It will last at least 24 hours in the fridge ... and longer if the door is closed ... even longer if the power is on and the frige is functional.... Much less is you have teenagers and the fish has already been cooked

Awesome pics ! I cant wait to see te splake next week ... but be careful out there with the truck ... especially at this time of year when things are changing so quickly

Ya know Wayne, I can honestly say I have never associated Beaver fever with kissing fish ... but then again its probably all in the technique ... and who's

I prefer mon to braid (except on my Musky set-up) ... personal preference ... I like a little stretch ... and find it to be a little more limp (both qualities I need when fishing light line on BIG fish in clear water ... never really had trouble with hooksets because I use sharp hooks. BTW the easiest way to avoid twist (except when trolling a spinner - like MEPPS - when almost nothing works) is to adjust your drag properly ... I have seen more guys turning their crank with a too-loose drag and ending up wondeirng why their line is always twisted ... thats the single most common mistake I see out there. Anyhow .. mono definitely has its place ... mostly for finesse IMHO

Jeeze Wayne ... it could be the Scotch ... but I think I just saw 10,765 beside your post-count ... thats gotta hurt !

I just had to do it ... after seeing all the chrome being flashed shamelessly about ... so I went down to the freezer and sure enough there are still two 'vials' of the 'stuff' ... and it smells .... sweet ! So tomorrow early I am heading eastward (somewhere between Duffins and Shelter Valley - hopefully thats not too specific for anyone) to drift a few amongst the weekend warriors ... Send me a PM (before 5 am) if ya wanna hook up

Me too (mines on the bedroom wall at the foot of the bed) ... and I cant stop saying .. WOW ... look at that picture !!! Too bad the leafs wont be in the playoffs because the HD games are AWESOME on it. But dont cheap out .. get the HDMI cables (for the converter and the DVD) and get the HD PVR for your converter ... it makes ALOT of difference ...

I prefer brown roe

Fish crisp vs poached ... Musky ... even if its 'legal' left hand vs right hand retrieve cast vs troll All very legitimate grounds for discussion

OK ! Now I can start fishin again Do we have a date for the draw ?

Lead line 3 - 7 colours .. flutter spoon (Mooselix) ... I prefer white or silver ... in the summer May June or August/September ... any time of day ... on top in the morning/evening ... at the bottom/thermocline during the day ... SPECtacular time for me (big fish if not numbers) is around lunchtime ... DanC and I agree on that one for sure

Good topic ... I have at least a dozen times been standing in line behind someone taking a fit on the cashier for not asking for photo id - when it clearly says to do so on the back of their card .... I have NEVER heard a cashier ask for photo id (except for mine) - because my card is ALWAYS impossible to read after about a week ... either way I have yet to see someone be refused service - Id say the consumer is much better protected than the bank or the store in this instance so you can probably rest easy either way - but stay vigilant on your statements so you can mitigate the damages is something unpleasant does happen to you.

Just a suggestion ... do it at the 20" mark ... that way the math is ALOT easier ... and I suspect 68" is more than most of will need to be concerned about

Thanks all ! I appreciate the support .. and if it means anything to y'all ... I can honestly say it is because of a few OFC'ers that I went from not having the next cigarette last March 4th to ... not having another one since .... I hadnt really thought of quitting .. and I definitely didnt realize that the last cigarette I had was going to be my last ... but I made the (mistake) of mentioning it here when I returned home from driving my daughter to school when a bunch of you pounced on my poor unsuspecting soul with all this support and encouragement that I was literally embarrassed into carrying through with it ... and here I am over a year later ... and truly a believer in my self and the ability ( I never thought I had in me) to kick the beast ... so in a word .. Thanks !!!! You know who you are ! And for any of you thinking of giving it a try ... you have a family here who truly care and will support your efforts (when the time is right for you)... just let us know ... and believe ... because you DO have the power to do it. PS .. sorry CC I didnt realize I was smokin ya out

Thanks for sparing us the 'white whale' Glenn ... especially before breakfast Only two weeks till spring up here ... but we're preparing for another 10 - 20" of the nasty stuff tonight ....it is our problem now ... but remember ... when it melts it'll all be flowing south

Just thought I would share a story I am sure you'll hear more about over the next year about a young lad who has started on a courageous journey ... my daughter asked me to sponsor him ... makes you proud to be Canadian ! http://www.couragecanada.ca

Excellent .. thanks a lot Cliff ... now I got the steely bug .... and I havent even got the hardwater out of my system yet

Actually 366 days to be exact ... Since my last fix of the old pals (Players Light Regular)... still got a carton sitting on the stve (prbably a little stale now) ... just in case Just thought I'd share for those of you that keeps track of such things ... and for anyone considering it ... it was actually a LOT easier than I ever thought it would be ... I had never tried quitting before because I dont like to fail ... and wasnt too sure I would have what it takes to beat it ... but here we are and honestly glad I did it. My advice if you wanna do it ... just do it ... dont mess around with substitutes ... cold-ass-turkey all the way

TJ ... I could swear I saw a report about some pretty little specks on lake jiggy jiggy ... or maybe that was joggy joggy ... Anyhow ... pretty country up there for sure !!!

wow ! ... I mean ... WOW !!!! Been many years since I chased Pickerel on Simcoe with any success ... congrats ... and nice camera work Thanks for sharing

Holy mother-of-all-reports batman !!!! Great story Ramble awesome pics and sounds like a summer to remember forever ! Thanks for sharing !

Site could definitely use an facelift ... the store on the other hand is on my weekend rounds along with CT and Home Depot ... I consider it a part of my saturday (if Im not on the water) ... always friendly and often special order stuff I ask for ... follow up with calls to me when stuff comes in ... the BPS on the other hand have driven many miles only to find the catalogue special item I came for is sold out - try to sell me something else and no interest in getting to come back by special ordering for me ... to each his own ... but I have always thought LeB was THE fishing store for me and much more personal.

Geesh wayne .. that was 15yr old scotch I spit all over my keyboard ... what a waste

Wayta go Wayne ! Now ... if only you had the OFC logo and a tape measure in the pic we could use it for Team 7 inches !!!

Felt ALL the WAY for me ... and I like the fact they freeze to the ice ...that way you get traction in the cold when wet Nothing work well on slippery muddy shoreline anyways ... but nothing is as good as felt on slippery submerged rocks wading IMHO
