Paul and I exchanged a few PMs this weekend. He has shown himself to be a real class act and I want to appologize publicly for ranting about him... To everyone that called me a Jerk, a idiot, and a Troll...."Up yers"! Dax

Thanks Craig. Bully, the lenses fit, including the Tamron. Victor, they are auto-focus lenses...And they work.

I have a few lens that fit my old 35mm Cannon,(Tamron 28-200, Canon 75-300) they do fit the new Canon DSLR I bought my Wife...But I know theres a difference between them and modern lens designed for Digital. Can one of you Photography experts explain it to me?

And a safe and fish-filled New Year!!!

Ouch! Luckily Ice fishing sucks...And you'll be recovered by the time the real fishing season is here! Take it easy Ronnie, drink lots of Grand Marnier, well, not too much...

probably do a few trips...Course, living in the Niagara Area where there's some of the best fishing in the world why drive too far?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thats Awesome Lew! You will be very happy there I'm sure! I love the Garage!

What, you call them big?!

I think comparing Canon to Nikon is like comparing Yamaha to Honda 4 strokes...Can't go wrong with either. Thanks for the help, I bought the Canon XSi.

Thinking of getting my Wife an entry level DSLR for Xmas...Anyone have any insight into these two cameras?

Lots of nice fish!

Thanks for understanding the constructive critism, keep at it!

Nice fish, great post!

Nice cover....

There's a man talking on the radio What he's saying I don't really know Seems he's lost some stocks and shares Stops and stares He's afraid I know That's the way it goes There's a man talking of the promised land He'll aquire it with some Krugerrand Subdivided and deal it out Feel his clout He can stoop so low And that's the way it goes There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill Sees a shining city on a hill Step up close and see he's blind Wined and dined All he has is pose And that's the way it goes There's a fire that burns away the lies Manifesting in the spiritual eye Though you won't understand the way I feel You conceal, all there is to know That's the way it goes

Awesome report! Beautiful Smallies!

Nice fish, please call them floats!

I know JB's carries Okuma Muskie rods...

done

One of the reasons I hesitate to give tips to inexperienced Muskie anglers is that they'll go out and catch one with 0 idea how to handle one! They are just fish to most people! To those of us that target them we do our best to handle them gently...They look big and mean but they are very fragile creatures, prolonged fights on too light tackle, too long out of the water, mishandling(verticle holds,laying on floor of boat to flop around) can all contribute to a dead fish. A 48"er from Pigeon could be 20 years old and is a trophy fish! Congrats on your first(BIG) Muskie and I'm glad you let her go! If you are going to continue to target them, please school yourself on the best way to handle these important fish, and the best equiptment to do so. Again, nice fish and congrats! Here is an example of why we use a big Muskie net....Fish resting comfortably after hooks have been removed. All the right landing equipment, Muskie net, hook cutters,longnose pliers,jaw spreaders Dax Jacklin Chairman, Hamilton Chapter of Muskies Canada www.muskiescanada.ca
