How about a piece of foam pipe insulation? Anyone ever try that? Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome to the site George. Tom B. (LongLine)

I personally prefer untangling single hooks and find removing them from nets, the flooring and/or my fingers much easier than trebles. I also find with bigger fish that the singles usually hook a little deeper in the mouth i.e. towards the corners. Trebles too often hook towards the front of the mouth, where the jaws are much harder for the barbs to dig into. When the trebles do get engulfed, it makes a mess out of the fish's mouth, tonge, gills etc. Tom B. (LongLine)

So smooth that I slipped right off his potential customer list. Tom B. (LongLine)

Just be very careful around those things if you use a lot of treble hooks. Tom B. (LongLine)

Maybe turn the wheel with engine off then turn the wheel with engine on? Kind of like power steering? (Pump could be for tilt/trim) Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy Birthday Skipper. Keep on trucking! Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy Birthday Dave Tom B. (LongLine)

Hey, a note was sent home; last one – they sent the parents a “parentlink†…guess that’s enough for these law-abiding gun owners. Or maybe this is too strict and “infringes†on 2nd amendment rights???????

OTL - I like the 3/0 & sometimes 4/0 Gammies on 28's. (I can't spell it) The ss, you'd probably get away with 2/0 but may have to reshape the spoon. Watch your shank lengths. You don't want the real short ones that some manufacturers make. Tom B. (LongLine)

Thanx guys. It's hard but am trying to enjoy it. Tom B. (LongLine)

I snell. Tom B. (LongLine)

Fish generally hit when I take a leak.... Maybe that's why I drink a lot of coffee when fishing. Tom B. (LongLine)

Regardless of the q-back, Frisco has a pretty decent looking team. I don't remember Montana running all that much. I do remember Rice leading the league in receptions for quite a few years. (I do prefer the Pats tho...) Go Giants go...home. oooppps, my bad - they did a few weeks ago didn't they Pete? That's okay though, it gives them more practice time for next season. Maybe they'll watch a few more game films or better yet watch some good football teams play. As for the Bills - I don't believe we have to pay to keep them in Western NY! Their play book this year has been obvious - Good run back, good pass play, good run play, interception.... arrrgh! Tom B. (LongLine)

Don't worry Stan. Looks like Frisco & the Patriots are going to be in the big one. Tom B. (LongLine)

If you're going to make your own...Klein steel has an outlet store on Lyell Ave near Mt Read. They sell metal left over from bigger jobs & sell aluminum. I picked up some 1/2" aluminum plate real cheap and made my own. (Aluminum cuts real easy) Hank'll tell you "it'll probably support a 40 hp." Tom B. (LongLine)

I don't know Brian. I saw 8 trailers parked at the outlet of I-bay today. Fairly large trailers too. Didn't see any boats out on the water though. Decent south wind. Ramp at Genny is blocked with driftwood. They're still have their equipment out there for working on turn-bridge. Tom B. (LongLine)

Congrats. Glad to hear baby & momma are doing good. Tom B. (LongLine)

Does McMaster-Carr ship to Canada? (That'd be worth looking into) Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy B-day Blue-eye's Dad. (Have a good one Larry) Tom B. (LongLine)

Very pretty area. Nice pic. Tom B. (LongLine)

Welcome aboard. Hopefully we're all "gettin' better" because of this board. Tom B. (LongLine)

Happy B-day 1F2F. Tom B. (LongLine)

Now that you mention it, “intending it’s use to be†is an interesting topic especially when coupled with “designed forâ€. The bic lighter was designed to light things. Among many things, most commonly, cigarettes (which BTW are heavily regulated along with anything smoking related-legal or illegal); open burning (which BTW is illegal in NYS); campfires (which BTW are definitely regulated in public places & in certain months forbidden in many states – heck, ya can’t even transport firewood for camping in NYS) However It is perfectly okay to have cooking fires on your own property lit with your bic. The gun was designed to shoot and destroy things. Hunters definitely intend to kill their prey (Gun hunters don’t practice ‘shoot & release†unless they’re lousy marksmen); Home protectionists intend to kill the intruders (gun owners applaud when this happens); Skeet shooters intend to destroy the clay pigeons; Target shooters intend to shoot their targets. (I wonder why so many targets have human shape and a bull’s-eye is a “killâ€?) Was that bic designed to light a structure on fire? Try to light a 2x4 with that toy flame thrower and see where it gets you. Now if you want a “man’s†flame, try the military M2 Thrower. It was designed to light and to kill. Oops…my bad…you have to have Federal permission for a DD or is that an AOW(?). (Device of Destruction, any other weapon) Unfortunately the rifle used in these atrocities was designed to kill and too many people have intentionally been killed with it. Thank you for your insensitivity to this subject. I’m sure the survivors of the victims appreciate your efforts to “BAN-THE-BIC.â€
