And it was like Christmas in July . 2 months of dry land due to back and leg pain,I am ready to get back ater on the float boat. Bonus Christmas gift in July, a nice white fish. Dinner is going to be so good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The factory is closed now but the clean up continues from the contamination in the soil. Rain and storms have continued to escape the containment barriers and other methods in effect. The solution is dilution but this is a political minefield and both sides have dug in for the battle. With the differences of ground composition and water stratus what works up North does not work Down South. Art

The red tide is actually not something that is new. It is not weather related but rather from over abundance of nutrients. " 215 million gallons of nitrogen-rich wastewater made its way into the bay earlier this year from the site of an old fertilizer plant, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The algae feed on phosphorus and nitrogen." The Florida conservation core has been working with the holding lakes and trying not to draw them down unless they are full from to much rain. This water used to flow through the everglades and nature filtered it out before it bloomed. With Big Sugar using more of the land for Sugar Cane the filtering has become to low to cure the issue. They are trying to return more of the land back to being the filter but it will take time and effort to make the red and green algae blooms go away. Art

Nothing like smelling a photo. this is far too political of a subject matter to survive an actual full thread. let me just say, it’s fun to sit and say nothing is wrong, while the west faces historical heat waves, while the east gets 100 year floods every year, and hurricanes form in the spring

Nope you're right it doesn't. Just looking at it screams triploid to me. Similar to what the Konrad boys pull out of Diefenbaker.

Youse the bye that catches the fish...etc...etc.

Maybe it has a water sensor and needs that for it to work, no worky in thin air, lol.

My connections at the battery have a circuit breaker ya push in when tripped---part of the battery connection itself look for a button to push in maybe

Or put in a 30A when it needs a 50A

Apparently it's a big no no to charge the battery while still connected to the motor.

Is there a fuse somewhere that may have blown ?

this same factory is the one that destroyed lake okechobe a few years ago right? Politicians down there getting lobbied to allow this company to dump that fertilizer in the water ways...good stuff. lets just say im glad I live in Canada where we dont let corporations destroy our fresh water resources at a price. If you can believe it, they still "spray" weeds down there. We used to allow that kinda stuff up here too, im glad we dont anymore.

Nice. Gorgeous views. Enjoy your fish.

beauty! Happy to be back on the water I am sure!

Sweet Brian!

Great report. Nice to see you getting lots of fishing in. Good luck in the tournament.

Enjoyed that read today = thanks for sharing - great start to your year Andrew

That is deep. Beautiful morning out there. Congrats

Nice dude

Been fishing almost exclusively for musky this past week by myself and two evenings with a Father and son staying at Indian Point Camp where I guide from time to time. I’m relatively new to the musky game, and scoffed at people when they told me it’s addictive, I have to admit I have an addiction…. 😂. Been raising fish, follows, and heartbreaking losses before getting the net under them, too many to even put a number to, but did put some in the boat.

$6 a dozen...That's $0.50 each worm...Cripes ! eggs don't cost that much (yet)... When worms cost $3 I switched to tiny tubes for the kids...They were just as happy and not so many "ews and yucks" and tubes worked well for panfish and the odd bass... The young lady in the first pictures liked fishing so much she asked Santa for a rod and reel for Christmas !

Either way, whether this brown is triploid or not, I don't agree with Frankenfish being eligible for records.

I never got a tape on it, it was such a shambles netting and unhooking all by myself in almost complete darkness I thought it best to get it in the water again ASAP, it swam away happily. My initial thoughts were over 50”, and looking at the picture my guess is well over 50”. It’s head across the top from gill plate to gill plate must have been 9”, a really scary beast! I’m 6’2” and if I held it up it would come up to my chest at least, I think it was just under 60” but I guess I’ll never know or be able to prove it, but I’m counting myself in the over 50” no matter what anyone says.

Sure looks like a hatchery fish to me. Just one persons opinion however. Reminds me of the mutant rainbows I catch around Parry Sound.

Dirty triploid, lol.

The bait shop in Point Au Baril was $10.00/2 doz last week or $6.00 for 1
