    just curious

    Lately I have seen threads that date back to 2001 and 2002. I always was under the impression that in 2003 one of the I.T. guys goofed up and lost several thousand threads.Did somebody recover these threads or was the loss limited to the johnson /evinrude forum?

    Lake Ontario "salmon"

    It had to happen sooner or later. Yesterday afternoon 2 miles out, over 70 feet of water,in the middle of a dispersed group of kings that was anywhere between 10 and 50 feet down. There was the hookup,a huge bang and it was.....a 4 pound largemouth bass. Go figure.

All I can say is that I do not miss the old dockside chat wars at all. Now I really understand what we were getting ourselves into.We made a bloody nuisance of...

    Centre of gravity.

    I am thinking about taking a 19 foot Renken fishing boat, ripping the Inboard/outboard system out,replace or reinforce the transom and hang an outboard on the boat.This mostly because I really dislike the idea of an inboard/outboard system in salt water. My first concern would be what will...

    Who do you miss?

    I miss Castawayray in spite of his little red truck. Sometimes I think that technostingray was one of his reincarnations.

    Is Murky an anarchist???

    Murky in each of your many many threads and comments you call yourself "A Rare and Proud Conservative" and then you usually go on preaching against central and big nanny government which in your eyes seems to be the instigator of most things bad in America. It occurs to me that you pick a bone...

    Forcing down gas prices

    It really is very simple.We call all do it with a bit of effort. In the past few weeks I have seen 20 cent differences between gas stations. If we all make the effort and go religiously to the cheapest one in our area,even if it is only a one cent difference,competition will force the other...
