JustDave

You got it Scott!

Hi turnip, I,d like to try it in March. If thats not open then July. Is there a limit on the pics taken or do you only post the best one?

The month of March is yours, Larry!  And you may post as many pics with the tie as you like.  I do not post them for you unless you are having problems and need my help.

TTTT!!!!!!

Thanks Frank!  TTTT!!!

Ok folks, ya have about a month to let me know if ya want the tie (for the first timers).  About the middle of December I will open it up to everyone!

Ok Scott you talked me into it..............lol...............Hey Turnip put me in for say October maybe by then I will figure out how to put pics on page ..............lmao.............    and thanks.  

P.S. was going to do it anyway......hehehehe.........thinking post pic, post pic, post pic..... maybe it will appear ..................lol............. poof.................. nope nothin......................dern

cwej, your in!  Check the calander at the top of this thread.

cwej, you only need to do a few things.  First, make sure that the person who has the tie before you, in this case it is Bigdog, has your mailing address so he knows where to send the tie!  Second, have fun...Third, make sure you have the address of the person who will receive the tie after you!  Fourth, have much more fun!  Any additional questions, just ask.

You got it Howard!  Openings for 2009 will be filled on a first come first served basis (even if you have already had the tie before) starting December 15, 2008.  So if ya never had it before, ya better let me know about it!

Hi Turnip---I would like to say thanks for all your hard work and effort with the tie thread. Thatis what makes this group special--members that are willing to help others.

I notice that Aug 09 is blank; If nobody is in their you can put me in please! Take Care and God Bless.                                                                               Bill Johnson aka Fishnhunt   

Turnip, I would like to try the tie in  November.  I will have a few months to figure out how to post pictures and such.Allen

You got it, AZAllen!  Check the schedule at the begining of this post.

Erabbit, you got it.  Ole Fishnhunt has it right now.  Channelcat, your choice, January or December of 2009.  12 more days until I open it up...

Ed, I had to remove you from August.  FishnHunt could not use the tie this month due to surgery and so I honored his request for the month of August.  Sorry for the confusion as I only was made aware of this today.  The tie will be in my posession in about a week.

FishnHunt, I have honored your request for August, and if you look to the schedule you will see that I have posted such...Sorry to hear of your health issues.  I would send you a PM but the site doesn't recognise me to use the PM feature...This is my third try at posting this!  So, listen to your doctor, stay well and Merry Christmas!

Pete,

I sent you a PM a while back, so I'm not sure you even received it.  Although I've had the TIE and it's not the 15th, I would like to have it next month (Jan '09).  The Steelhead out here really like the photo ops with the TIE and it gets me out on the water even if I don't want to go (like that's a problem).  I know a lot of our members are iced in or just not on the water/ice in January, but not the case for Oregon boys.

Let me know when you can.

JustDave

Request noted, Dave!  I'll make it official on the 15th and then send it out right away.

Thanks Pete,

First time in a while I had "reply buttons".  If it becomes official, I'll PM with my address.

JustDave

Ok Dave, you are on for January.  As soon as I get the tie I'll send it out to you.  Please email me your addy.

Jessy, sorry, you didn't make the cut.  I would have notified you earlier but I couldn't post yesterday nor could I access my PMs.

December is the only open month for 2009.  I am not sure this will post...

Pete,

Thanks for all you do.  I don't think thePM thing is working for me.  Send me an e-mail at fishingwiththeboys@netzero.com and I'll reply with addy. 

Maybe Wallete King #1 can send me his at the above e-mail address as well and we'll keep it moving as long a UPS USPS are still operating.

JustDave

Thanks guys,

First time in a while able to post again.  Maybe it will stick this time.  I look forward to hosting the TIE once again and passing on the magic when it's done it's damage on the local Steelhead populations.

JustDave

The TIE arrived in Oregon today.  It will be a few days before it gets to hit the water.  Snow storm has the passes closed for a couplr days.

JustDave

TTTT! 

Looks like a busy year for the tie.

Hi Frank!  Yes, it will be a busy year for the tie.  I look forward to seeing the pics and reading the stories!

