Larry Bass - Canadian - Survivalist

Woa! Just found this old semi-forgotten web-page five minutes ago through Google and I grabbed the source code for it because I'll have to re-do it. Maxpages, the guys that gave me the Free web hosting for this page, no longer exist, as such. :-(

I tried to get in there a few years back to edit this web-page but that didn't happen. So, I hope to re-create it, using my original source code and maybe even turn it into a Squidoo Lens or Hubpage. :-) However, until I get that done, here's the hyper-link to SurvivalStop , my first Survival related web site.

Fishing with Tiki-Sticks By Pete Larmand...

Hot Bassin' Tips...

If You fish Large Mouth Bass, you'll benefit from reading my ol' friend's well written piece on using the Senko style plastic baits, in this case a Wave, Tiki-stick! I, like Pete, love to tinker with and tweak lures to make them work better under varying conditions. I own very few "stock" lures anymore. :-)

This particular article shows y'all a nice and easy trick, that can work for You too. Enjoy!

Fishing with Tiki-Sticks, Bass Fishing Tips, Hints and Advice

Enjoy!

P.S. I saw a LM in the 3 pound plus range along the shoreline @ my secret Ottawa fishin' hole yesterday. Hmmm, I have to wonder how long she'll be safe around there. There are some large 'Lunge, known to frequent these same waters. Also it's pretty easy to see her shallow nest now from the newly raped and pillaged shoreline down there now that it looks like a freakin' lawn. ALL of the previous shrubbery, is GONE! Thank you very much, NCC. NOT! :-(

Sketches...

Some simple sketches...

Did I ever mention that I like to sketch, for lack of a better word, the odd time? Well, I do. I don't know just how many old notepads I have laying around here but each and every one of them has at least a few sketches in it. Nothing very fancy or even particularly good, mind you, but just simply a few ideas that I've put to pen, none the less. Most of them involve terminal tackle but sometimes other stuff is drawn out on impulse or to show someone an idea or how something would work or whatever.

So anywho, here's a peek at my sketchin' style, or lack there of, depending on Your point of view, of course... :-)







and...



So there ya go. :-) Do any of You, do any sketching?

Some signs of Spring...

Spring life...

So, a lot happens in a couple of weeks, this time of year...



This little sweety is, for the second Spring in a row, the first plant to appear in local flowerbeds. I admire the Crocus because I have even seen it coming up beside little patches of old snow and ice. Talk about a pretty little tuffy! :-)

Then, out in an old abandoned farm-site, I came across my first little patch of Day Lilies for the year, which I sampled immediately. :-) These fantastic annuals can be prepared a number of ways and can even be eaten raw, in salads. Here, the tiny shoots are ready to eat on the hoof, which, I did! :-) It's great to see them coming up again, after that heavy winter we just lived through...



A few days later, my old friend and yearly Spring tonic ingredient, the Wild Leek, pushes it's way through the hardwood forest floor to begin it's new spring life cycle again...



These lovely little wild plants are well known all over the world as Ramps and there are even Ramp Festivals celebrated by hundreds every spring in many parts of the country, they're that good. :-) Have You been out there lookin' for your free fresh food feed yet? Are You, a Leek Hunter?

I'll be headin' out tomorrow for another gander out in the wilder ares of Ottawa to see what other choice wild foods have come up since I was out last...
