I picked the 13th...it's the License free weekend...a great chance for everyone to get out there! http://www.familyfishingweekend.com/Winter.cfm

Do what I did....start out with a really inexpensive boat and motor...lol. Haven't dinged a prop yet...but then again if there's any question I don't try it. I can't trim up my motor...it's either down or all the way up...so I have to be careful what launches to do that on.

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to to a Christmas CD for next year...taking advanced orders now...LOL. I use my band's PA...a Yamaha M810 for recording. I will only use condenser microphones now (they are sooo much more sensitive and captures the highs and lows much better than a regular microphone) and you need a powered head to use them. I record into that "vocal mic" you see in the picture. I use the output on the PA straight into the computer. I've tried a bunch of commercial software packages before to record, but I always go back to the one shown on the screen here...it's free...and downloadable on the net. It's called Audacity. Simple to use and has great results.

I had a few people ask to hear my acoustic version of Silent Night, so I threw a little video together the other night. Thanks for all your kind comments on my other video...hope you enjoy this one as well.

It's that time of year when our friends up north are hitting the ice, and others down south are chomping at the bit!! With the Kawarthas opening this year, more and more people are anxious to get out there...but let's all remember to be safe! Here's a few things to keep in mind.....p>What to do if you fall through the ice....watch this video! It could save your life... What ice thickness is 'safe'? Looking forward to all the ice reports this year...just pray I dont read about a tragedy from a member of this community...or anywhere for that matter.

Great stuff guys! I haven't had a chance to get out much this fall, so I have to live my steelhead adventures thru reports like this one. Congrats on another successful outing!

-50? -50?????? Damn, that's dedication!!! Despite the temps, looked like a great day out there...congrats on the catches!

Sweet!!! Great work on that cribbage board!!! Haven't played in years...used to with my brothers all the time...til they moved out to Alberta...leaving me here...lol.

Wow...some real nice fish there! Congrats on a great fall season this year.

Very sorry to hear this Mo!!

Congrats to the both of you! Looks like an amazing place Lew...paradise compared to the big city for sure. I'm sure you'll both love it up there.

I don't play quite consistently enough to play with the Trans Siberian Orchestra...but thanks!! LOL. I use audacity as well...it's a GREAT free program. I've tried some of the other software packages, but I always go back to audacity. For all the guitar work, I always record the sound that comes through the air from the amplifier, using a condenser microphone and a PA head that can power that mic. From the PA, I go into the computer input. For bass guitar I go straight from the bass into the PA (no amp) and into the computer. If you dont have a PA or a condenser mic, then I guess it's straight into the computer all the time...but thats ok. I find the sound is a bit more "live" the way I do it. PM me the next time you start a project, I'll be glad to help you out a bit with recording technique depending on what you are putting down!

Thank you everyone...just another hobby of mine! Glad you guys are enjoying it! Maybe another less complicated one in the works... PM me your email address again Joey...I will send the mp3 to you! Thanks a lot! Same as Joey...if you want the actual MP3, just PM me your email address...I have it somewhere, but that saves me from digging it up. Thanks Roy. Check your inbox later today for the MP3 Cliff! If you want to share the video, just send them the youtube link...the video itself is almost 30 megabytes....too big to email. Perhaps if I get a little time I will do a little something with that song as well...if people are interested! Glad you and your son liked the arrangement! Very happy to hear your son is inspired by it...it's not all that difficult a song... Beans...Sydney sorta helped!! No doubt Jim....LOL

Thought I'd share a little project I have been working on. It's a version of O Holy Night that I arranged and decided to record. I play all the parts...you'll see acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, and I used a cheap 100 dollar keyboard to simulate the drums, strings and piano parts. Hope you enjoy!

Congrats on your first successful outing!!! MJL and Victor are great people...always willing to help out. I'd share a drift or carp waters with them any day.

Add one to the steelhead category. Heading out in the boat is a weekend thing only...and as much as I love that, teasing steelhead from tribs will always be a thrill to me.

I'd have to say big sturgeon in BC!

For you no...for him...maybe...LOL.

My street backs onto the back field of a public school...our roads are generally plowed and the sidewalks done too pretty quickly. Plows came through yesterday morning after the snow fell

Quick...buy some stocks!!!! Hmmm...but I have a blackberry....and if the new mobile site works well.....LOL.

Great stuff guys!!! Been too long since I've been hunting steelhead....

Great to hear this update Cliff!! All the best to you and Sue...and of course Andy too!

What? My office computer only has explorer 6.0...guess I wont be seeing the board during the day anymore!!!! Corp IT policy....takes a million signatures and a business case to upgrade anything on those machines...
