misfish

Well I tried that hold Dave,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Very uncomfortable,for me anyways. I,ll stick with my palm hold for now. When I fish with someone with an off set seat,I,ll try it to see if I like it or not. While I was holding the rod,I can see where the term,center pin claw,came from. LOL

Glad Im not the only one with his mind in the gutter. :rofl2: Nice fish

Why was Ron trolling so close to the prop? LOL J/K Spend the bill,and get it done right. Peace of mind. Are you sure the fill holes are sealed/tighen, properly?

Oh come on,he,s just a pup still,let him dream.LOL

There was a pink caught in the Notty last fall. Huge fish. It,s said,they run a different trib every few years

Awesome Rich. There was a pink caught in the Notty last fall. Huge fish. It,s said,they run a different trib every few years. Real nice fish. Im hitting a small trib after the notty sunday ,in search of some fall spawning browns.

:good:

He must like it J. He,s having a nap in it with mrs,s B.

The mrs,s bought it,so,go with the flow.

Zoey is beautiful Mike. Great trip with the boy and Doug.

Got him his blue/white today.LOL

Thanks Roy. Nice boat(but I dought my Avenger could haul it)LOL,but I dont know if I would bash mine up on a chance.

Nope,cooked perfect,and if the toast was burnt,it was a well done breakfast.

it will show,who are the men,and who are the crazies. Whats first place? Is it worth the run? Time will tell.

...Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played Amazing Grace, the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothing like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years." Apparently I'm still lost....it's a man thing.

Yes you are correct. Once the trib keeper,s clicker hits a number,the gates are closed, and they move on north,to the next trib.Where another trib keeper is waiting. Once that trib has reached it,s count,the gate is closed,and off they swim to the next. By the time they get to the Big Head,they are dead tired.

If the bowling alley yer talking about was the one I was at for the tackle swap,they aint pool tables. How about a legion or Army Navy? Is there one in Hamilton?

Maybe the Argos should get the Bills as their farm team.

Wasnt able to see the pic earlier Dave. Man that looks uncomfortable,but will try it. I like the way the butt of the handle is supported by the forearm. Ya that,s pretty much the way I am,but lay most of the back on my palm.

If I get a new reel,I will try this foam/cork, on the sst2,as it is the bigger and older of the two I have,and use it for the cold winter months. Thanks guys.

Who in these days,can offord to strike

Ok, you lost me,,,,,,,,, I have sliding rings. Im still trying to find the sweet spot,for a fixed seat.Once I do,I,ll be having one made.

Great info Mike. Although mine are not in that price range,I still couldnt put a cork backing,or even a tape backing.Why waste the re sale value.IMO Plus I like the bling bling. Lets hook up soon. Here or down your way. Your pin is what got me asking this question. Did you get the sand out of it? Bill,I,m still trying to stop drooling from that new pin you showed me.Dang,that,s a sweet pin. Lets get out, and you can give me some advanced pointers.

Dave,Im no where near these guys that have been doing it for years. Thats the reason for the question. No Mike I have not. Looking at one,I thought it would be more comfortable to use. Kind of like a spinning reel,sorta a speak.Thanks for the offering. A spacer,I can have made up in the shop here. Might be the way to go,to see if I like that extra space. That,s one thing I find with me. The finger I use to control the spin and for hookset,had a nail go through it when I was younger. It,s a killer in the cold. Functionally? Why is that Chris?

October/November.
