Anyone enjoy fishing?
Stingray:
I haven't done so much as look at my fishing stuff in probably three years. I used to be really into it. This weekend I guess I got the bug. Woke up early Saturday morning, went out to the spidertrap that I call my backyard shed and dug out my fishing gear. Took my reels apart, cleaned & oiled everything, put new line on both, and I was ready to go. It's pretty easy for me to find someone to fish with, a quick call to my father in law and we were on our way. The bass gods were smiling on me, I caught several some of which were pretty good sized ones.
Went fishing again Sunday with a couple of buddys. Caught quite a few then too, although one of my reels ended up breaking. I guess I must be (pardon the pun) hooked again, because I went out at lunch today and bought a new reel, along with a few snazzy new lures.
So anyone else into fishing here?

Hey Z!
Heh, I grew up in the "Sturgeon Capital of Michigan" (that's Black Lake, actually). Sturgeon are very popular there, many sportsmen come from all over to try to get one. Many local bars have sturgeon mounts, and yes, they are scary as hell! I can't imagine swimming in the lake and seeing one of those things come up along side ya, yikes!! Looks like some sort of prehistoric dinosaur of a fish, well, because it is...
But no catch & release with those buggers on Black Lake, you have to spear them during the winter. It's the only time they come up near the surface because they like extremely cold water and tend to stay in the deeper parts of the lake (45ft +) during the summer months. On very rare occasions, you can see them in the summer when they do a "log roll" on the surface. Sometimes one may come up along side your boat, and do a slow roll and you can see this huge, 4ft long white belly pop out of the water.
But the Muskee's are the really scary ones in Black Lake, they do what we call a "fence post" jump. They will shoot straight out the water vertical, then slap down sideways. Makes a huge splash and scares you to death if they do it anywhere near your boat. :)
And yes, the conservation officers (DNR here) are nice to avoid. In Michigan, they have as much or more authority than a state trooper! Not only can they confiscate your equipment and vehicle for game violations, they can also stop you on the highway and give you a speeding ticket or a DUI... We learn to recognize those green pickups from a very early age in northern Mich! I think there are more DNR officers around then there are county sheriff patrols. ;)

stink spray.
do not spray them but spray when you see them coming
I would.
my eye would be crossed and watering but so would theirs.
I would just tell them I farted ;D
I few time of that ... I would be left alone.
this works I have done this at work. 1 certain supervisor leaves me alone now.
every day this jerk would make me miserable. I decided to fart every time the jerk got near me. a diet of beer, beans and boiled eggs will work
