Hello from Northern Wisconsin

[CoinShooter-Craig]

I'm a memeber of a couple metal detecting forums and I just stumbled across this one the other day. I wish I would have found it sooner because it seems like a good place to talk to fellow detectorists / Treasure Hunters. Besides enjoying metal detecting , I like to fish for trout in rivers / streams , and play my Bass guitar in a classic rock cover band. . We play central and Northern Wisconsin. I'm reluctant to post my picture , because I looked at a few recent mug shot posts and saw that several pretty women have posted their pictures. What a tuff act to follow!!Anyways I'll go ahead and post a picture of me so you have an idea what I look like if you read any of my posts. Happy Hunting and I hope to get to know some of you soon.

I'm not lookin for love , just people who share my same interests - Like metal detecting for example! CoinShooter-Craig

Welcome, and good luck finding love on TreasureNet.

Ya , the trout is a decent size for an inland Brown Trout - even though I've lost bigger ones. And yes , it tasted good. I usually let 95% of my fish go , but I kept that one. CoinShooter-Craig

Nice brown trout. I'm from up by Eagle River, I was talking to panelman a couple of nights ago. I see you play guitar, do you know Brucie? I don't want to say his last name, but he's the big guy in the band..

 

[CoinShooter-Craig]

Ya I know them both Big and Little Brucie. I used to be in a band with little Brucie a while back - I'll PM you the details later. CoinShooter-Craig

Welcome Craig.
Great looking trout. My family and I have vacationed up in Northern Wisconsin off and on since the 1960's, at Evergreen Lodge in Boulder Junction. I love that area. Lot's of great memories. My son, my brother, and I were just up there last June.
Love your choice of music (RUSH). My buddies and I used to go to RUSH concerts in the mid to late 70's. Ya gotta love "2112".
Looking forward to seeing your finds,
MM

That's a nice catch you have there. Welcome to Mugs

 

[Blacksheep]

Welcome to TNET/Mugs, used to slide through your area of Wisconsin via Keshena when traveling to
my parents home in St. Germain, miss that particular drive. (quicker since 29 went to 4 lanes)

Does your band have a site/myspace page?

 

[CoinShooter-Craig]

Hi Doug. Thanks for the compliment on the trout. There is no beter three piece band than RUSH. Never has been and probably never will be.Geddy Lee is a Major influence on my Bass playing style. I kinda get a little funky like Flea in the Chili Peppers and a little wierd like Les in Primus. Mesh that alltogether and that kinda sums up my playing ( I guess you could throw a little Iron Maiden in there as well - Lol). Nice Northen Pike back at ya there. And yes "2112" is a masterpiece. Catch ya later and Happy Hunting. CoinShooter-Craig

Hi there Modern Miner (Doug) This is a Northern Pike that I caught within a 5 minute walk from my house. It caught it in the same river that I caught the Brown trout in the photo above out of. Don't mind my messy garage! Thanks for sharing your fish photo. I always enjoy seeing photos of fish and metal detecting finds. CoinShooter-Craig

Craig,
Now THAT's a fish!!!! Caught on a bucktail? You know in all the years I've fished up there I've never caught a Walleye yet.
Here's a few more pix from our trip, my son Mike, and my corny brother Steve.

I caught the northen pike on a jointed Rebel kinda like a rapala but a little different. I was fishing for some of the big smallmouth that are in the Wolf river and I ended up hooking that. You never know what your'e going to catch in the Wolf River. In the same area I caught the Northern in I missed a Musky that I know had to be over 50+ inches. Nice Musky by the way! Hes a fatty!! Don't worry the Walleye will come. Post lake dam in Langlade county has awesome walleyes in it. It's basically the Wolf river dammed up to make a lake and there is a big deep pool below the dam where the Walleyes and numerous other fish hang out. Gatta get back to work - break time is over. Thanks for posting the pics - looks like you have fun up here in Wisconsin. Catch ya later. CoinShooter-Craig

Thanks Craig.
My brother didn't catch much so he pulled that mounted Musky off the lodge wall and took a picture with it.
Thanks for the Walleye info.
