Solopaddler is one of the most knowledgable and well travelled anglers on our board. He was certainly not steering you wrong. Two-three hours in any direction from 1000 Islands except West will get you out of Ontario. Mike the Pike lives 3.5 hours from 1000 Islands. Welcome aboard BP Swing.

Commercially bought filets are scaled.

Geez, that's a tough call. Maybe they use the scaler to take sequins off wedding dresses.

This is posted every year at least once and it has never done anything positive for our community. It generates bad feelings. What is offensive to some people is a living to others.

Great looking fish, Spoonman. Thanks for the report.

Happy for you, Lew. Joey and I were just discussing that very thing about 2 weeks ago. I missed though cause I was sure you'd get the house

Just excellent, Andrew. You know, everytime I read of your adventures, I don't know why but I get a feeling that there's a Mark Twain tinge to them. Very nice and thank you for taking the time.

I have always had a dedicated group 31 deep cycle for the trolling motor but I recently bought a 24v Minn-Kota so I have to drop to group 27's because 2 group 31's won't fit in the battery compartment. I should be ok with that. Everything else is powered by the starting battery. You have to be careful though. I have two sonar/GPS units on there and both together are 12,000 watts. Ok, the units will shut down if they sense that the battery is too spent to start of the motor but still.

Glad I could help you out with that, Bud. Sometimes it doesn't take much to please people. Have a super day. I'm having a really good day here.

And Pickerel Paul, stifle yourself will ya?

Thank you. You did good.

That's just heartwarming, Cliff. Yes, nice folks over for supper is just a lot of fun. I've never met Miss Sydney but from the sounds of things and based on what the parents are like, she must be a little sweetie. You and Sue will only get good from what you sow. Good on ya Buds.

WTG Bud! Glad you and your sweetie had a good time. Thank you for sharing....good stuff.

and jinx on ya Cliffie!

When we read of these stories we always tend to side with the writer. BUT, Nowhere does it say about the fact that these two dudes had been messing with Frankie's wife for the past two years nor was there a mention of the 3 empty gallons of methanol found in close proximity of Frankie's prize bass pond. Frankie made the mistake of using a controlled weapon. ie. You can never be charged with pointing a Louisville slugger. I also would have defended my family and property.

Ron, have you been talking to my doctor? Nice to hear from you, Bud.

Thanks guys. I'll pick up a spool or two to try.

Thanks Rich, I'll check it out.

I use Fireline on some reels but never tried the Crystal. Is it any good?

Signatures must not be larger than 75 pixels high AND 500 pixels wide. Please, the rules are: "One image in a signature is allowed. Images in signatures must not be greater than 500 pixels wide and 75 pixels in height. Signature images must not be more than 100K in file size." This number was not just pulled out of a hat. There's a reason for it. It's getting out of hand now. Please check the size of your sigatures and adjust them to comply with this simple rule. Thanks folks.

I understand now why things need to be super simple in fishing regulations.

Have you pressed the "X" in the top right corner of the display when this happens?

We won't solve this here. Happy fishing everyone.

If you meet the buyer in person, I can assure you he won't mess with you Bubba.

Sure Don. HERE! you go. Knock yourself out.
