Rattletrap2

Thanks everyone! Yep, I hit the big 50 on Wednesday Mr.B....so I guess "ole Guy" really fits now! LOL My girls are doing a lot to keep this on top and you all are helping out tremendously! I slipped back to 6th, but am now slightly into 4th. Sarah, my oldest, is the one that started this and would like to post a t least a pic or two to the entry, but cannot see where to do it. There ain't gonna be no bikinis (at least not with me in it!!) but something might be better than nothing?

Just bumping this up. Thanks for all your support, and we need all the votes we can get between now and the end of July.

Thanks Spiel! The girl in #1 spot went on live radio in Napanee this morning.

Beautiful Bass there! Nice going!

IN 4th place now! 2944! Thanks for all you are doing ceceri!

2729 tonight!

Thanks Paul! Everyone who has an e-mail address can vote. hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc.

It would come down to personal preference. Just make sure it is roomy under the arms (vest style) and Transport Canada approved. I like the ones that are mesh backed for summer weather to help stay cool.

What a wonderful post Splashhopper! Makes us all want to stop for a minute or so and think. The first picture with Botbot and her friend with her first fish is priceless and brings a huge smile to my face as well!!! That is one photo they will want to reflect back on in years to come. Thanks for posting the report.

2514 and still holding in 5th place! Thanks everyone!

Good job folks! Joey, I see you are already hard at work this morning? Same here!

Thanks everyone! 5th spot! 2251 votes as of this morning We gotta keep at it till July 31st. Please vote as often as you can.

Those are all beautiful LargeMouth! Must be nice to be able to bike to a spot with that kind of action. Next time you are buying baits, try pink bubblegum coloured Senko's! You will be surprised! Rigged wacky style, they are amazing!

hmmmmmm....that chicken ain't right. Gross! That fifth photo of the chicken like substance looks like something you might pull out of yer grill the day after a long night of driving!

Wayne, I am so sorry to read this and hear of your sister's passing. What a terrible shame to go so young. I am 49 myself for a few more days and can't imagine something like this happening at this age. You have my deepest condolences. Brian

Fantastic Joey! Thanks a lot!

Sure sounds like both Bernie and DanD know their way around vehicles! I love to see people who really know their stuff, and can explain it in such detail! Way to go guys! Bernie, have you ever thought about franchising yourself down here so those of us in the South could benefit from your skills? Sure would be nice to have someone like you close by!

This guy sounds really, really good to me! Great exposure for him and his band, .....not so good for United. Too bad things have to come to this point before they come good on their mistakes! I never could understand how any airline could treat passengers luggage this way when the passengers are sitting on the plane WATCHING! Imagine what they do when we can't see them? I have witnessed this behaviour several times myself on different airlines.

Yes, truly a sad time when someone so young is just starting out to serve us all, and is shut down way too early! My condolences to all the families involved.

The big pond visible from the road at Ken Whillans park has trout as well. There is a second pond set back a bit to the South that has Bass. Good luck!

Yep, Both Minn kota and Motorguide make good products. I am partial to Minn Kota because it is what I have always had. Parts and service are readily available. I have a 65# thrust, 24 volt cable steer model that is great! The boat is an older fiberglass bass boat that is a pig by weight! It is very rugged and dependable. It has the variable speed option that maximizes battery life. This is a good feature on either brand.

Sorry, but the details about the park at Rice Lake are a little vague to nail it down. There is a Provincial Park there called Serpent Mounds? Lake Dalrymple is just outside of Orillia (East) and there is a bridge between the Upper and Lower Lakes that you could fish at. Unfortunately, public access is diminishing these days. There is also a public fishing pier at Couchiching Beach park in Orillia. Could be crowded though. I believe there are docks at Barrie in Kempenfelt Bay, but not sure if they allow fishing there. Others will probably know.

Thanks everyone! My Daughter's and particularly one of their Boyfriends, are going nuts with this thing! The numbers are staggering and I need all the votes I can get to stay in the top 10! keep up the good work and we will show them the power of OFC!

I'm thinking about 5 spinning combos and 7 baitcasting combos. There are others, but those are in regular use most years. Like BackBay, I have my Dad's spinning combo mounted on the wall! That one is special.

Just bumping this up! We are in 8th place, so there is a chance to stay in the top 10 with your help! Thanks!
