Great story!I enjoy" The Armed Citizen " in National Rifleman magazine as well.

I ve been playing the drums since I am 14.I am 56 years old now.I also play in a band.I like to dig and collect old bottles.I built my own machine to tumble old bottles that will make them look like new again.I own a few guns but do not hunt anymore.I do still target shoot occasionally.Is sitting on the porch and drinking beer considered a hobby?

I agree with bapabear.Tuna seared about 90 seconds a side is fantastic.I agree with all the other fresh water species as well.No one mentioned stripers though.They are delicious!

I love Zara Spooks.Love to walk them.I have had decent success with them as well ,mainly with large mouth bass.

Wow great pictures Rusellgroupp.Thanks everyone for all of the advice.I will keep trying.Sooner or later I will catch one.Thanks again everyone.Tight lines!!!!

This is Fred.

Ive read that fall is a good time for muskies.Is that true.Ive tried fall fishing and
its never really been that great for me.

Ive been fishing since im about five and im fifty six now.Ive caught just about every species in Pa except a Muskie.Ive been targeting them primarily in Leaser Lake and Kearshners creek .Two lakes regularly stocked with Muskie fingerlings every year.People catch them there all the time.I have thrown everything at them and have
never had even one strike.They say they are the fish of 10,000 casts,im at about 100,000 casts at them.Any body have any good tips on time of year and what lure to use.Id love to catch one.Its on my bucket list.Lures Ive tried are Buck Tails,Shad Raps,Baby dolls,#5 Mepps Algias,Spinnerbaits,kitchen sinks,you name it.The fish are there.Ive seen people catch them when ive been there,and Ive seen them porpoise right next to my boat,they give me the middle fin and grin.😆

Yes I do .Primarily in the early spring for stripers.I have a 44" 30lb male on my wall named Fred.I caught him in 2013 from shore.We target them every spring.This year
in 10 trips I only caught one 31" female .Its not as good as it used to be.Same old story.That one fish is the only fish we caught during our annual striper trips this year.Typically we catch Walleye,large mouth and an occasional trout.This year was very slow.This years fish shown in photo.

We used to shoot carp with bow and arrows back in the day in the Tulpehokin creek.What a hoot.That was 25 years ago.Its legal and safe.There were a few instances that trout fisherman were fuming at our activity,but we pointed out on the sign in the parking lot rules and regs stated that bows and arrows are approved for
fishing in Pa.The carp were hogs.We would sneak up on them along the bank,then pop up and
take your shot.It wasnt easy but sometimes you'd connect and the race was on.They would tear off line like crazy.Strong fish.

Blue March is not the lake of choice around here for me anyway.Its crowded and ive never had great success fishing there.As far as boating there is no speed or power restrictions but the area you can open her up is not that large.

Mine is a Ci4 3000.It is composite.I will keep
Fishing with it.Maybe it will grow on me.😁

With the Curado on the non crank side open the side panel and you can flip the 4 little nylon pads up or down to help with the back lashing.I have two on two off.As far as the back lashing they are very forgiving compared to my other nestfesters I have.

I bought my first ugly stick when they first came out around 1980.I still have it to this day.They where the hit ticket back then.

Excellent day!Thanks for posting all of the great pix !
