YEah! I read this article today....very interesting read!

Lemme think of the jingle from their radio ad...... try itravel2000.com....dial 1-866-wow-deal....and get away for less....1-866-WOW-DEAL.... The advertise that they'll even beat last minute deals from other companies....

I shook hands with Joe Carter a few months after he hit THE home run that won the 1993 World Series. He was working on an endorsement with the company I work for. I walked into the waiting area and there he was....I stood there with my mouth hanging open...managed to say hi and then shook his hand. He was very friendly and called me "pal"...LOL. Met Mike Palmateer at the burger joint he opened in Ajax back in the 80's. He was one of my idol's growing up so that was a thrill. He used to show up there a few times a month to chat with the customers. Got George Bell's autograph at my grade 12 prom...haha. He was in the hotel lobby where our prom took place. The lost that night...maybe that's why he wasn't that friendly...LOL. Got Darryl Sittler, Wendel Clark and Johnny Bower's autographs at assorted trade shows I've attended. That's about it for me....

Very worthwhile cause...and looked like a great day! Thanks for sharing.

Wow...what a monster!! Congrats!

Great report!! Looks like you and your son had a great day out there!

WHOA!! Awesome boat! As was said many times before...good things happen to good people. Congrats and may you have day after day of great times on the water!

Heard about your mishap on the ice while fishing with Joey, Tybo and gang!! Just glad to hear that you were ok and that others were able to help out to keep you warm!

Great pics! We had a great time out there...lots of smiles even though the fishing was slow. I met so many ofners there...awesome to put some faces bigger than an avatar to people...LOL

Great pics and weekend report Lew! Looks like you had a nice time on your weekend. Thanks for the pics!

LOL...good thing I already finished my morning coffee..or it would be all over my keyboard...thanks for the morning funny!

Hey...even though the fishing sucked, it was a great report. Nice accomodations there....at least you fished in comfort. Thanks for the pics!

LOL...they are Mentos...she cant get enough of them.

A BIG thanks goes to you as well! Bly and I (and our 4 yr old daughter) had a great time out there. It was very well organized and all the volunteers were friendly and very helpful. The weather was great and everyone I saw there had a smile on their face. We'll be back at next years Fishing for Tyler event...thats for sure! Thanks again! Cliff, Carole (bly) and Sydney

Joey...thanks for your great comment on our thread. The answer to your question...the white candies with blue package....are Menthos!!! Kinda surprise she forgot the name since she pronounces them the same way she says minnows....LOL. Great report...and thanks again for the use of your hut to help keep Sydney warm. Hope to see you guys again soon! Cliff and Carole

Thanks fishfinder!! I just finished eating and was about to capture it to upload on youtube. Now I can relax for the evening...LOL. Actually, Bly and I are getting ready to do some night fishing...hopefully a report later....

Hey there Gerritt!! It was awesome meeting you finally. You are very much the great guy in person as you are here on this board!! Thanks a ton for the goodies...it's MUCH appreciated! That's a great offer accompanying you on your boat as well.....it will be great seeing everyone again up at Lakair. Cliff and Carole

Hey Clampett! It was great to see you again. It sure was a great day out there...for a great cause, and it's always a bonus meeting up with other OFNers!

I taped it...so I'll try to capture it on my computer tonite and post the story....nice little story they did...

Well...we had an awesome time out on Lake Simcoe today for the Fishing for Tyler event! Bly and I brought our 4 year old daughter, Sydney, with us on this day. We arrived at around 11am and headed straight out on the ice to meet up with Joey and Tybo...and a bunch of other OFNers. The wind had died down at this point and it was quite comfortable out on the ice. Here are some pics from the ice... Bly watching over our setups Here's the captain of team 9...Patb Gerritt...thanks for the venison and other goodies!!! No matter what everyone else on the board says...you're a nice guy....LOL Tybo...lost in thought. He complained he never caught anything here before. He also let me know that he'll catch all the big game fish for the tourney for our team (6). I have to catch a carp apparently...LOL. Concentrating on catching some fish!!! Fishnsled and Headhunter. My daughter, Sydney, and Joey having a nice chat and staying warm in the Clam. Sydney playing with the worms!!! At 1pm, we headed in for some grub and to meet up with other OFNers. Here's a shot of the area...with lots of hungry ice anglers! The awesome cooks!! Thanks a bunch!! BigCliff and Loonietoon Here's MrJr taking a break from the cooking station. After eating, we had the pleasure of talking with lots of members on the board. Here are few shots.... Tonyb, Carp and Joey Motv8tr, Big Chevy and Ladywalleye And here's Irishfield... After the prizes for the event were handed out, there were LOTS of draws. I think everyone took something home! Here's what we won... There were lots of others we met out there today...Clampett, Pikeie, Beans, Terry, DMasse, BPS Bassman, Tracker, and lots of others that I know I've forgotten. Sorry if I didn't mention you by name....but you know who you are...LOL. Also had a quick chat with Tyler and his mom. They thanked me for coming...but I thanked her...because we had an awesome time out there. We just wanted to say thanks Motv8tr and everyone who volunteered at this great event. We had a great day and got to meet lots of great people.

I'll be at the event, but wow...very generous Keram and TJ!!!

I'm not a picky person....anything that swims is fine with me!!!

Exactly Gbay....it was so windy that I couldn't just lay down the sign...so I had to make a quick choice so I could get him back in the water. So...took one pic with the tape....then one with the sign instead of trying to figure out how to do both in the same shot. Maybe I'll figure out some velcro system....no NOT velcro to the fish....to myself....hehe.

Hey Mike! Here's the rule..."You must provide a clear image of the fish. It is recommended, but not necessary, to have a measuring device in the image. You MUST include in the image the words 'OFC Community.com'." But...if that comes into question...here's another pic of my fish...from CANADIAN COPPER....he'll vouch for me that it's the same fish.......right CC??? LOL

Hey there CC!!! Thanks again for a great day out there. Could you do me a favour and email me the full sized pics? Thanks!
