I bought my 50 merc 4 stroker new in 96-------been excellent------tons of hours---do the maintenance though Bushart

Years ago I moved to Alberta for a short time and they had a river that stayed open most of the year. Northerns back then not having a season so I tried my hand at catchin them in cold water with artificials. Here's what worked---remember there was no snags---mud bottom I dragged a red & white spoon literally thru the mud on bottom---one reel crank rev every minute (Seemed like) but like everyone has said slow being key. Bushart

All G'Bay and Seamanship aside... If that boat floats and is dry---trailer near new---motor starts and runs good---What's the question for 3500 bucks?? I would'nt kick the stones too long with spring comin---it'll have a new owner---just check those things---even if he does'nt move much on that price it sounds good---maybe get a mechanic to check that engine? One big prob though-----not a tiller---so won't be able to catch anything though---oh well world needs tubers as well Bushart

I had that heavy paintable wallpaper put in--can get at Can Tire (Debbie Travis)or Home depot--maybe paper over what ya got then paint Bushart

No kiddin last year spring was so late---it was around the 20th of April before we were able to get on the ice out lakers---this is the 15th of March and I'm thinkin I soon gotta get the oil change done on my outboard and batteries charged. May be time to wind our watches soon boys

Nah there's about 3 or 4 more stones on the road I have'nt kicked yet---I'm probably going to get one---I've got issues with art on the internet---The whole thing is so saturated I don't know how anybody can sift through it all to find what they want. To date I've stayed traditional with galleries---I may be forced soon though.

Thanks Teej 24w x 36 H (inches)

Unforunately there's salmon ya can't see in the photography

I was gonna call it ...."HEY DUMMY!!" But it would remind me too much of my childhood Bushart

Looks great Jacques---also looks like a lot of work---good job

Work In Progress Just an update boys---she's not done----thinkin about a cub on that log---then finish dressin it up Bushart

I try not to be critical of those that have achieved a level I could not even in my prime. I used to do my fair share of armchair qb'n but these guys have the talent that brought them to the top and I do not so it's hard to criticize Now if Crosby goes fishin....it's on. Alas nowadays the only way I'll own the podium is after last nights fire wagon chilli. Bushart

I did'nt know jack about pointers till I went to paint one I found out----owners of pointers who field trial and hunt are VERY into their sport and info on this breed. I asked a couple questions and I got tons of info---some kinda funny---like---1st draft of the dog I had his tail straight back------well I was quickly corrected that this was a European Point and up was North American. See what ya can learn---you may be entering a world where they place the bar kinda high. Bushart Proud owner of a purebred Northern BeerHound

CAN I GET A WHOOOO! HOOOO!

Looks great Now that Randy pointed it out--kinda see what he means with the "B" Otherwise excellent job Bushart

Thanks Guys, Misfish---have'nt seen ya round for a while----you ok? Anyway if you guys that have posted in this one like this piece and have a decent printer---I can send you a high resolution copy to print out at home. These internet postings are pretty compressed. Wally World has some decent wood frames for good price if ya like---or a 4 inch spike into a stud in the garage works too. I like using 72 lb high gloss photo paper for better copies. (Get mine at Staples---make sure your printer will accomadate---they sell by the piece at foto counter) There's a lot of artists out there trying to protect their work from downloading---I look at it--art is mean't to look at----why you see it here. PM me your e-mail address and I'll get one off to you (Too big of a file to use this system) Can you put your username in the message cause I'm in my own little world and only know Jacques, TJ, Rick and Gerritt by name. Me

I actually dislike whitefish---so you can keep my limit Over the years I heard Tapioaca (sp?)

Now this morn there's a few uptights in the world upset that Wickenheiser was spendin some of that hamburger helper cash on beer and stogies after the game on the ice. Man there has to be more to worry about than that.

Turned to this

Thanks very much Spiel. I believe you can give it a go----Recipe includes a little patience---determination---thick skin--litle instruction---and imagination I can only speak for myself but I found that once I took the intimidation factor out---meaning--allowing myself to make mistakes--cause you can paint over them and loosened up--- things moved forward. I'm not sure where the talent level is but the determination level for me is high----meaning I won't quit till it looks kinda like I wanted. Also everyone you meet will want to critique' your work---other artists are the absolute definition of that---try not to care too much cause it's your vision on your canvas that counts----now helpful hints are good---especially starting out. My advice is start small---be the least rigid you can---get some info and ideas and go. Also---it's very competitive out there so don't quit your job after one or two paintings I'll post 2 pics to show how you can transform work your unhappy with (At times I'll take my pocket knife and scrape down to the canvas blobs of paint that will still show images even after painted over) I understand that DaVinci who taught would recycle canvas'---you could scratch a students work and find a complete different painting beneath. This done a long time ago

Thanks All Yeah Bob Ross was very successful in what he did---very good tips for the beginner artist in that sort of area. I believe he made a small empire in selling his books/paints and episodes. Here's another tip for those interested in pickin up the brush and gettin colourful fingertips---Public Television puts on another show from a guy in the US---Jerry Yarnell One painting will take several episodes as opposed to Bob's one (no crticism---just different) He will go more in-depth----that and time and practice is a great start Of course he has books and what-not----the show is a free education though---and a good starting point Bushart

No Probs---I'm here all week

***L'il offer I had put at end of thread*** Then it just went old school from there... Think I'm callin this one......Lone Joe Bushart

I think we need to notify the mods on this thread now as it appears to be detremental to your health.... It's killin me!!! RIP Bushart---he always knew when the beer was the right temperature

At the 1st onset of an east wind---fishing can actually be better Generally once it's blowin a while I have found things to slow down a tad---probably that whole barometric thing accompanied by old rhymes Bushart
