    Thanks guys... Ohiofisherman, you don't prefer the cork handle? I guess not necessary? 

     

    What the diff b/w medium and medium/heavy? Fast action? Just got my reel.. so small.. 

    Just a little heavier action, look at the casting weights, cork is OK, no preference to me though. Never bought a rod without seeing and holding it myself, a feel for it being able to do the job?

    Go and get a small can of liquid tape, put on several coats.  I've used it on boat trailer wiring after soldering and shrink tube, on my big ring connectors on my travel trailer and cargo trailer.  It doesn't crack or shrink and hasn't let any corrosion start.

    They used that stuff on the tractors and trailers at a few of my jobs, it works, and you can just picture the beating it takes in commercial applications. If you can find a copper bolt, nut, and washers that might be the way to go for a good connection?

    I'll begin vaccinating those who choose to receive Moderna next month.  It should be interesting, there may just be the opportunity to vaccinate Canada's entire most northern community, myself.  Being that individuals can accept or decline, I'll respect anyone's choice when I offer it.  Hopefully, people are beyond Facebook educated by then and best able to control their opinions and just respectfully take the shot in the arm, or not.

     

    Our local paper is saying 80% of nursing home residents are accepting the vaccine, but only 60% of nursing home employees are.

    The study timing info in that link states:
    Actual Study Start Date  :December 7, 2020

    Estimated Primary Completion Date  :March 2021

    Estimated Study Completion Date  :March 2021

    I guess more info will be available then. 

    If you also noted the location? Columbia. We aren't the only ones searching for answers?

    I just saw this. A few years ago I watched a show on eels. They do migrate from the ocean into lakes and streams particularly in the Maritimes and northern states. There's a very lucrative industry in catching the small ones, ke eping them alive and shipping them to Japan for aquaculture that grows them to maturity. Very similar to how tuna are caught small, penned and grown to maturity  in the Med. The dollar numbers for the guys who caught them in streams and the guys who shipped them to Japan were 6 figures. VERY lucrative. Not sure if this is still going on but with that kind of $$ it might get fished out quickly. Speak of quirky ways to make money fishing it's possible to make a 6 figure income on the Columbia river catching Pikie Minnows and turning them in for a bounty. All you need is an Ugly Stick and a container of worms. Lots of hours too. Finally if you review Christmas dinner for British kings and queens you will always see some Lamprey pie as well as roast Swan on the menu

    Some serious cash for minnows!

  6. After my second marriage my wife and I went to Newport News Virginia to visit her girlfriend and her husband that lived there. Some water supply reservoirs there and the area tackle shops had 10+ plus bass hanging on their walls that had been caught in them, all I could connect with were eels like the one on page one. They cut most of the Golden Shiners I was using for bait in half, like they had been cut with a knife. When I finally hooked one and saw what it was I didn't want it the the boat with me!

    The ones here are saltwater eels , they migrate back to the Ocean. The lifecycle is quite unique

    Evidently the European ones and the American Eels are both thought to spawn in the Sargasso Sea, European countries such as Belgium have also had severe declines in their population.

    When I was a kid we caught like 5-6 small ones, like 6-7 in ch while netting chubs for bait in a tributary of Lake Erie, roughly 15 - 20 miles upstream from the lake, never saw another one again here.

  8. I have what doctors have called a virulent form of MS, my immune system is attacking the Myelin sheath around my Central Nerve System. That said? I figure if I get COVID I am a dead duck, but there isn't much info on what a COVID vaccine might also do to an immune system.

    Doctors, nurses want more data before championing vaccines

    By CHRISTOPHER ROWLAND

    The Washington Post

    Doctors and nurses, coping with the daily risk of coronavirus exposure, are expected to get top priority to receive vaccines that could become available as soon as next month. But it’s an open question how many will seize their place at the front of the line.

    Large health systems, medical societies and the federal government are launching an effort to persuade frontline health care providers to take novel vaccines that were developed, and are likely to be granted emergency approval, in record time.

    In Boston, major teaching hospitals are rolling out educational videos aimed at assuring medical staff the process of developing coronavirus vaccines will result in safe and effective shots. At New York’s Mount Sinai Health System, a leading infectious disease doctor said he likely will distribute photos of himself getting a shot in a bid to build confidence in front-line staff.

    Hospitals in urban areas are taking additional measures to make sure ethnic and racial minority members, who form a large percentage of their front line nursing and support staffs, receive rapid information about the safety and effectiveness of the new vaccines.

    Winning buy-in from doctors and nurses is crucial to gaining broader public support for the vaccines, based on the high degree of trust placed in them by patients. The hesitancy of some health care workers is attracting attention as the first two vaccines, from Pfizer and Moderna, near deployment. Pfizer and its partner, BioNTech, filed their Food and Drug Administration application for emergency use on Friday.

    Polling last month showed that 58% of U.S. adults were willing to get vaccinated against the coronavirus. A Pew Research Center poll in September found 51% of Americans said they would definitely or probably get a coronavirus vaccine.

    Medical experts said attitudes among doctors, nurses and the public could shift quickly as new data are revealed. But government, academic, and health-care officials say that significant numbers of providers want more data about the vaccine before it is deployed. Some of the information is expected to be released next month by the FDA.

    A report released Thursday by University of California Los Angeles researchers said that 66% of Los Angeles health care workers who responded to an online questionnaire (not a randomized sample) said they would delay taking a vaccine. The American Nurses Association, a national union, said one-third of its members do not intend to take

    Jeffrey A. Hirschfield, a pediatrician in St. Petersburg, Fla., has shared his reservations about a coronavirus vaccine on Twitter. “It typically takes five to 10 years to successfully develop and vet vaccine candidates, especially those relying on new technologies,” he said.

    the vaccine and another third are undecided.

    New Jersey said last week that its data showed that 66% of the state’s doctors planned to receive the vaccine. Among professionals contacted by the state, “some did not want to be in the first round, so they could wait and see if there are potential side effects,” New Jersey Health Commissioner Judith M. for The Washington Post by Octavio Jones Persichilli said at a Nov. 9 news briefing. “Of those who said they would not take the vaccine, many said they would be more than willing to get the vaccine at a later date when more data is available.” The hesitancy among doctors and nurses is not the same as the anti-vaccine movement, which medical experts consider a fringe trend fueled by misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media. Health professionals tend to be advocates of vaccines, including seasonal flu shots, shingles vaccines, and childhood inoculations for measles, mumps and rubella.

    But in the case of coronavirus shots, health care leaders say President Donald Trump’s frequent promises about vaccines have raised doubts about the objectivity of agency reviews, as have the speed of the manufacturers’ clinical trials, and unfamiliarity with the novel techniques used by the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to trigger natural antibodies.

    I'd like to have seen another 0 on the end of that $9000 fine.

    They could have fined him a million, but would he have been able to pay?

    " Ben Woo and staff later dumped 188 of those dead bass into the garbage "

    No fine for the staff members?
