I'm not so sure, Joe. Every report I've ever seen from Cliff has always had fish in them. This one doesn't have a single fish....

I haven't checked because I'm not in the market for one but Walmart might have them at a fair price.

No new developments on this?

Heck Simon, you have muskie there....back off on the powerbait and go to reasonable sizes!

It's called dedication. That's a fine video and great pics for sure, Doc. WTG!

Let's just chalk this one up to inexperience on the OP's part.

Was wondering where you were, Steve. Put a meter on the battery, Steve. It'll tell you what state the battery is in.

John Alden Knight is the father of solunar theory as it pertains to fish and wildlife. If you want the definitive answer on how it all works, the man has researched and written volumes on the subject. Get yourself two books. One is called "Moon up Moon down" and the other is simply called "Original Solunar Tables" ... both by John Alden Knight. Read both and then try to dispute it after having fished using his theory. But yes, and he also says it.....solunar tables are but one way to fishing success....a few other things have to coincide...you'll see it when it happens.

hmmmm That might have been the McDonalds debacle, Craig.

I guess we should do that with all species of fish, eh?

Well then maybe we should give them time to take their offspring to swimming classes and not fish for them at all. There's a middle road to all of this though.

Hey Mike, can you imagine how you'd look on the old Bombardier with your big bird suit???

Wow! What a great showing. Some great pieces there for sure. It must be especially nice that it was held on your property! WTG, congrats to you and all those folks who put so many hours into their passion. And yes, that Evinrude is special but I'm kinda partial to the red Moto-Ski.

Well, in case anyone cares, I was cheering for Walmart in that particular incident.

It's all becoming clear here. I have an 8,000 watt unit which explains why I often have military aircraft above me when I'm fishing.

Sure, here's the link, Bud. http://www.mrn.gouv.qc.ca/presse/communiqu...ail.jsp?id=7966 edit: At the bottom of that page there is a link showing a few photos.

Wednesday morning, the 25th, 155 COs gathered in a hotel on the Gaspe peninsula. It had taken them 2 years to build a case against a poaching ring. They had arrest warrants for 60 scumbags and at 6:30 am they did the knock knock thing simultaneously on residences and businesses. They were able to nab about 30 of them on that initial raid. The 400 charges they had against them totalled $625,000. in possible fines if they were all found guilty and maximum penalties (doubtful) were levied. They seized tons of moose, caribou, deer, fish etc. Now this all sounds ok so far and it was as far as their work goes...they were out there and did their jobs. The thing that sticks in my craw is that they mobilized a lot of people for two years including legal work and hours and hours of legwork and the QMNR's resources to get a total of $625,000. that's IF they are all found guilty of all charges and charged the maximum fines. It just doesn't sound like enough. I know folks who earn that much sitting at home for 2 years. Not trying to ambush the thread here.....just wondering if we're going in the right direction as efficiently as we can. I have the press release but it's in French. I'll post it if I come across it in English.

Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.....

Good stuff, Dude. Thanks for sharing it with us. You've had a good season.

And remember that it's illegal to have more than one license.

Bear Trail Lodge maybe? Andy Myers? Glad no one was hurt.

Very, very impressive Kevin. WTG!

Sounds like a real crowd pleaser, Dave. ummmm "we will have a box of fishing prizes" How big is the box Dave? I'm thinking VMAX SHO Yammy. Have a good time with this....it sounds as though everyone else will.

If it's really topographic you want, you can get them here. http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/index.html If you're looking for hydrographic....that's a whole nudder ting.

Hope you all have a great day. Eat well and relax with family and friends.
