mobbsie Posted July 3, 2013 Share #1062 Posted July 3, 2013 My guess is that Augie spoke to the moose, the moose spoke to the fish and they in turn found the oldest amongst the shoal and sacrificed it to Augies hook. Hope the last day went better for you mate, I understand that fish respond more to female pheromones, perhaps you should bring out the feminine side. mobbsie mtaylor, trippwj and Sjors 3 mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augie Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share #1063 Posted July 3, 2013 You may be right Mobbsie. We caught a few but not what we usually do. Ah well, it's a long season. Today's moose was cavorting in the water, just having fun. To be honest, I was glad there were no female pheromones swirling around or it might have gotten ugly :D . They are really great to share an alpine lake with. Now for some shuteye and then back to work so you-know who gets some pictures (be a few days). mtaylor and mobbsie 2 Augie Current Build: US Frigate Confederacy - MS 1:64 Previous Builds : US Brig Syren (MS) - 2013 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Greek Tug Ulises (OcCre) - 2009 (see Completed Ship Gallery) Victory Cross Section (Corel) - 1988 Essex (MS) 1/8"- 1976 Cutty Sark (Revell 1:96) - 1956 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lb0190 Posted July 4, 2013 Share #1069 Posted July 4, 2013 Yes, it is an exciting sport. I just read an article about someone who set a new record catching a 1400 lb moose using only a 100 lb test line.

lb0190 Posted July 4, 2013 Share #1079 Posted July 4, 2013 Prior to retirement, the last place I was assigned was in a country setting away from population due to the noise we generated and the need for security. I went to/from work at daybreak and dusk, just the right time of day for the deer to run. Over the course of ten years I hit six deer. Actually I hit three plus the three that hit me and lets not forget the German Shepherd I hit who was chasing a deer. After the third one, I considered them to be nothing more than large rats with long legs and potatoes for brains. The tree line was close to the road and by the time you seen the long legged rat running at full speed, it was too late to do anything other "than brace for impact" (I think I heard that before in a Star Trek movie). The last one I hit, my wife was with me (who has yet to see this fun event) and as the impact took place, she said "oh my god it's hurt" while I was yelling "DIE YOU SOB DIE," needless to say, she was not pleased with my response. Last week I rec'ed an e-mail obituary where someone I retired with was hit by a deer (same general area) while driving his SUV. The deer was hit by an oncoming car causing it to go airborne right into his windshield killing him. His wife was with him at the time and was fortunate not to be injured. Now, back to ship building... realworkingsailor 1 Regards, Larry ---------------------------------------------------- Current Build US Brig Niagara Completed Builds George W Washburn - 1890 Tugboat Future Builds 18th Century Longboat by MS HM Cutter Cheerful Wappen Von Hamburg by Corel If your not making mistakes, your not challenging yourself – my life has been full of challenges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
