I concur.

And again!

It's an ice breaker Rich and a good start. Hope everyday sets a new PB. Have fun and say "Hi" to Patsy for me.

Weekends need to be mandatorily longer!

I did my share of dishes Roy, bare handed. Thanks to Bernie and company for a great weekend!

Outstanding Mike and good for you for putting it out there! And a big thumbs up to Jason and Pete for not only bidding on your generous offer but on an outstanding day of fishing. Kudos to all of you.

Oh and if you're wondering what those tandem trebles on the bead chain are for Luhr Jensen J-Plugs.

Very nice. Funny how the old timers are spotting some old favourites. I noticed a jointed Beno in there as well not to mention the black-silver fleck hotshot.

Yes.

Well I'm pleased your happy with it, it certainly fits the bill for most occasional weekend anglers who've never experienced quality rods.

Believe it or not I have one those Izumi signature rods from CTC. Bought it some 25 years ago on short notice for a trip into Lake Kipawa. It's 6' 8"s, rated for 10 to 20lb and I've abused the hell out of this rod over the years and it's still good to go, no complaints!

When you get that Halibut John make sure to bring some home and call me, I'll bring the beer, any flavour you desire.

Nicely done Jim! Those West Arm Skis have eluded me for far too long.

Wow! You and Juli have posted some great reports here but this one will be tough to beat. As previously mentioned, outstanding!

Very nice Sir.

No doubt.

Nice! Did you have your sign Mike.

They look good to me Chris and no doubt they'll get some bass and likely some weed walleye too! Well done.

The collapse of the entire NHL would have no bearing on my everyday life. They've long passed the ability of the average family to take in a short evening of mild entertainment. RIP.

eh oh, lets go..... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hPp0-3Vo2uM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Well it's always wise to get your guides as true as possible but as for having a them slightly off making a big difference in casting, I suspect not. Most factory rods I've seen could do a lot more to ensure the guides are straight. Also popular these days are spiral wrapped rods (bait casting) and I've never had any complaints about them affecting casting.

Seriously.

Hahahaha.... Great shots. It's been a loooong time since I've seen one of those critters.

Your life long experiences there Bernie have shown me you know it well. Just razzing you a wee bit.
