misfish

I,ll be doing a bunch this fall. Red/green mix with roasted garlic. Seems I have those that wish to BARTER . I get in return, smoked Polish cheese ( 3 kinds ) and Russian home made pepperettes , and some of the best Asian eats as well. Im surprised I can keep at 180 lbs. LOL

Wheres that Terry guy when you need him?????????????? Oh ya, he,s fishing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, DAMIT. I have my first go pro camera. Session 5. I have to say it works great, WHEN, it does. I find it seems to have a mind of it,s own. Will be sitting there off, then just come on by it,s self. I have probly reset factory settings 10 times since I got it. Recently, I have been getting the format SD thing. (this I could use help on )I like the small cube thing and all, but thinking of going back to the fugi brand. I miss the zooming in mode most of all. Cant do that with the go pros it seems.

WT H ?

My question is, how do they get away with this ? Thanks for posting PK

YUP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LOL Grats Kelvin.

Watched this during my lunch break. OMG Enjoy Albert Now to make a smaller version. Look at all that schunchens. OMG that is to die for. Perfect texture.

And you sir, are my HERO of this board.

You are one member, I would never say too, no pic, no believe Lew, but a go pro attached to yer chest, and one on yer back side, running, or walking fast away from said mama bear, would of been classic. Oh I believe ya pal. Had this happen once In Algonquin park. Driving the stretch and seen a cub. It was wow. Get out and take some pic,s. Then here comes mama. Back in the car quick, and off I went. Never mess with mama,s.

Bye dat jeeperz bye, you havent changed a bit. Still looking like that cool cat I met so many years ago. Nice to see ya out and aboat, No, I spelt that right daddyooooo.

Just head to Simcoe. Lots of water and fish too. Whats an extra 15 minute drive.

I was waiting for the wrath of Moses, to hold thee staff up high, and make all humans believe, the world was coming to an end, if our boss didnt let us leave to watch. Well 3:30 came and work was over for me. Good enough I guess.

No longer on this earth

No it's not Zamfir. Lol

This mornings sunrise was AMAZING. This orange ball off in the horizon. It was spectacular to watch. That was until this noisy tooner , with a gas engine came buy. WHY , WHY WHY ?. LOL I wish I had a way of zooming in on my GP, it was a stunning sight to behold. As for the fishing part, I had double and triple chasers. I could not get any of them to commit. 125 fow down to 100 fow. I was blown away. Some even chased for 2-3 minutes. Go up, fall back, Drop the bait, and they would come screaming in again. Even down sized my presentation. Same results. So you,ll be happy to hear, there was no WACKING, going on today, on the toon.

I really need to go for a walk along a well known stretch up here ,and have my camera rolling. Then again, I dont feel the need to get jumped and my head kicked in, cuz I seen things that I shouldnt. Shane is a well respected member here. He is not talking out his ass. MANY SEE THESE THINGS THAT HAPPEN. Naming race well, thats a touchy subject. I would just say I seen these guys. MAYBE ADD OF DIFFERENT RACE. That is NOT OFFENDING, if you ask me.

Nice fish bud, but yer still ugly.LOL

LOL my friend You had me at the end,,,,,,,,,,,,,, And last but not least anchovies. I like them chopped not so fine. LOL Thank you for the recipe as always. You and I, are UNICO

Unico is Italian,,,NO ?

My favorite to add to my pasta salads Albert.

Had one of those, oh my god, just like when I was a kid, BBQ movement today. When we (brothers, sister, family and friends ) did picnics at 6 mile lake in the 70,s, the menu was simple. BBQ lemon chicken, corn on the cob, over coals and salads. I still remember those days like it was yesterday. My pop was the BBQ chef . He like I, take from others recipes, that made great food, and made it our own, but never forgot where we got it from. As my propane BBQ had gone for a crap, and waiting til fall for the deals, I turned mine into a charcoal broiler today. My most favorite thing over a coal BBQ as a kid, was pops lemon chicken. I have made it over propane, but never did it seem, or come close, to tasting the same. Funny how it took a few tools to assemble it, but yet, it took one, a hammer, to break out the inners . LOL With the departed chicken resting well in fresh squeezed, lemon and lime juice, I layered the bottom of the Q, with some heavy duty tin foil. Stacked the coals and lit away. The burning charcoal smell reminded me of my youth. It also made me think, one of the neighbors are going to complain. LOL Waiting for the coals to get white, was a pain. This is what happens when you have propane. Light and go.LOL Once the heat was there, it was time to put the sliced potatoes, sprinkled with dill,salt,pepper and garlic, wrapped in foil on. About a half hour later, it was time for the fowl. As I stand and watch and smell, my memory comes back once again. These words just pop out , No, you cant go swimming , you need to wait an hour after eating. I started laughing. Mudders know best. Once all was done, I couldnt wait to sample the chicken. When I bit into it, I can honestly say, it was like when I was a kid. So the price tag of a charcoal BBQing today Bag of coal, $5 They do look fancier . LOL Stupid fire starter $5 Bag of 5 legs $5 Lemons over priced , 80 cents each 12 tall boys, they are on sale. LOL Price of a memory of the past, PRICLESS

