Great time and great pics. Calmer water you couldn't find. Glad you all had fun. Keep it going all summer.

Boat rage is not a good thing. The tool probably isn't even conscious of what he's doing. Difficult I know, but the wisest thing to do is to back off and let lady karma work her magic. After all, you probably don't want someone posting to a board referring to you as the scum who did donuts around him and dropped a bait right next to his boat....

Great crop of smallies there for sure. Water looks like it couldn't get much calmer except for some places near shore. Thanks for the pics.

A wonderful picture essay, Bernie. I wonder how many people will read this and envy you, your brothers and your dad, the gift you have of being able to spend a day all together in the same boat. Very nice, thanks for sharing your day, Bernie.

Also jail the jerk for criminal negligence endangering the lives of those kids..

And they won't make a big splash because most lure manufacturers now routinely coat their baits with UV paints.....Luhr Jensen, Storm, Blue Fox, you nam'em. And if that isn't enough, if your old baits don't have the UV paints, you can buy it in a can at most tackle shops to give your baits a shot. The premise is quite ridiculous really when you read about it and see the smoke and mirror job. But hey, the stuff can't be that bad...I hear that there are some champion tournament stars using the stuff.

It was on 2 weeks ago during the Lakair get together. I don't know how long it lasts.

Simon! Where do you get all the hands? Camera, rod, sunglasses, net...I'm surprised nothing went overboard. And you now own a net with character. Congrats on the great catch.

Really glad you all had a good time, Cliff. Let's have some pics!

Take a little time today to think of what we have as a nation. Look at world history and world news....yes, we are blessed indeed. I know I'm privileged. Have a happy and safe Canada Day everyone.

Good job, Scott. Looks good on ya!

A 24 girth on a 28 walleye? That's obscene! What's the forage in there Eddie, Twinkies and Big Macs?

There's a fair amount of info to be found online about Empire. Knock yourself out!

Congrats to you all! A beautiful child. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go practice saying "Miss Grandma Kelly". edit: And there's no sign so don't even think of entering her in the tourney.

Paul, where is the brand stamped? Is it on the foot of the reel or on the reel itself?

Gimme a break here guys! I was almost finished sorting my socks drawer. Dave, is that buttered popcorn?

Hell that's nuthin', mine can float in hundreds of feet of water!

That'll buff right out.

No they won't. It's an Evinrude.

Nope

I'd check further into the credentials of Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell. It seems that the only people quoting their findings happen to be selling a product. Companies such as Health-Science.

Yup, great bunch of fish there. I'd take a look at the expiration date on your man card though. Just sayin'.

The owner/manufacturer of Live Target is a member here and is online most mornings early. I'm curious to see if he will post to this thread. It'd be appreciated I'm sure.

You got that one right for sure, George. Fish seldom ever see the top of the bait.

You'll get'em next time Moe. Thanks for posting.
