Ahhh... upbeat as always!! Hey... Squid!! Good luck... now if they only had diet beer..... (well maybe they do.. but I aint drinkin' that!) Im sure you'll be ok!

Looks like its supposed to break to normal temps tomorrow afternoon here.

Ya first real cold snap we've had like this in a few years, we've been spoiled. My dad use to tell me it was -60 when he walked to the one room unheated school uphill with only one boot. ahh the good ole days. So were in better shape than that,,, they cancelled the buses here for the second day in a row, with exams supposed to be starting tomorrow.

LOL...

Wow.. id say thos are pretty nice!

Id bet your right. I worked a summer on lake of the woods, but from what ive seen, if were in your shoes id go to lac seul.. but like everyone as they are both good choices fr large pike and like a muskie at the same time. Maybe pony up and get Ben to guide you.. http://ontariofishingnetwork.com/2012/lac-seul-fall-muskie-trip-fishing-with-ben-beattie/ Sorry we coulnd't be of more help. Are you staying at a lodge or will you be camping??

Ok.. so im thinking that.. there's a lack of oxygen under the ice, and once the hole is opened up and the water starts to flow.. the fish start following the current in search of more oxygenated water, and follow the school right up the hole???

EZ Now Fellers.. lol

..and they have the stricktest gun laws on the planet... whats your point?? Only a select few that can drive a race car should have a licence.... dahhh,. I said I wasnt gonna argue lol. What??? Someone wants to take away our guns??? Who?? Ok OK .. im really done this time... everybodys got an opinion.. you'll have a hard time changing mine. (Still its been a reasonable thread lol)

One.. an old .22 which id give up in a heartbeat. And it doesn't have a 30 round clip. Never saw it necessary... if you cant crank that bolt action fast enough, then your not familiar enough with your own firearm. All my bird guns are single shot... 'cept for the ol ladys double barrel.. cause shes not as good a shot as me... Why thank you! I agree automatic weapons are already banned - I think the thing that is the real isssue is the magazine sizes.. a semi with a large mag is probably more dangerous than an auto cause you can take your time. You see its time that people need in order to escape these situations. I really don't want to argue.. but that's like saying you may as well remove all the speed limits on the highways so people can all drive as fast as they want to. There has to be a limit. Ya don't see nascar on the highways... Im not saying take away the guns, im saying lets be reasonable about whats necessary to own in a civilized society. Thats all me has gots to say.

LOL.. Spiel must have been there... his kids look just like him... Looks like it would be great to watch.. ive got netflix!

Great pic of the crossing of the lake.

Wow... nice work.

I've always run my "family": with the same question. "Does that seem reasonable to you??" I own a good 15 rifles for hunting. I love guns and I love hunting. Does it seem reasonable for me to own a gun that's specifically made for war?? Not to me. Would it be cool to have one.. sure, is it reasonable.. no. Not in Canada.. I can drop a deer on the run (lol at least I used to...) with my hunting rifle, so anyone that needs a m-16 type rifle, really just needs more practice..lol. Our US friends in my opinion are a different matter altogether. We hear the stats that there are more guns in the US than citizens, so its easy for us to judge that they should be more like us, when clearly the situation is very different. I don't know what the solution's are, but Im pretty sure its not MORE guns. There is a huge US subculture out there that's VERY paranoid about the government taking away their rights and them not being able to defend themselves. In Canada were are very lucky, we can sweep one government out and another in in a landslide in about 6 weeks. Happens all the time.. and i mean landslides sometimes. Their system is not set up to do that (I'm not saying our system is any better) The number of guns already available makes the whole situation difficult. BUT there's no point in not trying.. Under the republicans there already was a ban on the sales of these firearms. Anyway BACK to the topic of this thread... The show is a private event so Kudos to the organizers for taking a stand against something they obviously do not believe in and kudos to the vendors who disagree and will not attend. Just like this board, you can CHOOSE not to be a part of the community if it doesn't fill your needs. And arguing about it... well, if your arguing with someone whose mind you will never change, you're just yelling.

LOL.. Thanks guys... I ordered in a slightly smaller treble,

Sweet Vid!!

Ya.. reddit gets a lot of use... some one re posted one of my stories.. i got really good traffic off it for days...

Thats a fact.. the zoo board. That was the first real Ontario Fishing Forum if I recall.

Maybe bigger trebles would be good... who wants to test them??

Maybe I could market them as having "Oversized hooks.. so bigger fish will bite!"

ah as always words of wisdom... ... thanks .. now I gotta buy a bunch of tad small er trebles..

im hearing smaller treble as well??

OK.. so I've been spending a bunch of time putting stuff together for my new store launch (sometimes in the next couple of weeks) I'm concentrating on ice fishing stuff to start, so here is my question... Where would you put the treble hook.. with the eyes up or down??? LOL

To bad you can use the gps feature like i do everytime i lood my phone. Ie "GPS my Huy!" Good luck Cliff I lost mine once, was a 1/4 mile away.

Great post Rob! Its your winning personality that keeps your clients coming back!
