Building and parking was full where I voted. From the time I parked till I was back in the car, not 10 minutes had passed. There was no one at my polling booth. PERFECT!

Great clip, Ryan. Imagine if that frog would have turned into a prince though. Then Ol' Dave really would have had some splainin' to do not to mention the quart of Janitor in a Drum to wash his mouth.

Just buy a cutting board (like we use in the kitchen) and cut it the size and shape you want it to be, Paul. It's the same stuff. Just ensure that it's thicker than the length of the ducer screws. Also, keep the tranducer 18" away or more than the center line of the main motor and away from any chines. Transducer must be paralel to the water and not to the hull. I don't remember if that boat has a V transom.

We have a recipe section. http://www.ontariofishing.net/fish-recipes/ Every so often people want a recipe section but the contributing doesn't last all that long.

Or he can follow me around and keep his boat clean.

So where's the new boat! I already saw you with that one....I thought you'd bought another one???

I'd make it even simpler than that. The first post you say that this is to be used for bass and pike. Neither of these fish are line shy. No stealth required. However, if it's break-offs you're worried about in the case of pike (teeth), use a ready made fluorocarbon or wire leader. For pike I use 50lb+ fluorocarbon leaders, short ones for casting and long for trolling. If you're dead set on making your life miserable making knots in the cold, rain, wind and dark which you yourself say you're not very good at, then most of the above posted answers are good. Good luck.

I've stayed out of this thread purposely to just try to get an objective feel for it. This is a very important thread to me and it appears to have been important enough to others for there to have this many responses and views in such a short period on time. From what I've been able to gather so far is that for some members, there's a huge mistrust towards mods and administration of the community in general. We're all human beings here, we all make mistakes. Some days we're heroes (usually when we've done nothing) and other days we're zeroes. Those are the days when we will have made a decision. In a relatively large community such as ours, you'll never have unanimity...everyone knows that but we'll still try to do the best we can. The distrust that I mentioned before shows up in statements such as "they won't delete our accounts because it's a numbers game, the more members there are, the more money they make". I'm not mandated to tell anyone any of this but I will tell you. Not only do we not make money on this community/board, mods must pay to keep up with ever growing operation fees. So you can understand how a moderator after having a bad day then getting raked over the coals by anyone here and having to pay for the privilege is probably not going to be in a good mood. I happen to know that every administrator including myself is happy to be here. Another question is can we see things such as a PM or email message sent to someone else. Unless we sent the PM or email, there's no way that anyone here can see someone elses' PM or email. That's a fact. It'll remain that way for as long as I'm here and long after I'm gone because everyone feels very strongly about these things. The positive side to this thread is that it seems to have gotten everyone talking about real or perceived worries that they have concerning the community. It's strange though that folks can talk for a year or ten and even go fishing with someone else in here then all of a sudden develop a mistrust. Some, very few but some are quite adept at getting people fired up about nonsense. Let's at least try to keep this as a kind of a happy place. A place to talk, share stories, help others where we can and just keep what we've got here together and peaceful. Have a good evening what's left of it and if anyone is fortunate enough to be fishing this weekend, GOOD LUCK and take lots of pictures.

There it is back up for you Ron. He's tired and had a long day.

AWWWWWWWW shucks, Roger...I'm verklempt. Glad you got it sorted out.

That "83" you're looking at is probably "B3" . That would make it an '89.

I don't usually post to these threads but the Habs did well.

Merc made a 15 in 1960...here's your key. http://www.marineengine.com/mfr/mercury_models.html

Wasn't that Mork's ride to earth?

Nice read, Rob. Did you ever get to visit the rearing pond that Kevin and his gang have up near Lakair? Quite the outfit. Thanks for the link.

OH Snady!!! I missed you in October as well. It was nice to see Adam again. Hope you guys have a super season, hopefully I'll see you this go around.

They get stuff done real quick with me. I mean, it's not like they're dealing with a young man.

You've been watching too much Russell Peters.

Good stuff Larry. Congrats!

A very good report, thank you. Sounds like you had a blast.

Speck....fresh out of Huron.

Nice Liberty, Terry. A 60 footer eh?

Good work, Jer. Beautiful colours on those fish too!
