Old Ironmaker

I can pay a kid to dig up my yard and if someone pays me a buck a worm I can buy another yard and a Bob Cat. My neighbour sells them for 2 bucks a bakers dozen, best price in town. He picks the golf course at night with his little head lamp on. I remember driving buy the golf course in the neighbourhood I grew up in and you would see a dozen lights going along the fairways side by each. They brought the ladies in by the van load.

I made da munetza wid da chamenta befo fratto mio. Can't talk about it until Statute of Limitations is finitto. Oooops. The chamenta dementia is kicking in, so is the Vino.

He and buddy swear it works, so does everyone else that caught fish when no one else was. He's off to BPS in the AM to buy some Worm Glow. I was wrong about the price, $13.00 not 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother just got back from a trip to a friends place just north and inland of Point Au Baril just off 69 across from the Rez. They caught the most fish ever last week since Rick bought the place around 5 years ago. A local steered them to a guy that sells "Green Worms" At 12 bucks a dozen!!! He said the Walleye and Smallies hit on every worm. 8 feet of water simply a hook, a worm then latter a piece of worm and a few split shot. They caught a fish on every single worm, or more when they cut them in 1/2. Even at a buck a worm they went back and bought more. The seller says he puts an enzyme in the worm bedding that turns the worms green. When they dumped the worm dirt in the lake the water turned green. He is thinking it might just be food colouring. He's doing some home science project. 12 bucks a dozen seems nuts, but I have more than a few pieces of hardware that costs more than that and stays in the back of the box or home because I haven't caught a single fish with them. Any one ever heard of these fish catchin' green worms? How do they make them green? Can't argue with success. Maybe a future in selling all colours of worms.

I bet I don't have a single Polish DNA cell in me and I love Perochki. The best fishing advice I have ever gotten when we planned meals based on our catches was to bring extra food.

Used BB guns and then advanced to 22's in the summers of the swingin' 60' at a buddies farm pond in western NY when I spent summers there. Shootin' fish in a barrel isn't as easy a it looks. Poor fish. I'd think that weapon wouldn't leave much fish left. Can you imagine what would happen today if someone saw a few kids riding their bikes down the road in town with 22's slung over their shoulders dressed in Korean War fatigues?

I don't have to walk sitting here. I'm a mess, plus got skunked Friday fishing. How does one throw a shoulder out fishing??

Best to hold a big Bass by the lower lip and under the belly with the other horizontally. You can hold a good size Smallie with one hand under the belly and it doesn't move a muscle.

Austin Connelly a Canadian and European Tour regular is 2 shots back of American Jordon Speith after first round play shooting a 3 under 67 at the Open Golf Championship at Royal Birkdale. Sort of. He was born, raised and lives in Irving Texas complete with his southern drawl. His father was born in T.O. and Austin has spent all of his summers with his Grand Parents outside of Halifax N.S since birth. He's as Canadian as I am American because my mother was born there. To read about Austin, who has been hitting balls since the age of 18 months the link is below. He has played as an American as well as Canadian. He's just a little guy that hits a straight ball. To say he's Canadian is a stretch I think. http://www.sportsnet.ca/golf/person-interest-canadian-austin-connelly-set-make-open-debut/

This is one of the strangest things I have come across in a long while, actually creepy as someone said. Where is OUR privacy today? I can understand some secrecy especially on small bodies of water. I remember watching an In-Fisherman episode where they proved 2 very good Bass guys could fish out a body of water in 2 days and not a pond. Tagged all the fish and caught only tagged fish day 3. But some go to ridiculous measures to keep there special spots secret. You can be 10 feet away and not catch a fish in the same boat that buddy is slamming them. Just like someone said above. There's more to it than knowing the body of water. I hope the creep goes to the lake and falls overboard, or better yet get SKUNKED. That would be justice for the goof.

This is going to get political real fast. I shall remain silent but want to comment. I am a good soldier and follow orders like a good Canuck.

