port 5/23 A.M (first outing)

[goodtimes]

You think you know a lot....fishing the big lake since the late 70's. ( I was just a kid then )

First off...give credit were credit is due.

To Brent ...you know him now him as Clam ll....Always willing to share and add more to your all ready growing knowledge of great fishery...To Joe...you know him as Mojo... a positive low profile type of guy who prefers to down play his success on the water yet share in great detail.
To SteveO another individual who opened up a whole new opportunity in fishing this big old pond for me and so many others...

There are many others Right Turn,Gilligan, Beehive, Jenny Ann, Salty, Jack Pot, Red Rider, NFN, Awespray , Compulsive, Munchkin, Carolina ....to mention a few...(any one willing to share/or hop on board and learn for that matter)...it's so much more then you know.

This morning I met up with yet three more I had the privilege to meet up with these past few years...I watched them work lines/change out and put fish in the cooler through out the morning...one of them making his own fly to run which in itself was responsible for putting most of the coho in the boat this morning. Tim (Now's the time)...John (Scrapper) and David (Krash)...it was a group effort and you guys earned every one of them.

....You think you know a lot...in truth you have everything to learn.

...A heart felt thanks to you all...not so much for the fishing much more for the friendships...after all thats all that matters in the end.

Chris (Good Times)

Chris nice 1st outing.

Way to go guys! It'd be difficult to go out with a better crew GT. I'm glad that you were able to relax and enjoy the trip! You didn't say, but did Scrapper catch the Laker?

Carolina

[salty]

way to go chris and crew i'll make it one of these days
i did get enough time off today to get the boat uncovered and home from storage and got the motors started the way work is i should be able to get out sometime around 4 july

note to self --- put kill switch in "ON" position before trying to start motors

carolina --- its a good bet scrapper got the laker or at least rigged that rod

[pbkintopf]

Very Nice Catch!

Chris......

Congrats on getting out there for the first time with GOOD TIMES and putting some nice fish in the box!!!

You had a great crew on board.......The fog and NOAA forecast from last night scared me off the water this morning as I canceled my morning trip........

We will get together this week one night to get a trip in ----- If you really want to give credit where credit is due, look in the mirror ---- you are an accomplished fisherman in your own right, and you have a knack of doing some great experimenting "squid master"......

It was fun talking with you, Krash, Tim and Scrapper last night while Tim was getting his boat into the slip.....

Great job getting the boys on fish!

[krash]

Chris,
Thanks again for a fun trip out on the pond today and for a good night rest on the living room couch. I can crash just about anywhere but thanks for the hospitality of your home. It was a blast fishing with crew of people Chris, Tim and Tony OOps I mean scrapper. John there i go again calling you names.
Carolina,
I have to take the credit for the laker. I not only reeled it in, I also selected the lure that caught the fish. Good thing Chris was good enough to keep that fish. Thanks to the rest of the guys I got to bring the rest of the edible fish home with me.
Talk to you all later. Krash

[carolina]

I think you called it right Clam, he's like NTT2.0, sneaky good about putting fish in the box, just never toots his own whistle very much!

Carolina

p.s. Okay Krash, I'll try and believe you, even though I figure you're covering for Scrapper! ;D

[scrapper]

Well said Chris, I couldn't agree more. Not much to add except, Thanks much!

p.s. No more laker boy, ain't that right krash the laker lover.

p.p.s. Bite Me, thanks for letting me crash at your place.

Chris: WOW, great catch and what a crew. You really scrapped the bottom of the barrel on that trip.

You could not of had a better crew.

Chris: You are starting this year like you ended last year. Hope to see you on the water soon.

[biteme]

Chris you run a great program on your boat, it’s always a pleaser to get out and fish with you. The camaraderie and non stop jokes were just what I needed after a stress full day Sat.

Scrapper thanks for the help splashing the boat.
David thanks for taking one (laker) for the team.

Tim

[aquaholic]

Nice job guys and great report Chris!

[munchkin]

Nice one Good times!! Hope our paths cross again shortly!

[gilligan]

good going guys,glad to see you got out chris,im not ready to give up on laker boy yet,he still hasnt fish up north yet

[mojorisin]

OK, my turn.

If you want to talk about low-key and below the radar, that is Chris. His fish catching does all his talking. Chris has been doing this for 40 years and his wisdom far exceeds what I'll ever know. He's been around great fishermen on the Pond from his late Father to the late Captain Jack from The Leader in Milwaukee.

SteveO teaching Chris a meat program is almost not fair to the fish and the rest of us as Chris' arsenal is second to none including a very strong squid program that I want to learn.

I can't wait to fish with Chris. I am thankful he'll be on my boat for the Port Shootout tournament. I will be taking lots of notes that day. Chris, you are one of the nicest and kindest men I have ever met and you have a great heart too. OK, now that the sappy stuff is done, you better catch loads of fish during the tourney or I might just need to take some of the nice things back ;D


Nice job Good Times and crew yesterday. It looks like the bite got going fairly well after Joey and I pulled the plug. What a crew you had.

Tim, why the name change from NTT 2.0 to biteme?
