Rick......hey man how goes....you the one who got it all started for me back in my days as a newbie......

What I meant to say was " hey do you guys actually know any good fishing spots around the Niagara region???"....😁.....let's meet up at the lazy lizard...I heard Rick is buying for old time sake🍻🍻

I think if your car starts developing a coke habit...it's going to cost wayyyy more than gas🤣😲😂

Also love when you can see them dart out of a weedbed after a spinner bait

Cool ..thanks for figuring that out Tyler...so 16 years for me....that's neat to find out...looks like some of us have been around for quite a while

Hey just curious because this is my second dating profile ever on this site😘🥰😍.... curious how long some of us have been on here....???????......my profile now might not show it (lost first one)....but I bet I been a member of this community for almost 20 yrS now...,....what about you guys????(((

I wasn't going fishing with you today anyways.....lol...I'm still kind of mad that after I wasn't even there anymore that you had the guts to take my spot....then rub it in you caught dinner 😱😲🤔span widget...shoot me a message if you are getting out again next couple days

You guys caught some nice fish. I hate those Eels.  They usually tangle your rig and coat everything in slime

He probably had to sleep outside after all the eel snot he had on himself....serves him right...the second I left he couldn't wait to slime his way over to my perch spot ( 5 feet away from where he was standing)🤣...and that's cool Bill that you got a bit of a feed...had a feeling when I threw mine back...I would have kept a couple had I had more time to fish...I'm good to go after work this week pretty much any day

Here's the swamp monster trying to eat smerch...haha

Had the pleasure of meeting up with smerch this morning on the quest to catch a couple toothie critters ...today's tactics pretty simple.....slip float and minnows for bait....I guess he just wanted to show off because first cast as fast as his line could settle....bam got one!.... little while later and up pops the creature from the black lagoon!!!!....after a couple hours and a few missed bites I finally found out what kept stealing my bait...and phew ..skunk off......I ended the day with something that was big enough to break me off as fast as I could say ..hey this one has some weight to it!!!...had to go at that point and get some sleep for work tonight.....always a pleasure over the years Bill... Thanks for spending a great morning

Will shoot you back a message bill

Looks like you guys been having some fun

Awesome looking specks...

Sounds like a good day out either way.... those bowfins can be pretty scrappy...and can have some cool markings....looks like the pike may have been in a bit of a scrap

I can remember a few times when I was involved with our local conservation clubs as a younger guy in my 30s with your son Bill......as a trustee on the board for our club......the years that I worked with the MNR on the Welland river walleye project that all the old timers always loved when he came and spoke at our meetings and events.....as a trustee at the time for the " tri clubs" sitting in an volunteering at the " fish and game"..here and there, everyone always looked forward to him being there.....another thing you mentioned.....the swills.......always getting together to help raise money to promote kids in the great outdoors........thanks for sharing and starting this thread ole smerchmiester.....ps...., Pike fishing

Here's an okay shot of it....

since I'm sharing a few pics of things I love to do desides fishing as an outlet....and hobbies that keep me creative over the years....and most definitely still love to beat the crap out the gitfiddle like the old days Bill....well for us young fellers anyhoo" old days".....some of us go back almost 15-20 years practically on here

Another out of boredom and working " opposite day" from you day walkers.... thing I painted a couple years  back.... security system where I park the bike out back.....haha

Tony..... Pm me.... I know some good " kid friendly" spots......and some pointers on catching them different times of year

That's awesome....always great to see the kids out having fun .....thanks for sharing the proud grandpa moment

Neat work Jack !  I didn't know you are a craftsman .  I was looking for a little Harley , or spekkie in the water ,and happy to see the shark on the VW !

 

Good job on the little trailers and boats too .   Are the platforms made of plywood and painted ?

Ok Bill....you got me!!!...lol.....the bikes are part of my " indoor" collection....not going out in the garden......but I see where you are getting at!!!!!!....so just to humour you.....they came to take over the park for the day......ps....I told the roughians if they posted for a couple quick pics....that they could stop by your trailer any time !!

My kid brother is a big Bills fan....likes to tailgate when he has gotten to go to a game....built him this out of an old skid for an herb garden 

My herb garden last year I made out of an old skid...and assorted other stuff I made for the front garden in the past

If you look close..the one little gnome has a fish ( was a surf board)....the bottom is corrugated sign board.....every other supply is from the dollar store...I just painted it all and put it together for the little scene...I make a wildflower garden in my front every year....this was the theme I picked for this season

B12....?!.....what?.....I never thought I would see you give up fishing for bingo!!!!!.... I'm shocked...go figure....😱.....🤔...... Hopefully you get feeling a bit more up to par...and looking forward to tossing a line with you soon

Well sort of "non fishing"....almost every year I make a little theme...wild flower type garden in my front.....so......being a long winter....working straight nights.....and a whole lot of boredom living backwards from the rest of the world......I came up with this year's theme......all built out of stuff from the dollar store along with a bunch of craft type supplies we already had around the house....couple good coats of clear coat then I will be done.....

For sure Bill....shared lots of great adventures stemming back well over 20 years with Cliff.....the specky opener is a tradition he shared with me for a few years...and a great step out from Niagara....we have caught literally a few thousand big trout out of the Niagara over the decades..put derbies on together ect.....so switching tactics with the chance of catching a couple of them pretty natural run beauties and a back road adventure is a great get away........I'm sitting here right now laughing because we both left after pretty much just running in to pay quick......after walking in to check in with the owner.....grubby clothes....messed up wind blown hair.....dirty and fish slimed....and big muddy rubber boots😆😂.....she gave us our combo....opened the door...we had a quick peek in and went back fishing .....so when we got back in the car we both laughed thinking 🤔 what that poor lady must have thought.....only to go back.... actually check the room out.....then go.....o crap... Better take my boots off .....lol
