PDX Crew Monthly Meet Ups

INSAYN,

Those pyramid anchors are pretty sweet.   I think you're right about them probably having better bite. However, I don't think they were 10 lb and 8lbs respectively.

Man you have sensitive set of scales in those arms of yours. All I have to use for a scale is my wife's digital bathroom scale, which doesn't seem to want to detect anything under 20lbs.  Last night before the meetup, I weighed them once each with myself in the garage, and the cold 22ºF may have skewed data.  Just a few minutes ago in the warm house, I weighed myself (3 times) and then again with each anchor with myself (3 times each).  Turns out the little one is dead on 8lbs, and the larger of the two came out 11.6 lbs. 

Thanks for the vote of confidence and appropriate need to recheck my data, that just bumped the price up to $23.20  ($2/lb).

D'oh!

I added them to the classified section for those that would like to see, em and buy. 

So how'd it go?

Pure P'Town Love Fest.  Free gear.  Lots of info.  Shared Pizza and Beer.  Watched some insane kayak fishing.  Doesn't get any better.

Something tells me you didn't really want to know..... 

So how'd it go?

Let's see if remember correctly.    
DTS and I drove to the pizza joint arriving just after 7pm, noting that a few guys were already there.  Chatted about some kayak stuff for a few minutes, and then went and ordered a large pizza with damn near everything on it.  
Sat down to continue chatting with the guys while waiting for said pizza to arrive.  Steelheadr popped in the "Game On" DVD for all to watch on the big screen TV.  Pizza arrive and DTS and I scarfed down most of it pretty quick, as we was hungry.  Brian pulled out a batch of colorful rubbers...........er.........I  mean swimbaits and passed them around. Very cool colors!  
The Nothing had a curious infatuation with the amount of "wiggle" they had in them.  

After the movie was over, there was a bit more kayak chit chat, and some folks bailed out.  The remainder of us sat there BS'n for bit longer until Yakintup's better half called him home for desert.   At that point we all decided to head home, as it was going on 930PM.

Yup that's about it.  

Sorry I missed you guys... I ended up helping a buddy move some livestock that were having issues with the cold weather.  By the time I got home a hot shower was the only thing I was up for.

Fun for sure! Great seeing everyone again!

Yes, the swimbaits that were handed out....
I'd just like to say thank you Brian! And thank YOU Andy!
 

Is it me or does that fish look really cold?

A total upside to fishing when it's colder than the fridge, is you really don't need a cooler, burlap, or ice to keep the fish cold.
They'll probably be some of the best tasting fish yet.

The fish I caught ice growing up where always much better then the fish I caught in the summer.  For example, pike caught in the summer tasted like mushy swamp, but those caught ice fishing were firm and tasty.

< ala Tommy Chong> ..."wow, man, instant deep freeze..."

It's funny you mention that. That fish and some others that day did start turning white after I brought them up!

Oh no.  Don't tell me - my fish are gonna need drysuits too!
