Single choice would be white jig and white twisters 1" -6" size, as so many others have stated.

We did something similar to that a few years back. We had a Dollarama derby.

And the snow keeps falling..... 5 straight mornings of having to shovel for an hour or longer. Really isn't very kind to my back.

Buy what you need. Not what you want That goes for food, household, fishing. Pardon my frugal nature, but I've yet to see actual need for a $700 rod or reel. Do the research, compare shop. Groceries are bought on real sales. A lot of flashy flyers are not offering good deals. Stay away from the supermarkets. Buy bulk, buy from the farm, can and freeze. All make a huge difference. The family grocery bill is still under $100 a month over 20 years.. Biggest thing I learnt. Brand names and designer labels are no longer a guarantee of quality. If the label is important, then saving money is not.

They certainly handled Boston last night.

I'd be happy with those results.

The thing I liked about the hockey heroes from back then... they weren't full of themselves. They were, and still are friendly, approachable and happy to yak with any fan of the game. Mr Hockey, Gumper ,Bobby Hull, Johnny Bower, Orr, Plante, the Richards, Espositos, Eddy, etc...... are true ambassadors of the game. I'll take them over a lot of today's prima donnas any time.

Would love to be posting reports right now. Just having to stay close to home. Not much opportunity to get out. I am making a lot of tackle right now, but it keeps me busy.

The last time I was at the Sportsman Show. The back hall was full of kitchen gadgets, socks and gym wear. A number of tackle shops had, to the surprise of many, just pulled out. It ceased to pique my interest any more. Kinda like my visit to the CNE last year, finding half the buildings closed and boarded up. I'm hoping the Fishing Show will be good, but who knows.

Top row, center ice Grays. Didn't have to move my head to watch the games. Being able to see Foster Hewitt in the booth down below. I was a big fan of Bower and Baun.

Best cure for the Leafs woes... The Gulag system. You don't perform, we send you to farm team in Siberia.

Based on the featurettes being run on the news last night, lots of general outdoor stuff, but not much of a fishing show.

Sounds like you had fun. Getting stuck in the slush is just part of sledding.

I'm enjoying a real hockey game for a change. Almost any other game than a Leaf game has more real hockey in it. So far Detroit and Colorado are having a tight hard hitting game.

Yuup! We all have done that at one time or another. {I still blame it on the tainted ice cubes. Lol}

I was quoting copyrighted material. You gotta talk to the author about that one. Lol.

For the longest time i could never understand the great dislike many muskie anglers had for Darryl Choronzey. That was until I got my hands on one of the Chronz's cookbooks. "The Angler's Only Cookbook, 1983, is an absolute wealth of recipes for freshwater fish. Included are 12 enticing recipes for muskellunge. Included in this collection are such perennial favourites as: Bath Lunge and beer fry; St Lawrence balled musky; Penatanguishene stuffed lunge; Hungry Man's muskie stew, and... Moira lake musky and tomato. Reciting this list almost would almost sound like grandpa from HeeHaw. LOL.

His wholesale cost will be nowheres near as low as a Basspro or Cabelas. Their cost is based on a purchase volume of thousands of units per order. Pretty hard for a small store to order in 5-600 marcums or 1000 Okuma rods or 1000 Shimano reels. Funny thing is that the big box buying discount is often rarely carried over to the consumer except for a sale event.

The businesses that are left owing won't hurt. They'll just use it as a write off. Bad enough the Government, again, let big business slide on the tax bill owing. Which means the taxpayer is on the hook again. The only advantage to anyone is the fact that the taxman gets paid off first, then the banks, and on down the line.

Boycotting won't hurt Target in the least. You are only screwing those that Target owes. At the top of the list are the Canadian taxpayers as represented by municipal and provincial tax revenues and development fees owing. Remember, in any distribution of remaining cash/assets, the tax man gets first dibs.

Glad to hear Jen has a good report from the Drs. this time around.

Well ,its been over a year since Judy finished chemo. In that time, there have been 2 more preventive surgeries. Now we have some new wrinkles. Back to the cancer clinic for day 2 of tests and consults.

Well, this storm gave me a work out. Broke my snow shovel last night, and rebuilt it. Today I snapped the thing in 2 just as I was finishing the driveway. No Red Green fix this time. Guess I'll go out and find a new one before the next blow.

I hope earlier than last spring. We still had patches of frozen ground April 15th

I do hope they do well. It was the only shop left once Norland closed up. I trapped frogs for them long time back
