Hey guys, please don't bring your evening stuff to this board, okay fellows? The other board is trashed tonight and this week, from the going on. This "mix" is not a good batch here, guys. Deal??? I am only one person and a visitor or guest here. But this is a great bunch. Frank has worked very hard for this site.

Well, instead of doing chores today, I headed out to the paddlesports show and got inspired to get my butt in gear and get the boats ready for spring...of course it's going to rain and snow over the next couple of days. The good news is that my Thule Hull-a-ports that I bought to fit on the Suburban I used to have should fit the Yakima bars on my old Explorer. I hope that turns out to be the case, as it will save me a bunch of money to get new saddles. Anyone here have any direct experience doing this?

Oyster and Joe, I think you know me well enough, I am a courteous person and respect other peoples views. I will not change that stand from one forum to another. I intend to keep that up.

Thanks anyhow.

Thanks for the welcome folks.

I'm not really sure that I am a refugee though.

I'd rather say that I have relocated so that I can regain a little more of my hobby, peace and quiet.

Mike, That's there we're here. No need to discuss the other place mate.

Well, MMike and Oyster. you guys are serious fishermen. Me I just built a nice wooden bait box for Annette. And I have enough trouble just handeling the sheets and lines on my little sailboat and I don't know how I'm gonna add some fishing line to the mix :roll: . But guys, man alive are there some big ol fish jumping in the Hudson at times when I go sailing. Now obvoisly I dont know about eating no Hudson river PCB fish but catch and release may be fun way to hang out. Figure I could sail out to a local spot drop the sheet and cast a line. But beyond that IDEA I haven't got a clue how to fish.

What you need is a fishing boat Joe. Build a small skiff and put on a small outboard motor. I bet your daughter would have a blast fishing. :)

Joe - I too am a serious fisherman- ask my wife when she looks at the rod racks :lol:

Here's a link to a very good write- up on fishing from a sail boat. This guy has had the same fiberglass trailerable boat for some 25 years now.

By the way- remember the 9/11 tribute called "Hit the buildings, Missed America" that was all over the web just afterwards- this is the guy who wrote that.

Many small and large sailboats use handline rigs with bungy cords installed in the tow part of the line, tied to the boat, as an alternative to fishing lines. As far as rigs, consult your local tackle store for the types rigs, for the fish in your area.

Frank, the resident patron saint of this enlightened and amusing place, has only one rule: BE NICE. That's it. And he is and we are, mostly, usually. :?

I am whatever our host will allow me to be, whoever you are, with great pleasure. I hope this Simmons picture will do for you.

Hi Joe, you have some major projects ahead of you. Remember what Red Green says-"When the going gets tough, switch to power tools"

For your pond dredging try to find someone with a long stick excavator, they can dig out your pond and pile it up to let you use it once the water drains out of the pile.

For your pond entrance you need to build some gabions, which are what Donn said they are, a piece of chain link fence fabric filled with rock. They are about 3' square and filled with rocks about the size of a basketball.

For your wildflowers check out this site http://www.prairienursery.com/ We went to a seminar put on by the guy that runs this company, he has been doing this for 31 years and is an expert because he has made every mistake you can make. It isn't something that you can do overnight, you have to kill all the weeds first, but once it is established it takes from 1 to 5 hours per year to maintian it (which consists of burning or mowing it off)
