I took the strip pirogue fishing. :D Turned into a "Joy of Paddling" trip = (no fish and very hot) :( .
Love the graphite bottom.

One "good'un" will make the trip worthwhile. Caught 3 more smaller ones, but the big one made my day.
Thanks for the compliment about the pirogue. I am proud of this boat and like the way it fishes.

For me, a trip like this is "what it is about". Some folks like to paddle and camp. Some just like to paddle. Fishing is the game I like. A boat is a floating pier to fish from. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the boats. Each boat I have built was done to meet my goals and fishing style. I have received a lot of satisfaction and pleasure from them (building and using).

I,m mad at the actor. :x After a break on shore I couldn't find my hat. :? Could not see it on shore, in the bayou, nor the boat. Finaly found it! That joker was sitting on it. :cry: :lol:

Some actors just have NO class, JD. Next time, pay him just a bit more.

Dear JD, here's a Geezer Secret:
#1 Pictures of sunsets are indistinguishable from pictures of sun rises. No one can tell the difference.
#2 Sunsets come at a much more convenient time of day.
#3 (You should be able to fill in #3 for yourself) :wink:

#1 is true, so you only know that :wink: I said it was sunrise. :?
#2 is "convenient" but not fun, when sunrise is 75 -80 degrees, and sunset is 100+.

Mr. Bears
Sometimes it is just good to be going. That only last one or two trips and then I start not enjoying it so much. Better to be going and catching, than to be going and not catching. Glad you shoulder is better.

Joey
Lake Bistineau is like Verret, so many trees you don't know where to start. It is a hard place to figure out, but that is fishing.

Bob .
The stripper is a pleasure to fish out of, but the scratches are painfull.
