" No you can not target out of season fish period. Unless your fishing Lake Erie during the closed Smallmouth bass season in the State of Ohio which makes no sense to me " Well said Phil! If you truly care about the sport and maintaining a first class fishery why would you want too? One of my major complaints about the pro bass tour, they seem to think fishing for bedding bass is a good plan. Nice to see big fish at a weigh in, but at the cost of those fish with a failed spawn?

I kept like a 20 inch L/M once and put it in my parents fish pond. Didn`t give it much thought at the time and should have known better. Pond was only like 4 feet deep, dang thing died over the winter. Still in good shape though so I got a mount of it. Might have been the last bass I kept. Just seemed like a waste. Just to me better a live release, I have put some in friends ponds that could handle them.

LOL but what about this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_imAA0rkxT0

Good Morning! Hope everyone has a great day! Me too, tax time!

Same here Wayne, I hope all goes well.

Oil went over 100 a barrel for the first time. I don`t know how much damage was done to the refinery, but a shortage of refining capacity also. Oil is not much use to the consumers until it is refined to gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil.

I have seen the wheelchair one before, disturbing, especially in my new found situation. I walk like a drunk, a police stop where I have to get out of the car is going to draw some looks from a cop. I can imagine the first thought is going to be I got me a drunk! To me the situation appeared to be common place there? No one seemed surprised by the deputy`s actions? No rush to help? Just me, but the taxpayers will be providing that guy with a green cushion? Cash!

If I had to walk around in a bumble bee outfit and drive a kidde car I might be a little bent too! Better threads and a decent ride might warrant a little more respect? Seriously? Had some brushes with the law as a kid-young adult, it is yes officer, not dude, a little respect in a situation can save you from getting your butt kicked. Had a cousin sucker punch a cop, then wonder why he met Mr. Billy-club. Dude was afraid to tell his dad about his new lumps, dad would have gave him more. Stupid can be fatal. Some parents don`t care, kids roam the streets and as long as they stay out of their hair it`s ok. When there is a problem? My baby wouldn`t do that! Police brutality! Cops cut me some slack a few times, enough for me to get my head on straight, and ya dad would have kicked my butt. Tough job, I would never want it. Especially with those wheels and that uniform!

Not a Muskoka chair, must be a Bama bench seat.

As long as I remember the prices in Ontario seemed high, even with the exchange rate. Other than transportation costs and import fees whatever they amounted to over the years I could never understand the reason. I can only recall buying a couple of fishing lures up there, Heddon Strawberry Vamps, wood ones, because we didn`t see them here and they caught some fish, but like the 1960`s? Bought some line up there too, emergency. Even cabin rental prices seemed to go up quickly, demand? an increasing population, an increasing cost for water front property? LOL back in the 60`s a cabin rental was like 60 to 90 dollars a week, like a third to half an average Americans weekly pay, so it didn`t hurt as much.

Too much tackle? Ya same here, had some obscure baits save the day at times though. I do like to be able to fish from top to bottom and with a variety of different looks. Favorite bait? the one that is catching the fish! Mostly a bass fisherman so some kind of jig setup was thrown the most. Jig and worm, jig and pig, tube.

They show a program on the History channel about logging, pretty incredible what some of those machines can do to a forest and even though we need wood probably not a good thing.

Great pictures and report Glen! Nice to see open water! Bass ID info http://myfwc.com/Fishing/Fishes/bass.html

That would be all the hint I needed to leave the area!

I was ready for April right after October, willing to trade Nov., Dec.,Jan., Feb., Mar., for an extra May, June, and September.

I believe it, when we were having electric supply installed for or above ground pool the first shot didn`t pass an inspection, accessory plug had to be like 10 feet from the pool. I asked the inspector why? because people plug in radios and such and put the on the pool edge, duh! bad plan! Back during the first fuel crisis here in the 70`s there was a story on the news about 2 guys getting seriously burnt trying to use a shop vac to suck gas out of their big boat at a marina for their cars.

LOL if I`m in the boat? Ugly has the edge!

Great news Jack! Don`t worry about the boobs, seems to me someone attends that has manziers?

No possible reason why I would want to!

Ryan, just passed it along as general info. I have seen guys go looking for lures with just a name, LOL myself included (Jumla comes to mind) and no clear idea what the bait actually looks like. Also seen incidents of disputes over a name of a brand or trade mark. Just something to be aware of I guess.

LOL Lew, ya like that would be frustrating?

No first hand experience with Vista BiteMe, and just barely able to figure out what I am doing on XP. A link with some issues discussed on another board I go to though. See Vista the nightmare. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum36.html

LOL don`t recognize that species in the first picture Lew, you should quit picking on them poor bass though! I think I saw a picture of you with a trace of a grin! Probably photoshopped?

Might be some name and product confusion here in the states http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpage-HHSSH.html http://www.hammerheadjigs.com/html/products.html

Great Phil scare the OFNer`s! any one want to rent me for Halloween? Don`t wear red while fishing! It`s a warning to the fish! Stop! don`t bite! except sheepheads! First and last time I wear that in a boat! LOL Jim, I am starting to understand what the dogs are telling me, worse I am talking back!
