Gone fishin'

[jaybird210]

Takin' a brief hiatus.

Those that know me can reach me by email.
Those that really know me can reach me by way of the dumb phone number.

[80FIRE]

Can't wait to hear about the big one that got away......

BTW Seen this add in the Hinckley Daily Gazzett

Single male looking for single female with fishing boat.
Please send picture of boat and motor.
contact Chief Jay at the fire station

[pcfdcap1]

Don't catch 'em all, Jay, and watch so you don't catch anything from her either:D

[ChiefReason]

Hey, Jay:
You don't even have to set your beer down to set the hook on a fish.
Tighten your drag all the way down and then take a pair of mini-vise grips and continue to tighten the drag until the vise grips start to slip.
A tight drag will complement your 250 lb. test line quite nicely.
Catch and release buddy.
Do you want me to bring my autographed picture of Babe Winkleman with me on the 23rd?
Oh-oh; does anyone else in here know trainer and I are coming to Hinckleyville to play golf on May 23rd? Whew! For a minute, I thought I let the cat out of the bag. Or in this case, the "catfish".:D
CR

[Weruj1]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 23rd ........Hinckley. ...hmmmmmmmmmm

[Adze39]

Catch anything yet Jay?

[ChiefReason]

OK, Jay:
If you aren't tired of eating Mrs. Paul by now, our post total is in jeopardy.
Connecticut is starting to catch up.
Haven't had a good laugh in a while.
Rumor has it that we are getting a new state fire marshal.
MIKEY was at the Sunday nite meeting.
Come on, blow us a kiss.
CR

[pcfdcap1]

Mikey was at the meeting and I missed it....:(

[trainer]

CR, i think he's working on his golf game:)

[jboczek]

I think Jay wants us all to tell him we miss him. Do we?
I missed the meeting again, too. Maybe this Sunday. Dinner at my mother's was good last week. Boy, was it good!

[ChiefReason]

JAY. DEFINE "BRIEF"! :eek:
CR

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

WHERE IS JAYBIRD?

[Ratchet]

Fishing!

Now you're speaking my language. Let's hear some fish-tales Jay...

[jaybird210]

Well, had my hooks in the water trolling these last two weeks; didn't catch a thing. Typical. Next time, I'll try fishing for fishes.:rolleyes:

[Adze39]

Better luck next time!

[jboczek]

Jay, it is good to see our president back. Hope you had a good vacation from all of us.

[RspctFrmCalgary]

JAY!!!!

Welcome back!

Maybe you were trolling in the wrong place hehehe ;)

[Ratchet]

Well, as the saying goes... a bad day fishing is still a pretty good day.

[ChiefReason]

Actually, Jay the Digger was fishing but it was fishing his golf balls out of the water hazards at beautiful Indian Oaks Country Club.
It is only natural, that, if you are going to swear at your ball like a drunken sailor, it will be attracted to the water. And when they weren't landing in the water, they were being attacked by squirrels. The geese were well behaved, but I didn't take my eyes off of them, the sneaky bastards. I have a bad goose experience that I won't go into right now.
Fore!
CR

[jaybird210]

Ah, CR, you know what happened every time I cursed at my ball! It even started working for you! The ball-retriever is the most-used club in my bag!

By the way, it was your ball that the squirrel was after. It was in the fairway, remember? I wasn't in the fairway all day..... :rolleyes:

I think we need to hear about this goose story of yours. It would be therapudic, you know, kinda like CISD. What happended? Get your Christmas Goose early?

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

Now I am REALLY sorry I didnt make the golf outing.

[jboczek]

Jay, I noticed you added something to your signiture - this something new that you figured out on your "brief hiatus"?

[jaybird210]

Needless to say, Jack, my pumper needs much attention.....

[80FIRE]

Nice to have you back with us Jay.

Well, had my hooks in the water trolling these last two weeks; didn't catch a thing. Typical. Next time, I'll try fishing for fishes.

Maybe it was your bait. Try sugar, if that dont work try 20's & 50's

[80FIRE]

You had better have your pumper looked at!!

About fell out of my chair when I read your new signature.

[RspctFrmCalgary]

I'm trying sooooo hard to behave :D

[pcfdcap1]

I'm trying sooooo hard to behave
Hey Sheri, why try to behave, we sure don't down here in the flatland. I think it's time we solicit some help in fixing Jay's pumper. :D
80FIRE, sometimes it's not the pump, just the person running it:p :D :eek: I hear fives and tens will get you just as far as 20s and 50s along Big Rock crick:D

Hey, I took FAE!

