That's an increadible fish man.

Congrets.

i just thought of one

 

"why do you think eating fish is do bad? you eat different sausages every night"

That's a good one. Funny stuf.

Might cause some issues with the whole harasement thing though.

I'll keep that one in my back pocket for the people that I know are eating lots of sausage at night!!

Can anyone tell me when the Carp complete their spawning. Specifically on Cooks Bay.

I would imagine it will rely on many factors. I just don't know what they are!

Any comments, or links to good articles would be great.

I want to learn more about these tanks.

Thanks,

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm not the type of person to back down when someone calls me a murdered, or questions my morals. With that in mind, I’m not the type of person to bash this lady for having strong feelings about animal rights. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

You all have given me some good (some hilarious) comments to use when she questions me about my hobbies.

I’ll be sure to throw some of these her way the next time we get talking about the subject.

Thanks Again!

Good idea about the fishing magazines.

Now you have to get the little floresent postet notes, and start marking pages with good vactioning spots, and gift ideas.

If that's not obvious, I don't know what it.

Funny!.. Never herd that before.

I have a co-worker who is always riding me about hunting. You know, killing Bamby, and Daffy Duck. She is always trying to make me out as a horrible person for what I do. This isn’t anything new though, there is lots of people who are vocally against hunters, and I’ve learned to deal with that.

I thought she was only like this with regards to hunting. However, she is now starting to trash talk fisherman/woman for killing and eating fish. (she doesn't eat fish herself)

I have a large repertoire to defend myself against anti hunters. But I have never had to defend myself from someone who doesn't agree with fishing, and the act of cleaning, and eating a fish. (Which has been a part of my life since I could hold a fishing rod)

I need some good responses to tell her, and I can't think of any good ones.

There's lots of summer left, and I'm going to have to deal with this every time I talk about fishing in the office.

I don't want to offend anyone in the office, but I do need some good ammo to protect myself from the anti-fishing people that are trying to turn a good thing, into a debate on morals.

Any good ideas??

Yikes,

Thanks for all the cool pics guys.

I'm going to be a little more carfull now that i've seen all of these pics.

Don't want to waste good fishing time sitting in the ER.

At the beginning of the year when the water level was real high, I could launch and still have my front tires on the asphalt!

No worries about spinning out then.

It's a little different with a 14' tinner though.

The free launch at the end of 89 can be fun.

I launch there all the time in my volkswagon golf + 14 tinny, and have never come close to getting stuck. But I've seen guys backing empy trailers in to pick up their boats, and they get stuck on the way into the water (even in 4 wheel drive). They couldn't even get the trailer in far enought to pull the boat out.

You really have to watch it their. It's super soft this year for some reason. Wasn't like that last fall when I started using the launch.

I've been skunked every time out for pike this year on Simcoe. Can't figure em out.

I personally prefer to use a nickname. I find humor in it.

Like others have mentioned, posting pictures of your self is just like using your real name. A picture says a thousand words right.

I think there's a foot ball league out there that you can have a nickname on your jersy, rather then your real name (maybe not any more).

I guess it's "fun" to give yourself a cool nickname rather then your real name.

Either way, I think the choice should be up to the user. If the policies where changed, and we were "forced" to use our real name, I would comply.

10Lb is small for a carp.

Imagine what a 40lb'er would have done to your tension.

There's not much you can do with big fish, and light line, other then keep holdin on, and let them tire out.

If your going to try to hand bomb the line, then you have to let some line out as the fish pulls. If you just hang onto the line, and don't release some line as the fish pulls, then you're gunna snap it for sure.

Personally, I wouldn't be hand bombing 6lb line if there's a big fish on the other end. Let the equipment do the work for you.

Wherever you decide to place your components, make sure there is some way to mount your battery so that it won't flip over. Some bateries leak when flipped over, and they're all heavy enough to cause damage to your gear.

I broke my favorite rod this year becuase I didn't strap down the battery (in a rush to hit the water). The bat. bounced off the shelf it was sitting on, and landed on my rod. SNAP!!

I personally run my bat. up in the nose of my boat, and the tank in the rear, both on the port size. Every boat is a little different, depending on style, motor size, ballance, etc..

You'll find something that works for you. Then strap er down!!

So many different opinions out there eh.

Keep the song every morning! The kids need it.

I was pretty steamed when I first heard about this issue a few months back.

I've never caught a minnow before.

I was ice fishing last winter, and caught someones line that they had left down over night (night lining!) Had a 12 Lb Laker on it, that was swimming in circles under the hole. He eventually pulled enough line out, and got tangled around my line.

Free fish. Gotta love it.

wow,

That's pretty impressive

Simcoe's been great this year for Lakers and Whities.

Very nice fish you've caught there!

I run a Symetre on my Wally rod. Works great. I'm sure the Tierra will too.

Good luck.

It's an ever changing environment out there.

Things are never going to stop changing.

There's not a whole lot we can do to stop it. (I'm not saying there's nothing we can do to help this situation)

Might as well enjoy whatever aspects of it as we can.

Example: I love shooting carp in Simcoe. I don't like the fact that they destroy habitat for other native species. Me shooting a few carp each year isn't going to lower the number enough to make a difference. BUT, I still love shooting them!

Thanks for the pics,

Nice big gators!

BPS has always accepted my returns with no issues.

Even if they're not BPS house brands, they usually are good for returns.

Sounds like an obvious MFG defect.

Take er back, and get a new one.

Increadible pictures.

That's inspiring me to dust off the SLR, and bring it with me on some fishing trips.

Thanks,,

Congrets,

I've only witnesses an Ace on a par 3 coarse, on a 140 yard hole. I don't think those should count as a true hole in one. You have 18 chances to get an Ace, all in one game.

That's good stuf.

I wonder where the rich guy spent the night??

Probly with the hooker!

I also have had this problem, However, mine would stall out only in reverse, and run fine in neutral, and forward.

I found it was gunk in the carb caused by a degrading diaphram. The rubber diaphram was falling apart, and little chunks of rubber where flowing into the carb, causing me nightmares.

Probly not the case if it's a 1999 model.

Be carefull when adjusting the carb settings. 1/4 turns at a time, and count them as you go so you can get back to the same point you started at if need be. I've tried adjusting carbs before, and just made things worse. If there's something jammed in your carb, adjusting things may bandaide fix the problem, but will not solve it. Running the motor with a bandaide fix can cause big problems down the road.
