Is this the Shang Wheeler of Stratford, Connecticut. who made some of the most beatiful Wood Ducks ever carved and painted? A couple of his birds sold for 40 to 50.000,00 a piece on an auction. (1996 i think, I have to look it up).

am I right, did I win????? :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: <jk>

...sounds good, but the boat ain't in Warwick. ;) I'd love some opinions. As of right now, I've got him rechecking what he said he already had fixed. I told him...NO MORE $$$!!...call me first.

I spoke with him yesterday and was told there was water in 2 compartments of the lower unit. He swears he pressure tested it, and doesn't understand how the water got in there...oh boy!!:mad:


...someday next week, if you want to take a ride...Pm for Cell if you mis-placed it.

Nils,

Yes you won. My family had a farm in Lordship (Stratford) that was taken by the Gov't in the 30's. They built an airport and developed the Corsair there. They filled in some of the best coastal estuaries that lower LIS had ever seen. I grew up Bass and Weak fishing on the Housy and in Milford/Lordship.

Pop new Shang well. I won't comment about what we have from him, but the education he passed on to my Grandpop and Dad is a cherished memory in our family.

What a person learns from their elders is vital to the future of experience. Shang and company were very proactive hunters.
They didn't kill for the prize of killing.

Don't doubt this. It is truth.......


And somehow that causes offense sometimes

Yeah, me and the beachwalker are cool everybody. And I publically apologize for that "Fishing for Dummies" joke. And for posting to many pics. (I really have no idea about that kind of stuff) Sorry John, I definitely don't want to hogg up space, piss people off, or make anyone's job more difficult then it already is. But let's all make this water under the bridge (with many BIG fish there).:p :p :) :D :cool: :happy:

....ok, I need a slap on the side of the shell too :smash:

It just bothers me when someone chits on someone for legally keeping a fish, especially when the 'keeper' isn't praising conservation issues all the time.


ssssssssssssssssSMACK!!...:smash:


My apologies-

private and public

Thanks for the support Bloo. I'll throw you a chicken neck any day.

REAL CRABBERS know that crabs prefer eels over chicken necks.... :D

...wasn't needed, I mis-understood...mia culpa.


...and if you wanna throw something......throw tails. LOBSTER TAILS :D:D:vamp:

"Fishing for Dummies"...<<<does that really exist??>>> :confused:

Oh guys, you forgot to put Mikey in scale for that picture...He's 5'1"; 41 my keester.
Love,
Tall Rick
PS-I really must say that the Monkey Mikey goes out every day @ 4 am religiously...It's about time he got one that you can measure in pounds not inches...I'm guessing about 23# it's not too fat.
Later Guys,
Rick

Always use quality bait.
That way iof you come home with no fish you can at least eat the bait.
