If I dare say it, I've gone from Master seaman to a Master baiter

I enjoy it. The bigger kick comes from seeing them catch fish, and from hearing other's successes using my lures.

Since fishing for Tyler, I've had no time for fishing. Been too busy getting ready for the Niagara outdoor show. Lots of shiny new flipping jigs. Can't wait to work them out come June.

I used to work in nursing admin. I've seen some great nursing homes where the residents were well cared for. Sadly, I've also seen some real dumps that should have never been accredited.

DUH INSTRUCTIONS !! In Honour of Stupid People !! In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sears’ hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (That's the only time I have to work on my hair.) On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?) On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions : Use like regular soap." (and that would be?) On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion : Defrost." (but, it's just a suggestion.) On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well... duh; a bit late, huh?) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding – "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought?) On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me time?) On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers!) On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning : May cause drowsiness." (and I'm taking this because?) On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to what?) On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (Now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.) On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning : contains nuts." (talk about a news flash!) On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions : Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3 : say what?) On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.) On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God.. was there a lot of this Happening somewhere?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stuupidity .

Nice to hear some promising news.

Love it. Now we just gotta plug it.

Another beautiful little angel. Better stock up on pink fishing gear.

Had one pulled off the dock by a bass. Lost my fave mitchell reel. A friend of mine found it diving 2 months later, 80' from the dock. I've lost rods over the side and almost always managed to retrieve them. I have also hooked up and retrieved lost rods while drifting for walter. In good shape too.

There will be a number of area OFNers with booths at the show. Denisk of Fishin Niagara, Fishmasters. I'll be there with Ugliboys baits. Stop in and say hello.

Always keep a couple handy for Mr pike.

You and the kiddies done good

I notice you've got winternet real bad

Stag and doe is just another lame excuse for keeping the groom on a leash and out of trouble with the bride watching.

True hard water anglers don't suffer from winternet.

Almost as tacky as getting married after 10 years of living common-law and sending a list of acceptable gift suggestions to your guests and family whether they were invited or not.

A couple of pics from fishing with Governator.

It was a great day out there for my first time out. Was fishing with Governator and friend. Nice to make the acquaintances. No white stripe for us. Too bad the whitie grounds were just a bit too far for this body Good to see a number of good folk again. Even better to meet many for the first time. My mother's happy too. We brought home enough perch for her and a couple of church friends to have a perch lunch this week. More brownie points for me

My thoughts go out to you and your family.

This says it all

Guess what. You can plan all you want and still have nothing. I have 2 pension plans that became worthless when the employers went bankrupt Seems government put a few loopholes in place to allow employers to borrow against their pension funds. The third one I pulled and put into a "secure" pension plan. The insurance company has locked down the fund and made no payouts in 2 years as the recession almost wiped it out. So I planned and saved and still don't have squat. Or you can put all your savings in the bank and get no return either.

Found gas for $1.08 today. One small victory in a cheaper run to Simcoe. Government isn't going to run to our rescue. Gotta learn to fend for ourselves like in the old days.

The way I see it, Cliff. Government no longer works for our benefit, so why should we work for their benefit? Special interests and bureaucrats live good on our backs because we let them.

Same old same old. Prices jack with every middle east crisis. Has been since the 70's As for the disparity tween US and Canada prices. Answer is really simple. Canadians have become spineless toads. They make noise and then go into hiding.

A couple of years back a lady caught one through the ice and was threatened to be fined by the Feds for not having a shark license.
