Have a great time Cliff! Ummmm did you fill the beer fridge before leaving?

Good luck to you both. In the many years I've been here, this is the very first time I've seen a first time poster answering another first time poster! Welcome aboard!

HAHAHAHAHAHA I don thin so, Lucy! Congrats on the finding that one pearl in your life BUT, you may have to plan wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy far ahead for exactly when you want to fish. It just might involve a little compromise.

Yes Jim, all of the Kawarthas are on there.

HAHAHAHAHA

Let's not go there. I believe that the thread was started to honour the folks who lost their lives or were maimed that awful day. Start another thread or go to another site for this kind of stuff. It will never matter where the hit came from. All that will matter and does matter is that a whole lot of innocent folks died.

Damn Darren...I wanted to keep it a secret! Jamie will do well. Thanks for posting.

I will also accept pay, PAL!

Hot Maps only has Pigeon of those three lakes.

Yeah well he certainly deserves it! Congrats to you "J". Looking forward to that one for sure!

Geeeezzz, looks like I'd better trailer in a cord of wood and a few more cases of wobbly. Paul can whittle a bunch of willow switches...I have the spices, we can have pickerel on a stick!

Ziki, I agree and I apologise. It was a very poor choice of words. I work with some kids who have serious psychological problems and the last thing I'd want to do is hurt them in any way. So, thanks for bringing it up as it gives me a chance to at least try to redeem myself. Be well.

Looks very interesting. I've never tried them but I'll find some. A very unfortunate choice of names though.

Sure Joe, rub it in.

I understand, Charles. Your's is a different kettle of fish... as it were.

Too impressive, Bud! I'll wait till tonight to read this when I have the time to enjoy it. Congrats on the stellar lineup.

Dang, I guess the invite got lost in the mail Bernie! Have a super time!

Well said, Bill.

I'm sorry but unless you're buying your fish by the pound, I see no use in weighing a fish. You caught a nice fish, you had a wonderful outing.....what else is there? Most are hellbent on CPR, Catch, photo and release. So now it should be catch, measure length, girth, weigh, photograph then release? Folks show pics of fish with the bait still in their mouth (usually for the sponsor's benefit). Due diligence to me would be to get that bait out of there first, then if the fish is still strong....take a pic. Maybe I'm just getting old eh?

Good stuff, Steve. It certainly made for a nice evening for you. Thanks for sharing.

Well, well, well. I was sure that we were doing the best we could but obviously, it wasn't enough. The group of us have been working at this for years. We know how it works. There are about 5,000 members here and a lot of them are close friends. What bothers me about all of this is that a few mentally challenged folks are able to pit friends against each other. The mentally challenged that I refer to are online as we speak and are revelling in their success. That REALLY bothers me. This is the most active fishing site in North America so you just HAVE to understand that the dinks who want recognition will hit this one first. I'm quite sick of all of this and will deal with it severely as it happens now. I hope that the 'dudes' who want to leave just leave. We really don't have time for this crap. I won't lock this right now.....let's see what happens.

Yeah, I'm with you, let the Gatorade flow! That was a pretty negative way to start a thread but thanks for the great pics. You did really well.

I attach my mainline to the "curled eye". Then to the snapswivel attach a length of mono/fluoro of weaker test than the mainline...usually 24" to 48", then to that attach my bait/lure/offering. Usually, the length of the leader depends on how far above the bottom you want your bait.

It has been addressed.

Nice to hear. I guess old Omer has learned all about paying it forward. Edit: HA! I hadn't seen your post, Rick.