I was beginning to think someone rubbed the TIE with "Skunk Juice" or something as I hadn't touched a fish while it was in my posession.  But that all changed yesterday on the NF Nehalem River.  With all of the Snow around the new year and the warming trend and rain that followed, most of our rivers have been iffy with off color high water.  Then when it dried out a bit, and the rivers dropped into shape, I was sequestered in a hotel in Geprgia and airplanes to and from for most of what should have been the best fishing of the new year.  When I went down yesterday, the water was low and clear, which is ok, but there just weren't that many fish around.  I fished the morning with no touches, went over to the main Nehalem to meet up with my son and his buddies.  That river is much larger, had significant flooding and is still a few days away from reasonable fishing shape.  After a few fruitless hours, I decided to head back to the NF for the night bite.  It wasn't white hot by any stretch of the imagination, but I did manage a nice buck for my efforts.  My jigs haven't been doing the trick yet this year, so I was drift fishing with a rag and sand shrimp tail.  I'm having a few issues with pics, so may have to post again.

JustDave

Another day, another attempt with an attachment.

Unable to write file \\mplscore5\FishingClubFiles$\Community\Member_Forum\Buck and the TIE(3).jpg   (Referrer: http://www.fishingclub.com/WorkArea...amp;id=-1)

Not sure why I'm getting this error message.

Hey look at that.  Now if it will get to the thread, we're set.

JustDave

This place gets screwy some days.

If you upload them to photobucket you can copy and paste the pics into your post. No links or codes needed, just copy and paste the picture.

The TIE is on it's way to Walleye King #1.  I will be traveling this week and needed to get it moving Friday.  Mojo is still alive and well as the boys and I landed 6 of the 7 fish we hooked yesterday.  Good fishing everyone.

JustDave

Thanks for sharing, Dave!  Ya gotta love the smile on the tie!  Heads up Howard...The tie be on it's way!

Pegsguy--- Tom Are you aware of the fishin Tie??? I f not-You should get involved with it. It is a perpetually shared Nectie (se the posted pic by Just Dave). It is a fun thing to watch. Turnip (Pete) is the controller of the tie> Check with him to eenter the game if you are interested!! He can also explain all the rules of the road. Take Care and God Bless!

Bill J.      

Hey Tom, here is a link to last years journeys of the tie. Click here. That should get you the idea!!

Tom, after you view the link to last years travel of the tie, post your specific questions here.  I'll do my best to answer.  There may be someone else that has some of the same questions...

I want to thank everyone for all the compliments on my Tie pics and a Big Special thanks to Pete for hosting this show. I really enjoyed my time with the Tie and it enjoyed the Sunshine State (liquid sunshine), the weather really put a damper on any attempts at a last minute photo-op so I,m gettin her packed up to send on up to Scotteph. Best of luck to ya Scott.

Thanx Guys...Thanx Pete

Thanks for taking us all fishing with you Larry and Tadpole.

Good luck Sott!!!!!

Thanks for taking us fishing with you, Larry.  It is always nice to see the tie smiling!  Jesse, I will not be taking any sign-ups until October 1, 2009 for the 2010 season, and then those that have never had the tie will have first crack at a slot.  It certainly is great to see the tie getting around the country.  I want to thank everyone who has participated, taken us fishing with them.  I hope folks are getting to know a little about each other as the time goes on and the Tie makes it's rounds.  Good luck to you Scott (should not be any excuses with you booger)!  BTW, muskygirl has started a new tradition and I hope you will take time to check it out and perhaps participate...Another good way to get to know each other!   Fish on!!

I am game just about any time.  Be aware I will be at Harveys lake April 26 - 30 for my season opener with the "Kinger."   I am glad to see the tie moving right along!  This is a great tradition and it works because of you!

Allright, we finally got out for a couple hours this morning, boy was it windy and cold! This is the only one that hit on a jerkbait. Pete, they brought the water up and the docks are in this week, not sure if them taking the water up so fast has the fish messed up or not?

It might, Scott!  Great looking fish there Bro!  I know you was cold out there...I have cleared my calander for Friday.

