Fishing Opener Checklist

[AceintheHole]

I'll check it Would either of you happen to have an extra rain suit I seem to have misplaced mine. Are you getting a little excited I know I am.

[Grant Pearson]

I am too. I can't wait to get out and try to do a little pitching for some pike. Should be a great time. I'm a giddy just thinking about it!

[Ray Esboldt]

Arctic Armor so I don't freeze solid.

[FishinChad]

Camera, measuring tape, and scale, CMPR. Then again if you forget any of these, you will catch a huge fish. Seems to only happen when camera is forgotten.

Poles, Tackle, and Food...

Winter clothes to keep warm this weekend...

<--Will be fishing in this exact spot (avatar, 14.5" caught last year pike fishing)

Charge batteries...

Towel for slime and to dry hands so they dont freeze.

[Grant Pearson]

extra poles and lures for when sandmannd forgot to pack something or wants to borrow something because he forgot his...

[Sandmannd]

Chris, I have a light jacket I can bring and since you are smaller than me I'm sure you can wear stuff under it. I'll have my arctic armour on.

By the way, Grant gets giddy when he sees a minnow.

That's why I'm bringing Chris out, extra person for when I throw your hiney overboard!!!!

[Grant Pearson]

.....And Shane gets giddy when someone lets him reel in a fish. That way he doesn't forget how it feels.

BTW, the minnows I use usually are bigger than the fish you bring home.

you wouldn't throw me overboard. Who would help you with all the heavy stuff around the house? The wife would have your you know what if you threw me overboard. Then nothing would get done!!!

[BigWadeS]

throw you overboard like how you threw the anchor over board......

[Grant Pearson]

if I go overboard, I'll make sure someone comes with!!!!! You guys may have a few pounds on me, but I won't be the only one getting wet!!!!!!!

[BigWadeS]

yup, I hear you besides you the little bit of splash from hitting the water...hey on a serious note though Grant, let me know what you are bringing for bait

[glenn57]

looks like a rough group of fishermen you guys have there!

[Grant Pearson]

it's a fun group

[Grant Pearson]

bigwade, what do we need for bait?

[DT10 Guy]

Sandmannd and Kingfisher1, you guys are great. I love the constant bickering. Just like an old married couple

[glenn57]

you dont have to be old to bicker. besides a little fun and games always helps.

[Grant Pearson]

Thanks DT10. It was fun fishing with you last weekend. We do bicker a lot, but we're always having fun. It's always an adventure when you're around Sandmannd!

[DT10 Guy]

Kingfisher1, it was fun fishing the Croix with you guys. I loved it when Sandmannd was having an "issue" with his weight on the worm spinner. Your reaction to the weight was classic!

[Grant Pearson]

It's not the first time that I've told him about that issue!! lol. That's one thing about fishing with us, if you're not laughing at some point, you don't have a sense of humor.

[Sandmannd]

Not a rough group at all. We give each other heck all the time, but at the end of it all we are great friends too. We met each other off this site and got to be friends beyond fishing. DT10, it was great having you with and you are welcome anytime there is an open seat. I'll get the pics to you, my usb is down at work and haven't had time at home.

Besides, kingfisher is like the redheaded stepkid everyone needs around. You can kick him while he's down and he just keep coming back for more.
