Good luck, and, way to step up Joey

Gave my valentine 8 1/2 lbs of gold on Saturday

All together now, my name is _________and I'm a fishing addict

I quit smoking three and a half years ago, hardly drink anymore, BUT, I will NEVER quit fishing!!!

Yupper, learned that lesson once, the hard way. Never again will I have anything shipped from the US by UPS.

Maybe the new hut needs an exorcism, Simon

I was waiting for the peanut gallery to chime in Thanks, Rick. I won't deny, she has the magic touch right now. We've fished on the ice six times this winter. Juli has caught the biggest fish 5 of those days!! I beat her on numbers a few times, but, I get as much joy watching her land big fish, as if I caught them myself.

Juli says "thanks to everyone"!!! Really need to get her set up on the board. Maybe as the "Ice Queen", lol...she certainly has done well on the hardwater this year.

Condolences to you and your family.

Ouch For me, Doc, it isn't a question of backing Burke, or whoever is running things. I just grew up as a Leafs fan, and, will always be one. I won't change allegiances based on performance or standings. Granted it has been a tough road for the last (TOO MANY) years, but, it is what it is. Guess some of us are just suckers for punishment I'm sure being a Sens fan has been tough at times, too, over the last dozen years...coming so close, not too mention some of those defeats to the Leafs due to some absolutely horrendous goaltending in the play offs. In the end it gives us all another thing to talk (or argue) about.

I hear you Mike! Definitely have to put some miles on the truck to get to any ice fishing. Look forward to seeing you at the Fishing For A Cure event in July!

When I saw the title of this post, I thought it was going to be another Leafs thread Instead, got to have a great little read, and, see a photo of a beauty laker!!! Nicely done

Glad I was on the road home from Quinte for that one (Toronto/Montreal) yikes! I had recorded it, so watched the Sundin ceremony. Classy all the way. Mats said the right things, and, almost lost it when mentioning Pat Burns, Wade Belak etc...passing away. Shame the team didn't show up for the game.

Great stuff, Paul!! Juli does the "Oh My God" when the ice starts banging too. Had a few of those moments on Quinte, Saturday. Up until a few years ago, I hadn't been ice fishing since I was "knee high to a grasshopper". Now, I'm hooked big time. Can't believe I was missing out on a whole season of fishing (other than the odd winter steelheading trip)!!!

Yeah, Mike, incredible girth...hard to see on the photo. Checked my scale too, and it is within .3 of a lb, one way or the other. Good luck getting Marissa the big one!!

I'll pass on the message Roy. She kicked my butt again, this has really been her year on the hardwater. Yeah, Chad, it is a huge walleye factory. If you ever get the chance, go for it. That said, you have some pretty darn good fishing on your doorstep We're really looking forward to heading up that way again next January!!

Finally got back out on the famed waters of the Bay of Quinte, Saturday. Tough conditions, with the wicked cold front, but, Juli latched on to a beauty 8 1/2 lb walleye, her new PB. The fish was only a hair over 26", but, was a fatty! Had a great day in FishinMagicians comfy hut, with a few chasers, and some nice perch caught as well. Even though things were tough, can't complain, especially when a PB is landed! Love those waters, and, sometimes I really wish I lived on the east side of Toronto

Wow, great morning Chad. Congrats on your Nip walleye PB!

Winter = stout Guinness all the way.

Oops, I went a little too far back showing my age.

I suggest you change your pic to a Max Webster album cover asking that question.

Great post and pics Mike!! Have to love those lakers through the ice, it is where they truly shine.

Not too mention an "adaptive" personality, thick skin and the ability to produce fish on a regular basis. Thankless job in many ways, I know I wouldn't want to turn my passion into a job.

Man, I'm glad I just had lunch. Definitely have to try that one, maybe Sunday if all goes well tomorrow

Some nice fish, Steve! Heading there for Saturday, email sent.
