adam Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Tom, you`d be digging so much trash it would be obnoxious Besides , I bet someone would bust you for it.. Better yet , a canoe ride around the lake sounds good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Attaboy Adam, tell the guy he has to fish with me on the lake and forget about prospecting for a few hours. Old Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Tom you could take up rock skipping. I used to be a local skip champ if ya need a few pointers. Its not how strong you are, but how fast you move your arm. And a good rock helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Springs hold the state Rainbow record, best get your line wet.To me fishing is about as exciting as detecting for gold with the detecter turned OFF. Tom H.

Old Tom Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Frank, sorry about your soda getting all over, I hope none got on your habenero dip. That really sounds like some good stuff. Tom fooled around with the detector and I fished. It was a great couple of days to get out of the valley into the cool pines. It rained off and on and was really welcomed as it is a treat for us. The troll motor broke down and I had to row in order to troll my lures behind the boat. I kept four 12 inchers and released some smaller ones back. An Osprey dove in right in back of us and picked up one of trout that I released. I suppose he has a family to feed also. We ate a couple that night also and man they were good fresh like that. Oh, I did share with Tom as he helped to row me around for a while. He fixed the motor that night and I could troll hands free the next day. Got some more fish and brought them home.
