end of the year report

Sorry folks. I know i promised to keep up on the blogging. I fell short on my word. i dodnt do much fishing this year. I moved to the next town over. i will try to get more photos next year. i did buy myself a pontoon boat and wader to get in those "hard to get spots". I know for sure that i will be doing more trout fishing for sure.

I will always take that extra moment to remember our good ol friend Dave. especially when im fishing in our favorite carp hole. i am hoping to get a new and better camera than what i have. on my first time with my pontoon. i dropped my phone and camera in the lake. (oops) they both still work. but not so well.

Here it is coming into winter and the fish are "sleeping". I will keep a better eye out on the coments. Hope everyone haves a happy holiday and new year. and i will talk to you guys later. HAPPY FISHING!

First run of the year

Our once lively fishing hole is now calm and shallow, quiet and somewhat peaceful. But, i noticed it was too peaceful. I only spent an hour and a half but i didn't see any carp in sight. The only noise was from a pair of ducks that kept playing in the water, splashing each other, like toddlers in the kiddy pool. So, i decided to put a popper on, and see if i could rouse some bluegills up, which also ended up with no bites or anything. i finally called it quits for the evening as I was getting hungry. Who know maybe another week or so of this warm sunny weather will kick those carp into spawning gear as for after that, it will be a fun time catching them. Well until next time....

The Begining

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the new Zonkers Fishing Page. This blog Will be just like the one Dave did and will be done with the gentleness and care like Dave had. Dave will always be remembered and just a breif description of what happened, Dave had kidney problems it spread to his lungs and then to his brain. he went in for brain surgury to have the tumors removed. went home and his brain flooded with blood. Dave lived until March 22, 2009. He was one hell of a man and he will be missed.

Just to introduce myself. My name is Josh and I was Dave's Fishing partner here in Eugene. This new page will be the same layout as the old one and will have great pictures and posts. i will enjoy being able to bring you the news of the fish and I hope you enjoy the New Fishing Year. good luck and have fun but most of all be safe.
