I have 2 that I rely heavily on for backpack fishing. The 4 1/2 "ultralight" and a 6'6". 10 years and still unbeaten. If you go traipsing through the bush and working the banks, fancy just won't last. Definitely not a finesse rod

Hit a pond yesterday in hopes of some pre front fishing.. Wrong! The east wind gave the fish lockjaw long before we got there. 3 hours with only 3 soso perch and an OOS bass for our troubles. One of our party gets to wear yet another white stripe

I think cranky pants needs a timeout

Good to see folks gettin some despite the weather.

Beat me to it

Yup, we've done the plug thing twice. Each time it was aQuestion of who forgot to do what. YOu know the argument. "MY job?! I thought you were looking after it!" The strap thing too. Son tried revving the boat in full reverse a couple of minutes before realizing the straps were still on. Another case of being in a hurry and forgetting to follow the checklist.

And I try to do the same for my daughter now. She dreads introducing her boyfriends to me. Don't know why Just because they gets a little edumacating while I sharpen my blades.

I tried the 16 year olds. Unfortunately their daddies all had well oiled shotguns back then

The Mrs. and I were planning on going, but she still has not shown much improvement to date. Back to maybe next year

MacGyver strikes again. Good result.

A good way to spend your day

You may not be able to find the crappie but you sure have the bass dialed in. Well done.

Didn't we do the exact same thing this time last year.

Cell phone i no different than a land line, and as 30%+ of all ph#s are cell phones, that is a huge market to tap. Get used to blanket call networks.

With the weekend being written off, I grabbed the dogs and the gear and headed to the pond. At least I got 3 hours in. Not the most exciting morning, but not dead either. Random samples: Certaily beats staring at 4 walls and a puter screen. Once the rains started the bite totally shut down.

Here is a link for the Ontario Records list. Apparently maintained by the OFAH? http://www.notjustfishing.com/Fishing/records.shtml

That or the Minden town dump off 35

The vet bill is part of that cost.Hamilton charged me $325 for Lucky. I also dislike the questionnaire. I do know that some humane societies will descriminate against hunters. The Lincoln Humane society, which had close ties to the Toronto H.S., has specifically declined membership and refused adoption to those who are active members of local hunting and fishing clubs.

Guess I was spoiled. I could not begin to single out a day, or 2, or 3, that stand out from my childhood. Summers and weekends were an endless progression of fishing days, with a few special vacation trips thrown for interest. First really memorable experience I was in my late teens. My cousin, 2 friends, and I spent 2 weeks canoeing and fishing through the Muskokas and backwater routes. What a blast. We didn't have a lot of gear. Didn't pack and carry a lot of food. We sure did eat a lot of fish. Didn't even think to bring a camera back then. It was just so beautiful and a lot more peaceful than it is now.

Despite the forecast, the son insists we baptise his boat tomorrow. Time for the Mustang suit and a thermos of something hot.

T'aint nothin better.

See what happens when the kids find uncle Joe's still Get lickered up and go crazy.

You need to breath the same air to understand You could get so........mellow at a concert

Looks like some serious lack of hull integrity. Get a lawyer and keep hounding TC. IF this hull problem is widespread, TC needs to pull their approval and stop sales of this class of hull.
