Pro Z the colors will not bleed onto the white....

Well we went, and was totally disappointed! And my hubby LOVES the sportsman shows....He wanted to buy some decent boots but there was none to be had, plus 5 vendors we bought from last year only one of them was there and he didn't know if he would come back.....Alot of the vendors was talking about the prices going up on the booths too, one owner said something about another Early Spring show in February was really good, said they would go there next year. We live about an hour north and by the time we went and back we spent 60.00 for food, gas, parking, and to get in......We decided we are not going next year......

Lorissa

May i put my 2 cents in?

If we did a boycott every 2 weeks on a different gas company it would get there attention.

As long as we allow them to do what they want ,when they want, then they will continue to raise prices.

They know very well people do not prepare and are spontaneous consumers. So if this was spread to enough people and we all buy our gas a few days before not the day before then it might be effective. But the fact is this, they will recover, just like they used the excuse of the fire to raise prices. It should not have effected the USA, but my friends said prices are outrageous there too.....Either way, the consumer loses, people best get back to the basics somewhere in the future we will have to do that.

Lorissa

Their are so many....

My daddy....he would get so tickled when i caught a fish, I could hear him tell people....As i I would say O Daddy...O Daddy....with that lil southern clip....

Someone I totally admire as the most giving humanitarian is and was Eleanor Roosevelt......

Then my newest partner, which we will go tomorrow....My husband.....who has taught me how to love

and of course my boyz and daughter.....

I will stop at that

Lorissa

We had a cat up until 4 weeks ago....We were both highly allergic to any pets especially cats and birds....Tried the allergy meds and turned out i was allergic to them too.....So now our cat is in South Texas with the in-laws they took our lil Mavus....

Lorissa

Okay now we are talking! I love wine and it goes good with fish! Hubby doesn't like fish so I get to eat all of em....He just likes to catch fish....I will tell him we are having company......

Lorissa

My husband being from around here has always traded with Randy's....but he wanted to try for White and lake fish this time.....Appreciate all the news....We will let you know which one....and how good it turned out

Lorissa

Hey thanx guys....looks like we will be going soon....

Lorissa

Hubby is now wanting to find a good Hut Operator with fast action fishing for whitefish and lake trout...possibly Lake Simcoe or at least in a 2 hour range of Keswick....

Thanx guys and gals....

Lorissa

I am like a kid...I get so excited, half the time I lose fish, we would probably have more.....I just know it is going to be the "BIG ONE"........Then I start giggling from the excitement.....Husband says it is a comedy to go fishing with me.....But when he caught the 11 inch fish, his eyes bugged out, he then stood up in the hut...was so excited....Will try to have pics soon.....

Lorissa

Sorry I have to get the film developed, which will be soon......

Lorissa

OmegaMan took me fishing today as a treat at one of our favorite vendors...Randy's Ice Huts (Port Bolster) We caught 122 perch in a half day, brought home 26....I caught a 12 inch perch with a 7.5 girth....there was 6 10-11 inch perches....8 9 inch perches....12 8 inch perches......we threw back 96 6-8 inch perches.....We had a great time was so busy the whole time but the first thirty minutes was slow....Some guys in another hut almost had a whitefish, about an 8 pounder....but got away....If you go tell them you heard it on OFC !!!

Lorissa reporting barely alive!

I just called to see how much ice was at Jackson's Point, checked with Bonnie's Boat rental...

Their is 8 inches of ice on Jackson's Point......

They also have good deals for day and half day fishing huts....

Mid-week is the best rates, very busy on Saturday's............

Lorissa

Going for your dreams

I was taught by my parents how to have a self-employed business...

In fact I just told my mom how much that small family business taught me skills to set the rest of my future.

My husband and I just got married a year ago, one thing attracted me is how he worked hard at a pool company and then repaired computers in the evening and weekends.

Well as of July 2006 I help convince him, I thought with careful budgeting, we could live off what he was making for repairs....

Right now we are able to pay the bills, maybe every once in awhile a dinner out....

But we are making it, and our business grew from 75 customers to now over 200 and still growing!

We can advise you on the best way to advertise and cost efficiency...In other words we learned the hard way

If you are good at whatever you do people will pay the extra to have a job done right....

Make sure you take time for yourself...and by all means

FISH! it relieves stress!

Lorissa...

hey it is better to vent on here rather than thoughts of dipping my you know who in you know what ice water to help him relieve his stress!

Whew I feel better now!

Thanx Gerritt!

lorissa

It is cold out there!

We caught 22 perch today, kept 2 that was 8 and 9 inches, took em home got em ready for the fry pan...Was delicious! We played in the snow on our toboggan too, i took a dump face first in the snow too....So we are going back out maybe Tuesday....

Has anyone heard how Port Bolster is doing?

Hope everyone did well, over the weekend.....Good Luck!

Priceless Fishing adventure!

What can u say we are still honeymooners!

Lorissa

I like walleye and bass

Husband likes a good fighting pike

Salmon was fun to catch this past year too....

But the most thrill I got was icefishing catching one after another....

Now if we could figure out how to get paid, let's say get paid 100,000 a year

I would the most loyal worker everyday!

Lorissa

Husband just came home and said radio announced the Tournament has been canceled to the thousands that come in, there may be ice but not solid enough to hold the many people, cars and such to support all of them. I will try to find some more information as soon as possible.

Lorissa

Here is the information, just go to this website....

Hi everyone!

We are going thru cabin fever right now, So thinking maybe we might go to Cooks Bay this Tuesday....

Is dock fishing doing any good right now, we have a private spot we go to....

Unless there is a better spot you might want to share....

Don't really want to risk the canoe, kind of gives me the heebie jeebies...........

Appreciate your input....

Maybe we might see some of you out there....
