TOM C

Puckhead I am still not sure where this guy did someone so much harm that he should be roasted on a public form, but I guess your right because he is a pro he some how gave up his right to make human errors, and the way I read the original post it wasnt the boat owner who made the comment that seemed to have bothered the ones making the post. So I apologize for seeing this from the pros side, and as many of the others I fish with and against we will wait patentialy well others that dont launch as often as we do fumble around and back in the launch 7 or 8 times and ram our boats because their not sure how to stop the boat from going forward, untie their boats while at the ramp rather than before they get to the ramp, and do this full well knowing that if we make the same human errors and momantary lapses in judgement and dont say what people want us to say we run the risk of being ridiculed on public forms such as this one by folks that have all the right answers and know all the right things to do, but I sure hope pros can see past all this and still put up prize packages and take the time to speak to people at launches. I am done, nothing more can come of my time on OFC. And if the spelling isnt right, thats why I dont teach spelling in school P.S. the guy was there for the Fish T.V. Celebrity Show down which is a fantastic event for kids to come down and see their favorite sports stars and get autographs and such, but hey shame on Darrin for coming all the way to help out and for getting in the way. And ya greencoach you win I will not post on OFC again and I hope others follow suite, and the good folks here like the way you treat people, because I know of no PRO that would disrespect people near as much as you do, but hey they seem to like that you rarely have any thing positive to say

Figuratively not Literally but hey chalk another one up to the spelling cops.

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. And greencoach as always your wisdom and grasp of the english language are great, with 5,867 posts and a 3rd of them telling someone they are an jerk I feel kinda warm all over that you would take the time to grace one of my posts with your time, after all it does say your a FISHING GOD, but like the Woman Bassmaster who a couple of weeks ago wouldnt take the time for you to teach her how to catch fish next to a dam,LOL, I to feel at this time have nothing to learn but if ever the need ariases I will ask, but please stay at your post, so you can inform us all when the next jerk (OTHER THAN ME) shows up, or better yet refer to POST5 of this thread AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK IN THAT MAGIC MIRROR OF YOURS

Funny how petty some people can get, calling tournament anglers aholes, and how they have no respect, and how they bully all you out of your spots, and how they hurt the resourses, non of they people that seem to do all the crap flinging even have a freakin clue, as to how the top pros behave on or off the water, all of the top run series in Canada have code of ethics, that must be followed, and they are, if asked to move from a dock they will, they know and practice boat launch protical, they regularly help with fish surveys and tagging, they practice catch and release. How many of you that seem to want to call them aholes can say they do any of these things. Jealiousy is a terrible thing. And being at a boat launch at least 200 times a year, the funny thing about your story and your pictures is, you said he arrived at the launch before you( and there is no 10k zone so passing is allowed) but your 1 pics shows that you had at least 100 feet of open dock ahead of this boat but for some reason decided to park right up against this boat, when you clearly had enough open dock to get 5 boat lenghts away. Maybe when one of the larger series runs a tournament on a lake close, go down and watch how 100 boats unload and load with not any where near the trouble that you had with 2 boats at a launch.

Hudderites= they live as a collective,where they all work for the colony, have very few modern day gadets,ie:no tv, radio,micro waves, work eat and live as a group (like the BORG) Mennonites= live and farm as individuals, have modern equiptment, but have a strong set of religious values. Yamish= Do not use power equiptment, no cars,no trucks, no tractors, but will let others use modern things to get their goods to market, they as well live in a colony setting where the elders decide everything as a collective. Hudderites and Yamish would never be allowed to buy a fishing licence, and in most colonies their have their own stocked ponds.

Not sure what thats all about but good luck.

You did nothing to apologize for, Its a new rule and more sreies will follow, and they could talk to you all they want in the days leading up to the event (prefish). But a lot of tournament anglers have learnt that when you talk to folks on their docks about where the fishing is best, its always on the other sidw of the lake,LOL

Well I dont know what tournaments you fishbut next one check the rules, because such rules do apply,CSFL Rule#10 THERE SHALL BE NO ADVANTAGEOUS THIRD PARTY COMMUNICATION ON OR OFF THE WATER DURING THE EVENT WITH COMPETING OR NON COMPETING INDIVIDUALS. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION

They dont ask for 1 very good reason ITS AGAINST THE RULES. Rules are set up so that because a person knows people on the lake, they dont get an unfair advantage by having all their friends telling them where the fish are and what to use. Its the same reason the Lady Bassmaster would not talk to GCD about fishing the tourny she was in, besides his comment about how she wasnt cathing fish and he was slaying them were kind of funny, she wasnt trying to hook fish, just looking for them, and if he was catching them I gaurante any of the Ladies on the Bassmaster tour would be more than happy to school him on catching fish nexted to a Dam,lol And as much as you may have had some good info Cliff, as far as advice on where and how to catch fish, from most people, is worth exactly what the advice cost Zero

U2U me if you would like to know how to elimiate line twist and have your line sit better on your reel than you ever have

One of my friends did say that the dreams he was having well taking the drug were pretty intense. I know this is a touchy subject, but if the drugs you have to take are not good for you,just quit, sorry but no one will convince me that you cant just quit,I did, and I smoked just as heavy as anyone else,its your mind, control it. Before anyone beats up on what I just said,remember I smoked almost 2 packs aday,for over 20 years, and I did it, so I dont see any reason why anyone cant. There are no reasons only excuses. Just look at all the positive posts on here as to how many people quit. Good luck to all who will QUIT and good job done by all those who have already.

I had a heart attack and havent had a smoke since, have also had a couple of friends stop with the help of Champx since, I quite cold turkey, if a heart attack and the realization of when your dead your dead arnt motivation enough Im not sure anything will be. Heres where I start to have a problem, should the average Canadian tax payer have to pay the health bill of someone who, will not help themselves. Sorry but all of us that smoked, had the same cravings and the same needs, so if a person wont help themselves, im not sure the world should fit the bill for anyone who wont at least help themselves Sounds harsh but maybe if having heart attacks and drugs your doctor can give you dont help maybe the burden of having to fit your own health bill will