WTG Scott, Nice catch.

An update on the tie...Stealthfisher has been located and he is looking forward to fishing with the tie.  His address info has been received.  Fish on!!

Scott what do you mean Kinger don't smile just look at him he's always CRACKING a SMILE

 Who loves ya KINGER

That tie must be cursed.

Hey Scott, Send it back and I,ll rub some o this Easter Sunday luck on it for ya....

Lifemember and Bushwacker SMF upstate NY

worked just fine when eye had it. must be a BUSHWACKER thing.

heck my mojo every rubed of on ol silversalmon

No such thing as cursed

I'm starting to think LIP put some bad mojo on the tie. Me and Bruce went to Muddy Run today. I thought, without Pete in the boat we have a good chance of having a good day. Boy was I wrong! Fished for a while with no luck then I finally hooked one on a jerbait, got it to the boat and was ready to land it and it made one final jump and threw the lure. Feeling pretty depressed now not knowing if I'de get another chance just up the bank another one grabbed it but didn't hook-up. This happened one more time before I finally redeemed myself with the pic below. Bruce didn't have any luck. Don't know what was going on as usually this time of year down there we do really well on some big piggys. On a side note, we ran into Ken that I went to the LaCrosse meet with out with his wife and grandkids. Was good to see him as I haven't talked to him in a while. Anyhoo, heres the only fish landed today.

Come on now Scott....thats the saddest face I have ever seen on someone holding a fish.....lololol....hey....there some good points to your month with the tie

1. You had some nice time on the water

2. You made new memories

3. You have fish pictured with the tie

4. Your not skunked with the tie

5. You have fished with other NAFC members while having the tie

6. At least you get to fish for bass this time of the year

Thanks Cheri! lol I wasn't sad at all when the pic was taken, I just happened to look down at the bag the tie was in cause it was about to be blown overboard. I said it before, no one ever takes the pics when I'm ready!

WTG Scott, Next trip out leave the tie under the truck seat and when ya get on the water say loudly "Rats I forgot the Tie" then fill the livewell with fish, go to the landing n take their pics

LIP, us bushwackers don't like to draw attention to ourselves. We like to blend in, so we can bushwack without notice. Ya booger!

Yelp you BUSHWACKERS blend in all right and don't do nothing to draw attention to yourself

Which one is the fish

Hey Lipper---It might be GO Mojo but just where did it go!!! LOL Bill J.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Never had any problems with my mojo working for me and the TIE even the first time eye had it

 

 

 and the second

Heck it even worked with out water

and evenn work up at La Crosse

Yelp no problem with our MOJO and the TIE

Now Now rodrigo have you ever talked to me on a cell phone wheneye was out fishing  Sorry to hear you and SS got washed out when ya'll wanted to go fishing. What's this

I'm headed to a big pond filled with dumb fish in the middle of May.

Them dumb fish will be out in the middle of that BIG Pond if your fishing from shore doing this  

Good luck when you get back out Rodrigo! Well, today was probably the last day for me to fish with the tie and the fishing was so-so at best. Bruce caught four little ones right off the bat but refused to have his picture with the tie. Then I finally got a little one of my own. Then we fished for a while with nothing then shortly before we left I landed the last one, 18 3/4 - 4 1/4#. Both my fish came on jig & pigs. I plan on sending the tie on to stealthfisher on Monday. Good luck with the tie stealthfisher!

Rodrigo, going from the hybrid stripers I was catching last month to what I caught this month is what really got me down.

Way ta go, Scott...Glad to see ya finally hooked up!  Another sucessful month with the tie...Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Scott

That 18"er isn't to shabby in anyone book. It looks like it would eat lips bass for lunch.Thanks for serving the tie.

TTT

Good luck with the tie stealfisher. I hope we here about your sucess.

Dan, I sent "old guard angler" a PM, letting him know that you will be emailing him.  I look forward to seeing your pics!

   SCOTT! Thats a fishing tie. It should smell like fish and old bait.

Yo, Dan...How's it going?  I hope your having good luck with the tie!  Of course, maybe ole Scott sent along the "curse" with the tie...

