Steelheading Week #4

Another one bites the dust...

No where near the fishing I was hoping for but managed (again), a few hook ups...

Fished the home waters as well as out East...

Pictures to show...

Eric with Chromer...

Clear Water = HARES EAR = FISH

Falls...

Double This week...

Andrew(TMT) to new Mother-in-Law:

"No need to fear…your grandchildren are going to be hard ass little fuckers who won’t take any crap from anyone…whether it’s a pedophile or a bully, or just a sibling…justice lies in the eyes of the beholder…"

On a softer note:

"I think that as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that the education I gave myself along a creek or lost in the woods is so much more valuable then I ever learned in a book. Something about picking up a black stone fly, throwing it on a hook, and watching brook trout gorge on it moments after it hit the water seems more important then learning how to pronounce 'Allocapnia granulate'…"

Props to the person who gives me the Latin translation...

Didn't have a lick of steel for week #2...

Hooked (and missed) 3 fish in low/slow conditions...

Favorite hole held some fish...

Eric held the only fish of the week...

Tonight the rains kick in...bringing me more "head"...

RIP...

I had this post up in the 6th inning of Game 5...now it's official...

Also, as a side note, my cousin met Mike Lowell on the Mass Pike today...surgery was 100% and he's planning on spring training. In the mean time, he's resting in FL as of this afternoon...

Friends of the trade...

Good Friend Brian has recently gotten into custom rod building...

A great trade that is actually not too bad on the wallet...

Here's some of his recent projects...

A VERY good guy who stands behind his work...please let me (Jcrewhockey03@AOL.com) know if you're interested in a quote and I can pass along his information...

I'm anxious to lay out a few casts with his rods this season...

After CT...

We decided to try for our first steelhead...

Again, it sucked...

But pictures...

Back East...

It sucked...

No bait = no bass or blues

Visited the good old Rhode Island Shore with nothing to show for it...

Wasn't a fun fishing trip...ended up seeing two peanut bunker...nada on fish for me...

Here's pictures...

Update: The Witch

Here we go Paris Palin:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27105917/?GT1=43001

"Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain."

Bitch Who?!...
