Granddaughter's first boat ride and first fish and she did it all by herself ......

Unfortunately, I had my new Lithium FishHawk probe die recently so I contacted FishHawk on Tuesday Aug 26th. What happened next? 1) Fishhawk replied to my email requesting an online warranty information page be filled out. (Aug 26) 2) I replied the next day due to having to retrieve the serial number from the boat. (Aug 27) 3) Received email that the replacement probe and charger had been sent via FEDEX (Aug 28). A return shipping label would be included for the faulty part. 4) Received package plus the new probe holder for the charger today at noon (Aug 29) All I can say is "WOW". I'm getting older and grumpier and its pretty easy to complain about anything on the internet but I think we have an equal obligation to promote companies that go 100%. Yup, sucked the probe died but they took care of it Right Away!, not the usual 4-6 weeks...

The eggs will absorb scent . I liquefy a bunch of skein roe and will dip them in the container when drifting slower drifts . Faster waters,not required .

Related to my post earlier today in GD my Pup also had a great day out fishing.

I used to break roe eggs on my hardbaits. It does work a charm but the egg goo is so sticky it sets on the lures plastic or metal like glue. You need to scape it off at the end of the season. It does work well though

Nicely done ! One of the greatest pleasures in life is fishing with my grandkids. My grandson with a Smallie, that tested his tackle and his mettle, this past weekend. My pup (as usual) photo bombing the pic..

Nice. Spray them with gulp or squid oil and watch the fun begin

Thanks to all my friends here at the Ontario Fishing Community for your kind compliments of the pics. My enjoyment by doing this comes from seeing others enjoy them. Makes it all worth while. I got involved in photography in 1962 and still do as much of it as I am able. Some of you fellows that are getting a little long in the tooth such as I may remember Mom and sometimes Dad (most times Dad would stay home and drink beer especially on Sundays while the rest of us were at church LOL) going to town grocery shopping Saturday mornings. I couldn't wait till they got home to see what the prize was in the cereal boxes. Some cereal boxes, Post was one I believe if you were to send two box tops to them you could choose a much better prize. Well my Mom did exactly that and got me a B&W 110 film camera. That is one of the best things she could have done for me at the time otherwise I'm not sure I would have gotten into photography. It took crystal clear pictures every time even by todays standards with our digitals Years ago many of my photos were featured in several magazines, mostly Big Buck Magazine for Gary Donald the publisher and Canadian Geographic and on television. Never attempted National Geographic as I didn't have the money for $20:000 cameras an zoom lenses and to travel to exotic places. One of my friends brothers found sponsors to do exactly that and in 1987 one of his photos made front cover of National Geographic and they awarded him with a cheque for $10:000. I never made that kind of money but I was looked after very well by other publishers, I mean what can be better than getting paid for one of the things you enjoy most. Not to bore you much more but I seldom left the house without the camera my mom got me from the cereal. I eventually wore it out as it wouldn't wind the film anymore. I have a photo here from it which to me is priceless and there will be no duplicating it that I will try and take a picture of with my canon digital as clear as I can. (if I can find someone reputable to restore it that's what I'm going to do) I didn't know it at the time but I obviously hit the shutter button as I was leaving the house to take pictures, and it was pointing at the the old wood and coal stove. My first stop was below Oxenden Falls to begin my day of photography and snapped a picture of the falls. To make this short I filled the film and Mom took in to town to the drug store for developing. A week of anticipation and sleepless nights Mom finally picked up the pictures. We didn't have a telephone at that time in order to call and see if they were ready for pick up. When you look at it you will see the falls which appear to be coming down upon the old (Findlay I believe was the make) stove and then running off the edge. You can see the hay field and trees out the kitchen window facing Wiarton with my Moms cactus's on the window sills and her tea pot sitting on the warming side of the stove. There is no way in Hell I could have done this on purpose. When I first saw it I was pretty ticked off and almost threw it in the garbage until I looked at it closer and realized what it was. it's one of the few accidents I have experienced in life that I am proud of HAHAHA I threw in a couple Canon shots of a Swainson hawk and some geese preening themselves after they had their breakfast. I had to use a big zoom lens for the geese as they were about 250 yards away. They turned out pretty clear considering I wasn't using a tripod. Thanks for reading if you got this far. Edit - The original B&W photo is crystal clear, I'm disappointed I couldn't get it clearer and sharper to post it. There. is no comparison.
