As they say: "Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction." It is inconceiveable that in view of all the documentation and related research that has been amassed on this topic, someone in his position could utter such stupid senseless drivel! Anyone with half a brain that has at least one foot outside the cave, knows that the Cormorants are indeed a threat to fish populations.

Makes perfect sense.

If I owned a tire that said "SURE TRAIL" on the sidewall, I would fill 'er up with air, and drive very fast to arrive at my destination sooner, and...voila, money saved...money earned.

I tried that once. Durn near fractured my little bones inna ma inner ear with all the ***ual entendres and overtones between the ****icus and the Chat queen! I reckon, I reckon, I really do.

Now fer the news. Livewell becomes deathwell. A man today, intent on teasing his neighbours, took his "Pleasurecraft" out on it's annual Spring run. As the hapless victim, shouted obsceneties from the deceving comfort of his "Craft", it slowly dawned on him, and his unfortunate occupant, that their ankles were getting that fresh all over feeling. As the echo from his last expletive, failed to return to his ears in the customary, manner, he turned to give his sole occupant the "What the Hell?" look, only to make the horrifying discovery that " Buddy" was slowly but surely floating away towards the now distant horizon!!" It was at this point, that he discovered with a shear look of horror on his face, that he had joined that neather world know as ... (are you sitting down?) ...THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE. Now for the weather, traffic up next.

Here is a picture of the train tressle, taken from where I fished last February. That is very close to where U are talkin' bout. It is called Minihaha Bay.

Try this one.. Pick a number from 10 to 99. Add the 2 digits together. Then substract that sum from the number you picked. Example: 12 So ..1+2 =3 then..12-3 = 9. Ready? When you have the number, locate it on the chart below, and find the symbol directly above it. PM me and I'll tell you the symbol.

Have a look at what this feller experienced while tying into the Big 'Un! http://www.fieldandstream.com/fieldstream/...32302_1,00.html

Exactly. I used to host friends at a camp on a deserted Island, fer fishing and camping, and some of these buggers were worried about a television...used to really tee me off, they couldn't be away from a TV fer a week-end!

Wall, this guy begs to differ.. <h1 style="font-size: 13px;">Swimmer hospitalised after Amazon swim</h1>Monday Apr 9 07:46 AESTSlovenian Martin Strel, after braving crocodiles, piranhas, disease and the threat of an imminent heart attack, has completed a record-setting 66-day, 5,268km swim down the Amazon River and was taken to a hospital. Thousands of people were on hand in the Brazilian colonial city of Belem as an exhausted Strel, 52, made his final stroke, and was pulled from the water. On Saturday, Strel had officially set a Guinness Book of World Records mark when he hit the 3,274 mile (5,268 km) point, the swimmer's support team said on his website www.amazonswim.com. On Sunday he was back in the water again, riding the early morning tide back upriver six miles (9.6km) to end the marathon Amazon swim in Belem at about 11.30am local time. It was the most challenging of Strel's big-river swims. He has previously swum 4,004km of China's Yangtze in 2004, 3,798km of the US Mississippi in 2002 and 3,004km of Europe's Danube in 2000. After arriving in Belem, Strel was placed in an ambulance and medics worked to stabilise his blood pressure, which was at near-heart attack levels, his support team said on the website. Strel has been suffering from nausea, diarrhoea, dangerously high blood pressure, sunstroke, dizziness and delirium. Due to his deteriorating health, Strel had been swimming six hours and then resting for six hours in his final leg down the world's most voluminous and second longest river. On Friday, Strel had to be hauled from the water by his son Borut and others and had difficulty standing. His doctor ordered him not to swim but Strel, obsessed with reaching Belem, insisted on swimming the final few kilometres at night to avoid the blistering sun. "I've had enough. I just want to finish and go home," he said on his website. Nicknamed "fish man", Strel started his latest big-river swim on February 1 at the Peruvian jungle town of Atalaya, where buckets of animal blood had to be poured into the river to distract piranha from making a quick meal of the swimmer. Strel formally finish his marathon swim down the Amazon four days ahead of schedule on Saturday. In the last leg of his journey, Strel said the ocean tides coming up river were driving him backward at times. Along the trip, Strel and his team had several near misses with pirate attacks and often had to steer toward swift flowing currents to avoid being set upon by piranha. This resulted in Strel being swept away in a giant whirlpool once and separated from his team and boat another time. The team was constantly at risk of parasites and disease in the Amazon such as malaria and yellow fever. "I think the animals have just accepted me. I've been swimming with them for such a long time that they must think I'm one of them now," Strel said recently on the BBC.

Kind of report I like. Good pics taken. The fish are very nice. The wood on the campfire looks a little on a the green side. Much smoke?
