  2. I have probably eaten them too Doug, my grand parents lived above us in the city and they could cook anything. Not sure how much work was involved with the pigeons, they seemed like free range birds, just provide them with a safe place to sleep and breed? Downtown Cleveland seemed to have millions of them hanging around, even on public square with all the traffic and people, now they have some nests for falcons to help thin the flock? Can't picture them tasting much different than a cornish hen? chicken?
  3. 100 in the boat? My hero!
  4. When we were kids my dad took us fishing for the spring sucker runs, people used to eat them too. A different era? I always wondered about the number of people on my street growing up with pigeon coops, until my dad told me they were food not pets!
  5. I had a 20 inch largemouth, a 20 inch smallmouth, a 28 walleye, and a 41 inch pike mounted, the cost for any of them would have paid for another week of cabin rental at Pointe Au Baril in those days and some cash left over. The pike wouldn't have swam away, kept it in the livewell which was too small for it so I could get back to camp to get a picture, all the others could have been released. Stopped keeping fish after that unless they were for a meal or weigh in, didn't even like to handle them too much.
  6. I'm a geezer, I haven't had a fish mounted in 40 years, although I support the idea of replica mounts those are still pricey. You could probably get a picture blown up and put in a frame and take your son out and get him his own good quality rod and reel for the same price.
  7. Them guys fishing the flw on erie could have used some of those fish!
  8. That mushroom style of jighead has been around for quite awhile, Gopher Tackle had a trademark? on the name mushroom head and were pretty aggressive about preventing others from using it as a description from what I have heard. So what's new? basically the elastec plastic, and it's another go around for them too. They were hawking them back in the 1990's because they floated and were tougher than regular soft plastics, but weren't around long because they melted other soft plastics and boxes, and I never heard anyone lamenting their passing. Always liked the Gopher Tackle jigs, they gave you a few hook options, even long shanked ones for use in bigger (longer) worms. My understanding is they are gone now, even their web domin name is for sale. https://www.lurepartsonline.com/Inhaler-Jigs https://www.lurepartsonline.com/Barbarian-Bullet-Nose-Jigs?quantity=1&custcol16=106&custcol_lead_color=101 https://www.in-fisherman.com/editorial/history-and-tour-of-gopher-tackle/153633
  9. Just the thought of having to spend thousands to fix a brake problem seems excessive to me?
  10. Shows some fix for brake sensors?
  11. Very nice! I have MS, if I had thought that I would have gotten something like it I certainly would have opted to a ranch style home ( all one level ) than a 4 level split. Just something to consider? With a degenerative back condition your wife may face more problems with things like stairs? They don't get any easier with age or medical issues.
  12. I am in Ohio, usually the only way you can get to fish a golf course pond here is to know someone very well that runs the place.
  13. I used to fish a lot of farm ponds on shore, I had a trash bag in my back pack as standard equipment. A deposit on cans and plastic bottles I would certainly support here.
  14. Take a look at their mouths, not carp. http://www.invadingspecies.com/rudd/ ?
  15. The price seems too good to be true?
  16. A liitle bondo will fix it?
  17. I don't know how your system works up there Cisco, but I am guessing ours is somewhat similar? After my stint in the nursing home last summer things got a new clarity? Here when you hit the button for a nurse you generally get a STNA ( state tested nursing assistant ), there are definite limits on what they are allowed to do, window dressing to make people think the facility is properly staffed? LOL they had a help wanted sign out the whole time I was in looking for them, like 11.50 an hour?
  18. We used to catch them once in awhile were Akri is located, they seemed to average around 4=6 pounds, they get much bigger though, one of my friends got one pushing 20 pounds there.
  19. Kick, I have heard of those, but from the pics I saw when I looked them up? no, just Mayflies. Dave, Port Clinton by the Erie Islands on this side of the lake has to do things like that. Scott, one year we went to PAB and they were all over, rafts of them floating on the water and fish rolling on them all over. It might have been real close to the bass opener or 4th of July, usually went up mid July to early August and then again in September for a guy trip. That year the fishing was tough, what ever was eating Mayflies seemed to be getting eaten by bigger fish.
  20. I remember living in Avon Lake about 1/2 mile from Lake Erie and trying to get into my condo without letting 100's of them or midges in at the same time.
  21. Loss of power near nuclear reactor along Lake Erie caused by ‘mayfly accumulation’ How many did that take?
  22. Disabled now for about 17 years, I have to listen to other peoples fish stories instead of generating my own. In the past Ohio, PA, NY, and Ontario, I guess bass were always the focus, if not a darn good back up plan!
