Excellent report, pics, and, fish Mike!!! Glad to see you and Glenn put an -whoopin' on those fish!!! It looks like a heckuva party was had by all those Hosers!!! I regret not being able to make this trip! I like your "Darth Vader" windshield... but you still have to "steer your car from the trunk" eh! I'm looking forward to the day you drop that Boga over the side, you really don't need it! Thanks for taking the time to post that great report!!!

Excellent report, pics, and fish Shawn!!! You couldn't have picked to better guys to be in the boat with either! That looks like a trip to remember!!!

The little ones are cuter and more photogenic doncha yanno!

yeah, I edited it... a 400*F grill, I do like my steaks medium rare and juicy!!!

That's real close to the way I do my beef steaks Jacques! ... except I use a Honey Teriyaki marinade and slap them on a 400*F grill and turn them one time only!

Great report bly, very entertaining!!!

I think as you get older, fishing slips down the list of priorities... with "checking" your Depends and drooling on yourself taking precedence. ... aint that right Jack?!!! ... and Roy!!!

Talkin' trash like that is a good way to wake up with a yardfull -hole deep to a tall Giraffe Jacques!!!

... so you're employed by a union and not a company?

Dang Bubba!!! Sorry to hear of your misfortunes! ... and even though the fishin' wasn't good, I'm sure there was a good time meeting the fellow OFNers!!!

Yes I have!!!... and it's a blast!!! That looks like a real "go fasty" there!!!... looks like it's doin' a hunert just sittin' still! Doesn't look like it's gonna be too much longer before you can use it too! http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=25540 Be keerful on that thing!!!

I'm fixin' to put a cyber whoopin' on yer boy!!!

Spare me the hype! ... and show me the frakin' PICS!!!

Spinning tackle will work just fine!Spool up with 4lb. test fluro for the clear water. Bonefish eat small crustaceans like crabs and shrimp, so maybe a small crawfish imitation may work if you want to do the artificial thing. Live bait will work the best, live shrimp and Peeler crabs. You can catch your own Peeler crabs on concrete seawalls with a fine mesh net, they live inbetween the oysters and run all over the walls. Wading the flats will work, and so will a kayak or other small boat. Bonefish are unfit to eat, unless you like Carp (very bloody and strong tasting). If you want to catch something for the table, Mangrove Snappers, Hinds, and even small Barracudas (less than 24") are great!!!

I'm south of you and haven't seen any snow!

Looks like a helluva day out there!!! Congrats! I hope our G2G boys did well too!

Great report and pics!!! Looks like you had a little help with the cleaning process... mostly supervisors though.

BAIT!!!

Are you still "saving up" for the fish fry?

Excellent Brown and some nice Steelies!!!

Excellent effort braving the elements for those beautiful fish!!!

TJ, you can purchase hydraulic fluid at almost any Power Equipment supply shop... i.e John Deere, Toro, etc. I wouldn't use the tranny fluid except for a last resort... do you have any power tilt/trim fluid for your boat? It would be very close, if not the same thing. Here's where you can get an online manual, you really prolly need to look at it. http://www.mtdcanada.com/model-search.asp Working on a hydraulic system while under pressure is very dangerous!

PM Cliff (ccmt), I believe he got a pretty nice new one for a reasonable price Rich!

Reading the posts to this thread, I can't help but notice the malaise toward the company that the unions breed into their workers. Not only do I see it in this thread, but on the job too! These people aren't working for the company that signs their paycheck, they're working for the union that they have to give a portion of their paycheck to!!!(extortion?) These people have been brainwashed with propaganda for so long, they actually believe it! Is this the type employee you would want working for you if you owned a company?... I think not! They aren't going to give 100%... they're just going to do what they have to to get by... but why should they show extra effort? Their pay will stay the same regardless, because a union scale says so! I personally believe a persons pay should be based on their experience, effort, ability, and attitude! This system provides a much more productive work force! It would be in Ford and GM's best interest to shut down completely and reopen under new names in an area that has the "right to work" law and people that will appreciate a good job! Of course the union and unemployed union workers will blame the company for their sad situation... but we'll know who's really to blame...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... what'd I do to pissyou off this time Bern?
