ROTFLMAO! "My wife would like that..."

Wow, awesome link, thanks. I also willhave a good look at that ofah faculty, thanks for that. There's some great info right here on the board, I can see that already. I am hoping that once word gets out how good my homebrewed beer is, I may get an invite or two to go fishing somewhere... you never know. I probably have to get past the idiot novice stage first, and that's why I asked the original question. Cheers

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for, nothing jumps out at me! and yes, HTHM, I do need to spend more time on the water with as many helpful mentors as I can find! Cheers

Yeah, I suppose YouTube *is* a pretty good place to start. I've been watching, close-up, when someone else guts/cleans a fish, and everyone seems to have their own, slightly different approach. I guess I just have to keep at it. Any suggestions for an all-around fishing book or two? websites to surf? Even a "must-have" list for a noobie who is fishing from shore would be good. I seem to just keep dropping into Canadian Tire and I'm sure there are bett options. Cheers

Awesome, thanks, I'll have a look for that! Cheers

I'm just getting started, learning how to fish, after catching some great smallies in Lake Baptiste the last couple of summers. (I've spent the last few years focussing on learning to brew my own beer, but now I have a little guy underfoot, and figure that I had better learn something sensible we can share together someday) I'm trying to learn all I can, surfing around randomly on the net, getting books out of the library. As you can imagine, it's *all * helpful at this point. Just wondered if you guys had any suggestions, any "must-read" books that inspired you. Also, how the heck do you learn to clean a fish properly? Is there a course, a dvd, a book? or just lots of practice? Cheers
