Wow, great report Robert. I especially liked those old photos of the family. I can see how that would tug on JK's heart-strings! I'm looking forawrd to a ride in that boat!

I actually released it. In hindsight it would have looked nice hanging on my wall! They say the Lake Ontario salmon are safe to eat, but I am not a fish-eater, except for fish and chips down at the pub. Went again this morning and there was lots of action. Hooked into one but lost it. There were qui...

Caught my first salmon this morning! But I forgot the camera!!! It was quite a thrill. Biggest fish I ever caught. I estimate he was no less than 10 lbs. He put up a huge fight, he bent my rod almost in half (I was afraid it would break) and got me tangled in the trolling motor. Caught him right at ...

Cut another hole in LL last night and installed a deck hatch in the rear bench seat. I am addicted to below deck storage! Actually, I needed it more so I could get access under the bench to reinforce the mount on my swivel seat and for wiring future additions of bilge pump, nav lights, livewell aera...

Me thinks that would make a great winter project :D :D :D I 'm always worried I'd get the guides all out of whack. Dude sure is a master craftsman :shock: Easier just to head up to Basspro and buy one off the shelf! Seriously, this is something I have always wanted to try, but clearly you need to h...

Check out this thread to see how a rod gets built from start to finish. This guy is a real craftsman.

Went up to BassPro yesterday after work and picked up some salmon tackle - a couple of "kwikfish", some spoons and some bottom bouncers for trolling. I was hoping to get out early Saturday morning but the weather forecast is predicting rain and 30 km/h winds. I don't mind the rain but I wo...

Sounds good BC, They sure are a powerhose on a rod and reel. Do you need a special licence to fish for them when they hit the rivers in your area? Man, bet fresh run Chinook would go great in your new smoker :D :D :D Cool This will by my first time ever fishing for them. No, you don't need a specia...
