A Year to Remember

Post by Birdee »

With the year ending tonight I took some time to reflect on my past years fishing success. This year was my first full year of fishing regularly. I probably had 30 to 40 days on the water which was more than I expecting but I had a blast!

Started with Ice fishing at our shack with my best crappie ever at 14.25 inches. We actually just got this one back from our taxidermist and it looks great!

The Mount.

I then went down to SW Ontario to fish for Spring Salmon with a good friend of ours. Thanks Markus. :wink:

Image

Image

Came home and hit the Spring Crappies!

Image
Image

Then it was something I'm still not sure I like.. :lol: Gar fishing. My best was 48 inches.

Image

Then Bass season opened. Many after work outings paid off. No real big ones but fun!

Image
Image
Image

Tiny Laker :lol:

Image


A Few Pike!
Image

Image

We had a few great days out on Lake Ontario. Salmon and Rainbows!
Image
Image
Image
Image

My first Carp! Thanks Big-o and Topwater. :wink:
Image

Fished Erie for a weekend. Awesome! Thanks Mark and Hoov! :wink:

Image
Image
Image

Fall Time came and I did a little bit of Fall Smallmouth fishing. My favorite time of year to fish! Fall Colours.

Image
Image

Then came my favorite trip of the year. Bay of Quinte. I had 3 days down there this year and caught my best ever!

Image
Image
Image
My first Sheepie!
Image

My Best!

Image

It's been a year that will be tough to beat for me, but I look forward to trying!

Happy New Year Everyone and All the Best to you in '07.

Birdee :wink:

Congrats on a great year. Great fish ! Going to be tough to do better fish wise, but if you're out 30-40 times in new year, there's no doubt you will have just as great a year ! Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Wow, you had a great year birdee :D It takes a lot of time on the water to find fish like those and of that size :) You worked hard and had the chance to fish with some great people :wink: If only RJ could get 'em like that :lol: :) :wink:

Thanks for sharing!

With a year and post like that Sistah I'd be betting you're making a tonne of seasoned ol' timers jealously impressed.

Awesome stuff Kim.
