fantastic report,,,, great pics wtg to the kids!

welcome aboard, eh

Business is slow..... write her a letter with your fondest memories of HER and the hopes and dreams you still have for the two of you... Congrats.

If all us old guys are using photobucket now,, it won;t be "kewl" much longer.... just ask my daughters

I have those too... because the fear ( and the nine stitches in my hand) from being bitten by a "jackfish" out on the prairies as a youngster is forever imprinted in my mind. I bought my "pike tools" at CT... cheap..

nice to see another Londoner posting on here... nice fish too, eh

I agree with you...

holy craaaaap !

nice report .. good idea for an "annual" trip with your daughter.....

the guy bought a bigger boat and motor.... unloading a 5.5hp sears motor cheap... with an 8foot cartopper boat.... any thoughts on the old sears motor... (we will be test running it in the river before I drop "all" the money on it.....

finally.... botbot and I have been waiting.... congrats to your daughter on her PB bass

it's a "feeling"..... gotta "feel" the hit....

London 9:58 pm..... Lord tundering jesoooz power went out.... tress are snapping and its raining buckets... my wife and daughters are in transit from Toronto as we speak...

we have had two dodge dakotas in our company lineup... a 99 and a 2001 both were V6... both sucked on fuel both had exorbitant repair bills for "goofy " stuff that should last longer than 80k.. examples: water pumps on both ball joints on both alternator on one power steering on one power steering pump on one.. when we got rid of the older one, we picked up a 2004 doge ram 1500- 4x4.... WORSE.... sucked on fuel.. big time the crazy thing is... when we traded the last one in... we picked up a used Grand Caravan..... more room.... quieter ride.... pulled our work trailer( 5x10 enclosed.. carrying tools and supplies for tile ad grout)with less "effort" than "the trucks"... go figure

London- 9:40pm Lots of lightning... very little rain... some thunder

Iwould love to take my wife fishing... but she likes "fishing" in malls in Toronto !
