read the article, it's all there in black and white.

I did. I guess I just don't have time to organize a search party to find his point.

Carry on.

Lots of ways to make your point. That just wasn't the time or place. Want proof? Ok, can anyone tell me what Thomas' point was? Anyone??? ( sfx... sound of crickets ) The end.

Outskatted and outplayed, the Sens were fortnate to come out with the victory in that one, IMHO.

sah-WEET! Nice to have options besides ice fishing this time of year, eh Lorne.

Beautiful!

That's a really nice tutorial you laid out for us Lorne, thank you! That's a nice simple yet effective way of getting into the sport and catching some of those bruisers.

Just getting rewarded for your dedication there Miller. Way to go!

OK....let's play that game...I'm a share holder and your running the store but it's now losing money....how do you keep it a float so I don't lose my entire investment and you lose your job....I know it wouldn't be, "we need to hire more help"....so what else can you do ? ? ?.....money running short and the clock is ticking.....monthly rent payments are do and MANY distributors want to be paid NOW...

I ask who the boob was who got us into this terrible money loosing mess and I'd start with them! That person probably makes as much as the collective of the people he just fired.

Or a private business that has to answer to stockholders.....

Lots of ways to answer shareholders, but the one that's always taken is to cut staff.

you mean 'SAIL' isnt a goverment entity which hires ppl for life???...wow imagine that..

Nope, just a private business with no conscience.

If all the property around the lake is private, and you can't get permission to cross someone's property to fish the lake, then just pick another lake. Simple, no?

( Just remember when they hold another 'Save The Lake' benefit show, don't go )

Have you considered having Bathtub King just refinish your current tub. I dunno if they have one up your way but they do a pretty decent job no matter how aweful your tub looks.

Although I've primarily fished the piers and shore along the west coast of Florida, I found live shrimp cast out with some weight a foot or two up the line to get 'er down to the bottom pretty much worked for everything. Snappers, Jacks, Sheephead, etc. Fun, simple and productive. Any bait and tackle shop will let ya know where there are good locations to fish from shore and which locations have bait shacks with live shrimp.

Good luck and good fishing( and good eating! ).

Never thought about Twitter as an angling tool Boss. Might be a reason for me to sign up.

I've just always seen it as a marketing / selling tool. Everyone who tweets typically has an agenda of somekind, whether it's to promote themselves or their products or companies. I'm not a huge fan right now.

Good luck Karper. Live plants always frustrated me. I always find it hard enough keeping my fish healthy never mind worrying about the plants as well! lol

That's why have artificial plants in my aquarium now. I must say, I love artificials now because they do look very real.

Because artifical plants make tank care is much easier, I find I clean my tank and do water changes more often( which in the end is better for my fish ).

You guys, it's a hoax! I live in Hamilton and see Lake Ontario everyday and can tell you it was never drained!

Wow, that's a great fish and a great photo to remember 'er by! Nice job, Miller.

Wow, what an enjoyable 4 minutes! Great stuff and some terrific photos and fish! Really enjoyed some of those harbour shots. Beautiful!

Maybe its time to look for a new job

Christmas parties are sposed to help employees get to know one another, and for the bosses to get to know the employees better too.Its a time for management to give a little something back to the workers, to say thanks !!!

I take my guys out for the best steaks money can buy, and each gets a 500 tax free bonus, every year. No complaints so far.

Any openings???

I recorded it and just ended up watching it last night! Wow!!! I couldn't turn it off. Stayed up til 2am.

Tony Stewart was a monster!!!!! ( ..and I'm an Edwards fan )

I've never seen anyone keep coming back from so much adversity in one race. His re-starts were amazing and drove the heck out of his car.

PS.. Congratz Joey, I'm sure you celebrated!

I did it all myself.

Wow, retirement age, eh? You'll wanna get your candles at the dollar store cuz you need a lot!

Very Happy Birthday wishes to ya, Lew.

I'd be in favour of ANYthing that stops teams from trapping. If I had to endure another decade of watching teams trap their way to the Stanley Cup, I'd stop watching.

I applaud Philly for bringing it to light( and believe me, I HATE Philly ).

If it was up to me, I'd have a rule where Tampa would get 2 minutes for 'lack of aggression.'

Ya, I noticed that right away. How cool is that. Wonder if that's an ex-Dunnville guy now living in St. Lew or just visiting. Anyhoo, Leafs won so a great night!

Really enjoyed reading your full report there Mr. (Jacques ) Hoffman. lol

Nice fall bassin' you had, and the Gills are insane!!! I dunno if I've ever seen bigger. I know not on my line for sure.

Thanks for the report and pics. Cheers!

That's just beautiful Drifter. Your Folks are very lucky, I'd say.
