Musky Plug Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hello guys, Decided to make an account on the forum since I visit frequently. Anyways local GTA fisherman, fish for all species but have started to transition to mainly musky over the past year lol. Fish mostly the Kawarthas and Georgian Bay. Looking forward to being an member of the community. On a side note, does anyone know why it takes so long for you to be able to post?

cheaptackle Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Well first of all welcome aboard! Of course you realize that standard RCMP and Canadian Secret Service background checks have to be undertaken from your application to join the board, along with interviewing your great grandparents from both sides AND all three of your ex-wives for character references. Then's there checking the ownership of your vehicles and vessels, along with your fishing and boating licenses while checking with your neighbours and Revcan. Along with that is a standard credit check, and employment verification including ensuring that the reasons you offer for taking time off to go fishing are at least believable. I understand that the previously established minimum quota for consuming wobbly pops may have been adjusted to be more politically correct HOWEVER it too is still checked. After that is all accomplished and passed/approved, then you get to post. Or it may have just been a slow connection... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptackle Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I'm guessing you may have tried to embed the pictures - which I think can be done to a maximum of three - you would probably be more successful using a site like photobucket and copying the link (can't remember the exact title of the link, been a while, but the details are there) to your post.

Am I doing something wrong? No worries and as Michael said photobucket is best to use cause then you use the 'link' and when you go to post a pic there is a 'image' icon and when you click on it then it asks for the link to the url of the image. Otherwise just make sure the image fits the "max upload size" if you don't use photobucket.

hutch4113 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 For your pictures, the other thing you can do is shrink them in size. If you have a Photo Editor - you can configure a picture so it is better suited for a Web Page. In terms of why so long to post -> It is like a fish following a bait - sometimes it likes to lurk for a while, before it strikes. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 All the background checks and application process can be eliminated if you have a nice boat and are willing to take out OFC members on it. Welcome aboard and sorry to hear you are getting into Musky fishing. Ihave yetto meet a happy Musky fanatic. Lew used to be a stand up comic until he caught his first Esox.
