I'm afraid not CM. I habitually forget to take my reading glasses with me when I go shopping, so I'm always stuck with my progressive lense sunglasses which make reading small print difficult. What caught my eye was a large sign that stated 2lb bag of prawns was on sale for $29.95, so on a whim I bought them never having eaten Prawns before. Once home I was able to read the bag which said farmed in Bangladesh. While quite tasty I won't purchase them again. I'll check with my local fish monger next time I visit next if he has a Canadian source for Prawns.

Oh Baby, that has me drooling.

Well the day is winding up. Gordie needs a little Frisbee session and I could use a post dinner walk. I'll leave you with a little Kim Gordon jamming with her friends........

First time buying Prawns, a quick marinade in lime juice, a dash of chili flakes and onto the grill next to the Asparagus. Served over some fried Basmati Rice with veggies. I'll do it again. 😉

Ya, it's early but let's get the day moving on.....!

Thank you Mr Art.

Oh my gosh, who couldn't love that face. Glad to see you got yourself a new companion Barry.

I'll have to place an order Brian before the fall. Maybe even get you and your boy to deliver them in person and take care of yours and his rod issues.

Thanks Bill. I now have it laid out and ready to go on the rod this afternoon having attained customer approval (11.5"s to reel position was his request) to proceed. On another note, it must have been nice to hear VERA up about again. She didn't come this way this morning, maybe this afternoon.

I did David and immediately thought of cut bait.

I'd give 'em a high one finger salute and carry on.

I'm thinking 30 centimeters myself and I concur with those who said juvi northern.

Thank you David.

That doesn't look like any fun at all Dave. But I will state (enviously) there's a few of my bucket list fish in your post and no, Gaspereau is not of them. Cheers

Thanks Bill This customer/friend is having me build him 3 new float rods slwndwn, heck he's even having Fuji Torzites on one build and Fuji SiC's on the other 2 so he was looking to cut costs where he could. I get that, 3 builds is a good chunk of change but I am fussy with what I put name on so I worked with him to find something equitable for both of us. Thanks you John.

Thanks Barry.

Thanks TJ.

I had a customer visit me recently and he had supplied some of the components he wanted me to use as a cost saving measure. I was not big on the idea as I was certain in short order he would not be happy with the end result, so I talked him out of it in favour of this one off design based on my earlier seamless fore grip reel seats. Fairly inexpensive but definitely shows that the rod is custom work. He is extremely happy with the direction change.

Other than being a hot humid day nothing exciting happened here at the extreme west end of Lake O. We did have some early evening flash lightning, almost no thunder to speak of along with some gusty winds but barely a drop of rain fell over night.

Thanks Barry. LOL....yes John, "new tires." In my efforts to replace the one that blew up on my band saw I discovered that that is indeed what they are called. Go figure. And thank ya Sir, it's not my favourite medium to work with but I do like the finished results, indeed though it's not to everyone's taste.

Well I finally got new tires and a blade on my band saw allowing to get to work on an Antler seat for a friend, he loves his Antler seats. I honestly didn't think I could get a full ergonomic contour seat from this piece due to the curve and lack of mass across the profile as seen in the pictures. But after repositioning it a few times as I made progress into getting it round I was successful in getting it done. I'm now waiting from my friend to see which side he prefers to have mortised for the reel. Now it's time to sit on the porch and relax with a cold one while the stink in the shop dissipates.

Don't be! It was a great shot of a very happy young man. If picture taking is forbidden for an out of season fish then it's also forbidden for in season fish that are illegal to possess due to slot sizes regulations (as noted above). I've seen lot's of Musky (and Walleye, Bass, etc!) pictures here and else where of slot sized (no possession) fish in season, just saying.
