Looking for Cottage Rental Ideas -- 2014

What's the craziest bait you've ever used to fish with?
OhioFisherman replied to Old Ironmaker's topic in General Discussion
As a kid fishing with my dad for perch? If we ran out of bait on the lake (erie) the eyes of perch or strips of their meat or a sheephead also worked, soft water. -
Funniest thing you've seen while fishing?
OhioFisherman replied to ccmtcanada's topic in General Discussion
It didn't seem funny at the time? But maybe the Muskie I lipped? A Muskie hitting the prop on my electric trolling motor after I had put reflective tape on it. Getting chased by a goose in the dark at a local pond, I wandered too close to her nest! One of my now ex wives using her navel as a fighting belt when she hooked a 20-25 pound catfish, I thought she would push the rod handle into her spine. One of my uncles, small pike on a stringer hanging over the side of the boat many years ago. Then he hooked a big pike and it broke the line on the stringer. He was going ballistic and we were laughing in another boat. The look on my buddy's face when the strange fish he was playing turned out to be a fat 3 foot water snake snagged in the side. A guy at a local pond showing me the rainbow trout he had caught, hmmm.... most of us call them sunfish. A groundhog playing squirrel, 8-10 feet up a tree. The plastic seat base on my bow seat breaking, just as I set the hook on a decent bass, over I went and the bass got off. But at least my head didn't dent the gunnel. A draw partner in a 2 day bass tournament complaining that he didn't get a hit in 2 days. I won the tournament and had offered him the same lures I was using. Nobody wants to hold the carp or the sheephead for a picture, even though the will never ever see a bass that big! -
Over a hundred? Ohio, PA, New York, Ontario, Va. Didn't think much of Chautauqua in New York the first couple of times there but they kept putting it on the tournament schedule and I learned. Still don't think much of Berlin Lake in Ohio, I could go to lake much closer and catch small bass all day. I don't recall ever seeing anyone weigh in a bass there over 3 1/2 pounds in any of the tournaments I was in, other lakes you could almost count on a bigger one than that.

I also get that call, they can't seem to understand that I don't have a computer, I am online thru telepathy.

I seem to recall the Georgian Bay having some rocks? Maybe now there will be enough water over them for safe travel?

Great Lakes Have Heaviest Ice Cover in 20 Years
OhioFisherman replied to craigdritchie's topic in General Discussion
The winter has been consistently colder than normal on this side of Lake Erie too. -
If I want to play with them I do it when they are in the livewell.

http://www.lurenet.com/brands/smithwick-lures/smithwick-devils-horse Similar lures have been around a long time, and cheaper too.
-
Most fish eat other fish, or what ever else is easily available. I cleaned a late fall Steelhead from Lake Erie one time and it had like 24 smaller fish in it's gut, emerald shiners, shad, perch, so I assume what ever was easily caught by it.
-
I think getting the lure in the fishes face might have a lot to do with it. My biggest walleye 28 inches came on a slow rolled spinner bait with Colorado blades, the very next cast got me a 14-15 inch Crappie. Stupid fish! It's a bass lure! LOL

Fort lauderdale everglade fishing.
OhioFisherman replied to mike hagan's topic in General Discussion
http://www.evergladesholidaypark.com/fishing.html With probably a limited amount of fishing time available? The wild shiners are probably your best bet for a big fish? Weeds, reeds, and lilies near deeper water? You can also try 8-10 inch plastics worms with probably a 5/0 worm hook. -
N/F Anyone familier with large diesel motor homes?
OhioFisherman replied to OhioFisherman's topic in General Discussion
No, not me Bill, I have about as much use for one now as I do for a boat. Just trying to help her figure out options for unloading it. -
N/F Anyone familier with large diesel motor homes?
OhioFisherman replied to OhioFisherman's topic in General Discussion
Thanks guys, it is not mine and is not in my area. A friend outside my area bought it new in 2006, can't drive it, and is thinking about unloading it. My experience has been with heavy trucks in my area, most had block heaters or perhaps oil heaters. Just from looking at the specs for 2006 models like it I don't see any mention of block or oil heaters standard. It was purchased in South Carolina, so I am guessing there isn't a big demand for them there? Engine? again from the specs, a 350 HP cat diesel, I have no idea if other engines were optional. LOL, women should stick to buying shoes and purses, or other less expensive things they don't use? I am not much help to her with this and the concept is a bit beyond me. You spent 180k for something you can't drive and don't use? -
With MS I am waiting for the Velcro line to come out! LOL

I was in the Tampa Florida area for about 5 weeks in 2009, the news there had a couple of reports of horses being slaughtered in the fields for their meat. The news claimed it could be sold for 40 bucks a pound, dudes really must not like beef?

Now is not the time to be investing in ocean front property? -
What Dave said, there are a few of the Roddy spinning reels on ebay, I didn't see that particular model, but like 5 to 30 bucks or so.

In bad weather, 3 - 4 days of snow, rain, overcast skies? Would solar panels actually be able to power much of anything in an emergency? Depending on your home getting on the roof to clean snow off of solar panels? Could get interesting?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario_Highway_7A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:7A_-_Floating_Bridge.jpg LOL nice bridge back in the day? Sandusky Bay here off of Lake Erie had a lot of old school wooden boat houses, most had trouble fitting anything over a 16 foot boat, big in the day? A bamboo pole made it really easily to drop your bait in just the right spot, and since Crappie were the usual target? a bamboo pole was all you needed. Some of those boat houses are still around, they were old when I was a kid.
