Whatta guy that Cliff !!!

Nice to hear all your hard work paid off Bye !!!

A whole bunch of years ago at a GTG on Cooks Bay out from Gilford, Wil Wegman was the cook, he rolled the perch in Fish Crisp then in beer then in Italian bread crumbs then fried in cooking oil...Was very yum-yum After they ran out of beer (can you imagine ?) he used ginger ale...I have used 7-up and it was good...

Are'nt we all...LOL

Thanks guys...lots of company both Friday and Saturday = 2 cakes...I likes cake !!!

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

Youse are good men...Tells your mother...!

Oh my...we all miss her !

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

You're a good lad...tells your mother...!!!

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

And a Merry Christmas to you Cliff and all OFNers (OFCers) !!!

Something smells fishy Lew...If the other places don't mention the same thing about alignment and warranty...I would avoid that one like the plague!!!

So glad to hear this worked out in your favour Cliff

Yeh Dave...it is a b**ch getting old...Don't do it...Hurts too much...LOL

I hate it when that happens...Still waiting for the mobility portable scooter I ordered about 4 years ago...$70 down the tube...Grrr

Not trying to steal your post Brian

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.

Many moons ago, ice fishing on Lake Simcoe most people left them on the ice for the farmer that raised mink in the area...I only tried eating one once...was like chewing on rubber...LOL

Just as I never knew Crappie were called Crappie until I saw a picture in a magazine...We were told they were Calico Bass...Bowfin we were told were Dogfish or Burbot or Ling...

And I defy you to find a bone after CPH has cleaned them !!!

Sorry to hear this Cliff...I know you and young Cliff had a lot of fun...If it was just storage you needed ...I got a large back yard !

I know what you mean Lew...One year after we moved up here, all 10 poplar trees out back died (only good for 30 years)(planted in '72) As they were the cylindrical type I watched as they felled each and every one... Those 2 guys could drop a tree on a dime...for an extra hundred dollars they cut them up into 15" logs which a neighbor and I then split up into firewood with his splitter...
