If you are happy and confident in your abilities of your current job, then step up and make your voice heard. Do not be stepped on. If thats what you are worried about, then you are just there to be there. I have been with the same company for 22 years. Starting off at the bottom and kept working my way up. It wasnt for what I knew, but my work ethics. Worked hard and always willing to learn. The company I work for, seen this, and always rewarded me. Never asked for a thing. They would offer one job to the next. I was always taking them up on their offers. Now heres one thing I will tell you about moving on up. ( And Im not talking about the Jeffersons ) More hours, more responsibilities. This took it,s toll on me the past 5 years. Stress and health issues. The company never seen the signs, nor did I, as the plant was running fine. Then one day, it hit and I was not the same person I was. The company did get on board and asked that I keep my position, but needed to step back and give up my work load and hours. They brought new people in to help with this. This was a real hard pill to swallow for me, but it was for the best. I now work a normal 40 hour week, but I still care how things go. Im not a leave it for the next guy kinda guy. Before I was doing 50-60 HPW. My longest stretch with 4 days off was 4 months. That was due to me being concerned, and thinking the plant was mine. Just something to think about if you really want to be the, go to guy. Good luck

So she needs a new room mate

Ya baby. Going to blow up the toon and white water down Essa rd Hill. It,s pouring buckets.

Im always up early and on the water just at light John. Get my fix in while I can.

It,s all around us here Joe. Thunder bangers,heavy rain. I walked from the truck to the house. Soaked right through. That rain was cold to. Shivered me timber.

Now thats, an OFFICE desk. LOL Looking forward to more reports BOSS.

Sweet fish bud. Thats a good,n.

Have you tried jigging for them? Soft plastic baits on a jig head. Dead stick it and wait for the mark going for the bait. Then start reeling up once it,s very close. On Simcoe, it,s the chase game. Works well.

Rog, buy a new tank. Their not expensive, and you have no other worries. Thats what I would do anyways. For the price of a new one, it,s not worth the effort of goofing around with it. Also the new ones have a clear line on the side to see how much gas is in it.

NEED TO PUT A CHARTER DECAL ON YOUR BOAT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Do you do Kosher Bruce ? Im not much of a dill / garlic guy. Strubs are my fav.

PM sent John

Not sure how I got to holding my ice rods that way. Might be related to the way I hold my pin,fishing the river. Might even be cuz It feel right to me. I have tried to hold it "normal ", if there is a normal way to hold. LOL

Thanks guys for all the input. I was going to take a vid this morning of flicking the fly rod on the toon ( took a half hour from jigging for lakers and whities to see how it worked out ), but battery power was nil. I can say I am happy with my uni clinch knot on the main to leader, and my double uni from leader to tippit. Got away from the loop to loop. I was able to flick that line out with ease. Cant wait to get out with it again

Nice report, I hear the Leafs are looking to fill foursoms. Golf laffs golf
