Very nice looking rod Chris. Art

I normally wear a tee shirt and shorts when I am fishing ice out of my Scotch. Does that count? Art

You remind me of when I was a kid I had a creepy crawler maker with the hot plate and the melted plastics that I still have scars from. The joy of pouring them and the steam when you dipped them in water to kind of cool them off. The smells and the end result were what drove me to make another one. Very nice work on the bugs cheers Art

Eye see your point. Cheers Art

Welcome Kashan we are glad you are here. I started fishing when i was 4 years old. I would go fishing with my Dad or Uncles in the Bayous of Louisiana. I remember my Uncle Bennie when asked if the fish I caught was to small to keep and he said " if it has 2 eyes it is big enough." We would often catch Crappie and Bluegills and have a fish fry with the neighbors. Cheers Art

Looks like he has it figured out. Art

I have a simple request for my friends here Please take a moment to thank a Veteran who has served and offer a prayer to those who have given their lives to protect our freedoms. Thank you 2nd class USN Sea Bees Art

If you seal the letters and disc before you hang them you will be able to get a better seal. A marine grade varnish will be the best sealant you can find. This should say UV stabilizer on it to keep sun damage to a minimum. You also should consider making the letters larger and cut them from plywood to keep them from breaking along the grain of the wood. If you have the funds using teak or Acacia wood. Final thought is making it from trex or hockey board synthetics will last longer. Art

Thank you for disabling your ad block. It is this small revenue that keeps enough money in the kitty to afford our site and security upgrades current. Cheers Art

Welcome back Peter, Good to see life is going well for you. Art

One of the thoughts on this is that while the sampling numbers are way down what they can not account for is that the crabs are using a different migratory path. This could give a false flag as to a crash in the population. What changes could be food sources, water temperature, or habitat being different. Excessive harvesting does not fit a rapid decline of 80% loss of crabs. I am sure an answer will come forth and we can enjoy them again at the table. Art

You may still not discuss politics as part of our rules here. An ad disappears as soon as you refresh the page the discussions on politics drags on and does nothing to support the forum. You are here by choice and if this is the straw that breaks the camels back I imagine we will see less of you. While I do not feel shame I do feel pity that this is something that you find offensive.

While the site is named Ontario Fishing Community it has a very large presence from the United States. The ads are generated by what peoples past history searches and viewing are as they use the internet. We rely on people coming to the site without ad blockers to view the ads to pay for the expenses of running the site. If you do not like an ad just skip it, it is easy to do and will keep your blood pressure down. What we do do to make the site pleasant is not allow discussions in the forum about politics because unlike an ad they fester and become nasty in nature. Thanks Art

Buy 1 good saltwater rod that fits and use one of the musky reels is the easiest route to go. Art

Let's keep this factual and no personal attacks please. Art

And the jokes just keep coming. Art

Very nice I am glad you and Jack made the trip together. Art

Here is our sister website that has a lot of reviews and information. https://ontariofishingcommunity.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&do=advertisement&ad=25&key=a190b01e632f0a46bf95b067fba0c101d6b7b31ba2f994e230dd2440810275c3 Cheers Art

Nice, thanks for sharing Art

I see we can't have an adult discussion on this. Art

I have reset this from the past few comments. Please be kind and respect the death of the queen. Thank you Art

Sorry to hear this, she was a class act for sure and will be missed. Art

I have raced Jetskis since 1987 and with the majority of them being either Kawasaki and Now more prevalent is the Yamahas. If you do not know how to work on them I would chose the one that parts and repair can be done locally. If you can work on them then it is which ever you can get a good deal on. While riding the skis keep in mind that while riding in a confined area makes it fun to switch out riders it is annoying to others who are there to enjoy nature in its quietness. With this in mind enjoy the riding it is a great way to explore and be active on the water. Cheers Art

Well done as always. Chris. Art
