Congrat's on the new pup. This was my fishing buddy for 13 years, still miss him every day...

Personally I think that the person(s) that has traveled the furthest should automatically get the trophy for 2012! Whaddya say Rich?

Tracks for sure.....gives you so much flexibility and many options.

Looks like a 3 or 4 shots of scotch job to me Bill...

Me too, me too..........I would really like to see it.......

Dang you're good! I guess that's why we pay you the big bucks!......

OH nice, I guess will never live that one down......

She's prolly going to have to promise that there will be no errant muskie lure hooks attached to her body this year Lew..

Yep match the receptacle to the Terrova plug

Well you are both old timers compared to us as we are celebrating our 38th in 13 days. We actually usually celebrate it at Lakair.........(quietly). Maybe we will again this year Lew...

Thanks Rich....

Thanks for the kind offer Lew. Will check my work schedule that week...

You guy's are killin' me. First one we will miss in 8 years! Dang weddings they should be banned!

This thread is typical of why many of us, myself included, don't post new threads anymore, either fishing or non-fishing. Rarely does a topic that can have varying opinions get off the first page before someone jumps all over it looking to stir things up. I have made many friends on this board, many of whom are still around, some who have decided that they would quietly rather become lurkers and some sadly who are gone altogether. This is still a good place to be IMHO, BUT, some of us are making it increasingly difficult for me to click on the OFC bookmark in the morning.

Welcome aboard, nice King.........

Warm congrat's Simon. Accomplishments to be proud of!

You guys are starting to make me feel nostalgic.......Used to fish dozens of spots like that in my teens with an UL 5' rod a 2 1/2" fly reel loaded with 2# line and a size 16 eyeless hook and a tiny redworm.

Great offer Dan, good on ya!......

Birds love sprinklers so you will probably attract more than you scare. As for fake owl's............I put one up a few years ago, it worked for a few days and then when they figured it out they used it as a pooping perch, it was completely white in a week. 60% peat moss, 40% top soil and rake the seed into it lightly and water it twice a day usually works. Buy good seed it pays off.

Welcome aboard. Not sure this would be a destination lake for most on this board unless you have a cottage there. Small lake but appears to have a healthy population of most sought after species. Google is your friend....

I use a 7001 Abu for larger bucktails and I don't have big hands. Price is right and it does the job.

It's called phase transformation........for example, I can buy steel in China, wind it from one coil into another and a small amount of additional processing...... and call the resulting product "Made in Canada".

Pete my heart would be with the French or maybe the West Arm but my head would steer me to the Kawarthas. As many say pretty central to everything, good hospitals in the area and I would only be 2 or 2 1/2 hrs from my kids and grand kids. Wanna go 50/50 on a compound?

Glad you all had a good time guys and gal...............sorry I couldn't be there due to family commitments J...

Keep me in mind guys, I'll make the drive in a heartbeart to fish with a fellow Limey!
