Stan, I'm not so sure that that many people want to admit to knowing anything at all about suckers. Good luck in your search.

Long time no hear, Connie. Hope all is good with you. As for the OFC contributors to Esox Angler, they're (all three) an excellent bunch and EA knows this. They are surely keeping the best for last, as it were. EA could also spread their wings and pick up a couple more....I'd bet on Raf and Perodimi. Dang! I forgot Guidofisherman...one of the best.

AWWWWWWWW Cliff, I've stayed at your place and you can hardly call that part of the house a basement. Heck, you can walk out to the great large yard and lakefront. Dang, If I lived close by, I'd sell to move into your place.

I used to be just like you guys 'till I caught mine messin' with my supper.

The best way to get a reply is to phone or post to Zack asking about ice conditions. Immediate response.

Art, if you're going to be posting pictures, would you be kind enough to obscure the backgrounds? There are a coupla long rodders sitting at their laptops at Pearson waiting for their flight to DC.

Sure...use the pull cord usually found under the cowl.

We have a few members from Virginia. If they see this I'm sure they'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to hearing of your adventures. We enjoy pictures y'know.....

I'm in the same boat, Geoff. Got my e-lic. last November, a 3 year sportsman's which is good till Dec 31st 2010. My card needed renewing at the same time. I got my card about 3 weeks later sans stickers. Now I have this very fragile paper to protect for 3 years in the rain?

Actually, he works 7 days a week and much more than 8 hours a day. The 2-3 times I was out on his boat last year we were out a full 12 hours each day and the motor ran all the time we were out there. But, I don't think he needs to justify that to anyone cause the man just doesn't lie.

It's the same thing every year, Tom and while it's no fun at all, it at least tells us that softwater season is just around the corner. We really try to smooth it over but it isn't always very easy.

I agree, not enough info in there to make any kind of a character evaluation. They wrote just enough to perhaps harm his business.

Will there be any Mercs there Jack?

Happy Birthday to ya.I didn't know if it was today, yesterday or tomorrow....I was pretty sure that it was in the first quarter of the year though. Hope you had/have/will have a great one.

Another float guy for my secret spot.

I have a secret spot just loaded with Float guys.

If you're using unwashed pantyhose, your bait won't need to be that stinky. If fact, you might need to freshen it up.

Give me an example please Gerritt.

For the time being, 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. Signatures must also conform to language and content guidelines." The height and width dimensions are not interchangable. It has nothing to do with file size. More to do with esthetics. Please try to conform to this simple rule. It's not a big deal but it would make it so much easier for everyone in the community. Thanks.

Great thread and an excellent idea, Raf. Those of you who are muskie newbies AND newbies to the board should note that Raf is one of those guys whose advice you can count on. Good stuff.

It'll be fine. Pics are nice, especially when you hold them up right for bounty fishing. You might even win $200. I think that these folks who catch fish in one Province and enter them in another are really honest people too. The list of names of 'save our muskies" folks who are members there is astounding....including some very good guides and some writers of "help our fishies" folks. Getting tired of the rhetoric.....blow it out your ear. I'm sure that the banner will disappear from our web community very soon.

Well, this thread is a lot of fun too! Some really good techie type info on motors. I've learned a lot from this. Evinrude Dude, you're not being very polite in our community. We're going to take down one of your member names. Should it be this one or the other? Let me know please. Someone mentioned that you had issues, I agree. I also think that Bombardier Recreational Products will be sending you an email. Be well....

Nah, she wouldn't do that, Art. Paul might though.

Well, this has all been wonderful. Sleep well every one. Fishon, you can sleep well too...your 4% vacation pay will be waiting for you at the door. Night everyone.
