I believe here it maybe, on government property, on your own? You have certain first amendment rights, freedom of speech. It maybe a bit disrespectful? Aren't there more important issues in both of our countries to take issue with?

The hook point rides up, no rotation, a keel shaped head also prevents it.

I think some people believe that just because their reel is old it is worth a fortune? Some of those old reels were produced in massive quantities, those are not usually the ones that carry the premium price. Collectors, look for condition and rarity usually unless they are limited to certain reels, some are difficult to find in any condition, but who wants to spend a fortune for a piece of junk?

The oil companies seem to own our governments?

Christopher, that was just some info off of wikipedia, I never went to Ontario before the opening day of bass season myself, and it's been a lot of years. It seem to me that our trip that was shortly after bass season opened, back in the 1970's so the memory and trips run together.

" For example, the emergence of one species of Hexagenia was recorded on Doppler weather radar along the shores of Lake Erie.[3] " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayfly Years ago on a trip to Pointe au Baril there was a mayfly hatch going on, they were everywhere and rafts of them floating on the surface of the water with fish rolling on them constantly. It was our worst trip ever, the fish seemed to be gorging o them to the exclusion of everything else. Maybe a fly rod and wet flies? Match the hatch?

Lifestyles of the rich and famous? Too bad fishing had to come to this?

Dad was 101st airborne, if you think parachuting is fun? Try it with people shooting at you! The 6th of June, a day to remember.

LOL, it would have been nice to see a cost per mile comparison between those and concrete or asphalt? All those electronics out in the snow and rain? I am sure there wouldn't be issues? Can the system be hacked? Turn now? A cool idea! I am working on a plan for a stairway to heaven and also need funding!

Saw the hammock thing this morning too, great! Them bears know how to chill! LOL

Watch the threads, an electrical box screw may not be metric, an Abu screw probably is.

Deer weren't too far from the endangered species list her in Ohio back in the 50's and 60's, the burbs and expansion of no hunting zones probably did more to save them than anything else, now in some areas they are a problem. Bears are becoming more and more frequent to eastern Ohio also, again with no hunting zones because of population they expand their range.

I had a 1987 smokercraft pro angler, it came with a minn kota 36 pound thrust bow mount with a 48 inch shaft. I eventually replaced it with a motor guide 52- 55 pound thrust motor with a 50 inch shaft. Generally? if the water was too rough for the shaft length of the motor? I didn't need to be out there anyway.

My dad had a 16 foot Sylvan with a 25hp Johnson on it, the worst boat ever for one guy to try and fish out of. No amount of adjustment to the motor helped, anything much faster than a troll would send the bow skyward and block your vision. A piece of carpet in the bow and a couple of hundred pounds of rocks helped, he even tried a whale tail on the motor without much success. It was a good boat though for inland electric motor only lakes.

And to our friends up north.

LOL, yep that works for muskies too!

I would have been safe! Drop my drawers and make my own mountain! LOL I got charged by one of my neighbor's horses that got loose once, defending my territory with a gun seems like a safer plan. Those hooves look awful big close up. I was with one of my uncles one time at Pointe au Baril and he wanted to get a closer look at a bear cub swimming in a shallow pass between two islands, no way, we are close enough and momma has to be nearby! Don't fool with mother nature?

" Bears can run up to 35 miles per hour and climb 100 feet up a tree in 30 seconds! Do NOT run or climb a tree when you encounter a bear. Don't run. Black Bear FAQs - Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation " I might manage either in a year? Then again, probably not! LOL Yes it would seem a shame to kill it, but better that then someone getting hurt by it? Luckily the ones I have seen were from a distance, and I was usually on the water.

LOL, a good friend keeps the sheep head out of the way so you can concentrate on the game fish? Nice job!

I am glad I have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than seeing a bear in my yard! That rascal looks pretty big.

LOL Crappie, she seemed happy enough making it? and it's even cheaper than Ripple?

A boat is a platform you can move around the water, that wouldn't be my first choice for a fishing boat but it may keep the family happy. What Lew said also, we went on Lake Erie all the time in small boats, but were always aware of weather conditions.

They are not weeds! They are wildflowers!

Cool, It's been a lot of years since I saw the falls.
