Well if it came down to a choice between those two I'd go for the sharks. I have sharks so I'm likely biased, but they're the best rigger weights I've used thus far.

I had a 76, 25 horse Johnson that did that, clutch dog was worn. Replaced it and the detent spring while I had it apart, problem solved.

Nope, still not working Roy, I've been able to access my photos but can't upload any.

Can't even compare to standing on the floor of a hot rolling mill turning bars with tongs and feeding the next mill, long johns required to keep your skin from burning. Not to mention working next to the iron runner in the blast furnace or next to a steel making vessel wearing heavy heat reflective clothing.

Thanks Bud. I know Fish Farmer has it, if he happens to see this thread.

His name is Malcolm but I'll be darned if I can locate his phone number.

Love Vernors Gingerale Terrence, takes me back to my youth fishing with Grampa and stopping in those little country stores where you pulled a bottle right out of ice water! But given that I don't think you'll find bottled Vernors, but most every grocery store in Hamilton has 12 packs of canned Vernors, your brothers only need to look for it. Oh and it does taste every bit as good, just lacks the nostalgia. Add in....A quick search shows Metros carries it locally here in Hamilton

Don't forget that the possession for Atlantic Salmon is one and must be greater than 63cm (24.8"s).

Awesome!

You're welcome. While Ron and I didn't connect with wallies I'm certain we were in the right area and due to weather we only got out there once over the week. You have a great trip, be safe.

Fished the area once several years back Laz, with Ron. Deep water can be had at the south end of East Hardwood Island. I followed his directions while I motored out as he knew the area and said they're were rocks to watch out for. We didn't get any "eyes" but we did get a number of big sheephead.

Nope.

Can you dig it Brian. I could listen to this repeatedly for hours...... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tM-iDOWUA9U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Or live if you prefer, not the greatest audio but Neil still rocks! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gE8i3-JyJvU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks for that, never heard it, but I likes it. I'll have to delve into that album a little more.

Make a phone call to Bay City Marine Darren (905-574-1222 ), they sell Yamahas. I got a spare aluminium prop for my 2006, 75 Merc off them a few years ago for $100.00 though I did bargain with them for it.

Thanks for the link Johnny and wow, what can I say about Jen, incredible!

I have nothing to offer Mike but I've no doubt you'll move fish and likely boat some. Have a great weekend.

Meat Puppets, nuff said! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-ieRd4wElWg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Absolute tank Anders, perhaps you'll never best it, but my wish to you is you spend a great deal of time trying and hopefully someday succeeding!

Seems to me we've lost sight of the OP, good score it was for him. I've also last tackle out the back and I don't have a bass boat, just a wee tiller.

Thank you. The first year I caught rainbows in Whitemans was 1974 or 1975. I stood on the bridge with a CO friend who had a truck load of several thousand dumped in. After giving them time to acclimatize and spread out we then fly fished and go figure, my first fish was a 19" Brown. I've always suspected that those were indeed the first rainbows in the creek.

Exactly, any further negativity will be dealt with, severely!

If you don't mind my asking, what year would that be?

Great read indeed. Some day I'll have to recant a story to you about (likely) the first Rainbows ever to visit Whitemans Creek.

Thanks again guys, much appreciated. Floatman55 was in this morning to pick up the rod and left very happy and that of course makes me happy. Thanks Mr. Floatman.
