Thats just my thighs, I keep a very trim bikini line actually.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback guys! I just finished my first day doing other stuff around the camp. Installed new fishfinders on 7 boats and then showed the owner how to hook up his new boat for 24v. He shorted the wires while I was off doing other stuff, I pulled the cowling on the 90hp yammie and found a blown fuse, he did not have a spare fuse so I borrowed one from my truck, she fired up, I impressed myself....lol, he was delighted....so far so good. He told me when I left I could make my own schedule for odd job hours and just turn up...works for me....and I have 6 days guiding booked already, goodbye family....was nice knowing you, see you in November after guiding for birds.

I’ll be using his boats, I’m an employee. If they want me to guide in their boat they drive.

I have given this a lot of thought. Like in any walk of life you meet people with bad attitudes, in most cases you can walk away, not possible when you are stuck in a boat with them for six hours. I think I have the skill set to cope with that though, for the last twenty years I have been working with some very angry and hostile clients in various roles from the probation service, housing serious offenders, child and family services, addictions counsel or and most recently intellectual and physical disabilities, only time will tell.

I spoke to him about it yesterday and I was assured I’m covered under the camp’s insurance. I asked about my liability if I damage equipment, i.e. bottom ends etc. He said if I damage the boat while out with clients they pay for it and are made aware of this beforehand, they have the choice to let me drive or drive themselves, Wabigoon is full of hazards, I’ve found out the hard way a couple of times, even with that I would say that if they don’t boat often they might want to let me drive.... lol.

What about this then....better? Thanks. all 3....lol. he actually asked if I could come at work the odd day in the camp. He wanted to know how I was with engines and stuff...lol...I told him I can just about winterize an outboard and that's it. He asked how I was with techy stuff and I said ok, going in on Friday for the day to install his new fish finders. Problem is it does not pay much and I said because of this I wont be doing much of that, getting paid less than my regular job on my days off to go fishing is one thing, getting paid less on my days off to lug firewood, clean up and the like with no prospect of a tip in $US.....not so much. One cool thing is he wants me to do a bunch of day trips to cache lakes and other places, I get to use his cache boats to go and scout out the lakes and find the honey holes, he has a couple of boats on lakes I already fish from shore and do well, should be able to kill 'em in a boat and then take clients there and put them on some awesome fishing. ?

I was thinking of turning up dressed like this...................... All joking aside, I respect his beliefs and will accommodate as I always do. I just had another meeting with him and his wife, seem like really nice people just making a living like everyone else. Might work really well considering I can throw a stone and hit their dock from my house, and if he fires me thats what i'll be doing on the daily.....lol.

I used to catch roach all the time in England and France, hard to tell the difference between a roach and a rudd, roach tended to be smaller and more silver, but a big roach can look very much like the one you are holding, but i'd say if rudd are already in that waterbody thats what you got there. Dead or live roach are a favourite pike bait in Europe.

Thanks! Good question, will make sure he is, I aint paying for a bottom end or getting sued for hospital fees.

This should be interesting. Its the camp in the same bay as me, owner seems nice enough, bit on the religious side for my taste, be we had a frank discussion, he said he does not like swearing or smoking, lo....which I do in abundance, I said I will watch my Ps & Qs just like I do on my videos (which is how he found me) and I will be discreet with the smoking, although that gives me another incentive to quit by opener. I told him I won't swear but i'm a straight shooter and don't take....I hesitated at that point an stopped my self saying 'b... s...." and just said Bull....lol, he smiled and said he thinks we can work together....lol. A lot of families and it should fit with my PT schedule. Did a few gigs last year, and do it almost weekly when I take my work clients out, be interesting to see how I like it. Wants me to do day trips to backwater lakes too...sounds fun as long as nobody gets hurt or stuff breaks....but ...all part of the adventure in my eyes. Like I said, interesting summer ahead....

She was impressed by the girth of my hose.

Just for the record, I don't see her being a woman having anything to do with her dim wittedness, dummer observations and statements are made by blonde men regularly...just listen to Doug Ford for 2 seconds and you will see what I mean......lololol.

She can't remember it..lololol.

blonde.

So.... At work yesterday and I meet a co-worker in the parking lot. I have just put my pressure washer in the bed of my truck and as she passes she says, "oooooh, that washer looks different, is it a special kind?" I replied "no, I don't think so", she says, "maybe its just the handle, it looks different", I say......."maybe, but as far as I know it is just a regular gas pressure washer", she then says, "oh, thats probably why it looks different, we have a water one".........lost for words I just smiled politely and carried on.

I had the same problem last year when I upgraded, the decision was made easy, as you mentioned they only have the 60" in the 80lb version, I was still anxious though that it would take up too much space/not fit right for my 16' Alumacraft, I need not have worried, it fits perfectly and the extra length comes in handy in choppy conditions. GO FOR IT!

Thanks, we still have 3 feet of ice, finally warming up this week with daytime highs in double digits, but nite time still below zero, might be a few icebergs by walleye opener on 19th May.

Spent a few hours out and about on my home lake. Got some fish, and some time with jack and the dog before bed.

I totally get what you are saying and appreciate that I live in the boonies, In fact I moved from the city, with no job or connections to this place to get away from noise, hussle and bustle etc, a bold move which has paid off....I recommend it. My point is more about when people, perhaps not you, but I have encountered many, many people that assume that they are the target of being filmed. People are far too boring to film and if you go on any drone forum the videos people are posting are of amazing landscape vistas and some architecture. Where people are involved it is usually obvious from the footage that they are willing participants. Of course people are filmed without permission, but to think this is a problem that warrants more and more punitive measures for drone owners ignores the fact that your privacy is being invaded in much more sinister ways nearly every second of the day, whether or not you hear drone propellers. As for noise pollution and people already breaking the strict rules governing drone flights, there will always be those that will. I will abide by any rules that come out until it becomes to costly or prohibitive to actually use my drone, maybe insurance is a good thing anyway, maybe some basic training for operators is a good thing too, however in my opinion from the off the government rules have been kneejerk and punitive in nature and these latest proposals smack of a money grab.

I think it’s odd when I hear people using privacy issues as a reason to bash drones. When I fly my drone I could give a rats butt what people are doing, I’d be more worried about closed circuit monitoring of everything andthe data being exploited by the social media platforms you use to complain about drone users

I also question the limits on fish sometimes, they seem waaaaaaay too high, especially when you factor in that in most cases any resource is finite. Just because something is legal doesn't make it ethical, afterall, slavery was legal at one point.

There are a few areas that hold them. Last year the spot I was on in the video did not produce that well at all, whereas the year before that it was on fire. I have done a bit of exploring in that area and found other spots that hold good numbers of fish, plan Bull are always nice to have. My original spring spot has been completely raped and is a shadow of its former glory but I have a couple new spots I wanna try this year in the boat.

Hi all, Winter continues with a vengeance here, mostly -20C at night for the last week and into the weekend. It was warm last week for 1 day and everything hardened up. The snow pack is like concrete, so its quad time. Got out for 2 hours yesterday in-between work, to do list and school runs, got a nice limit of crappie.

I won the knife in a local Bass tournament, lol don’t think I would have bought one either, but definitely handy for slabs.
