Just read this and it looks like some good news. Formation of the Canadian Professional Anglers Association Announced The Canadian Professional Anglers Association (CPAA) is proud to announce its formation as of April 19th, 2007. Over 70 dedicated anglers attended the inaugural meeting at Bass Pro Shops last Thursday in a standing-room-only atmosphere, and showed overwhelming support, enthusiasm and a positive attitude towards the Association. The CPAA consists of like-minded anglers who support and compete in multi-day, high-exposure, high-payback Pro/Am fishing events as Professional Anglers. Members of the newly-formed Association have committed themselves to elevating the profile and exposure of both the sport of tournament bass fishing and the dedication of the Pro anglers who make the sacrifices required to compete. In addition to promoting tournament fishing and anglers, the CPAA will promote “best practices” for fish care and the environment. Community and children’s projects will become a focus and open the door to improving relations with all fellow users of the resource. The CPAA’s immediate goal is to aid and support the re-establishment of a full time, televised Pro/Am bass circuit in Canada. Members of the Association strongly believe that the Pro/Am format is essential to the growth of tournament fishing as it provides great value to the Pro’s, co-anglers, sponsors and fans. The Canadian Professional Anglers Association was formed in order to bring tournament anglers and its partners a long needed unified voice. Part of the CPAA’s mandate is to help its members improve themselves as fishing professionals off the water. It will provide members with media exposure, opportunities to fish special events, education on the business side of fishing and a foundation of credibility and professionalism within the industry. Adherence to a professional code of conduct, best of breed sportsmanship and a genuine desire to improve all aspects of the sport are requisites for prospective members to the Association. Members will work in harmony with sponsors, manufacturers and communities to become co-beneficiaries of any CPAA action. The Board of Directors responsible for laying the foundation for this association includes: Chris Tieber, Mike Smith, John Noel, Edmund Wong, Charles Sim, Les Zacny and Charles Nahm Associate Board members will include representatives from association partners. Advisors to the board include: Tom Brooke, Wayne Izumi, Dave Mercer. The CPAA’s website and membership application will be available on-line in the coming week.

Terry dont forget,I HAVE FISHED WITH YOU. You are a little slow,now set that hook.LOL Yes it is VERY SLOW.

Sorry I also meant to thank Lew and Terry for thier support.

Twenty five years,man where has the time gone. Today betty and I reached a milestone of 25 years married . We have put off the celibration til later(thank you Wayne for your words) due to we buried the man that was my fishing buddy of all time today . My grandfather. I guess maybe it was a way of him to always remind me of him, but how could I forget the man that taught me along with my father. He now is in a better place with my grandmother who has been gone since 1978. I can see them now embrassed and that to me, is the one true satisfaction I will take from his passing. Like I was told today,he is gone and not coming back,but is waiting for us to come to him. Im in no hurry,but I truely am looking forward to it.

WOW What a run of suckers. DONT TELL ANYONE

If I may and nothing against the rebuilders,whats a new one worth? True and blue to run true, out of the box,also,ever thought of going SS? Man thats nasty.

Guess what I,ll be checking out before the weekend. Glad yer safe and still good to go Cliff.

The boat launch is a good place to hit. Lots of docks to fish from. Try fishing by the Legion.

TERRY

As far as the herring go,they are on a great rebound. All you have to do is head out in june and you will see them in large numbers on your screen. I dont know how many I caught the last couple of years,They are coming back,will they come back in huge numbers like in the 70,s/80,s? Only time will tell,but the closing of them,seems to be working. Cutting back on limits will allow for the future.

Im sure you will get your answer here Justin. spark plugs

I believe I seen you guys roll in to the launch. The wife and I were down for a walk. Sounds like you got a great catch. Yes it is nice to have the launch only minutes away from the drive.

Thank you for this bud................................................................ To know me! I am a fisherman for life. I will always be a fisherman. It's not something I do; it's who I am. Fishing is not an escape. It is where I belong, where I am supposed to be. It is not a place, but a life long journey. It is a passage my grandfather showed me, and I will show others. When you understand all of this, You will know me, and we will fish together.

I know I said I would not personally TTT with this thread,but it has taken another love one from me last night. My grandfather,passed away. Some here know the battle/suffering he has had and I am just ttt to get your help. He is in a greater place now,in the arms of his wife.It has been along time since they were together. Granddad I love you and please watch over me and the rest of our family. AMEN

Right behind the driver Wayne

And I feel so GGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD. Just need a new cranking battery. ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM

I believe I said HELPPED the population.

Maybe check out the docks and marinas that surround Simcoe, before stating what you did. Yes the ice season makes it more exccessable sp?,but there are many that fish the shore lines and docks and marinas during the spring.summer and fall months.
