  1. Damn, you are just a baby!
  2. Not my thing, as you know, but hey market to the rappers 🙂. All of your designs are a thing of beauty so finish one and put it on line. I know you don't need the work but I would love to see it finished..
  3. Have fun you too. Work hard and play hard. Watch that Crown it messes with your head.😁
  4. I have always learned by doing, no matter what you are trying to learn . It's the best teacher around. Find a stretch of river or quiet lakeside and go for it. I walked my local stretch of river, pond or beach from around 10 years old 'till I came to Canada. Here, I did the same thing, not as often as I was married with marital responsibilities. You will learn what works and what doesn't and species in that water. As Art says be like a sponge and absorb knowledge from locals on and around the water, most will share their experience, if not their favourite spots...🙂
  5. Very, very cool Chris. Love it!👍
  6. Very cool. Will you adopt me please...:)
  7. Sounds like I will have to try it Simon. Going to get my fill of good ol' cod and chips this August.
  8. If anyone can put you on Muskies in the Larry it's Marc Thorpe. Mind, he is out of the Montreal area. Google him for contact info. I am guessing he may already be booked for the season.
  9. Don't remember the Zoo Board but joined OFC (OFC) back in the early days, probably more than 20 years ago. Posted a fair bit in the early years then things became silly and there were those that jumped all over anything that was posted. A little like the wild west, LOL. Was invited to an early days Lakair GTG and had a blast and never missed one, not sure how my liver survived but it did. Fond memories of those days and of those that are no longer with us. Some good, no, some great people on this site. Have ongoing long term friendships made at those Lakair GTG's. Thanks to TJ for the start up and thanks to those who maintained law and order over the years.
  10. Let me know Chris, I'll pick you up. I know where he lives....😁
  11. Welcome Kashan. I grew up in England fishing the rivers, float and fly fishing for trout and in the sea (North Sea) for cod, whiting, mackerel and anything else that would bite. I guess the drug is the tug as they say and I skipped school to satisfy my addiction. As I grew older, motorcycles, cars and girls got in the way and fishing took a back seat until I came to Canada in 1973. Then I discovered the wonderful bounty of Walleye, Bass, Northerns and Muskie. Be well and tight lines... John
  12. With respect, I think we have all gone electronics mad. There is a big difference between need and want. I see boats out there lit up and equipped like Christmas trees, do they all catch more, or bigger fish? To be honest, at my age, it's more of a distraction than a useful tool. My one 9" screen gets me where I am going, and back, and shows me what I am looking for in the water. Just my .02, not a criticism.
  13. Hi Lew. As a retired tire retailer and garage owner there is no such thing as warranty invalidation by not doing an alignment at the time of installation. I know the folks at Michelin and if they had changed their policies I would be aware. We offered a no charge alignment check to our customers and provided them with a print out showing the alignment of all wheels. If there was a problem we would explain it and suggest that they correct it. However, if they chose not to there was no immediate warranty invalidation. If they returned say a year later with a wear pattern problem then there might have been a discussion as to to why they had that issue..🙂

    Cheating

    Just curious. Why are bass tournaments live release yet walleye tournaments are not? Maybe I have lead a sheltered life..😊
  15. I owe an apology. It was reported earlier that Queen Elizabeth did not have dogs over the past few years. This is untrue. She had stopped prior to Philip's death but relented and added 4 dogs after he passed away. Apparently according to British Press two have been taken by members of the Royal family and two are being cared for by the Royal household. As I said this was reported through British press.
  16. Used to have a contact in NB. A friends brother fished lobster, packed them in seaweed, put them on AC and we could pick them up from Pearson early afternoon. No ice to add weight to the transport charges. Don't think I have his contact any more but will check. We could order both markets and canners or a mix.
  17. Spiel is one of the best.
