Just got back from the show. I think Andy and Vita have done a good job on their second show I caught 2 seminars. Got to meet Dave Mercer ( I'm a little rounder than he is ). Got to spend some time talking with Mike Miller one to one.

Picked up a supply of my fave spinnerbaits, Black Fly.

I spoke with a couple of outfitters. I do not book based on what I saw on a web page. I want to talk to people from a lodge. You get a really good feel on what a place is like by finding out what the people are like.

It is still a good event to go to. Even if all I do is learn a few tidbits it is worth it. This is only the second year for this show and it is hard to keep any venue full in hard times, unless you don't mind 10 sock vendors, 5 spice vendors, 4 first aid suppliers, etc.... or the numerous free draws offered by time share companies. I never understood the connection between Raptors cheerleaders and fishing

I'l be going tomorrow accompanied by the Mrs.

Do folks still ice fish Grenadier pond?

You could start backpacking the waterfront from the Humber to Commisioners st. and find casting spots along the way. Would take you a couple of days.

Before I finally had surgery, I had reached the point where pills did not work any more. The legs would do their own kind of writhing and squirming and I had lost some bladder control. The sciatica was only a symptom of a bigger problem. I had caused some actual damage to the spinal nerve tissues ( for which there is some residual effect). It took a year, post-op, to regain most of the feeling back in my feet.

No amount of chiro, massage or ointments will help when there are more serious problems. You need the doctor to rule out the more serious possibilities.

Sound like a great time. Sorry I missed it. Doing the family wedding thingy today. I plan to get there Monday.

Hamilton Hall's book, "The Back Doctor" is a good reference to learn from. It teaches the basics of managing your back care. I relied on the text for 15 years.

If the muscles are in spasm, get him to an emerg. Get the muscle spasms under control then look at the treatment options. The sciatic nerve is but one of the nerves than can be affected in your lower back. The problem can extend to bladder and kidneys. The severe sciatica can merely be a sign and symptom of far deeper problems. If the legs are moving involuntarily. If there is a bladder or bowel control issue. If he can find no relief in any position. He will need some type of immediate treatment.

done and did it

Even the Dime Store Fishermen aren't that bad.

I don't think you will see a ban on 2 stroke motors.

There are, however, numerous bodies of water that have either total engine bans, and some with limits on the size of motor that one may use.

Too much fishing to do right now to be thinking that far ahead

The Mrs. Doesn't complain about my fishing "habit". In fact, she goes out and buys me a lot of the gear. I just have to shut my yap about the Bingo parlours.

Thank you . A most helpful site.

Blimey thay's a nice pike Limey. Don't take Snag too seriously. He's one of those "Taranna" types. It's all that foul air they breath in.

I have a hard enough time parting with a $1.25 at Timmies, when I brew a pot for $0.25. At $4 there better be a solid shot in there.

That looks down right delish. The body has been deep fried and cooked through for an adequate amount of time.

Talk about fresh from sea to table.

a guy could get shot in Ontario for a flag like that

Not around Hamilton where everything not Toronto is loved.

I could get into one of them omelets about now. Yummy.

Those are some fine looking whities. I'm drooling just thinking of what I would do to them in the kitchen

It was a great show. Don't know how many times I've seen every episode. The final episode was great. So were the M.A.S.H farewell parties held at various bars and college pubs. My daughter now watches the show every day some 25 years later.

So if you go to Canada with out a passport, and our border people won`t let you back into the US you can ask for political asylum?

Actually, we send you off to the penal colony in North Labrador

Was there a stimulus package during the great Great Depression? I never read about one in any of my history classes back in high school.

The big federal construction projects initiated by FDR and the Democrats through the 30's. There were no bailouts that I can recall.

Interesting video.....at the same time canada is saying it will pull out of it for next year.

Never. Never. Never. Trust a Canadian politician's word.

One of the old methods for killing fresh caught eel was to toss them in a sack of rocksalt. I remember watching the old timers do it when I was a kid.

Think of it as the 20lb easy diet

You can sometimes get some sweet deals on the last afternoon of a show
