We do the same salmon time here, your limit is 3 per day and we usually limit out in like and hour between 3 of us, rest of day is smoking and drinking and eating killer grub on the grill with good friends in the outdoors. i love it, one of my favorite times of the year. I hope its cold this fall, but with spring barely coming on, im not so sure about it.

Yeah there's really nothing better. This particular island was awesome because as far as you could see there was no one in sight. Maybe a few times a day a pick-up truck with fishing rods would drive by (you can drive on the beach ofc) but other than that there is no one there so it's like having your own private island to party your ass off or fish or swim or do whatever.

For sure. Thats how we have it basically, once in a while a boat will go by on the river, but its pretty well not navigable unless you have a canoe or drift boat because of trees down and sand bars etc in places. My friend owns 15 acres along the river that adjoins state land, and we camp and fish on his land, so its pretty private. My friends from high school come up every year almost for a week and we just have a blast. Salmon are huge and fun to try to keep on in the river with all the snags and logs and stuff, its challenging fishing.

You guys are writing more than me in here. LOL

I bet. I've never fished for salmon I bet that's awesome. Salmon is also my favorite fish to eat

A lot of my friends go out on lake michigan charter fishing for them, but that's not as fun to me for some reason. I like to have a fire down by the river and chill. Get my smoke and drink on and just enjoy the surroundings.

Yeah I definitely feel you. Besides outdoor stuff, what other hobbies do you have?

I play a lot of pc games, and I like anything to do with the outdoors. In the summer, we go tubing down the river, about a 6 mile ride, takes about 4 hours. It's fun, we take the kids and a cooler and we have lunch and drinks. Good cheap entertainment, always chicks in bikinis to look at too. I buy state parks passports for all my vehicles, its like $10 a year and you can go to any state/county park for free. So for like $100 investment( I bought us all nice tubes for floating down the river) we go tubing anytime we want all summer long and have a nice place to put in and get out. I like riding motorcycles and dirt bikes quite a bit too.I used to be into sports more, but as I get older I haven't felt the need to play as much as I used to. I played basketball,and ran track(mile, 2mile,and high jumped) and cross country in high school. I still go running once in a while but mainly I go on walks with the wife around our property anymore, we try to get 20 miles a week in. We also walk 2 times a week at my daughters soccer practice for 2 hours. I like to keep my cardio up, because I do a lot of walking hunting and fishing sometimes. I also used to be into martial arts pretty heavily, but got out of it when I was about 30.Lately I have been messing with this parachute cord making stuff out of it, just made a sling for my daughters bb gun yesterday actually. It's pretty cool all the stuff you can make, and I am just getting started at it really. I have pictures of some of the stuff I have made in my profile.
