    That was the plan. Chemistry class freshman year changed that lol.

    I saw the emperor's press conferences. He is all for people getting outside in uncrowded venues.

    With the state of the economy in shambles, fishing tackle vendors and tackle shops are going to be particularly vulnerable to bankruptcy due to razor thin profit margins in the tackle industry. We need these businesses as they tend to cater to our equipment needs specific to the body of water we fish. Tackle shows are being canceled. I would ask all tournament committees to consider allowing tackle stores and local vendors to have a presence at weigh-in locations for tournaments to sell their wares. Not only will this help support our local businesses but it will bring people to weigh-ins to help promotion of an event. Many teams realizing they are going to finish out of the money in an event, often bypass the scales and leave early. Give these teams some incentive to stick around and shop. Thank you for your consideration.

    If given a choice of days on a weekend to fish, I pick the day that is not an East wind. Over the years I have a couple spots on the lake I go to during an East wind. The fish move due to changes in water temperature and oxygen levels when stuff comes rolling up from the bottom when the lake currents reverse with an East wind. Some go to bottom, some go offshore, some go high. I have found in spring I fish high with an East wind.

    LOU filled with great people. Knot worthy on this site offered to bring my daughter to the border if needed. Luckily my wife works with a Canadian nurse that is married to the head of Canadian Immigration. Much better than plan B which involved my boat .......

    Kid is home. All good.

    I can’t get her. Border closed to Americans. She may have to get a ride to border then walk across bridge.

    I will be trying to get my daughter home from college in Canada. Anybody own a plane?

    Any changes due to border closures?

    August off olcott is typically an “offshore” bite until the final week.

    Last I talked to you you had not started making them. Do you have any ready?

    Try the 3M silicon carbide paint and rust stripper disk over wire brush. You may find it works better and save you money over the length of the project

    28,000 cases in Italy with 1800 deaths. Check my math but that is over a 6% death rate. I wonder if lying Fox News is still spinning this as a “democrat hoax”.

    Piers from the end of March thru first two weeks of April will have browns and sometimes coho to catch. Ports that have a tributary usually have a pier.

    My daughter is being sent home from U of Guelph Ken. Viruses don’t know borders.

    Unless you have been living under a rock, your world has changed with COVID-19. If you are looking for a boat name “social distancing “ would be right. BTW West Marine is selling toilet paper lol.

    I tried to cut and paste from one of the major fishing tackle companies but I am not seeing the one-piece version right now. Hopefully they are still making them. A two piece 7' lite action downrigger rod would do the same thing. I use them as board rods and downrigger rods. The light action keeps boat mates from pulling hooks on fish and I don't need 50 million rods to manage. Yes, they get 30 lb mono on rigger rods even though they may not be rated for line that heavy......its an ugly stick, virtually indestructible. Bend them to the water on a tight release, step on them, bang them around.....it doesn't matter.

    What kind of boat is that? Nice deep layout.
  22. Gill-T
    Cheaper to take a charter than bring rig up from down south.

    Great mount.

    Ugly Stick one-piece lite action rods with light line. Wrong again Lucky. I am sure they fight better in streams. Interesting that a master center-pinned friend of mine has been catching them at Oak Orchard in February and they were dropping eggs and milt. They seem to be adapting to Great Lakes conditions like some of the pacific species.

    We boated a 14 lber for a Sabre’s alumni event. I told the gentleman he would never catch one bigger in his lifetime so he kept it to get it mounted. One other maybe 12 lbs but the majority caught each year are under the 25” minimum. In the lake they are poor fighters. Give me the pacific species every day of the week.
