To say the least,the ice is going away very fast and if your are foolish enough to go out there,then you deserve what you get. As for the spring and mates Thier starting to pair up. Love is in the air. These teo poor fellas are still looking. I found a friend that wanted to play peek a boo on the tree.LOL I finally tagged him out.

Funny you mention that J. All of a sudden, at our plant(which is a feeder plant) production has picked up.Mostley due to the new upcoming line of veichles for Honda. It,s us that work in the industry,know whats going on.Dont let the media mess with yer minds.Yes it,s slower then norm,but it is getting back.SLOWLY.

Steve, I dont see much happening for awhile.Myself, I will be looking at a new truck this June.Dirt cheap from what I have been hearing ,and the gas will always be up and down. So hows the work outs going bud? Been swimming all week.Great workout.Up at 5 am and swim from 6 til 7.

Another saying for that is "cleaning house"

Dead,is what they will be ,if they dont take thier pay cuts.

Now Steve,stay off them darn wings bud.Hope thats light beer BTW. LOL I was going to start a CAW/CRYSLER POST,BUT GUESS FOLKS CARE MORE FOR THE BIG BUCKS AND NOT THIER JOBS FOR A LIFE.

Im sure Wayne would be willing to add some trout to his pool and even have a turkey fry. It seems they think this will solve thier problems.NOT. So if I,m going to pay a fee,can I rip up the grass? CASH GRAB ,just like Essa.

Great stories Tom and Nomad.

Thanks for that Norm.

I give up.

They have a great selection right now Ben. Worth a look at thier web site. Very clean.

A quick shower,will fix that.

Well heres mine, til this day,I will never forget it. Fishing a weeks holiday on lake Weslacoom with my parents and grandfather and uncle Del. Pop and I ,and my granfather and uncle Del, head out for an evening of bass fishing. We traveled pretty much the whole lake that week and my grandfather says lets try this particular island. Now you have to picture this in yer mind. Theres this big boulder thats up against the island with 2 smaller ones. Behind it,is some water. You know ,the area where you wouldnt even think about throwing yer bait to.Well Gandad says, throw that Beno in there Brian. I look at pop and say no way,I,ll loss my lure forsure.Grandad say watch. He flicks the rod and in goes his bait. Wham,fish one. I say what????????????? I throw in there right after he pulls his fish out and ,wham again.He throws again and wham.I throw and wham again.Can you believe it,we pulled 6 fish from that spot. Amazing. Thats one time I wish I could live over again and again. There was this other one,it will make you L Y A O. Same week. Pop and I go out and fish some pads. As were leaving the area,I make a long cast behind the boat with a jidder bug. As were slowly pulling away,I get a hit,pull and almost took my pops ear off. Some how,my line got limp and got looped around his ear.( IM LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF RIGHT NOW TYPING THIS) I yank back to set the hook and all I hear is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WELL YA KNOW. I missed the fish,but like then,I cant stop laughing at this. Memories.Thier hard sometimes,but sure glad you started this thread. I need to go and dry these tears of joy.

Boys and thier toys. Dodge aint got nothing on this. Shelby still got it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,RIGHT. I still love the super bee though.

NOT, Stay alive for another season.

Well I watched Global and there was nothing.????????

Although spoon fishing is something of a lost art in many places, Len Thompson's Five of Diamonds - The Lure of the North - is every bit as effective today as it ever was. Trolled, cast, even vertically jigged - no matter the species - this classic lure has earned a place in every angler's tackle box. "Anyone fishing without a Five of Diamonds isn't playing with a full deck !" - Ken Schultz, Field & Stream A Canadian fishing tradition since 1929, the Len Thompson spoon - and in particular the Five of Diamonds - has probably caught as many fish as any lure ever designed. First fashioned from car springs and sold on consignment, Len Thompson spoons have, over the years, legitimately earned the title "The Lure of the North". - so much so, that this entire series based on classic Canadian fishing lures was inspired by the Len Thompson spoon and the Thompson-Pallister Bait Co. slogan. Rivaling Eppinger's classic red and white Dardevle as the most productive fishing spoon of all time, the Len Thompson Five of Diamonds is a fixture in every serious angler's tackle box. Actually, the Five of Diamonds is a colour pattern (YR model - yellow & red), rather than a lure design and is believed to have been inspired in the late '40's by the playing card pattern. First offered for sale in 1950, the Five of Diamonds only recently became the company's best seller. Now available in a variety of sizes and shapes, this fishing lure icon has proven itself worldwide for dozens of species of sportfish. Out of Lacombe, Alberta, the family-run Thompson-Pallister Bait Company is now managed by Len Thompson's grandson (3rd generation), Rick Pallister. Approximately 2/3 of a million lures are produced annually - punched, polished, deburred, and hand painted. Until his death in 1979, Len Thompson himself actually attached the split rings and treble hooks to the Five of Diamonds.

Ol red would be proud.

Oh chill,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ol fella.
