Throw the heaviest guy on the ice and if he doesn't go thru then you'll be fine....LOL. With the weather the way it's been, it's looking pretty good you'll be enjoying some hard water by then.

Great show report Joey! Carole and I headed down there today...it was our first time and we thought it was great! Hope to see you again soon....the swill looked like fun!

Very nice setup there!!! Each version gets better and better. You'll have to sell your design...haha. It's been great seeing the evolution of your wind shield....great stuff there!

TJ....thanks for the 2 tickets to the Spring Fishing Show! Bly and I headed down there today and spent 4 hours checking things out and buying a few things in the process. We bought our family membership to the OFAH, had our pic taken for the cover the OOD magazine, bought those cool fishing hats you mentioned from Fishing World, bought my first noodle rod at 40% off, and a few other cool things. I also won a Muskie shirt with my toonie...LOL. We didn't run into any other OFNers there....exept for CANADIAN COPPER, who was manning the Tightlines booth. We chatted for a little bit...he's a classy guy...gotta get out fishing with him again soon! We read some posts on here about how "bad" this show has become. Since this was our first time at this one, we had no frame of reference, but from what we saw, we loved it! Next year, we'll probably bring the little one to fish in the trout pond! Anyhow, just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks!

My wife and I rented a hut there about a week ago. Had one hit but landed nothing in about 6 hours. It's not just you...most reports on here dont show much coming from the BOG.

Lew... We just talked about this the other day!!! Oh man...when I read this my heart skipped a beat. Thank goodness she is physically going to make it thru this relatively quickly. The memories of this will stay for much longer...as you said. I drive from the burbs to Toronto every day for work. In bad weather, I slow down to under the limit if the conditions warrant it. It amazes me to see the jerks speeding by thinking the road isn't slippery to them or that their actions put people all around in danger. I hope she gets well soon...let her know we all have her in our thoughts. Cliff

Awesome! The look on your daughter's face must have been priceless!! Almost makes me want to take our little one...ALMOST!!! LOL. We're heading out there in about an hour. Thanks for your report!

Now I remember why I dont live up there! LOL...great video!

I heard on 680 news yesterday that the Canadian gov't was looking at eliminating the penny. Apparently it costs over a 100 million a year to keep it in circulation. The news guy said..."I guess we cant say that's my 2 cents....it's gotta change to that's my nickel"

I think it's great! Especially for younger inexperieced people. It's like making a child wear a helmet when riding a bike and the adult saying "No way, I'm not putting one on". All depends on your own preferences. Awesome idea...thanks for sharing the link.

That is truly wonderful news. I know he's not out of the woods yet, but it's great to hear that things have improved. Our thoughts are with Chris...as well as your family!!!! Cliff and Carole (bly)

Yep...the temps may just get bly and I and the kids out on that day. We haven't confirmed because it's all weather dependent for us.

LOL TJ...I'll print a few hundred off and hand them out at the front door for you..... BTW....bly called me from home...the tickets showed up today. Thanks again!

Thanks TJ...looking forward to it!

Great report and pics. Thanks for sharing!

Unbelievable pictures! Those are some BIIIIG and ugly fish...LOL. Awesome report! Welcome to the board by the way...cant wait to see more reports from you.

Bly and I will be going on Sunday....as long as my tickets from TJ arrive in the mail by tomorrow!!!

WOW!!! That Payara looks ticked off!! LOL. I dont think I'd even pick that thing up. Awesome pictures....awesome adventure!

Try city hall when they open. If there is a by-law, then municipal law enforcement officers would give them the fine. Unfortunately, the police usually will not enforce by-laws.

Just so I'm clear on this one...I didn't agree with the spearing of this fish. I just posted it out of interest. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge C&R guy and the spearing of a fish to me is unthinkable. Cliff

I'd be ticked if someone left the door open on a 90 degree day...LOL. Great pic!

Hey Gerritt...that's cool...that's your opinion and I respect that! I def see your point...I just posted it for interest sake. Cliff

Here's a news story I found online....guy pulled this sturgeon out of the ice on Lake Winnebago! Here's part of the news story.... "In this photo provided by Darren Horness, Darren Horness of Howards Grove, lays on the ice next to the 72-inch, 102-pound sturgeon he speared Sunday, Feb. 11, 2007, on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. The fish came up within 6 inches of the surface inside his ice shack, he said. About 8,000 fishermen spearhunt sturgeon each year on Lake Winnebago and its upriver lakes. In his seven years, Horness hadn't come close to a fish that big." Full story at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070214/ap_on_...OJHTL_yDIlsaMYA

I was pretty excited until I heard the ticket prices were $238 each...LOL. Still great to see them making music again though.
