So the last few months we've had quite a few complaints about the shenanigans that go on, generally in Non Fishing Posts, around here. Seems like some people just can't be reasonable and are offending quite a few folks sometimes very deliberately. We do our very best to try to keep this a moderated board, it's not facebook after all and we want everyone to feel comfortable here. I have never ever been a big fan of removing/banning people from the forum / board. I also have tried my best to keep most of the discussions in one place, (for 20 years now) but sadly I think we are done with that... so without any further ado, were announcing a couple changes for the better. 1st thing: all posts that are not Fishing or at least outdoors or outdoor equipment related should be posted in our new sub forum. (if they are not, they will be moved there) Non-Outdoors Open Discussion You'll notice we've moved some posts there already! We've had a lot of feedback from folks that really only want to see fishing or outdoor posts when they first get on there, but I've always said that as a COMMUNITY we should feel free to be able to ask for help and discuss subjects that are not outdoor related, so now there is a special spot for that! 2nd thing: We're going to start using some of our Moderation tools a bit more effectively. If a member can't be reasonable, they will be put on whats called ModQ, which means for a period of time all posts will have to be approved by a moderator when one happens log in. Honestly, if a user (ANY USERS - OLD OR NEW) can't be reasonable here and feels the need to troll there are plenty of other places to do it. We will be using this tool more and more in the coming months. If you can't say something nice or in the very least constructive, please don't say anything at all.. (Your Mom should have taught you this already) So that's about it. Have a great day everyone!! Be Safe Out There.

This is an insane deal for someone

Yeah... Aaron flew through with High Arctic Lodge. Lucky guy was staying with them for a week, and it's quite the outfit being that every day they fly to a char location to fish. Alex had missed his original flight out of the USA. By the time he arrived, 4 days of fishing had been lost to his week long trip. Yikes! Anyways, again I really enjoyed Aaron's company. Being that my 5 day trip had fallen on unlucky timing and I was out there alone sometimes dwelling on that difficult fishing, his day three appearance really lifted my spirits. Should be another solid episode tonight.

Thinking I may work on some hats and decals if anyones intertested..

Nice read. Every time I read you part about should I stay or should I go now brings up the song in my head from The Clash lol.

Try that with the new ones. Their CRAP. POS socks . They ruined a good thing. OP I have the session 5. Works great, but for the price of a 1.5" cube camera, it,s pricey. Crap, I forgot again today to buy a new SD card.

A tip I learned fishing in Florida years ago when using live shrimp Cliff. IN the head of the shrimp you will see a dark spot that is the brain. Pierce your baitholder hook in front or behind it. The shrimp will live for quite a long time. The best thing about using shrimp and Calamari as bait is if they don't catch fish you can eat the bait. I once asked Frank from "Fishin' Franks Live Bait and Tackle" in Charlotte Harbor FLA. What's the difference between these shrimp and the shrimp from the store and he said these shrimp are fresher. We buy shrimp rings for big Catfish on the Grand River down here. Often we have eaten more on the boat than we used for bait.

Some great pics there guys. I'm sure the Boss will be very pleased.

Gotta get back to work.. so I can get next week off for good behaviour. Will do some browsing tonight for more. All seasons???

That last pic sure looks familiar! LOL HH

I have watched that a couple of times over the last few years

Bring extra lures and especially fishing line and hooks, leave them for tips for the workers and youll get the best advice on where to go!.

Yeah Nick, they are FULLY scamming the OFC name!!

Times are a changing most likely a good thing

Nice hut!

Welcome aboard! I don't think your the first member from Bama.. Congrats on getting the cottage! That's such a great area! Do you plan on ice fishing in the area? Or maybe plan on renting your cottage out cheap to some fellow ice fisherman in the winter??

this thread is locked you all won't listen. 7 reports in 24 hours. Do not try to start a new one it will be deleted. Why you all can't be adults here is beyond me. Art

Gloves aren't mitts. Mitts is what you need and get em a bit larger to insert chemical hand warmers into. You know, those little packets you shake to activate. Some are duds though so before venturing forth ensure the things are working.
