6-11-12 mathgeek trip
 

Michael(mathgeek) and Josh L. Came this a.m. In some Nasty winds for sure...we didn't stay out long but we hit one bank this mourning and caught all our fish on top water .....once we left that area we made a wrap around whole lake but winds were way to high to fish anything

Josh ledet?

Might be the camera angle, but, 2 of them reds are some pretty color.

Yea they are.

Lol

haha must of been a hard day of fishing if thats all you caught. I bet if I would have gone some of my fish would have resurrected from my freezer and jumped back into the water!

LOL!!!!

Good for the conditions. Was gettin blown off the sidewalk at Lamar.

These guys got skills. I learned more about fishing Big Lake in one day than I have in the past decade. Josh and "W" are a couple of great guys and it was a pleasure fishing with them.

The preceeding was a paid announcement, paid for by the Everybody agree with "W" on everything Campaign. :grinpimp:

I approve this message.

How did Capt "W" do on his test Saturday?

Yes, Inquiring minds would like to know so the bookings can increase

I'd like to take this opportunity to disagree with "W" on a number of points that are nagging me:

1. Hardhead catfish are great in po-boys. Why do you think they invented Tobasco?
2. The slime should be no impediment to keeping and enjoying the gafftopsail catfish.
3. The New Orleans Saints are the superior team to the Chicago Bears.
4. Niissan engines are better!
5. Aluminum boats over fiberglass any day.
6. Black drum are suprisingly palatable.
7. Sheepshead are worth the effort to clean.
8. Math is fun!
9. Shrimp are food and bait.
10. Crabs are bait, not food.

I'm with you on #3, sometimes #7, and possibly #9

Almost forgot, nice trip! also very nice of W taking Mathgeek to some nice spots on the lake.

Lol...had s great time , wish the fishing conditions were better

I still can't believe you eat gaftop po boys..

good times fo sho. and you lost me when you brought up eating gaftops.

pleasure meeting you and getting to talk a little fish science. hope you and the wife enjoy the rest of your time down here

All done ....passed all the computer parts of test...now just have to get papers and pay for licenses

Cha-Ching

congrats man wish you the best with the new venture

Its more of s tax write off than adventure ...because I'm not going to kill my self doing it...just a part time income at my own pace...

Word... Congrats

Nice trip for the conditions

To me, the best guides are the ones who teach me a lot of new things and make me a better angler, so I can, in turn, teach my children new things.

I've been underwhelmed by a lot of guides in too much of a hurry to put a limit of fish in the box regardless of whether the clients are learning or having a good time.

The worst guides are those who neither teach nor put many fish in the box.

"W" is a natural teacher. Being a great teacher has two main components:

1. A mastery and enthusiasm for the subject.
2. Patience and willingness to explain things to novices without being overly judgmental.

"W" and Josh demonstrated both today. Of course, I provided them both with lots of opportunities to demonstrate patience with lots of rookie mistakes.

You definitely got to see a few things that most don't notice trout fishing..... Slicks , busting trout , tailing reds...(tailing Drum) ...schools of bait...
If we would of keep pounding that area over and over we could of picked up more fish but the wind was going to keep blowing us faster and faster over those slicks

Congrats Captain :grinpimp:...........You can use dat xtra ncum 2 help offset yer negative gainz on dat LNG stock. :grinpimp:

MathGeek, I like your style..

This is my problem too. Im not sure what Im looking for and probably run right through fish
