Deep Creek is about 40 minutes north of Homer on the Kenai Peninsula, right next to Ninilchik and Clam Gulch. It is soo awesome to catch all the fresh seafood you want and then have it in your belly by nightfall (which isn't until 12am now). The beers are a must after a long day on the water!! :cheers:

Did you live up here in Alaska??

No i dont, wish i did thou, i lived around the Tacoma, Washington Area, spent about 30 years fishing the Puget Sound and surrounding area's

Up here in NY weedless is your best friend. Especially when they drain the lake, it is very bad and sometimes even weedless get caught.

Took the boat out a few times so far and got a few pike and a couple nice sized walleye...but most days its' just been too damn hot out (90s in NY in May is unheard of).

We have good luck with floating jigs...we bought a lot because they absolutely kill Walleye in Canada (specifically Sainte-Anne-du-Lac, Québec, flown into a camp about 20 mins via float plane).

This is actually a picture of a friend of mine, Brett, many years ago one of the first trips to Canada with a group of ~12 people.

Went trout fishing last night for my second first time and I think I'm hooked.  Have any of you ever tried any of the waterproof disposable cameras?  Would like something to take with to the stream, but I cant justify anything that costs more than $5 dollars to replace considering the fact it only took me about 30 seconds before I took a header and got wet up to my neck.

I used to keep one in my tacklebox to document any large bass I caught.  It always worked perfectly, and I know it got wet on a few occasions.  Never actually completely submerged it though.

Anybody else ever go fishing for Bowfin?  We have quite a few in front of our dock on Lake Champlain, including this one my buddy caught over the holiday:

Nirvana,

My brother in-law is on the Cormorant in Ft Pierce, FL.  Says they usually drift for about 4-6 hours on the way back to port and fish.  You guys do the same?  Just funny to hear about them fishing off of the deck of a cutter.  They usually get some good tuna when they are out.

Cool, my old boss was on the Cormorant, but no we don't get to fish off the boats down here due to a wide variety of issues.

If you fish a stream..... you don't want to wade upstream and you don't to step on rocks that are flat an angled.  I found out the hard way my first time out.  Those flip cameras work pretty good, just stick it in a dry bag or a ziplock baggy and you should be in business.

I don't do any lake fishing so I couldn't tell you anything about that.

Can you describe it? I bet the fishing minds here can figure it out.

It was green and curved like an arch, one piece, with the line attachment coming from about 3/8 of an inch up from the nose. It had two sets of hooks, one in the middle and one towards the rear. The nose below the eye was flatten. When it went through the water it wiggled. My best guess is it was about 2 - 3 inches long.

I have used a waterproof disposable before and it worked. Took pictures snorkeling, the camera was good to so many feet under water. Don't remember how many feet it was anymore.

Love Lazy Ikes, if anyone wants a bait for Crappie, try the Bubble Belly shad or a Crappie Thunder (both with roadrunner heads)

That is it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!   :rofl I recognized the name right off that bat and confirmed it with a google search.

Ah, the balance in my life has been restored.

So which website do you recommend purchasing it from? I weary of websites I don't normally visit.
