I think this about sums it up.

No wonder TJ is getting old so fast, he is having two birthdays a year now!

If you want a really special dinner while you are out there, you have to try "The salmon House on the Hill" Fantastic food and a beautiful view.

Joey, Joey, Joey; I don't know how you do it, you have birthdays and you never look any older, just more beautiful! Hope you have a wonderful day today and all year through! Happy Birthday kid!

Why go that far North. There are some excellent lakes in the French River area with some fantastic shore fishing for pike and lots of places to camp (if you don't mind wilderness. Let me know if you are interested and I'll PM you the directions etc.

I'm on Bell Dial up and have never had a problem with the board being slow (other than dial up speed), in fact the site loads quicker than many other sites I go to. I guess this is a case of slower is faster.

My son just bought a new to him Cavalier, wired up his trailer lights, wouldn't work. He had wired everything correctly with one exception, he had wired the white ground wire from the trailer to the white wire in the wire harness in the trunk. Problem was that that white wire in the trunk was a live wire to the rear window light. Fortunatly, he was able to bring it to dad and we had it fixed in no time. If you are still having trouble and can borrow a set of magnetic lights for it, bring it up here I'll fix it for you. I use to build EZ loader trailers so I think I know what I am doing.

Must be doing something right, keep at it! A very happy birthday to you!

I know a guy up in Thunder bay, don't know if it would be worth shipping them down to you though. Gary Hall .(807) 344-9181 There was a guy just West of Milton that use to wholesale worms, minnows, and leaches, don't know if he still does. 905-854-2356

Is the tank vent open?

If you don't buy a ticket, you can't win! Oh well, next year.

A little patience and a lot of love (and I'm sure she will get lots of both) she'll come around in no time! Good on you Moe.

When my live well pump intake nut failed it only took a few minutes for water to come up to the base of the side consol and that was a lot of water in a very short time. I was lucky I hadn't docked the boat and gone visiting. Hooking up an alarm to the float switch is not a bad idea might piss a few people off in a marina if it went off too often during the night. I think I'd make sure someone knew where to get hold of me if it happened.

Many of those trailers are made right here in Lindsay. If anyone is having problems getting the parts or support, let me know, I use to work there. Still know most of the fellows!

I have talked to a few people in the area and according to them the walleye have already started to head back to the lake. Might have something to do with the fact that they raised the water level two weeks ago to the highest I've seen it in 5 years. Weeds haven't started to develop yet due to the cold water conditions and late ice out this year. As for suggestions, you have PM.

Good for you! keep it going just one day at a time but keep it going!

Joe, I hope you didn't bury him yet, he might have just beeing playing possum hoping that redtail would come back so he could...... oh never mind, it's probably too late!

I'm still hunting the elusive crappie on Sturgeon Lake too. I know they are in here, but I haven't been able to find them in any numbers yet. Keep trying!

Keep us posted and let us know if we can help in any way! Fingers crossed, prayers said!

If it ain't broke don't touch it !!!!!! Actually there is very little that can go wrong with them, a fluid leak, but it will start acting up before it fails. and the pump, nothing there to service. (Inspect the wiring and make sure it is in good shape). My boat and motor are almost 20 years old so you have to expect a few little things to go wrong. In my case the problem was compounded by my lack of experience and the fact that I couldn't find anyone around here who knew anything about the Zuzuki.

Congratulations Rick! That was a wonderful thing you did! Been through the Alzheimers thing with both my mother-in-law and father-in-law, very sad thing.

There are a lot of IF's involved. You mentioned that you will be selling your house shortly, do you intend to live at the new place? Do you work in Peterborough and will you have to travel? We bought this place on Sturgeon lake both as an investment and because we wanted to live on the water but we spent 4 1/2 years looking and assessing what we wanted and needed. As others have said, waterfront property will never go down! I'm not going to try to type out all the little things we learned, but if you would like to give me a call or drop by for a visit I'd be happy to share some of that information with you. 705-328-0750 Cliff

What will they think of next? Is there anything in this world that is good for us and the environment?

I've alwys used mono up until last year and I decided to try a braid so I went with the power pro in the moss green (always looking for that "edge")! The line quality was excellent, but I believe that my catch ratio was down from using mono (mind you, I didn,t use a flurocarbon leader, I never use any kind of leader for walleye). I have learned over the years that even line size can make a huge difference when fishing walleye, if you want to prove it for your self, just put two guys in a boat, one with 4-6 lb test and the other with 10-12 lb test line and see who gets the most hits. This year I decided to try one of the flurocarbons (still looking for that edge) and settled on Berkley transition. Apparently invisable under water but changes to gold in the sun light so you can see it but the fish can't. I went with the six lb test because there are a lot of weeds in this lake and a 4lb just isn't strong enough when they try to run for cover, besides CTC didn't have a 4lb on the shelf or I might have tried it anyway. I don't think I'd go back to a braid again, not for the type of fishing I do anyway. Big Cliff

LOL, It's hard to say anything when you have hydraulic fluid all over your face
