Sorry you're having problems. Your best bet might be to PM Bernie. Perhaps he can point you in the right direction.

I was pretty sure that someone would PM you on that bomb.

Welcome back to the interwebs, Cliff.

Open advice from me would be to PM MikeP and Outlaw....bring a few Woodies and some Handlebarz and with their advice you should do well. I'd also be game to rig a Stalker or Chubbie in perch pattern on a downrod. Good luck to you.

No leaders for bass. 130lb for Muskie and Fidel (Highdrifter) makes the best for pike. Really the best I've seen.

Good for you...some nice fish there.

Sorry to hear that, Mike. But really, these things always happen for a reason. Chris has a well thought out path for you in the above post. I'm convinced you'll be better off at the next job. It's always a catastrophe when these things happen but they almost always work out for the better. Just stay cool and work at getting back in there.

Good outing for you and bro, Paul. Congrats!

Great report Rich and Patsy! So glad you had a good time. I think you must have broken the secret code to get into those muskies. You worked hard enough at it, you deserve every fish you get. About the bird taking flight on the side of the road to hit your vehicle...did you stop and take a look at the side of the road? He might have left a note. Thanks for the report, Rich. A really nice Show and tell indeed.

Congrats on a very nice fish. That was a good evening of fishing for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Super report, Joey. Glad to see everyone had a good time. Fantastic pics in there too! With a little luck I'll be able to make it up around August sometime.

It's probably something simple, Bill. I started using baitcaster 60 some years ago when those reels were little more than line storage spools. Today I'm happy to report than my right thumb has a PHD in spool control. Never have the brakes on now.

Nice shirt, Terry.

I'll be out in the morning for a father and son fish. That's always a good time...just doesn't happen often enough. I got my sign. Here's your sign.

And that would be the merchants on the Trent-Severn system?

So does Bronte.

Thanks Grimsbylander. That about wraps it up.

And you did well. Thanks Dave.

Well I for one am glad that they're "actioning" on it. edited to add: Maybe the wrong icon used there. You just so seldom see the present participle of some words.

Thank you. A really great initiative, Mike. Glad it's a draw because picking a winner would be very difficult. They're all great! Looking forward to 8PM.

A lot of soft baits are made with banana oil. I think it's a conspiracy.

Mike, I thought you had the hydrofoil thing.

Shiny side out Bill. Don't forget.

Everybody in India has your home phone number and your bill payment history. Even Rachid called me yesterday to warn me that the freezer I bought at Sears is about to run out of waranty. His cousin Dipti asked him to remind me that I should also be looking to upgrade my life insurance.

We've discussed this before and I don't see what difference it makes.