As for the bait, I've tried it all. Singles, fives, tens, twenties; hell I even tried a fifty once. That got a nibble. Actually, I got the closest with the dollar bills.....:eek: :o

[pcfdcap1]

stealing a little Steely Dan in your sig now,uh?:cool:

[jaybird210]

pc, you are my idol! Good catch on the Steely Dan; ya know, I've heard that song at least a thousand times, and the last time, that little line just kinda jumped out at me.

[pcfdcap1]

Jay, I'm honored to be your idol. I'll even give myself a hand just for my idol status;)

As for catching the line, when everybody else was being somebody with a life in the 70s, I lived rock music. Album rock it was called then. In fact, I have so much vinyl and concert ticket stubs that I should be filing a TIER II report. If it played on underground FM stations back then, I knew it. Refer to CRs top 10 list on the COJ forums. :D
And, of course, 'If I Leave Here Tomorrow Will You Still Remember Me'

[MikeF25]

CR

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

Golly Chief R...... For an old guy you rock pretty hard.

[ChiefReason]

MIKEY:
I do know a good song when I hear it.....on an oldies station. Not much new appeals to me. I love listening to the blues.
Also will listen to GooGoo Dolls, Creed, Three Doors Down, Five for Fighting. Allman Brothers have a new one out that I plan on buying. It's a throwback to their Southern blues roots.
Yeah. Music has played an important part in my life. I was a percussionist in the high school band. Earned honors at band competitions and stuff.
Oh and congratulations on joining the 1000 plus post club.
That puts two from Illinois in the Top 15.
Illinois rocks! For an old state!;)
CR:cool:

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

I'm just givin you a hard time Chief. I am a MAJOR music nut. One of the nice things about living in a Metro area of about 9 million is the never ending supply of good bands that pass through town. All it takes is time + $$$$... 1000 posts. Man o man I must be full of hot air.

[pcfdcap1]

I didn't see the Eagles, Joe Cocker, Jonny Lang or Buddy Miles but I did see the rest plus:
ELP, CSN, CSN&Y, Alice Cooper, Nazareth(sucked), Rare Earth(really sucked), Moody Blues, Black Oak Arkansas, Allman Bros, J. Giles, Uriah Heep... gotta check my ticket stups again...a whole bunch of opening acts, some good, some bad
Stay tuned

[RspctFrmCalgary]

Music has played an important part in my life. I was a percussionist in the high school band.

OMG me toooo!! LMFAO :D

In Jr. and Sr. High School I played the glockenspiel (bells), the timpani drums (My FAV to play was the War of 1812) *WICKED EVIL GRIN*, xylephone, cymbals, cow bell, chimes, and there was another one like the xylephone (one was wooden one was metal) but I can't remember the name of it.

I also played percussion in the stage band, and if the drummer for stage band didn't show up (out smoking dope with the bass player :rolleyes:) I had to fill in on the drumset, that was gross!! It was the only percussion instrument I never played very well. OK I sucked. I could barely keep a beat with the snare drum and bass drum at the same time, lucky to get a cymbal bang once in awhile LOL but I KICKED ASS at the other percussion instruments :D

I was pretty good at piano too. To my everlasting shame I was required in elementary school to get up on the f'n stage every Monday morning during assembly and play the piano to Oh Canada. I think I did it for 2 years. I hated it.

My love of music continued in my teens, with me carrying a small (then) portable cassette player in my back pack to play when I was at the beach or riding my bike or whatever. Then Astraltunes came out and I was a happy camper!!! For those that have never heard of Astraltunes, it was like a car cassette player, attached to a battery pack, and was worn strapped to your chest in a blue & orange padded case. I wore it EVERYWHERE, skiing, walking, school, everywhere I could get away with it. Then came walkmans and the rest is history. I still listen to tunes 24/7. The radio is ALWAYS on, unless I listen to a CD or happen to have the TV on.

Whew, that's the most I've said in 2 months.

[pcfdcap1]

Sheri, that WAS a mouthful. Did you break into your stash of post surgical painkillers before you wrote:D
Just kidding

Music IS life:cool:

[trainer]

Got a little off subject on this thread, oh-well. It's a little hard for me to swollow that i listen to the oldies, although my kids do like one or two.CR,you must have seen most of them where i did ?, the old RKO.What a place, if it weren't for my stub collection i don't think i would remenber:cool: :rolleyes: :D . I do rember seeing Bowie 3 times and Kiss 4 times,last one with my 16 y/o.

Whats vinyl?






