Always a day to bring back very fond memories of my father and all the others that fought for our freedom. He rarely spoke of military action, but spoke a great deal of the people he met throughout his time in WW2. Lest We Forget!

I watched the ticat game. I wouldn't get too excited about their grey cup chances. Isn't this hockey thread? The Leafs beat up the Senioritas once again! YES

Lake Reedy Cottages Frostproof Florida 1-863-635-2793 I fished this lake a few times when I was down there. Mainly from shore and had some success. There are many lakes around this area that look amazing. I saw this cottage resort beside the public launch ramp and it didn't look too bad. Don't the Martin's have a resort on the Big O?

Fuel is cheap! LOL

I would actually want to check the work to make sure everything was done properly. I remember one year bringing in my outboard to be winterized (I usually did it myself). I paid for the work that they said was done (felt I was over charged), which included changing a prop shaft seal. Put it on my boat in the spring and the lower end blew a month later because they didn't put oil in it. I had no way to prove it, but......... Definitely learn to do it yourself, it's easier than you think. Went to another marina to see how much to fix, they quoted $2000, which was more than the motor was worth at the time. I looked around a little and found a lower unit for $250 and replaced the seized (I mean seized LOL) unit myself. I don't want to offend any marine mechanics on here, but I have never had a good experience in this field. Not including all the horror stories that I have heard over the years.

As others have stated, no need to apologize Cliff. We do live in a free country after all. We all have views and different opinions and they can be voiced as long as we are not hurtful to others. The responses to any opinions can only help all of us. My thoughts are with you and your family as you deal with the challenges of life.

The guys that sit up on the bow extension and spear the tuna in open water are crazy. That's one way to cut out the cost of rod, reel, line and bait!

Ideally, they are trying to increase the tax base so I can retire with CPP! LOL

It has a head like a steelie. You're a beast!!!! That's an awesome fish.

What's up with Bolland? So many thought the Leafs made a mistake not signing him. 0 points so far.

I was okay with their play considering there are a couple of leaf killers on that team. Gionta and Moulson.

He should be sharing after all the advice that was given to him on this thread! LOL Maybe a meet and greet in the bush.

That's a beauty!

I don't think anyone is jumping on bowslayer101. He is always providing content to this and other sites and seems to have big shoulders! Most just don't want him getting in hot water. Those are some great looking fish and I hope he has his own honey hole.

They have signs here in Lindsay, but there are usually dates put on them in the spring.

I would heed the advice of BillM. I don't see any exceptions for creeks or rivers in FMZ 15. I think most here don't want to see you in any hot water.

Regs are pretty clear for the dam in coby. You can fish there until the end of November 15th and can't fish there again until the Friday after the second Saturday in May.

It's probably a sign for the spring. Dams open after the initial opening of the second Saturday in May and are considered sanctuaries. Probably best to do as Sinker says.

I admire your adventurism! Not sure if that is a word. LOL

Hats off to you Bernie.......I don't know if I could do that, even with feeling the way I do about my job. Sad to me that us older (shhhh) guys near retirement have to think about leaving home to make enough to retire comfortably or find a job period.

What a society we live in when you can make more by begging!

I don't say this lightly, but the shooter was dealt with appropriately, as should the remaining ones. What a cowardly act to shoot someone that is not expecting to be attacked. Sure sounds like ISIS, but will wait for confirmation.

It's my dream to go south before I'm 65 Cliff. It's getting tougher all the time to stick to plans that were made years ago.

I would suggest continuing to donate to the United Way. Your donation stays local and assists many individuals. One in four people access a United Way funded program in your area Cliff. No reason to feel bad about those that beg on the side of the road. They know that there is a way to access assistance if they need it; they choose not to go that route for whatever reason. Food banks are also the way to help in your community as you have said. Take the safe route to help out and feel good about that. I know the people that access the United Way funded programs sure appreciate the assistance when required. I personally never give to those begging on the side of the road.

I love the look of the muskie from that lake if I'm guessing correctly. Their bar pattern is so much nicer.
