wow what a day. We were in snow and a lot fewer fish over here

that's awesome! The bad news is you have to get the baby gates all over the house now, lock the cupboards etc etc etc. Our first one we were so excited to have him stand/walk...now after 4 kids my wife dreads when they get "mobile"...so much easier when they act like a lump!

one last shot at it tomorrow, then the boat gets put away

take a cruise. Plenty to do - you can be as busy or as lazy as you want. You'll always know (kind of) where the kids are at. If there's rain ahead they'll steer away from it. When the ship stops at an island fish from the pier!

infectious. Used to have a guy like that at work...best part of the day was listening to him laugh

motors pfft...real men paddle

ahhhh bottles of rum for like $4

memories of that one should keep you going until late June!

not sure what a dremel is but were you able to find it?

sweet grandmother's spatula that's a big bass (a little more Ron Burgundy for you)

I've sold quite a bit and bought a few things too. Get the "I want it I want it I want it" people who never show up or respond again, but if you can get over that bit of annoyance (which I do) it works great

count me among the compre fans. Have a couple of them in different lengths but for casting I like 8 footer, if its jerkbait maybe 7'6" so I'm not slapping the water all the time

pretty sure somebody posted the video here already about a week ago or 2

this is exactly the reason you DO want to go....weird + trying to dress up + bringing even weirder spouse + alcohol = recipe for disaster (aka great people watching)

boss's daughter? waitress who was serving? the guy who drives the forklift down in the warehouse?

first fish for that guy? poor son of a gun is now in for a life of dissapointment if he keeps on fishing...I'm sooo glad all my fish are puny so I have something to beat

..great caesar's ghost (or other Ron Burgundy statement of exclamation) what a fish!

those are some beauts! nice catch.

somebody's gonna need a lot of loonies

just back your beater into his vehicle and call it even

too late, didn't end up bringing the boat. Good luck to everyone who gets out there

try a search on this board. I seem to recall someone last year or the year before posting all kinds of smallies through the ice

I've ice fished at our cottage near Parry Sound regularly around Dec 15, but I think we'll be a bit behind that this year. Dec 27 for Cooks Bay

ya I did smile while I was typing that one

"I would not want to be the people living here" she says. Did you see the homes?? Shoot the dang bird and move in, gorgeous neighbourhood. Probably a guard bird to keep fowl-fearing fruitcakes out
