Hi Rick, Costa Rica is one of my favourite spots for ocean and fresh water, I did the west side.Costa Rica also offers activities for almost any interest and age. Xtapa, Zeehuatinao sp?, in west Mexico was very nice as well. Good luck with your choice. I want to see Cuba some time.

Aside from the occasional Goof on the water, there are a lot of helpful Gents like that around, and thank goodness for that. FL

Thx Eagle, PM sent, and was that a 9/16 wrench?

Hi Tungsten, I test drove a jon yesterday with a 2000 jonson 40/30 jet. He was able to pull start the motor in neutral or forward. Is that usual? Thx

Hi, can any one tell me if it is usual or not to be able to pull start a jet outboard in neutral or forward? Thx

Thx Guys, Big Help. PL

My kill button on my 15 horse does not work. With the key on or off it, the motor will work, but it wont stop if I pull the kill cord, or press the kill button. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix, I could maybe do myself? Would it just be a wire to solder, sp? or more involved? Any input is appreciated. Thx Paul

Hello cgyguy, very considerate of you. Last week I had a man with a jet go thru my hole twice in minutes, and there was lots of room to go elsewhere, so I was very unimpressed, and yet on the otherhand, I run a 14 ft jon w a short shaft 15 on it. At times moving up river if it narrows I have to stay to a certain depth to go thru, and that at times encroaches on fishers, but I will usually try to announce my intentions. I think most boaters will make themselves available if someone needs assistance. Over the years I pulled 2 strugggling swimmers out, and saved a jet boat with motor problems from going over the weir at Carseland. I like to think most of us are considerate, and yet there are a few that really curl my hairs. Keep eveyone in mind. Sound like your new set will make fishing easier on the sore body. Enjoy, I will wave if I see you out there.

That is a great part of FFC, always something to learn, and lots of members offering good info, sometimes even when you don't ask. HA HA Good Luck and keep giving her the old try. I agree in the break it down to smaller sections.

Waayyy Toooo niiice,

Sorry to say, likely $60.00, but that is still not bad, considering no warranty. Better luck next time. Over the years I broke 3 rods. Thank Goodness for warranties.

Is that the Hank that used to have the Shell on Elbow Drive? If so he is very good. Took great care of some family vehicles for years.

Mike is pretty good.

Sorry for your loss, they become a big part of the family. I still miss my bullmastiff. He gave me 10 years of great fun and companionship. Almost time for another dog. Nice pics and great colour.

Welcome to the Cow Town, and the amazing Bow, but most importantly, Congrats on your first Bow River Brown. Aren't they sweeeeet!!

Interesting you find the fishing to be slower there, I find it has its bad days., and lots of wind. PL

I got on google to try to find the Bow River episode of Trout TV. I can find many other episodes, but not that one. Any suggestions? I believe one of the members, was the guide for the show. Thx

My fav cut spot is the Michelle if you can get in line early enough. Congrats on your first!!

If I dropped my phone or Ipod in the toilet or out house, it would stay there. For the idea of using rice, I would add oyster sauce and saute for 5 minutes. I have dropped a new set of $500.oo glasses in the Bow and my optician gave me a break. If you catch a fish with nice sunglasses on, they are mine.

I can understand. My truck was broken into and all my flies were stolen, and the goof left my rods,( Thank god), so off to restock. I already have several 2 sided boxes full, and extras in containers. I don't tie yet, but that could be scary. When I see the prices like on Icky, I wonder why tie, but I have a fav streamer I will need to tie as Brent S is no longer tieing, Boo Hoo. Too many flies, but lots of fun buying them. The stores love me.

Great colour and pics, going sunday, can't wait.

I agree with bhurt on confidence and presentation. Going sunday, can't wait.

SSLLAABBB WOW That eats big fish!! Good Going
