  1. I did 20 years full time on the steelhead creeks now just small stuff from time to time. If the young bucks don't step up I will let it die.

    But you still help out some 20 years later. As we get older it is harder to do what we once did, like dragging shopping carts, etc... out of creeks. We still can play a part. For me it usually means hauling out garbage from time to time, and participating at the club level.

  2. For those who feel the OFAH is worthless. A few questions.

     

    1) What alternative is there?

     

    2) Are you stepping up to start something better?

     

    3) Where are the funds coming from to aggressively lobby the province?

     

    4) If you are suggesting OFC carry the ball, are you suggesting that TJ do so out of his own pocket, or are you willing to pay a membership fee?

     

    Like they say, talk is cheap.

    Look at a lot of your local clubs. The average age of membership in many is 60+. I don't see many younger anglers swelling the ranks, but I hear lots of them demanding action. Active membership creates action. Passive members sit and wait for others to do things for them and get nothing. It is that simple.

    For those who claim " I did my part 20 and 30 years back", what have you done lately. You still use the resource and it is still in need. More so now that fewer are willing to volunteer and pitch in.

    As for the politicians and their minions at the MNR. If you want them to pay attention. Make them take notice. That means action. They may not like you, but they will not ignore you.

  3. ugli what one do you have? The wind thing and mobility is a big deterrent. I don't need a shelter if it's not windy out 95% of the time

    My son got me the HT Magnum 2 man for Christmas. Very roomy, but it is bulky and does weigh 80 lbs, hence the difficulty sliding it in and out of the mini van.

  4. Have to admit I'm liking my flip up, but there has to be someone with me to lift it in and out of the van.

    Cube just has so much more work to using it if you like being mobile. It's a real PITA to handle in high winds. I've seen a few go airborne the past couple of years.

  5. He is "euchred " if he answer that too :whistling:

     

    Nice fish btw.

    Eeeeeeewww!!!!

    Bad images of little old grannies at the seniors centre getting Bawdy :w00t:

    The things this website is doing to my mind lately with "well dressed guys", "stick close to me and you'll get some", etc.... :devil:

  6. Got out in the wind and snow yesterday to do some perching. Didn't bring the hut cuz it was calm when we went out. Big mistake. Couldn't see too far in front as the winds picked up.

    As usual, the bite turned on for the bad weather. I always find the fish to turn on as a front rolls through. Yesterday was no exception.

    Sorry for the late report, but the Mrs had me busy for the evening playing euchre.

  7. I won't say the OFAH is perfect. In fact there isn't an organization on the continent that hasn't suffered some measure of scandal and embarassment. Nor is there one that is lily white without at least one skeleton in it's closet. It's part of human nature. We aren't perfect, so how can anything we create be perfect.

  8. You sure it wasn't what you had for supper the night before, or early breakfast, Bruce...

    6 different people from 6 different offices, having the same item on the menu? And no, the 6 of us were not members of the "nicely dressed guy" fraternity.

    Besides the health inspectors confirmed the findings.

  9. Business lunch and meeting in T.O.

    The meal was their chicken dinner special. Service was prety good. Food was good. All but 3 of us had the chicken.

    3 hours into the meeting, the meeting was called on account of salmonella. We weren't paying the bill, they threatened to bill the company. We called the health inspector from the Emerg. Had to be about the worst 12 hours of my life

    Restaurant gone byebye.

  10. Been waiting for a chance to be fishing,It was a perfect day outside. Bluebird skies, no wind, decent ice, but the perch weren't so co-operative. Spent the day in the harbour waiting on some finicky fish. Even so we patiently dangled our baits down the hole and were rewarded. A lot of dinks, but still had enough decent volunteers for dinner.

    I have removed the seating in both my portable huts and take this chair. I am a tad heavier then you :whistling: ...with no problems so far. On it's third season.

     

    Beans and I also use the same chair for carp fishing in the summer. I know he has a few pictures of us sitting in them.

     

    Keep an eye on the Canadian Tire flyers if you are not in a big hurry. They always come on for $9.99

    I have the same thing in a Rasta pattern for dem good vibes. :D

  12. 15 cm... we call that a dusting up here Bruce !

    Unfortunately, a 1/4 of the drivers down here have only just recently experienced snow and don't know how to drive in it.

    Vehicles with low ground clearance weren't meant for winter driving either. That's what I get for letting wifey pick the vehicle.
