i forgot about this until I got an e-mail about it today. so, what's the scoop?

ok, i finally found a video that showed me how the flasher models work. Its a bit long, but around 6 mins in is a good display of seeing fish actually come up and hit a jig.

LMAO

backorder from a while ago? early x-mas?

I'll go ahead and second this... It will be my first season ice fishing (yay zone 17!), and I'm trying to absorb as much info as possible before jan 1. I suppose I could just use the google button on the old interweb machine, but where is the fun in that!

looks like it might have been scanned onto a truck at 10:39 last night. Should be there today, if not first thing tomorrow. Not sure if ups has a separate transfer facility in brantford or if the delivery truck would be coming from kitchener. what'd you order? any word on your busted rod?

nice job man, I'm totally jealous. I was on a river yesterday and it did not go well. Not. One. Bit. At least I didn't slip and fall in the mud again...

Greetings again Jocko. The courtesy is the least I can do. Thank you for your response. Your latest post has done the best job of explaining why you didn't like the inclusion of ethnicity in the survey. Yes you are correct, I do realize that you mean profiling in the negative sense. Surveys do nothing but provide raw data, the interpretation of which is completely up to the people who analyze it. You are again correct that someone could use ethnicity as you stated to draw conclusions about fishing attitudes or money spent by race. I would like to think that the ethnicity question is not going to be used in a negative context. Maybe this person just wants a profile of the fishing community (which by your argument would be inaccurate anyway due to a lack of response from insulted ethnic anglers, so no need to bring that point back.). I don't know, I didn't design the survey...maybe they do have bad intentions. Perhaps my perspective on the subject is skewed because I have never been discriminated against because of my race. Our experiences shape who we are after all. We will have to agree to disagree, as I have a bunch of tackle to sort out from disappointing steelhead outing yesterday. I look forward to your next fishing report.

Jocko, you are totally entitled to your opinion and we all respect that. And you are correct, surveys can be used to profile. In fact that is ALL they are used for. I had more typed out, but a guy on the internet obviously isn't going to change your perspective on this subject. Be sure to tell the 2011 census takers how offended you are with their questions: http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement...ncement-eng.cfm Best regards!

nice fish!

done btw, ethnicity IS a valid stat question in an anonymous survey. Just as valid as age,or gender or marital status. If a survey can't identify you, it can't discriminate against you. I am a little surprised that marital status wasn't on there (or maybe I just forgot). It would be interesting to see the relationship between say times you fish a year vs single or attached.

some days that's a good thing

thanks for the post. lokss like i'll be spending winter weekends on the hardwater of clear lake.

i weant through the carstar in waterloo when my last car got cracked up. they did a good job, and were the preferred garage of my insurance company. hope it helps.

i sympathize. If i get out this week, im foregoing the floats and getting back to what i know...throwing hardware. Picked up a pink/black flatfish I'm going to try out. And by try out I mean snag and lose on a rock.

what's going on in the picture right above the dinners head?

one last vote from me. good luck to your friend.

another vote! mbosh1980

sweet, congrats!

nice fishes!

thanks for the heads up. sadly, i blew my reel budget earlier this week. out of curiosity, was the pete maina reel the round one or low profile?

i hear tubes are the ticket!

and they probably aren't using it in the hindu/ buddhist way either.

i see i'm not the only one to open up a new reel this week before consulting the manual.