Already looking forward to it Dave. Love this video

This is why I like my new salmon fishing venue. A handful of locals and me, the outsider. Not one of us, even think of doing one wrong move. They and I, are on the same page. It is so pleasant to fish with these guys. A couple of them are young, the rest older then I. Great stories shared , The banter of ,cloths line reels vs the coffee grinder reels, is a hoot. Fish are caught and released 90% of the time. Odd one kept for roe and yes, they eat the fish. Most of them smoke their catch and share during our gatherings. Even the share of the wealth of roe, will be shared. Not one takes more then they need. Best bunch of fellas I have ever met. Sure glad I just walked in to stir up a chat way back. Yup Simon, when I first moved to Barrie, I got the low down on the hot spots to fish. I also got a real good look at the LOCALS, ripping fish out of the water. Yes LOCALS. YAHOOS. I was like, WT %$$% IS THIS. I got some real serious looks. Like, you just keep walking and never mind what we are doing. Line as thick as cloths cable, huge trebles with a bit of white yarn. Guess they thought the yarn was a safe way of saying, they are hitting it. Knowing now what I know, they were collecting eggs to sell. This is why now all roe sold, has to be from licensed fish farms. It is all walk of nations, that make this crap show ruin it for those that truly enjoy the salmon season.

Thanks for reminding me Mikey. I agree Steve. Majority of my fishing gear is bought used these days. I will buy new ,if it,s on sale and like said, in my budget. Lots of stuff bought these days is hype, but I will admit, there is a quality presents. Like waders. All the rave about Simms. Ya they are nice, but I cant afford 5-7 hundred for them, so I have a pair that were 150. Treat them well, and they will last. If I get 5 years out of them, they have paid for themself. I remember this one guy on the river talking up his Hardy custom float rod. How it was the best on the market. When I headed back to the truck, he was there trying to separate the sections. Even asked me to help. We could not get it apart. Yup, theres your $,s spent well.

I can not believe the prices of some of these reels/rods, these days. Why these outrages prices? What makes them so special ? Do they catch bigger/better fish? My god, the prices I have seen for new, and those selling used, has my mind twisting and turning. I can understand those that design and manufacture, custom pin reels, and sell as one and only 1st off of 10. But, when I see well known manufacture reels, selling for hundreds or even thousands of $$$$, I just squirm. Whats so special about them? I have caught many fish over my 45 years of fishing. As a wee fella, I used a simple closed face reel, Zebco,Johnson. Oh they cast a mile it seemed ,back then. Getting on in age, ya 12/14, I was introduced to the spinning reel. Mitchell,was the family brand to use then. Wow, look at me, Im using a spinning reel . Then comes the , oh look, Cardinal has brought out the 3 and 4 black. I never knew there was an earlier 3/4. You know, the green/white, brown/white ones. The newer black card, 3/4 blacks, were the reels to be had in the early 80.s. It was the river rave then. I still had a Mitchell 300 on my old ugly stick rod. I called it the salmon hunter. LOL Seemed then, I was the guy that looked out of place. Back then ,before this WWW, the word on the river, was the word. You need this, you need to get this. Everyone shared by word of mouth. Those were the days. Had a guy standing beside me on the Humber river one morning. He had this new rod that came out. Called the HELL BENDER . It was a sweet rod. I drooled. He also had the new, black card 3 on it. More drool. He had told me where to buy the rod and reel, but they no longer had them in stock, so I called many shops in the GTA to find this rod, and the reel. ( Did I say call) you know, by phone. LOL I found the rod at a local shop. the name escapes me. I drove to the store and bought it for $60. I was like,I am in the club. So now I have this rod . I need a new reel. See where this is going ? So one day walking through a Kmart, I see it. The Black 3. OMG. It,s the black 3. And it,s $45. Back then, it was like, do I get diapers and formula for the baby, or, do I buy the reel. I was brought up right, so I knew best then. I had mentioned to the mrs,s that I had seen the reel at the local Kmart, and when the time was right, I would buy it. Well time went by and I just couldn't buy it.. So here I fished with a nice new rod with a mitchell reel. Oh, I still caught some nice fish . Come Christmas, there was a box with my name on it. From Santa. I knew better , but played along with the kids. The size of the box told me, it was what I thought it would be, but no, it couldn't be. So I unwrap ,and I see ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OMG,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I rip the rest of the wrapping paper off as quick as I could. IT,S A BRAND NEW BLACK CARD 3. The next morning, I slide the reel in to the slip rings, secure the rings in place with my hockey tape. It was a great feeling. So a , a talk about must have rod, and a new must have reel, was joined. Did it catch more fish, or more quality fish ? Oh I caught fish back then. I caught just as many fish as I did with my Mitchell/rod combo, before I went and got my new must have combo. And even to this day, I cringe, at the prices. Anyone catch my PB LM , or my laker videos? Using 15 +, year old rods and reels. The Hell bender and Card 3, are still mated. The reel is still healthy, but the rod well, has shown it,s age. I did get a custom float rod, ( hype ? ) Ya maybe, but it did feel good. Work of art.I have caught just as many fish using a lower priced rod,pin combo, My point in this post is,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Do not get caught up in thinking, the more you spend, the more you will catch . Knowing how to catch, is the answer here. Tom Sawyer caught fish on a twig and a bobbin thread,hook and worm. Was just in the mood to type and share . Keeping my mind off udder things.
