  1. Drift sock(s)! 5 gallon bucket's full of water suck when you want pull them back to the boat... And they take up a lot of room in an already loaded with gear boat, where as the drift sock folds up small... Unless they are white buckets, then they rule all!

  2. If in doubt, release it anyway. The way I see it, the fish may have only a small chance of survival, but it will have no chance whatsoever laying in the bottom of your fridge.

     

    And clearly no chance of survival in my belly! mmmmmm..... one eyed pickeral..... I wonder if that makes it taste even better?

  3. No it won't. Spectra braids are great lines and a definite upgrade over mono, but once they get nicked they lose alot more of their strength than mono, and they nick very easily. You still need a leader for toothy critters.

     

    I rarely use a leader with PP spooled up... Unless there are a ton of snot rockets around.

  4. Perhaps you took the fact that I pledge allegiance to humanity before a country offensive? Why is that? That doesn't mean my country is not very important to me as well, but you seem to deduce that I hate Canada and don't know anything about it? What kind of logic are you following?

     

    Last time I checked, there was no "humanity" consulate available to you when in a foreign country, if - god forbid, you ever needed help... Believe me, if you ever needed it, you'd be singing our anthem all the way home.

     

    I don't get around here much anymore but do lurk occasionally - Holdfast just has his own special way with words... I personally appreciate his love for country so don't take it personally.

  5. For something that I am sure was not intentional, to post a guys pictures and sponsors seems to be way over the top, thats how some of these guys make their livings and for someone to try and cause them harm because their boat swung out on a dock.

     

    Sorry bud, you are way off base. The reason why he is paid by those sponsers is for exposure. The better you do, the more exposure you get, the more money you get. Exposure comes from tourney's AND recreational coverage, the boat launch being a significant part of recreational coverage. When you are wearing your sponsored gear,etc., you better act in the best interest of your sponsor(s). If you act like an jerk off, then you deserve to get called on it. A big part of making that living is putting yourself out there for all to see (as it were) - behave accordingly. If he came over and apologized and was nice, like any decent angler would do, this post wouldn't be here, now would it? Your argument is nonsense.

  6. Not only is it dumb, reckless, and inconsiderate to leave those marker bouy's in the water overnight, not to mention for two days, it might even be illegal...so it serves you right. Hopefully you learned your lesson...but thats not likely either.

     

    Couldn't have said it better myself...

  7. To the originator of this thread. You've been here since the beginning of our re-vamped board. Ok, two days late but you were here all the same.

    I'm puzzled as to why you'd ask for this poll. You've been through 3 of the same polls (voted on one of them) since you've been here and the results have always been the same. People want it to stay as it is.

    Since you've been here, (a year and a half on the new board) you've started 7 topics, three of which were today. Of those seven topics, three of them were gambling type topics as in NHL/NFL pools. One was to ask for advice on the Ottawa..an OOD topic today (thank you) and hey! ONE fishing report!

    What is it that you don't understand about non fishing topics? You could probably just be trying to get a rise out of the membres here..I don't know.

    We've been at this for 10 years now and we have one of the strongest net/life communities in the world right now.

    Tell me what you're thinking........

     

    Thanks

     

    I'm honestly stunned that people are upset that this was poll was put up...

     

    I was viewing a hockey post (I know, shocking), and a poster was complaining about it being non fishing. I had noticed posts previously complaining about the same thing over and over again. I actually talked with an ex member the other day and he mentioned the same thing. I personally don't have a problem with NF topics - obviously, and as you most graciously pointed out through a summary of my posting history. (I have been around OFC well before there was a "C" - almost the full 10 years, but thanks for that...)

     

    Things change - the last time we had a poll on this topic was, what I thought anyway, a long time ago. I wanted to see if it is bugging more people than I thought. And if it wasn't and all was still status quo, I could still go ahead and contribute nothing to the F part of OFC, as you pointed out.

     

    I don't understand the lynching for putting this poll up. I explained on the first page why I was asking about it... I honestly had no ill intention of putting this up and had no idea some of the regulars here would get ticked off about it. Thanks for pointing out the lack of contribution to OFC from the "originator of this thread".
