Be warned tho, that 30 lb stuff is scary strong. My Pa hooked a little cleo very well into a sunken log just out of reach of paddle last week. After all attempts to dislodge the hook failed, he wrapped four or five turns around the fish bonker and leaned into it. He guessed that the line parted at about 50 lbs of pull, but not at the palomar knot. The line failed where it was wrapped around the bonker.

Happy Birthday, Joanne. You have plenty to celebrate. Hope you have a great day!

Comin' up. Gotta look after the little momma today, hope to find some time shortly.

Thanks for your report and pics. Fresh trout in the park are the sweetest.

Brando, Welcome, and Congrats on post #1. Hope the whole posting hurdle wasn't too tuff fer ya.

Allus enjoy critical posts from newbies to the board. We hope you enjoy your stay, however brief it may be (no laws broken, myob, etc.)

All the best elsewhere. C yA.

Just think, you coulda been a contender. Ask Stella.

Happy BD, you ole plumma, you.

I think that Roy is talking about Crack Spackle, the Plumma's Friend.

Pretty darn sure that a little lotion before application of the crack spackle would assist ( ! ) with the removal. Good luck with all of that.

Yukon, Whitehorse pacifically.

Thx, CornNug. I am glad that youse had a great trip, with some fine fish, scenery, and camaraderie too. Great report. Mine is forthcoming, I guess.

Hmmmm.

Some are fussy around here, and require a fancy intro complete with data, location, stats, gender, target species, gps coords, and pictures.

Others just like the photos.

Your first post was not really spam, since it was only the once. Commercial? Maybe, but no real indication. Very nice wallies, regardless. Good shootin' and props to the Captain.

We are all looking forward to your next post.

TREMENDOUS REPORT! Sry, that was loud.

That was very enjoyable, Jen. Congrats on your fish and thanks for the pictures.

A very pretty fish. Thanks and congratulations.

You see the pope too? That's great, I thought I was nuts. That's a huge relief right there.

On the other hand, I'm a very, very lucky guy and fortunate too. This is all because my wife pretty much sorta sees the pope in the photo also.

You gotta count your blessings.

All right, now where is the Grandpa who wondered how to entertain his daughter's 12 year old boy? That would do 'er fer sure.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. No boob jokes, I noticed,

You're just making that stuff up. Everyone knows they only work at night.

That should just about cover it, Wayne. A good refresher for me since I will have some pictures to post shortly.

Some hosts use an object id that has = in the url. Rick doesn't like that, as it permits the host to change the content. I'm not sure of the jargon, but I think that's the gist of it.

Me, that's no contest. You, on the other hand, that says something.

My Pa is 74 and mebbe if I sneak up behind him and get a shot in, I could take him.

Dang, that's one handsome family, Brian. Great fish pics too.

Congratulations to you, camillj. How should I be pronouncing your handle anyway?

KMB, that stuff was for the lakers. For the specks, try casting shoreline around downed timber with a small worm-tipped spinner or a two inch stickbait.

A yellow shafted flicker, pretty darn sure. Nice lookin' burd, really big beak tho.

Me 2, four more sleeps.

You will either be dragging a spoon or stickbait behind your canoe, using an inline weight or three way dropper to target the 5 - 15 ft depths. Use a long line behind you, 30 or 40 meters at least.

A sonar unit would let you find deeper fish, which you can fool with a jig and grub.

Good Luck to you on your trip.

Some post from the gallery / host to the forum, others upload directly to the board. 'Sup to you.

Welcome to Rob, it sounds like you will be a welcome addition around here. The photographers who can also write like Moosebunk, Mr. Hoffman, JP Bushey, and others really help to make this a special place. I'm looking forward to counting you among them.

There's a FAQ link around here somewhere to help you with the settlin' in.

It's a new website, I know, but I think it's strange that they are pitching their products to the esox fans but the gallery shows only some fine lookin salvelinuses.
