If it's great company you're after you can't go wrong Phil, IMHO! But as for the fish/fishing...... "no comment!" Just thought I'd add to our weekend conversation Joe, you know where I stand.

Hmmmmm, November walleye on Quinte, lemme think.......Uhhhh......No thanks!

A fantastic afternoon read Frank, thank you!

No worries Cliff. For me I was driving crane at work, Howard Stern on the radio and like Terry at first I thought it was bunk. I won't ever forget that day!

This thread won't last long if the subject moves away from "where were you." Take the speculation and rumours to more appropriate forums!

I like this one...... http://youtu.be/d9mb8zrXzRQ

Beer, Pickled Keilbasa, Hard Boiled Eggs, Slaw, Smoked Meat, gonna be an interesting 48 hours!

Sweet reel for sure, your gonna love using it this fall.

I've caught many "blue coloured walleye" from many bodies of water over the years but they are still yellow walleye.

You're killing me Mike. But I do enjoy the reports.

Another one is locked.

Hypothetically speaking it's unlikely you'd do much damage to a fish on a single point barbless fly. But it if happens the "no keep" rule supersedes the "allow to spoil" rule.

My sincerest condolences Bigbuck. I too recently lost my last Grandfather (93), it happened way too fast! I do however still have one Grandmother left (recently widowed after 73 years of marriage) and I was visiting with her this morning ( I try to do it weekly, or more) and it's always a good time. At 99 he's a very fortunate man as are you to have had him in your life for so long. May his memory always be a part of you, God bless.

Happy day after hangover, I know you have it....LOL

Of course he is and I should know. I'm a "rube" and I always wait till Oct/Nov......

I wouldn't pay it.

Art was logged on this morning and Joe seems to be logged on right now.....

I like a wirey type line on my reel, I find it works better for my style of casting as it wants to "spring" off the spool as opposed to back winding.

As I noted above Dave I've never used any type of braid on my center pins but I'm sure Bill (or someone) will chime in with his thoughts on using it.

If memory serves me correctly I believe Bill is using Fireline Crystal, not sure which test?

Oh those long distance hooksets are the best! I've never run braid on the center pin Bill so I can't comment on it. In fact these days I'm pretty much limited to a bait cast set up. It's a whole new learning curve but I'm enjoying it.

I haven't, never needed one above or below the float, though I also never cast off the side of the reel. I've always used a spinning pull type cast, it's how I learned.

I don't have anything on hand Geoff but deals can be made. Bottom line is, like you I'd avoid EVA.

EVA grips suck IMHO. Other than that I've can't offer any advice unless you want custom.

That would be the one.
