ASK away.. everyone here has always been a good help.
eastcoasttransplant Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 Hey Josh,I joined IL Salmon Unlimited last year and am ready to do it again this year. I may actually help out with some of their marketing and sponsorship projects. Just looking forward to getting back out there and utilizing some of the things that have been shared with me.
Nailer Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Phil, If you have photos from your past fishing trips, please share.
killerbe20 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 thats great! i actually just joined SU WI last spring. Wish I would have a long time ago. They really do great things for the lake, area and our fishery. Unfortunately, in the past there was a "wall" between charter boats and the SU club. Things have definitely changed for the better.
DIRTY DOG Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Ask away, most on here are more than happy to assist. Nothing needed in return, well, maybe a success story once in a while and a photo of the proud fishermen:thumb:. Yup what Tony said , ask what ever you wish.

eastcoasttransplant Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 Hey guys....believe it or not I don't have many pics from last season. I have a few I'll try to get up when I get home tonight. I also would like to post a few pics of the trolling flies I've been tying. Some like sparse flies but I prefer dense flies with large dome eyes to give those salmon a real target point. As for guys here and on many other boards, almost all have been great in answering questions and helping out. Again, thanks all for the help.
eastcoasttransplant Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 This was a pic from this last summer with my father-in-law. Nice day on the water with more fish released.
1mainiac Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 nothing better than taking your father in law fishing every time my wife complains about how much I spend on fishing I remind her I take her dad and he can't afford a lot of gear on a fixed income so I have to buy extra for him to use LOL.
Ashman Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Wish I could use the excuse about taking the father in law.....but he won't get off the couch or roam too far from the TV remote
eastcoasttransplant Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 When I met my father-in-law his fishing knowledge consisted of putting a worm on a hook and sitting there. Then, to my surprise, we actually went on vacation without the wife to Little Sodus Bay and had a blast. Although bad weather kept us off the main lake, we hit so many bass and pike in the bay he said it was a trip he'll never forget.Now he trolls wire line back in NJ for lake trout, heads up to the Salmon River for steelhead and has become a much more diverse fisherman who really enjoys getting out and fishing. We're already planning for him to come out this spring and try coho and brown trout fishing. He's an awesome fishing partner and this was just another day we had a blast out on the water.
jimcr Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Thats really cool, My father in law was a musky chaser, hence they called him musky Ray, I'm sure he's smiling when we have a good day on the water. He would have love to chase the big Kings with us.
