Good stuff Lew, she was a beaut! Sure makes mine look puny Maureen

Sorry you weren't feeling well, but am glad you're back up and running now. It was good to see you. Maureen

Hey Jack, you were missed, but it's good to know you made it back safely from the east coast. Hope you and Jackie had a good time. Maureen

Great pictures guys, it was good to see you, too bad we didn't get a chance to chat much. Maureen

Great to see you guys again, sorry I didn't get a chance to come by and throw a dart or two. That was a heck of a fish your uncle caught, I didn't know it was his second monster of the weekend! Good on him and I hope the smile never leaves his face! How big was his winning fish? I have a couple of great pics of it. Maureen

That was very generous of them! Thank you all!!!! Maureen

The best ever! Maureen

Not sure about the first class...if that was the case he would have arrived before I changed the flat Maureen

On the way home from Lak Air, about 70km down the rd. I got a flat on my trailer. Fortunately it happened where there was a passing lane so I had some room . I should have waited a few minutes to change it, when I was putting away the jack and lug wrench Kelvin pulled up in front of me All in all only cost me 15 minutes so not too bad. He followed me the rest of the way to my exit to make sure I didn't have anymore problems....thanks again Kelvin! Maureen

GREAT Pics!!!!! Somehow I espected that though Great to meet you Maureen

I took the boat up Monday for the folks, but due to the weather they didn't get a chance to use it My mom enjoyed herself and said she found those she did meet to be very nice and fully understands why I enjoy going there so much. I arrived back on Wed. for breakfast and had a visit with my mom who was moving into my place to look after my zoo for the rest of the week. When my mom went home I went fishing with Glen, but alas no fish were caught. Thursday morning Beans and I headed out and he managed to put the first fish in the boat A real good way to start off I'm thinking , I managed a smaller one that day. The rest of the fish caught were released boat side as they were just babies. Friday we headed out again in the morning, managed again to pick up a couple of smaller pike, and I thought I was going to get my inline spinner snagged in the cabage weeds so I gave it a good tug and started to rip it back to the boat....that seemed to have excited a fish who grabbed it and took off. The fish put up the biggest fight I ever had, and I was thinking a real nice Pike. Manged to get it near the boat at one point only to discover it was a Muskie....my first ever...my net was no match for this fish. It took off a couple more times, went around the boat, which showed me just how small my boat really is The fish went airborn a couple of times and I thought it would throw the hook, but didn't. Managed to get her boatside, Beans grabbed the leader (second time he used gloves) I quickly snapped a couple of pictures then grabbed the pliers. When reaching down to grab the hook she shook again real good, and snapped the clasp on my leader and took of with my lure ....all in all it was very exciting and I can certainly see the appeal for musky fishing.....I however will not be targetting them specifically for a while yet. Not much to tell after that so I'll let the pictures do the reporting for me. Monique, Shelly, TJ Kelvin, Roy, Pete, Ed, Spiel, John Brian At the dogk Bill Parker and Art As you can see by these few pictures there was lots of smiles, and I have to say that as always the food and hopitality at Lakairwere great! and I'm already looking forward to next year Maureen

Very Nice! Congrats! Maureen

Thanks Chris, it was a nice Muskie, and loads of fun, but I can't post the pic as the board rules state no photo's of OOS fish.... Maureen

As the others said, another great week at Lakair, good food, good people, good fishing...sees ya's all next year Maureen

Glad you made it home safe, guess you didn't follow any shortcuts Maureen

My go to is a Phenix grey with black flecks.... Maureen

Just got back from dropping the boat off today, highway was good, Bassmaster Mike, Slowpoke and Muskistudd were there already, folks arrived about 40 min after I left. Sorry Roy, forgot to check how much gas was, it's 1.35 in town....glad I made it back here to fill up at 1.27 Maureen

I'm taking the boat up this morning for the folks, leaving around 9 or so, hope to be there for noon. Will come home tonight and then head up on Wed. to trade places with my mom Hope I have everything...gonna take Lew's advice and pick up some tire sealant, even though I have two spares ready to go...some places on that highway are not the best for changing a tire Hoping to take the boat for a spin and maybe wet a line while I'm there Maureen

Sorry for your loss, it's never easy, but he was a handsome fella. Maureen

Nah, you can have a young buck like him in your boat this year...I'll hide the banana , just don't lean to far back in the seats Maureen

When I changed the ownership to my name I paid the taxes for both at the License office when I put the trailer in my name. Service Canada didn't ask for more... Maureen

How do you look at the bearings to know if they're ok? Maureen

I won't say my age, I have no degrees, and now I drive a Subway train, don't mind it, but don't love it either, it pays the bills. Too long to go before I retire, wish I could go back to school....not sure what I'd do at this point though....find something you enjoy what ever you do. Maureen

Awesome, good way to start the year off Too bad about the camera... Maureen
