Fish: Re: [briansfreshwaterfishing] Hello Helmar & all...

Hello all,

Season opened officially for me today...first launch, on North Reservoir, ...first bass, a nice 14 1/2" fish just under two pounds, ...on a new outfit...St.Croix Mojo/Daiwa HSTA Advantage Combo. Landed this one on a silcer #8 original shad rap. Not bad for a two hour shakedown cruise. I'm a happy guy. This lake was iced over a week ago. As an added bonus, I figured out how to download pictures from my new cell phone (always interesting huh?) They were apparently too big to attach from my document file so here they are resized to html through my photobucket account.

Good Fishing,

Hi Gene and all...

Good to hear from you too....

We´ve had a very rainy summer down here.... besides, due to my job I couldn´t go out and fish as much as I´d like...

When we arrive to Tocantins state we will be almost in the beginning of the winter (June, 2nd) but this wont be a problem since there´s no cold season up there due to the proximity to equator line...

I hope your knee is fine and ready to take you into a boat again...

In 2009 my biggest Pirarara was a 100 pounder (aprox)... let´s hope we can find the big guys again... if not, I will be happy to get into those unexplored rivers to fish for Peacock Bass, Araunãs, Cachorras, Apapás and other species....

Good to hear from you ....

Helmar good to hear from you again...I know you are ready for your fishing trips to start....We had a relative light winter in our part of the USA, (Texas) the coldest we got down to was .7 degrees F. Very little snow this year which means we are starting our summer with very dry conditions....Helmar I sure hope you have a great season this year with your fishing and catch the "Big One"...We did not make our trip to Brazil this spring...I had to have a total knee replacement in January so that has really slowed me down this year...Maybe by next year I will be back in shape to head down your way....You mentioned your English, your English is much better than my Portuguese by far....Good to hear from you my friend........Gene
