Nice work boyz!!! When I see these weekday reports it really has me missing the shifts I used to work...when I could get out through the week myself. Glad you guys had a good day.

Just where might I find this magical stuff?

Love my 2002 VW Golf. But since winter number one with it I have had problems with the doors freezing shut. A mild wet spell followed by a quick cold snap and water freezes onto the weather stripping across the top of the door. When it is really bad I have to pour hot water on it just so I can open the door.....then towel it off real quick....PITA... it is. Anyone out there have the same problems? And if so how do you remedy it? Any and all help would be appreciated. Regards, Steve

Take that mixture and market it....and whatever you do....don't change the name!!!

Hardwater rules!!!! Fish 12 months of the year....but I do LOVE the HARD STUFF!!! Dress warm.... and the rest is just plain fun.

Dishing my wimmins muzak iz one thing....but calling me old!!!! If you wuz a hockey player I'd pull the bucket off your head and jersey you!!! JK...take care.....

No Dawg I'm not! Not a Disco freak by a lonnnngggg shot. But I do remember listening to this stuff while fixing up my bathroom. Debbe's tunes....she liked/likes Culture Club as well! Just took me back that's all. If I had my druthers I'd be playin Young/Prine/Croce/Harry Chapin/old springsteen/Dylan....that's my vein.

Man oh man...oh oh oh aaho oha oha... how can you sit still for that one? 22 and just married when that one came out. Funny I remember refinishing my bathroom in my first house listening to this and fleetwood mac...tell me lies. Thx for the memories!!! Gotta download off limewire now!!!

Well at least now I know your secret.

I'm having difficulties with the scroll up part. Is there an instructional video for this program? Or any specialized equipment I need?

Fish are smarter creatures then we give them credit for. So my comments are generally related to when the fish hits. Like "Nice of you to show up now" which is generally spoken when I'm either fiddling with some tackle or clothing issues. Or "dude" which is a standard response saved for those extra special hits. You know...the ones you get while fuming over the worst birdsnest human eyes have ever seen or trying to pour a coffee with cold fingers in a rocking boat or my personal FAV...while taking a whizz. And not just any whizz...it's ALWAYS the whizz where you took forever to just get the layers of cloths off..your sweating from the effort..the stream just starts...and them WHAM!!!! Those little buggers know when you have your guard down.

How'd he get a fish on a lure still in the package

Yep it was a good day. Great company, great hosts and a sunny beautiful day at a beauty spot. Nice to meet you Bill and thx for posting the pics...I gotta show an interest in figuring that out sometime. Anytime anyone wants to plan a day out there again I would be more then happy to tag along.

Beauty day out there for sure. Always a pleasure Beansie and Cliff and nice to meet you for the first time Bill. What a gem of a lake. Couldn't have been more then a dozen huts on THE WHOLE LAKE...and no portables ANYWHERE. No sleds roaring around...it was great. Fishing could have been better...but we had a beauty day and the company was 1st rate. I would go back to this place in a heart beat. Thx guys for a great day on the hardwater.

19.4. No clue...but I googled for a fair guess.

Did anyone else see the albino pidgeon in Cliff's last post?

I've been waiting for a post from you. AHHHHHH ...I've had my New Year's fix now. Should be good for a couple weeks now...before the twitching and drooling starts again!

WHAT???? I plan on smoking....SMOKING the walleye...that is. 4 more sleeps to go!!!

Well I have boots rated for -100 and I still get cold toes every once in awhile. If you are at all serious about getting out on the ice regularly or for extended periods of time...I wouldn't recommend anything less then -100 rated. My 2 cents....

I get both. But I tend not to get as many crappie. However I think this has more to do with how I jig. I jig fairly constantly and often aggressively,which I think crappie in general do not like. They seem to prefer a more gentle lift and drop slowly type of presentation...in my experience anyway. When I fish the BOG I am after EYES, so I jig for them. However when I do get crappies and even perch, they tend to be better sized ones.

I have never done well on Scugog with a set line and a minnow. Always get way more fish jigging...but I always tip with a piece of minnow. If you use a whole minnow you miss alot of fish because they grab the minnow and not the hook. So my normal routine now is to buy minnows Jan 1st for the opener and keep them in a pail in my cold cellar with a fish tank bubbler to give them oxygen or you can just change the water once a week or so . Make sure you get stuff at a pet store to get the chlorine out of the water first.A bottle lasts years. When it is time to go fishing I scoop out 3-4 minnows and cut them into 1 inch chunks. The dace I get at the Causeway usually give you 3 pcs per minnow... the head,the middle section and the tail. I put the 9-12 chunks in a small plastic container that fits in my floater suit pocket and I'm good to go. Don't have to stop for minnows again or have the inconvenience and weight of lugging a bucket of minnows around. If I don't use up all the chunks that night and am going again soon, I just throw the container in the fridge when I get home. Works good for me and 2 dozen minnows always gets me through the 3 weeks I fish up there. P.S. The head chunks stay on the hook the best. Followed by the tail chunks. I use the middle chunks up first when the bite is not on. When the eyes turn on I switch to the chunks that stay on the hook the best. Good luck when you get out.

Rich my go to bait for perch on Simcoe is #2 sized jigging rap's tipped with a neon pink power wiggler on the treble.. My fav colours are firetiger and parrot. Also chartruse with the red throat. Haven't used minnows on Simcoe for years. Good luck at getting bit!!!!

That looks like a meal fit for a king! Our son is currently seeing a young lady from Australia. He has said there lamb is to die for. Having never tried lamb, I am racking my brains trying to figure out a way to get an invite over for supper.

bubbly with a 0 rating. you knowz your stuff. Debbe and I had a nice steak with our 2nd last Acorn squash from my garden prepared with carmalized shallots and a touch of brown sugar and some steamed broccoli with a light almond/garlic sauce. Served with a bottle or 2 of our Fav homemade red. Nothing fancy but a fitting ending to 2008. Happy 2009 to all.

May everyone's 2009 be filled with Health, Happiness and FISH I have asked the man upstairs not to skimp on any of the above.
