This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I'm Thankful For...(NOTE: lots o' pics)

Post by wolfe »

I hope all of you had a very nice Thanksgiving holiday.

I got away with my "pack" (including my Mom) for the long wknd. It was good to be back at the cottage after a long absence now that school has started.

Here are some things I'm thankful for:

A nice largemouth I pulled out near the pads on a Scumfrog (thx Bowzog & Slushy).
Image

Bass were in "summer mode" still, hitting surface lures. I lost a few good ones, and I think my success rate on hook-ups to boating them was less than 25%. @#$%^!

Tiny Torpedo's good smallie -- tempted by a Torpedo, of course.
Image

This pike, around 27+" was actually boated by Tyler as well...(he's getting too good)...but was feisty and he opted out of handling it. Smashed a plastic worm next to the boat and made the drag scream. Fun stuff.
Image

Shane's perch, caught on a beautiful fall afternoon (w/ worm & bobber).
Image

I'm always thankful for opportunities to view nature. Here are some gulls on what we call "Guano Rock" :lol: -- there are a couple of Mergansers in there, too.

A misty autumn morning shot...

A pretty marsh near our cottage:

We took a 2-mile walk one afternoon (just Brian, Tyler & I) and were rewarded for our efforts by this fantastic view. A slice o' Heaven for sure. Here's a shot looking N.W. over Wolfe:

Looking South...

I'm very thankful for my Mom, who had to have an emergency procedure for a big blockage in August. She's doing better now. We actually drove her to this lookout sight -- no more 2-mile walks for her, but we knew this view would knock her socks off. I'm especially thankful for the 2 little rugrats in the background. Notice they are not standing still; they rarely are, by choice.
Image

It was a good few days. We pulled out the hoist with the help of our ATV on Monday. The boat's back here in NY, and the dock will come out in the next couple of weeks. UGH. Depressing.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the pic's, which I managed to upload and post without losing the thread for once.

Autumn is always bittersweet, great scenery, cool days and nights, still some great fishing days but you know that blasted winter is just around the corner. Thanks for the great post, looks like you had the perfect weekend.
