LOL, go ahead and confuse me! you water was warmer than the air? We had some late September weather a week or two ago, back to summer here again too! I could use a Canadian cold front!

https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/CAXX0025:1:CA Get out and fish before the next cold front! Doesn't look like Barrie's forecast is much different than ours here in north eastern Ohio.

Nice job on the video for a first time, thanks Art for the explanation, wondered why that moved.

It seems fair to me, an education can be expensive!

" Its an old Savage .410, has no clip and they are hard to find, so its a one shot deal....lol....does the trick and got it for $0, can't argue with that. " Free is good! Just wondering, it seemed pretty quiet.

Nice fish, what kind of gun is that?

Nice catch, gotta like lake erie when it's not beating you up!

Looked at our weather forecast this morning 80 to 84 the next 7 days, after the extended cool spell we had the fall feed should be on? Find the baitfish and find the fish? the cool spell may have triggered the need to feed for winter?

Just wondering, our lakes here are just different from most of yours, more mud and a lot less rock and sand.

Nice fish! As I recall Great Slave and Great Bear lakes are both larger than Lake Erie, given their location and lack of population in the area they still should have some big fish.

Nice fish! LOL @ weeds, I could almost bet that any bass I caught with that many weeds in the picture here in Ohio would not be a smallie.

Welcome back!

LOL!

The Cleveland Air Show was last weekend, I am close enough so some fly over at times.

Not sure, but there used to be a bit of wiggle room on tire size and rims.

" I hope they stay safe my Buckeye friend. I had a place in Charlotte Harbor where I was going to retire to for the winters. Life changes plans change. We insist in putting ourselves in harms way for the sake of lifestyle. Man will never learn. " My daughter and grandkids were just here over the Labor Day long weekend for one of my cousin's daughter's wedding, I told them to stay up north here, it's not like she didn't know this was coming? Did she really think school was going to be open for the grandkids? Now my just married cousin's daughter was to leave Thursday to start their honeymoon in Savannah Ga, they changed their plans last Sunday and decided San Diego Ca made more sense! If you like beaches? Don't beach when the ocean covers them?

My second oldest daughter and my 2 youngest grandkids live on the east coast of Florida, my first ex wife lives on the west coast, one of my aunts and uncle and the majority of their family live by Savannah Georgia. Great places to live? If you survive the storms? Evacuate? ya, constipation sucks! LOL

You have to consider some of the challenges brick and mortar stores face? The bigger the box? Location, staffing? http://www.chroniclet.com/news/2015/08/14/Cabela-s-Avon-land-deal-exceeds-3M.html It cost the Cabela's store in our area 3 mill just for the land, prices have to go up for them to build and maintain a shoppers paradise? An ebay store may be the way to go? How much of that tackle sold in those big box stores is actually made in North America?

My son said gas went up 20 cents a gallon for Harvey and another 10 cents a gallon for Labor Day weekend, and now Irma is on the way!

No idea if people still use them, but I made my own pony head jigs and sassy shads worked well on them, for bass or crappie. Their hog frog made a good trailer on a spinner or buzz bait.

One of the Amish sawmills near me used wood that wasn't high quality to make wood pallets, another place near me ground up wood pallets to make mulch, they even dyed some of it. Some of those sawmills had mountains of sawdust, now it gets loaded into big dumpsters and is used to make wood pellets for pellet stoves? Some now do the same with their slab wood. http://www.woodpellets.com/heating-fuels/pellet-processing.aspx

For the most part you have to go to the lower half of the state here where muskie lakes are more common to find really big suckers or chubs for sale, most of those lakes also have a lot bigger catfish. The sucker spawn and walleye spawn are pretty close together here, I think they adapt to eating them.

Suckers will work for walleye in the summer here on Lake Erie, walleye seemed to be all I could catch on them, the smallies had a preference for golden shiners or emerald shiners, but the emeralds sold here were usually too small. I have never seen a bait store near the lakefront here selling suckers, it was catch your own.
