Like Lew said, Be careful I went through this a couple years ago but in the right arm - my symptons were very severe. Had to go to Emergency room at 2 am it was so bad but exactly as you describe. Armpit down to the 2 small fingers were on fire with pain. ER doctor told me pinched nerve as well as my family doctor 2 days later. Symptons never lessened. Went for a 3rd opinion and it turned out to be complete C5-6-7 disc rupture. I ended up seeing a neck specialist and then on to a neuro-surgeon and asked a ton of questions When you get into the doctor make him/her listen and question them about possible neck strain/injuries. If the 2 small fingers tingle like they have fallen asleep that is a sign you might be dealing with a disc compression. I'm no doctor but after going through what I did I spent a lot of time learning about this to make sure I was making the right choices.

The ones he calls hand ties

congrats on your choice, its a wonderful experience something a lot of people don't get. The course is mainly focused on saftey aspects of gun handling. You'll go through most of the basic firearm types and actions and the safe handling for each. Review of hunting regs and some game identification. In terms of a good starter gun here's where opinions rule. I'd say if you were to buy 1 gun and make it work for deer (buckshot and/or slug) as well as upland game and waterfowl the 12 gauge is a good choice all round. For me though I prefer a 16 or 20 gauge. If you can find a combo 12 gauge that comes with a rifled slug barrel even better. Watch Shooters choice web site for used guns. They have a nice Browning Auto 5 and a Remington 870 express combo and supposed to have a big boxing week sale.

Nice tracks. Some of the biggest deer I have ever seen have been at Erindale Park on the Credit River. Was driving on 401 Thursday at lunch and a really big buck was standing on the edge of the Etobicoke Creek ravine at the airport. If you could only bow hunt inside city limits!

Tradition in my family Green Bean Casserole. Many recipes on the web but make sure it calls for dried onions.

With 2007 being my 20 year anniversary at work I was very suprised recently when they handed me a package to look through. Expecting only a letter and possible a small momento (as was done in the past) , I was very pleased to find inside the envelope a voucher for $350 in gift cards. All I had to do was log on to this website and pick from a large selection of participating companies. Didn't have to get to far down the list when I see Bass Pro Shops, Home Depot, CTC, Future Shop among a number I like to spend money at!!!! Picked a couple EB Games, Body Shop cards for the kids and wife and still leaves me with $200 at BPS burning a hole in my pocket. Anyone wanna skip off work and go shopping??

I think you've you've still got room for a satelitte radio and a couple of speakers

Jiffy's worth every penny Don't see too many operators up north using anything else. That being said my buddy bought the 8" Strikemaster at BPS - Gonna give that one a work out this year We always have the 6" normark manual as back up

Don't need to lower can/jar down at all. Once "salted" the minnows swim straght down and will struggle around the bottom right below the hut. Mind you the deeper the water, the more the minnows will spread out

Wayne 25-50 will do most of the year on Temagami, On a good bit I do tighten them up Up around north arm theres lots of sand/muck bottom and we run the diving plugs a little longer to make sure they're ticking bottom I run a lot longer (100+) in the spring when we set riggers at 5-25ft deep

GB That is very cool. I forgot all about this A buddy and I used to fish with Danny Hale and his dad when they ran their huts on Simcoe. They used to do this in the hut with an old mason jar. They called it East Coast Minnows Actually brought back a few nice memories

I don't use one that often but a while back picked up an Optex 255. Aluminum legs and good and solid. Bought it on sale at Vistek for $45 http://www.vistek.ca/details/results.aspx?...nsumer%20Tripod They have a real good selection of above amatuer tripods

fished lake temagami for years here's what we tend to stick with For chum take raw spaghetti and break into peices about 1/2-1" long, Then cook. Drain and place pasta in a freezer bag. I usually then add 3-4 drops of yellow food coloring. Drill holes in a likely spot, I like flat deep basins 70ft or more with soft or sand bottoms. In each holes take about 1/2 cup of chum and drop into hole. Break up pasta so it sinks as seperate pieces. I like salted minnows for whitefish. Buy 5-6 dozen small shiners and drain water out completely. Add 1-2 cups of rock salt. I even used road slat in a pinch and it worked. Fish salted minnow right on bottom on a 2 way spreader and tip up. I even had decent luck using small trout/salmon roe bags

You can actually search the LCBO site for all the brands http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/ProductResultsController I like the Balenvie Portwood 1991 and I have a bottle of 15 yr old Genlivet waiting for some friends to come over

Very nice SP If you're off Dec 13th-14th and looking for a river buddy let me know. Rides on me!

ICE can't remember fully what boat you bought and what trolling motor. Does it come with 12V and 24V options. You're running a 115HP which would indicate a 17+ft boat and wondering what lb trolling motor. If the trolling motor has 24V set up option defintitely go that route and forget tying into the starting battery with an isolator. A starting battery and trolling motor battery are quite different in amp ratings. Run 2-12V for 24V. You can fish all weekend and instead of the isolator get an onboard charger

With the offshores buy the OR 18 Snapper releases. They are worth every penny especially with lead core

Keep yer bill and set it up in the back yard a t least 10 times before going fishin. Moose and I bought these last year and poles broke on both of ours first 1-2 trips Nice hut otherwise and hope Moose and I got the lemons

Nice Wayne can you open its mouth and blast a little foam sealant inside. Would make a heck of a top water bait

Ya I hear ya Wayne. Every couple of years I would spend news year on Lake Temagami and make a few trips into the backs lakes on Jan 1 (if able) for lakers. Looks like they closed up all lakes to match Lake Temagami LT season now. Heck of a shock to the lodges that opened for Jan1 season. They lose 6 weeks business for lake trout. I realize Whitefish and walleye are still open but lakers are where the coin is.

weed gaurds like the one on the flies posted are usually tied with 20lb or heavier mono. I tie mine with Flouro just for an added touch. Take a 4-6 inch length of heavy mono and tie it on the body as if you wanted to make it a long tailwith it. Then tie the fly as per normal and finish up to the head. Before cutting the thread bring the tag end of the mono (sticking out as the long tasil piece) up to the eye of the hook and secure with a few more wraps of thread. Cut thread and expoxy the head wrappings I usually wrap the mono weed gaurd further down the bend in the hook so the line gets pointed in the right direction to follow the hook.

Cannons get my vote too. I've used Big Jons and Scottys a number of times on friends boats. I bought 2 Mag 10's in 1989 and they are still working great. There are faster and cheaper ones out there but if I ever have to buy another, I'll spend my money on Cannons IMO spend the money and get electric

cruel report I spent all day xmas shopping. Very nice crappie