Being legal and being a good steward of our resources are not one in the same. I do agree all ethnicities of our society that may be poaching. I just pointed out the majority seem to share the same cultures, that's just a fact. However he majority of those charged and convicted of hunting and fishing violations in eastern Ont. seem to be of French decent. But the majority of the population is of French decent. So it might be demographics and just that. Close to GTA one group, close to another area, another group. I'll admit when I am off base, never wrong though (tongue in cheek).

Regardless if the kid looks to be standing 3 feet behind the Bass, look at the relationship of his entire hand to the lower jaw, that's a big fish. No idea how much it weights.

We had a wiseguy at the plant that went around putting small gamefish caught in the Baywater strainers in the water coolers. Small Pike and Bass. I didn't realize there were even fish in the Hamilton Bay but there were many, even Salmon, mmmmm good.

Here I am worrying about the guy. Calls 3 or 4 times and doesn't leave a message. I told him I think he has ADD, not the attention deficit where one can't concentrate the kind where he needs attention. Here is a 4 page thread in the middle of fishing season and the word FISH hasn't been used not 1 time. I can understand why the diehards are dropping off the board like flies.

You are absolutely right. True story, the first time I went to Italy I went for a walk early one morning and asked my Uncle, "where are all the birds Zio?" he said " we ate them all during the war they aren't stupid enough to come here." We have no idea what it means to really starve here. If we are hungry we say we are starving. Couldn't be further from the truth.

20 of them? Then there was always the big pike that had 10 walleye fillets that he froze in them. All 6 of his pike. That would be 30 Piks from the 4 limit Bay of Quinte. So I was told by him at work.

What's with M2B2 posting he is heading to ER with severe burns around 9:30 last night then posts 2 minutes latter about something else. I hope it isn't one of the kids. If that kid didn't have bad luck he wouldn't have any luck.

I know I am going to catch Hell for saying this from some Libs. but it is right there in black and white. Those that are regularly charged for fishing offences are of the same cultures. And the second most individuals charged are from another culture. It is a cultural thing and that is difficult to change peoples mind sets. It is difficult to change cultural paradigms. Hopefully 1st or second generation Canadians with Canadian educations will not carry on these traditional mind sets and hopefully things will change in the near future. I think it will. I know this first hand. I fished years ago with a guy from the plant and he started putting 8" Bass in a bucket. I said what the F are you doing? No way no how you could educate him. Good guy but he went through the depression and WW2, no way no how he was going to change in this lifetime. His boat, his charges, he was never caught and he was a life long poacher, and he wasn't the only one I knew back then. I didn't fish with them again but continued to be their friend, these were really good guys except the fishing thing.

Bingo, we have a winner.

Tues Wed looks good, high winds again Thursday at noon. Got to check everyday before heading out. Bass are biting at Gull Rock. Tube jigs.

He was a Center. Is that a forward? I can't skate.

How did I miss that? I nearly peed myself. I won't let my wife be in the same room when he is on the phone with me.

No winners yet. Ken Dryden is not the artist. He is KD however. quote name="GBW" post="1009243" timestamp="1500313282"] the artist's initials are KD (no, not Kraft Dinner) "At The Crease" is the name of the painting. It is Tony Esposito. Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. He is wearing his Black Hawks uniform though. He was pulled for Dryden in game 7, the rest is history. AKA Shag, born in 73!!!! Young Pup eh? We had a Sr. Football practice after watching that game at a buddies parents apartment. We were so excited we threw Mrs. Sinker's sofa over the balcony 3 floors down. We were sober after 20 minutes of 4 quarter drills from the 20 yard line. Coach knew we would be pissed and had 2 garbage cans on the field ready for our Beer. The next day we had to pass the hat to buy her a new couch. She hoped there was a game 8, she wanted a new dining room set. How in heavens sake would I know who Tony Hawk is? 86' I was 32 and on my 4th home. A bit to busy to know anything about skate boarding. I have to give it to that kid, he turned a single VHS tape he sold from the trunk of his Dad's car into a multi million dollar empire.

I don't buy tall boys, by the time I finish one it's at room temp. Heck the same goes for a regular size brew.
