  1. I used to knock the hat off my son's head as we walked in the door, followed by a little talking to.

    Hahahaha! Good on ya!

     

    I never needed that reminder but he said it EVERYTIME!

     

    Our locals loved me lol I was the yound buck the vets loved. Helped I had a good job, bought beers, helped a few with food or bills, volunteered and I was pretty lucky on the pig and I bought more than enough rounds for the vets.

     

    I still pop in from time to time, shame most are gone now. That and you have to go at like 2 oclock to avoid the 20 year olds

  2. Our local legion would have my grandpa turning in his grave.

     

    Its turned into a pool hall basically and full of 20 year olds that wont even remove their hats.

     

    The guest book is gone and so is the old tradition of buying a round for everyone if you fail to remove your hat before entering.

     

    ???

  3. I noticed you emphasized "FISHING".

     

    OFC is also a "COMMUNITY".

     

    Perhaps you jtracc should search what that word means?

     

    This is not just a fishing forum. It's friends from all over that through years become involved in other facets of board members lives.

     

    Some many members I've never met, nor fished with, but I've gotten to know them through their posts, whether its their trades, families, pets, food, pastimes etc.

     

    So yeah we all fish and try to post as many reports as we can. Right now is that time the diehards are out fly fishing or toughing harsh softwater conditions, where many of us wait for the hardwater season to begin. So off topic threads come up more than usual.

     

    But anyhow, if you want strictly fishing reports, you control what you click on so ummmmmm.

     

    Or visit other forums that just post nothing but fishing.

     

    Its up to you bud?

  4. All I use is the palomar or double palomar

     

    A rarely tie line to line I just use amall barrel swivels for leaders

     

    Palomar works awesome on fluoro just make sure to moisten before cinching the knot

  5.  

    Thanks Chris, as you say I am filming my outdoor activities like i've done for a decade now..check out my youtube channel.subscribeloljust kidding :angel:. I'm not out for confrontation. I was actually filming as the CO approached as my buddy was reeling in a fish. The CO was actually hiding in the bush watching us.lolbecause he witnessed us catch and release a slot fishwhich he thanked us for doing. I switched off the camera before he arrived because there is no need to film and it is just out of respect, I know it makes people uneasy, but to be told i'm not allowed to is a whole other matterespecially if it is not the case.

     

    And who the heck is jtracc."get a life"..lolwhatever mate..loving my life thanks all the same.

    Yeah jtracc that comment really proved a point, against you.

     

    Chris brock and GWB are bang on IMO

     

    F&A thats pretty crappy you have to deal with this generation of "provacative confrontational filming".

     

    I film alot and never had an issue. Cops or co's.

     

    As I said many times, dont break the law and dont be a prick.

     

    Cops and COs are just out there doing their jobs. They have families and friends too. They arent out to kill innocent people or in most cases criminals either.

     

    Yeah ya got your bad apples but thats just people in general regardless of their profession/status etc

  6. I have no problem with someone getting a ticket for distracted driving. I think it's great to be honest. But it really pisses me off when I pull up beside a cop that's on his phone or busy on the laptop that's sitting beside him... twit for tat I guess but I live very close to a cop shop and see it almost on a daily basis.

    Cops park near my house for wifi lol

  7. LOL Simon.

     

    Wait til your out there and the ice shifts and water comes up your holes. The funniest thing I seen, watching my buddies run out of a perfectly stable hut, not knowing what awaits them outside.LMAO

    On the river, when water levels fluctuate, it would scare the s outta anyone!

     

    Even on 30" of ice. The ice crackes then drops sometimes as much as 2ft.

     

    No matter how experienced you are you will do a 15 yard dash, laugh and return

     

    Its just instinct

  8. For what they are charging you, they should of dropped off a cow for Christmas.

    Well our hydro is cheap, but yes a cow would be better???

     

    Anyone else have this happen?

     

    I was kinda shocked. Wth is hydro one doing giving out turkeys????

  9. wow guys, this stuff is super heavy...reminds me to count my blessings at christmas and shows just how for a lot of people this time of year can be tough vs a celebration.

     

    what I wanna know though is how santa handles manitou's house...aye ye ye

     

    you must run out of places to hide stuff, theres only so many secret spots.

    Locked doors lol

  10. I'm off Christmas day so I guess that could count as one wish.. my father-in-law has been battling cancer for a couple of years now and they keep finding it in different spots.. a result of him working around PCBs for so many . If only there was a way to get rid of cancer.. there are so many things I could ask for but I think a successful day of ice fishing is all I really need.. I haven't fished in 6 months for various reasons and a day out would help clear my head a bit...

    Thoughts and good will with ya brother..

     

    So sorry
