FisherJuli

FishLogic: I think you're going to enjoy it very much! Bob and Sondra are great hosts, the fishing opportunities are endless, and the 'sunset tv' can't be beat! (and very important: the chippie's name with the mangey tail is Chip-Chip... but, don't leave your Frutopia outside in a glass... apparently it's his drink of choice!) Ryan: you can get cabin 3 and the kids can stay with us any time!! We'd have a blast! Rick: I'm considering a portable drive for gigs of pics as we speak!! Great feedback, guys! Thanks!!! I can't wait for be more run at Happy Day in August!!!

I have a T3 and I love it- it takes great 1080 HD video, and I am very happy with my pics. Look for a lens bundle if you can- different vendors will sometimes offer a couple of lenses to sweeten the deal. My old T1 fell in a live well, and while I hated to replace it, the quality of this camera impresses me much more than the old one. I have no complaints!

Great news to hear... Happy 28th birthday, Jen!!!! She just keeps on inspiring us!

Maybe next time I can catch something more like that on LPB!! They look delicious!!!

He's a handsome young man that you are clearly very proud of from your stories... And we are thinking positive thoughts and prayers for his healthy recovery. Stay strong, Simon and family, and we look forward to your updates.

MrSimon- definitely, we have always enjoyed Dylan's company ... in fact, on our first visit two years ago, he had the boys packed up in a golf cart and touring the property before we had our stuff unpacked! We found a couple bruiser pike in Windermere (in some rocky back bays if I recall correctly) and enough little guys near the beaver dams anywhere we went! See you with Frankie65 in July! :-)

Hehehe... Well, I can't promise anything, but as always I work hard to give him a run for his money! ( and he loves every minute of it!!) :-)

Nice post- looks like fun for the kids, and you got a yummy catch, too!! Now, I'm really itching to ice fish his weekend!!

I would like to catch: Gar (never tried... Would be fun!!) Whitefish (they elude me so far... And I have tried!) Of course something exotic - Arctic Char, tuna, peacock bass... Would be a hoot, too!! We caught Burbot last year ice fishing on Nipissing (fun to catch!)... They ARE delish boiled (like lobster) with butter and garlic, but thank heavens Frankie65 knew how to clean and filet it or I would have been out of luck!

Very nice fish- and it's cool to see that much ice already! I'm inspired... Bring on the freeze!! :-)

Everyone should watch that video to put our aches and pains in to perspective (me included!!). In fact, everyone should watch it to 1) see just what your daughter can accomplish every single day, and the inspiring levels of her challenge and 2) to appreciate how these folks make the best of their handicaps. The human spirit is a stubborn beast... proven there!! This girl has some spunk... wow! Keep it up!!!!

Nice work, Rick!! G-man just gets bigger and better, huh?! I still think that we need to get you ice fishing... Your winters will pass quicker, and you won't cringe when someone says the word 'winterized'. Great video- we can revisit those warm days and big beauties when the snow flies!

Thanks, guys- that fish was the biggest blast in the world. Sorry, SlowPoke for not providing ear plugs!!! The day was fantastic, the fish was super-duper, the company was ridiculously funny.... It was a great day. I got a pb like I could never have imagined. That's soooo cool, I am still grinning like a dorkus!!!

I am sure these little bits of positive news are a welcome sign, to say the least. Tell her to keep up the great work!!