Just kidding, wanted to age some of you older guys.:D

[pcfdcap1]

Thanks,but no thanks Wub, We're aging fast enough without your help:rolleyes:

[ChiefReason]

trainer:
RKO was about the only local venue back then. Always drove into Bettendorf and bought my tickets at Pepe's Tacos. Some were at the Col Ballroom, a couple at Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds and I went to a 3 day event at Sedalia, MO back in '75.
Now, the Mark is the concert venue in the Quad Cities.
I don't know; I still don't have a real desire to fight the traffic into Tinley Park. I'll just buy the CD if I get hard up.
So; anyone caught a nice fish lately? Anyone heard a song about a fish lately?:D
CR

[jaybird210]

Hey, MIKEY, were you a Brandmeier fan? Remember the Wacky-weenies: Wet Dream.

"Kinda had a wet dream.... cruising down the gulf stream.... ooooo, ooooo, oooo, oooooo: wet dream....!"

Or something like that.

[pcfdcap1]

Only you would think of that, my little birdie:eek:

So; anyone caught a nice fish lately? Anyone heard a song about a fish lately?
CR, I haven't been out since the ice left. Not unusual for me. I'll probably get my boat out by August.
However, Iam going salmon fishing on Sat. Each year all of the guys from our deer camp go salmon fishing out of Waukegan. The last 3 years we got gale winded out. This year we might need our long johns. We have 13 in our camp. 12 are going. Should be good:p :D :)
I'll give a report when I get home

[dmsmith]

PC, let me know when you come to Waukegan, I live reeeeeally close to the harbor, maybe we can get together over a Guinness...

Sheri, along with the xylophone, you're thinking of a Marimba, and the metal one is the Vibraphone, or "Vibes" for short. I was a band geek too....actually I still play on a regular basis. I'm glad I stuck with it.

[pcfdcap1]

I'd love to get together, but I'll have to take a rain check.
I'll be surrounded by several AA members and as soon as we leave, my son and I have to go visit my aunt in Prospect Heights. I will be coming in later to go out in one of my hunting partners' private boat though. I'll let you know. Then we can discuss Sammy's cork too.:( Or better yet, the Cubs:( Cards:D rivalry

[pcfdcap1]

DM, I will send a pm tonite when I find out the name of the boat we'll be on in the morning. We could at least say hey if it would work out

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

Jay, I am a long time Steve Dahl fan, but Johnny B. had his moments. Look what happend to him though. He moved away to California and "greener pastures" and BINGO he fell off the face of the earth.

[ChiefReason]

MIKEY:
If you listen to WGN in the morning, Spike O'Dell is from my neck of the woods. He started out on KUUL-FM part time while working at the Farmall plant in East Moline. He became the most popular DJ in the Quad Cities. Then he got the call from Chicago. He had quite a mentor. And his golf also greatly improved along the way.
CR

[trainer]

CR, a good friend of mine played golf with spike, said the best wood in his bag was his pencil.

[pcfdcap1]

Well, the fishing trip was great even if the catching was just average. We were missing 3 from our deer camp instead of 1. The 9 of us(the other 2 were the 2 boat capts)caught 26 cohos in 5 hours. 6 of them are in my smokehouse as I write this. I will share some with any of you that come to PC. Just follow your nose to the smokehouse:p

Those of you that would like to go on a charter out of Waukegan Harbor, on the weekends, call the Harbor(847-244-3133) and ask for the Long Gone III captianed by Loren Goebel. Tell Loren I sent you. He's moored in the north harbor. John Best is my 2nd choice

[dmsmith]

PC, 26 coho is still a pretty good catch, although you have to be careful of the mercury and the PCB's :D I didn't see any PM from you but I'm sure we'll be able to hook up later.

Mikey, I started listening to the Insane Coho Lips with Steve and Gary when they first made it big. They they got lame and started fighting with each other. I thought Johnny B was great with Buzz Kilman, but I have NO idea why he went out west. That was a big mistake.

I've also just realized that this is my 100th post. Whoo Hoo! Guinness time.......:cool:

[pcfdcap1]

We'll be heading back later this year to catch some more.

[pcfdcap1]

Thought I'd make youze guyzz hungry
Post #1600 too

[jaybird210]

I hate fish. Somebody else can have mines.

Johnny and Buzz had a chemistry like Fred and Ginger; Martin and Lewis; Amos and Andy. Anytime you split up a duo like that they'll drop like rocks. And that's exactly what happened. What a shame.

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

Buzz is on with Stever. They are very funny. For all you duffers out there. My little corner of America is going to be in the news all week for the U.S. Open.

[RspctFrmCalgary]

A young woman had been taking golf lessons.

She had just started playing her first round of golf when she suffered a bee sting.

The pain was so intense that she decided to return to the clubhouse.

Her golf pro saw her come into the clubhouse and asked, "Why back in so early? What's wrong?"

"I was stung by a bee." she said.

"Where?" he asked.

"Between the first and second hole" she replied.

He nodded knowingly and said...... "Then your stance is too wide."
