Sure was Lew...I started using a long bamboo pole and with a tincan with worms we picked the night before...My grandpa never owned a rod and reel and I never got one until I was 12 years old for Christmas...LOL
I kinda recall the name but we were O-F-N before O.F.C....I still think of myself as an OFNer because that is what it sez on my cap, T-shirt and yellow jacket,,,LOL
Our old pal Photoz had a knack for finding and photographing them...I have a lot of his pictures on file...
Never see any hereabouts but sumpin' around here eats the mice we catch and dispose of
in the woods
Cliff and Steve: Make sure you get them undercoated My 2009 Santa Fe (used) rusted out so badly Hyundai wouldn't put it on the hoist last March to do the work on a recall issue...
2017 Nissan Rouge Platinum running nicely...
Would still get a Hyundai SUV but never a sedan...Like sitting on the road...LOL
This past weekend I experienced the reverse...Two of my sons and my oldest grandson used to rent a pontoon boat ($350 a day) the weekend after Labor Day in September because I can't handle getting in and out of regular boats any more This weekend they show up with a one year old Pontoon they bought because of my handicap...Have been out in it four times already...I am still flabergasted !!!
Here I am getting on with no help from anybody....I feel I am not worthy but I must have done sumpin' right besides teaching them how tocatch fish...LOL
The one I caught in Frenchman's Bay near the little bridge in open water was a more greenier color...The ling I ate was from Lady Simcoe... I was told it was like poor man's lobster so I gave it a try...can't remember if I cooked it or my first wife R.I.P.
