That's one Hell of fine Canada Day CM, well done indeed.

Six years ago on my buddies birthday (his treat too), we were there, front row, stage left. Bush, STP and the Cult. Hell of night.

Can you dig it? I sure as Hell can. Happy Canada Day folks.

Indeed Lew, I have witnessed on a few occasions ducklings disappearing beneath the surface to Pike (Bronte Harbour) at the great despair of the parent ducks who were extremely upset about it. There are truly monstrous Pike in the estuaries, inlets and bays of Lake Ontario.

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.
