nice shootin ...last time i was going up to Shouldice i was eyeing that lake up ...i thought there wasnt any motors allowed on it though ..im now wiser ...

welcome aboard ...great way to introduce yourself ...complete with pics... Good on ya

Thats it!!!!! that right there is the reason i wanted a "daddys little girl"....i am soooooo jealous!!!! Man did you just yank my heart strings right out of the cold concrete case i keep it in ... Many years from now when its her time to marry....her hubby better have some pretty big waders ...to fill her daddys Cheers Ryan ..your setting the "bar" very high

Nice shootin !!!!!! one of my buddies won one of the days ..i think he was only 18 pounds too...what was the derby winning fish size this year....im so busy right now i couldnt even sneak in a day on the sound.. Congrates on the win ...cheers

Ride that adventure wave with aggression...but have a safe journey... Say hi to Sarah Palin

Lake Huron is a boiling cauldron of KAOS....the beaches have all but disappeared...

its yet to be seen what this weather will bring to the fall feedbag...but i can tell you with the warming water temps its made it so that the pickeral have had a much bigger playing ground on Lake Huron...EVEN I managed to catch one on a salmon lure...( and it tasted just as i remembered)....

Dave i just seen a sale on Delta scroll saws at homehardware...reg price was 129.00 and it was on sale for 69 bucks...thats only 29 dollars more than beer ...and you would have it at your disposal as required... just a thought

Congratulations on the effort of the win ....you deserve it ....BIG TIME!!! Now all you have to do ...is learn to walk on solid ground again ...lol...vertigo for a week...lol... Nice shootin

The riggers or the bikinis???? seems to me there was lots of room for the riggers...but hardly any room for the bikinis...lol..

downrigger or dipsy thermometer to find temp (55 degrees) then a motor to troll 2.5 MPH or ...a whole lotta redbull to paddle that fast good luck...

well you know what they say ..."NO RIGGERS >>>>NO RODS" guys with big boats like that are making up for short commings in other areas...lol.... i dont seem a bit jealous do i ???

Rick -good for you for your efforts... Gerrit - you is da man for stepping up to the plate Having said this...im giving away my wifes cats...two of them ...anyone want them ...lol...just kidding

i would support going back to Rice if Suzie Sunshine was no longetr a member of RLTA and her super loud boat was not anywhere near the derby for its duration... Ron your a better man then me to forgive so easily and even promote for these cowboys (no offense to any real cowboys) ...its STILL going to be many years before a single dollar of mine gets spent in that area...

what a waste of money ....that big boat didnt have one downrigger on it that i could see...

bricknblock..good on ya ...and to take the issue of the landing at the bottom of the stairs a bit further ...if you install a 30 inch door at the bottom of the stairs to enter the house your landing will have to be double the width of the door...in this case 60 inches...now that you know this you might want to reconsider the direction of the stairs....running along the wall will mean your treads are going to be 60 inches wide as well....now if you run from the yard to the opening ...you can still get away with 48 inch stairs and acheive a long landing to accomadate the size of the door 30 inch ( 60inch landing) then start your calculation for the treads as Bricknblock stated...i used a 30 inch door in this case ...but i reccomend minimum a 34 door 68 in Landing if you run the treads along the foundation (think of someone trying to manouver a couch etc through the opening ) ...keep in mind ...you will have to have a handrail going down the opening If you run your descent from the yard straight down to the door you will have to put up Ballasters and a rail to accomadate code (42 inches) on both sides to keep the wee ones from falling in and getting hurt and a hand rail going down Cheers

Ive done a few of them ....back in the day you could get away with alot ...but nowadays ...youll need to get an engineered print before they will issue a permit...you used to be able to draw it out on paper yourself ...but since you are structurally changing the foundation ...youll need a BIN stamp and signature..

heres a weird fishing experience of another kind

Brandon...you are living the dream of the passion ...i for one appreciate it ...and thanks for sharing your perceptions with us ...hats off to ya man ...it was my dream when i was younger to do what you are doing ..but unfortunately...i got swayed away from the sceneries/wildlife/abstracts and into portfolios and wedding crap... Keep up the good work ! Although i dont comment on all of your shots i never hesitate to click on any post you submit to OFC Thanks again particularly fond of the third one ....

your either getting shorter or the sign is getting taller...

im a foodsaver kinda guy too...i like to smoke my fish and then run it through the foodsaver in PARTY size packages...when the boys are over ...break out the smoked fish and bevies of choice... i also bought the containers for the foodsaver for storing my spawn ...works awsome!

in my youth i was messin around with a gal that looked like Elvira Queen of the Darkness and caught crabs ...

My condolences as well Ron...keep him proud by staying the course...

Voted... very well written and a fantastic perception Good Luck in the contest but Luck has nothing to do with her perception ....she has already won! Cheers
