make yer own http://www.attheoak.net/archives/index.html

Ahh a duell,,Well that esplaines it,I thought you were serious.

hey ifin yer thinking ima gonna geta spell check forget it..yup a lot of stuff can be figured from the couch now a days.about a long time ago i went to every "past year fishing report" for every day of every month of every year that was posted at the time..and i made several charts from water color,temp,spicies ,troll dir,weather,lure or bait used,time of day wind and current direction,fow,depth of lure,,,yes guys i got downright anal about this new to me fishing thing think it was in the late 90's... Guess ya could say i did things bassackwards i bought a 22 ftr rigged with 4 elect cannons,about 1000 lures rods reels everything a good fisherman needed to be sucessful. Problem was i never fished with riggers once in my life,I never heard of a dypsy rod(3 of them with deal and 30 dyspys) didnt know what GPS stood for let alone see one ..Yup I pretty much lernt myself with the help of this site (At The Oak) maybe 1 or 2 tangles and a couple lost lures and 12 or 13 years later i can Honestly say I have been skunked 2 days out of hundreds if not thousands of days on lake ontario..because of those charts i made many years ago ,,, I still carry them in the boat.... So Joe and Shirly,thanks for your "site" To the Captians Of old,,,, thanks for your post,,,,,And thanks Harold Foltz who was the original owner and set my boat up as it was when I bought it used many years ago...

yes sir time to man up and get some balls

yea ill bash and i wasnt even there>>> oh boy,oh boy,,,, Kinda like this wayne the fire link for a ansol system is recomended to be 150 deg you decide to change it to a 170deg for what ever reason where does the blame fall even if your decision had nothing to due with a vent fire ??? If you have a small craft warning you cant override it without assuming full liability.. If some one said (commitie staff) yea head out boys and 1 or more persons drowned or 1 or more boats sunk can you Imagine the headlines..PRO/AM comittie sends out boats in bad storm all commitie members being sued and pro/am shut down forever... Im just saying like fishass i mean fishtails said them be the rules ya cant blame no one but ma nature Hmm not much of a rant....

well I might chime in here to save many headachs and lost balls ,dont leave yer balls hanging from the hook when ya trailer it tends to stress the cable at the pully..trust me on this one

yea I kinda had a little reserve on gettin in the open for that reason not that Im a pro by any means,but after fishing in the am dev for a few years and actually beating some of the pros (overall score) in more than one derby.. So with that said I guess anyone could win the open too,you can choose yer port (follow the fish) ,have home port advantage by fishing yer usual waters....many of the LOC winners or high placers are not captians just guys like you or me that drops yer lure in front of the right fish..some days the fish are all left of port but the guy who went right wins,go figure.... Ant no disputing a 5 or 25 yr captian has some advantage (lots), but hey ya ant gonna win it belly achin on the couch,and you shure the hell can guarentee a winning fish if you dont get in it...If I didnt miss the deadline i might of got in th oak this week just to whip Motomans Butt...take this jonnie and scott too.

probly gimble mines been talkin for a couple years been slappin grease in their more than usual gonna be a nice mess for the mech who changes it (sorry hank) just a tad noisy with no vibes tho.. hard to belive a total falure that fast unless its been neglected or yer grease tube thingy is gone too. shouldnt effect gear oil as its outside outdrive even if ya blew upper seal (viberation)it should be dry in the bellows (I think) whoever winterized it would of seen water intrusion signs if the bellows were shot notg to mention water in the bilge from "weep"hole ....ya been hittin bilge and gettin water? worse yet "oily water"?
