What we need is a groundhog that specializes in ice predictions!! Maybe we can send Wiarton Willie for specialty training!!

Define 'bad'!!

egg-zakly!

Thx guys. I guess they are not as scarce as I thought. I had checked C. Tire here in Wasagaa and on Bayfield as well as Wally's here in Wasaga.

Not "spinnerbaits", but the kind pictured They seem to be a bit hard to find these days, although I can find some on-line. Quite a versatile little rig, IMO. I have various in-line bait spinners, but I prefer the kind pictured in some cases. thx for your help.

I would have paid him double what he wanted and bought that mule!!!

A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. The Farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new mother-in-law, hoping that it could be a friendly, non-antagonistic relationship. To no avail, she kept nagging them at every opportunity, demanding changes, offering unwanted advice and making life unbearable to the farmer and his new bride. While they were walking through the barn, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly. At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, however, he would shake his head, no and mumble a reply. Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about. The farmer replied, "The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy' and I would nod my head and say, 'Yes, it was.' The men would ask, 'Can I borrow that mule?' and I would shake my head and say, 'Can't. It's all booked up for a year.'

I'm sure this topic has been discussed here before, but IMO post a pic with the background showing is a completely different matter from describing in detail where you caught the fish. If someone recognizes the background they already know that spot. It's probably already one of their faves.It's not going to be any more crowded the next day or the next week from folks lurking on a forum. IMO, we overestimate the influence of forums such as these. Case in point---I live right next to a popular spot for salmon and bows. Rarely, if ever, will somebody identify this spot as where they caught fish. The number of people fishing there varies a lot, depending on how good the fishing is(or has been?). These days with texting, e-mail etc the 'grapevine' is hyperactive. People can text there buddies an soon the word spreads.

One of Santa's elves did---following orders from the boss!!

Thx, guys---that seems to be unanimous. I have never fished for bass in the late fall so I really didn't know! (See here, MB and CB----something we can all agree on! Is this a great thread er what?? )

When do bass stop biting in the fall? How cold does the water need to get before the stop feeding and hitting lures? thx

It's amazing how far a discussion can go off the rails!!!

There seems to be a fair bit of misunderstanding going on here. I really don't understand what was meant by that 100% comment???

Fish----Booooring!!! Jes kiddin', jes kiddin'

OK, I know I shouldn't show backgrounds but here goes!! If you don't recognize this place I'm never gonna tell!! Don't want the every Joe Blow out there flocking to my prime pike ground.

Just when you think the world is going to hell in a handcart you see something like this!! Note the sign and the cashbox on the lower left.

From the link above: "If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job."

My first marriage lasted 20 years but it seemed a lot longer with the wind chill factor!!!

Amen to that!! When folks start quoting National Enquirer quality stuff as the gospel truth we have a long way to go to get back to a reasonable discussion!!! The one thing I know for sure is that if Trump loses it will be somebody else's fault, not his. The infallable one does not lose!! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/17/man-who-cried-rigged-problem-with-trump-election-claims

Very small chance. Why would good people want to taint their reputation by associating with a moral degenerate such as Trump?? O I--I think you should do your duty as a citizen and choose the best of a bad bunch.

Congrats Lew. To use a word much overused these days------that's awesome...it really is!

The last time I was at Angus HH( about 2 yrs ago) they had a variety of FF. I thought they were still sold elsewhere as well.

I agree with all of OI's second papa but especially this! Is there some sort of mass death wish??

Aw, c'mon BC, you know how quickly political threads go downhill.

Oh, I know you can get them down deep with sinkers when you really wanna. With wigglers, though, you can't get them to go shallow.
