It's nice to be able to get up in the morning and watch the sun come up and watching the horses out in the pasture while I sit there and catch the days supper. The pond has grown wonderful with big hand size bluegills and 18 inch bass and they just keep getting bigger. I can fly fish, spin cast or just sit back with a bobber and worm and get all the action I want. No more $100 days to drive and catch nothing.Shakey Jake wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 12:16 pmI stopped fishing since the kids have grown up and away. I'm not close to any fishing spots. Over an hour away from any lake or stream that can be fished. Gave the boat and motor away to a cousin several years ago 'cause it wasn't being used. I'd be at it for sure if I had your pond though! Looks great.

Thank you. It's nice when you get that urge to eat fresh fish and it's right outside for you. Actually this pond is a gift from my wife. She and I used to fish every chance we had. She is actually the one person who got me into Musky fishing for those giants. We spent a lot of time driving, put on a lot of miles and fished for entire weekends just to catch and release. Then her mom got to the point she could not be alone so we took her in and made a room just for her and even put a large trailer hooked up to our house so she could be with us and to take care of her. Of course this meant that we could no longer leave her and we could no longer rely on anybody to feed our horses for us and so we could not go anywhere at all. She was with us for 7 years until she passed last February. My wife knew how much I loved to fish so she satisfied my itch.
Love Lake Erie fishing. It's been awhile since my wife and I fished for Walleyes up there but we sold our boat which wasn't quite big enough at 17 foot.
We call Erie the washing machine. That’s my brother holding the fish. He was yorkin a few minutes before.Team Roper wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 6:00 pmLove Lake Erie fishing.

At times, I wished I would have had a 30 footer. Yikes, that water can get rough in a hurry. Last time I was up at Lake Erie, we went out to go dive on a couple ship wrecks but by the time we got out to where the wreck was, we couldn't even get into the water it was so rough so we had to abort the dives.