Stealthfisher, I have emailed you about the location of the tie...Could you please respond!

Oldguardangler, the tie is in the mail, headed in your direction!  Thanks for your response, Dan!  I look forward to viewing your pics!

Pete, I washed the bad mojo LIP put on the tie off so it should be good to go! Hope Dan posts some pics? Hope he had fun with it?

Only MOJO on that TIE last time eye had it was good  stuff and we caught fish when we had it so it's not my fault if this is all you could catch  

OK where are them pictures at

Hey Folks, 

I'm Sorry I have been a little busy with things going on at home.  I did get out with the Tie and it definitely gave me good luck.  May was a funny month.  A lot of rain stirring up the water, Cold Temp, Then Hot Temps and back again.  The fish were probably as confused as I was.  I fish alone on my kayak so getting a good picture is very difficult, especially when I am trying to get The fish, The Tie AND me in the picture.  I did get out with my lovely wife on at least one occassion so they are the better shots.  Well here goes.

I think that's a Windsor Knot.  I usually use a Palomar. But I couldn't fit the loop over my fat head. 

My Wife Gail Wanted into the Game.  But everytime she caugfht a fish I had the Tie down stream.

The best dressed Angler relaxing with a stoogie, waiting for the next bite. Some time when you adjust the knot, it gives you better luck !

One of the warmer days and the bigger ones were a bitin'

Dan "Stealthfisher" Doc NAFC LIFE MEMBER I FISH, THEREFORE I AM<*{{>>< SPARE THE ROD, SPOIL THE FISH! <*(((>>>< ><<<))*>

A nice calm day on the water wearing the NAFC Tie

Dan "Stealthfisher" Doc NAFC LIFE MEMBER I FISH, THEREFORE I AM<*{{>>< SPARE THE ROD, SPOIL THE FISH! <*(((>>>< ><<<))*>

"I had to get Caught just to see that Great NAFC Tie!", said the Pickerel.

I wanted to get this nice Bass back in  the water quickly.  I caught it off a bed and didn't want to hold it out of water long for the Tie Picture.

Nice , Dan!  Good to see Gail with a smile on her face...Karen and I are still praying for her.  Nice fish and great pics...Gotta love the stogie!  Thanks for continuing on the the "Great Tie Tradition"!

Ok, Chris...It's your turn!

I hope I left nothing but Good MOJO on the Tie for Chris. I got a couple of strange looks from passersby when I emerged from the water wearing the Tie. I told them it was a good luck charm being passed around the country to some of the nations " Premier Anglers" . I heard one little boy say to his father, " Dad, He must be a very important fisherman!"   It made me feel that way to be able to participate.      Gailann Looks great, doesn't she.  She's battling the worst and still makes time to take care of us and herself AND, She still wants to fish a lot!  Thanks Everyone For the continuous Thoughts and Prayers for Our Family. They are deeply appreciated.

Go Getum' OldGuardAngler !!!

Chris, have you received the tie?

Here ya go Chris...

Nice lookin' fishies!  Thanks for sharing!!

Chris & Charlie (basser1), did info get passed and the tie go where it should?

Happy 4th everybody!

Well, I didn't get skunked but that is all I can say!  LOL We had a blast on the water though and that was the best part!  I can honestly say that the weather was the worst I have ever fished in, in my life!  Including the severe thunderstorm including the straight down lightening!

Basser1

Chuck G

You may notice I had to make my picture a little larger so you could see my Dink!  LOL Chuck G has a nice 2.5 pounder there!

Good to see ya giving the tie a work out, Charlie!  I thought that maybe Scott rubbed some of that skunk juice on it...lol!  Thanks for sharing!

This is a heads up for those new to the "tie" thread and perhaps new to the BB.  On October 1, 2009 I will make a new post for 2010.  When that happens I will take requests from first timers only.  On December 15, 2009 I will open up any available months to everyone on a first come first served basis.  This has been a privilege to corrordinate this activity for the membership.  So, enjoy the rest of your year with the "Tie"!
