far and are very passionate about this fishery is why we nominated you for Travel Ambassador!!!!
