It's not his fault. We ALL know farts are funny, unless you're in the direct line of fire or trapped in an elevator and you're not the one releasing the beast.

A lot of things apply to this question. How comfortable are you with the equipment you have. What is your comfort level with the lake when it's rolling, (size of the waves. Some can handle 4-5 ft waves or more, others can't) but a general rule of thumb when it comes to overall safety no matter what it is that you're doing is, when in doubt, DON'T.

it was the thought that counted anyway
Very impressive @Trevor M
especially the first 
and last photo!! The @Red Hering will eventually meet up with you on the Port Bruce pier,and not likely till sometime in July,because I plan on fishing for smallmouth bass for the next few weeks,once the bass season opens up this saturday,June 26/21. Please save me some Port Bruce perch!!

I'd like to take the credit for catching that walleye, but the only part I played in that was netting it for her. I'm still waiting for it to be my turn to nail a walleye off the pier, I've helped land enough of them over the past few years that I gotta be due right? As for saving you some perch, you're the one with the boat, not me, and while I know where to go to try for'em, I can't cast that far.Very impressive @Trevor M
The window for getting them off the pier in any size and numbers usually closes by the end of the second week of July. I'm hoping that this year with the water being lower, and still being colder than it normally is at this time of the year that they'll maybe be around a little longer than that, especially since so far this year they really haven't come in yet in any size or numbers. Couple decent days but not close to being like it was even last year, evidenced by those 3 skunks I found this year so far, and as I've said, while not unheard of, it is unusual for that to happen in June. Usually even if the perch aren't playing nicely, the sheephead, white perch, silver bass, gobies, and others are around to keep you occupied, steal your bait, and annoy you.

The one's I save for others generally stay in the lake until the next time I get out to try again Gord. That way I know where I left'em.
As I've said in past years, I don't LOSE fish, I just leave'em in the lake for next time.My dad was giving me a hard time for not having caught anything yet when my parents came to visit me on the pier yesterday, I just looked at him and said, "you're just upset because you know IF I don't catch'em, that means you don't get any this year."

I hear ya there. That's how I feel about not going today. My dad was kind of hinting yesterday that he wanted me to go fishin again today and that he might come down and join me on the pier if I did because mom had other plans today. I told him that I wasn't going today because of what the weather sites I look at were saying for today, (20+ winds out of the south with stronger gusts) So I didn't go and stayed home doing things I didn't want to do that could have been put off until
.....well until I felt like doing them and then the winds never really seemed to pick up at all, I see a couple posts from today and am kind of kickin myself for not going because I'm not really sure when I'll be able to go next week yet, but more importantly than that, I feel bad that I told him I wasn't going because of what it was supposed to do today because it's rare for my dad to even make the suggestion that he might come down and put a line in for a while.But, I always have a second rod with me just in case for two reasons, 1) in case my parents show up on the pier and he wants to put a line in, and 2) in case there's a problem with my 'favorite' rod that I use all the time. (ie a mechanical problem, although that hasn't happened yet and I've had that rod for 25+ years now, the oldest rod I own I've had for 35 years but I only really bring it when my wife says she'll come with me because it's the one she prefers to use.)

is our flag half mast in that tug picture @Red Hering?LOL!!Again!! @stomp !!

Well Red, said it before, will say it again, as goes Price, so go the Canadiens. He's playing up to that title of being "the best goalie in the world today," and they've earned their spot in the Stanley Cup Final. (yes it pains me to say thatLOL!!
) Do I want them to win it. NOPE. Do I think they'll win it. NOPE, especially if Tampa wins tomorrow night against the Islanders in game 7 of that series. But, I've said it before, while I'll NEVER bet on them.......I'll never bet against them again either (learned that lesson in '86 and haven't forgotten it.)
Yes,@Smok'n Bat'r the flag is flying at half mast in that tug picture for numerous of reasons. Hopefully the flag will be flying back up high again one day,especially if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup!!
