Every once in a while I'll have one of my employees bead blast my cast iron grates then after a good wash with dish soap I'll soak them in veg oil.

Your gonna get me fired......... This read cost my employer $100s

I DONT CARE!!!!

As always Bunk, totally STELLAR!

Thank you!

Yea Rick, this thread is getting too heavy as we would say in the 70's, I'm bowing out. Anyone catch a Bass today?

I feel for you OI and everyone whom has had to deal with this disease. It has touched nearly everyone.

Every single day I hold my babies and I pray that I can do my best to keep them from making the decision that can alter so many lives.

All the best to all

 

Good news is my bbq is smashed???

How is that good news?

Unless that means UPGRADE!

Love your family/friends, if they are addicts love em unconditionally ( same as if they are not)

 

Addicts usually have brutal pasts, life experiences etc. Dont shun them.

 

They are humans, moms, dads, uncles, aunties, grandmas, grandpas, friends, hard workers, homeless, war vets, terminally ill patients etc.

 

Try to help. If it doesnt work, dont stop trying. Dont support the addiction. Support the person.

 

They need tools. Tools to deal. Offer help when it comes to those tools, treatment, drs, psychiatrists, counsellors etc.

 

Ive never met a person that wants to be an addict.

 

But ive met alot of people that love life.

 

If ya can, help them the best way you can. Love and support?

Well said Rick

Thank you for putting solid meaning to this thread!

 

YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND!

Indeed he is!

Nah, I like the Canadian shield to much. It's as much about the scenery as it is the fishing for me.

X2 fer sure!

That looks like a blast! Great getaway I'm certain!

And congrats on scoring a woman with the same love of the outdoors as you. My wife wouldn't be caught dead doing any of that. Some say that's a blessing, I don't.

How many tugs does it take?

HI YO!

Can't get enough

Watched and read everything AGAIN!

That's a quality post eh..............?

MAN!!! I hope I get an opportunity to experience that some day!

The report made my Father's Day even better. If you and Bunk got together and compiled your experiences, the book would be EPIC!!

Thank you for sharing it with us Mike!

Fifty years ago I remember Americans that we met on summer vacation would remark about how clean and litter free our parks and highways were.

Less than 50 years. I remember it being this way 15 years ago.

Most shore fishermen that I've encountered over the years aren't really into fishing or the outdoors all that much... So generally speaking, these kinda folk don't give a damn about mother nature. They love to party, poach, and litter.

That's it in nut shell

Great and enlightening story. So many factors that I've never really thought of. Like, if he was wearing his pfd instead of holding it, he could of better managed the flares. Or, he would have went for the radio before going overboard.

For the most part on my little local lakes I don't wear my pfd. But just the other day I'd taken my 2 year old out in my little 13 ft tinny for an hour. Before we got into the boat I put her life jacket on then I put mine on. The thought that I had was if something happened, I could better take care of her while floating. Why don't I think of that while with my 15 year old or my brothers?

I've got a new habit when I get in the boat now.

Thank you for sharing the eye opener!

 

 

I can honestly say that was the worst mess left by so-called outdoorsmen that I have ever had the displeasure of seeing.

Those people are not outdoorsmen by any stretch. Outdoorsman care about the outdoors. The people who leave their garbage where they fish are simply lowlife scum.

So what yer sayin is Canada has low life scum too?!?!

I hate people too......

Hahahahah !!!!

Why didn't I think of that....?

Former Ontario record round goby

 

Is that a goby or a turd?

Barf!

I'm off to a local Amish bulk foods store. If I find some, I'll pm you

I wonder what the international shipping cost would be?

We will see

That's the stuff I live for! Just me my brothers and my son........... Oh how I long for it!

Thanks for sharing!

I seriously can't wait to give a similar report. I really don't care if I catch any fish. Just camping on crown land on a picturesque Canadian Shield lake. Gadzooks! Where did all my vacation time go!!!

Signed,

Jealous

It's so hard to trust people sometimes. Yes, he could be a great guy and this is all not what it seems. But there are way too many "what ifs"

I hate to say set things up like your wife is the bait. She goes out to let the dogs out, he makes his way over again, you pop out in the middle of the conversation.

Do you have any way to see if he has a criminal record? Could he be a sex offender?

Argh! Too many ??????

Signed.

Yup

Me too

Exhale...........

I used to imagine that Daniel was doing exactly what he wanted. His dream to live among the wild. of course, I didn't drift too far from the reality of his likely fate but, it was cool to think that this person could be doing what so many dream of. No cell phone. No job. No bills. No drama. Existence only known to God.

Rest in peace Daniel

And may the peace of closure come to the Trask family

Thank you for posting TJ

You never cease to amaze.............

Stunning photography .......

Lucky dog........

Thanks for sharing!

That monster ling is RADD!

Nice work!
