I plan on arriving on the Wednesday (have to leave Friday). Can't wait? Question: Do you guys use FRS radios up there? Do you have a channel you normally use (I usually use 7-24). Looking forward to seeing everyone!

What a great way to start my day! Great report and awesome pics. Way to go Ryan

Beauty job on the boat buddy. Been following your threads and nice to see it completed ontime as well. Get that prop fixed and enjoy the season.

Ken, I would tear the floor out and check and see if there has been any patch job like GCD suggested. If there is then I would be going after the previous owner (in small claims court if necessary). Take lots of pictures. If there is not, then I would be doing anything Wayne suggests. He did an amazing job on mine and knows what he's talking about.

That's awesome Dax. Are you bringing it to the swill Wednesday night? I've always said that Dave is a CLASS act.

Ken, Cast-Away is definitely right about Wayne (which we already discussed), but I'm not sure what he can do about that nasty 2 foot crack. The other place that was recommeded to me was Grumpy's Marine. He does all the warranty work for many of the manufacturers (that is where Mike's boat is right now). Whether Wayne can fix it or not, he can certainly give you excellent advice either way. Let's hope that its not as serious as it looks. Keep us posted.

I know its pinned at the top of the page, but sometimes people miss it. OFC Meet & Greet Wednesday Night (starting around 7:00 pm) Judge & Jester Restaurant 17 Main Street East Grimsby Judge & Jester map Hope to see you there!

It was great meeting you Brian and seeing you again Clive, a couple of CLASS act OFNers. It was a frustrating day out there for Pike. Had the new boat out twice now and yet to be slimed! The most fishing excitement was caused by some of the guys inadvertently catching a few OOS Largemouth, one approaching 6 Lbs! Why can't that happen during bass season???? Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

Mepps + Pike Tourney = Everybody else going for Second!! It would be great to see you out Mepps.

It'll be great to see you Brian. We're launching out of Old Cut Boat Livery. Our tournament is only Sunday morning. Evidently there is a big tournament running on Saturday. There is more information on this page. Sunday's Conditions We launch at 6:00 (or anytime after) and have to be back at the launch by noon. Don't forget your Toonie!

Our Canadian Toonie Tournament Series is Pike Fishing on Long Point this Sunday. OFNers are especially welcome! More info here Canadian Toonie Tounament Series Just remember to bring a Toonie and a smile.

Geez, sorry we're going to miss you Dawg. Was looking forward to having a good chinwag with you. I saw the posts on the other board about Pete. Very cool initiative.

Guaranteed great time! Can't wait to see your report.

Sweet unit Lew! I love it when old guys grasp onto new technology

All the best Gerritt, you'll be in my prayers today. Hope to see you at the Swill. It will be good therapy

A great lineup already! It will be good to see you again Joe. By the way I've got another boat for sale

Good Day Everyone. Based on the very positive feedback from the poll I posted, I would like to announce a Niagara area Swill. Wednesday, May 2 starting at 7:00 pm The Judge & Jester (formerly Winchester Arms) in downtown Grimsby. The restaurant has recently been taken over and totally renovated and is awesome. We held our Toonie Tournament Banquet in the back room a few weeks ago just after they opened and the room, service and food was excellent. Wednesday night is their 49 cent wing night and I have the rear room booked. Hope to see many of the regulars and some new faces as well as many who attend the Oakville Swills. If I can make it to Oakville, hopefully, some of you will head out to the Golden Horseshoe to lend your support. I also thought that this might provide another opportunity for our OFC Community to come together to show its support for young Chris or perhaps Pete's family from Pete's tackle. Looking for support and ideas. Please indicate if you plan to attend. Hope to see you there. Perhaps one of the mods would pin this thread. Map to Judge & Jester

Great shot Brian!!

Great report TJ. A good way to start the day.

I want to get my Grandkids up to Orillia to do some Perch fishing, but won't be able to make it until about May 20th. Is that too late?

Congratulations, I can only imagine your excitement! Beauty boat!

I think Big Cliff said it best. Celebrate and be thankful for the wonderful years you had with your Grandfather and also celebrate the wonderful years you've had with your good wife. With the current situation, I'm sure that it also helps to appreciate your wife and what she means that much more. You're a good man Brian and your Grandfather obviously had a very positive effect on your life and he is still very much here with you. You and your Grandfather are in my thoughts buddy.

I love the OFC label in the picture!! Quick thinking!

Good point SoloGill & Eastfisher, Think I'll pick up a few extra plugs for all boat orifices. Good thread Cliff, your bad experience could end up saving many of us.
