Newbie!

Post by Smelt_seeker »

Hi all,
My names Kyle. Brand new to the forum. Not sure where and exactly how to do much about the forum yet but ill learn! Just wanted to introduce myself. Done some looking around and it seems to be a great group and some extremely helpful folks. I really hope to be able to try the frostbite fishing next year.

Little about myself been fishing since I could hold a pole, I'm 22 now. My dad has a 24ft tompson and it got me into fishing salmon. I purchased a 2003 lund 1675 ss few years ago and really took to salmon the last 2 years. This past fall I was able to upgrade boats and purchased a 2019 lund impact 1875. Over the winter I have been slowing adding and rigging it up. Once the ice brakes I will get a shake down run in and I am extremely excited to get out there.

Last year was my best year I have ever had. Unfortunately didn’t keep track as I will this year. I was able to start fishing salmon the day after ice went out and fished till August when I sold the boat. This year i hope to fish through the fall. Home is just north of van everest so i do a lot of fishing inland sea. Did some in Shelburne bay, willsboro and west port all produced well for me. Extremely excited for 2020 season! Maybe meet new people and plan to learn a lot!

Hey Kyle it’s about time you signed up here at the forum. Lots of great people on here who can show you lots of new things to try on your days out on the water. I Just picked up my new fishing rig today for the 2020 season. You and your dad will have to join Max and I out on the new boat this spring.
