Beans

He will be with you in your heart every time you wet a line just like my daughter is with me... Oh my...How she loved to go fishing...

Now they (forecasters) are calling for -1*C,+1*C and -3*C degrees for the next three nights... What other job can you be wrong most of the time and still get paid??? Oh Ya...baseball players...if they are right 1/3 of the time they are superstars with a batting average of .333...Must be nice...

And what kid didn't wish they could get a job there...and get paid to roller skate all day...Better than paying at Mutual Arena...

Or the cost of joining a carp club and paying "swim" fees...just like golf "green" fees...We got it good in this country...

WOW...looks like the size of a two pound smallie...WTG with the catch and release...CPH and I release all over 12 inches...

I used to hate those damn doves stamping their feet on the roof when I had a hangover years ago ...now I put feed out for them...

I got to agree with Grant...the warmest it will get at night up in Apsley is -6C...that should keep the ice tight...

Thanks Lew...

Jeeze...what's the number Lew ??? Maribeth will be calling them soon...

I used an Ugly Stik with a Mitchell 300 for many many years until it became fashionable to use several rods rather than change lures and spools... I still have a couple of Ugly Stiks in my arsenal...one 6'6" one piece coupled with a Shimano Curado baitcasting reel and the other is a two piece 7' that I was using for carp fishing until I inherited an 11' Aurora Barrinton carp rod with an Okuma baitrunning reel this past summer... Like a Timex watch...the Ugly Stix take a lickin' and keep on ticking...

Now wait just a darn minute guys...someday you will be in your seventies and will not be agile enough to be balancing on the tongue of your trailer to guide it on or kick it off...my first mate (wife) and I have got the launching of the "Tin of Beans" down pretty well for only twice a year...

We tried Stone's for minnows once but they were a bit big Garry...never thought to use just the heads or tails... Live and learn eh ? Other times we used our leftover emeralds from Simcoe...prefferably live but salted worked well also...

Three hours from the 'Shwa to lake Watchamacallit ???...Did you walk ???...or was it a very long coffee break at the shop at hwy 7 and 28 north (formerly 134)... Just kidding...that was some storm...Glad to hear you had some action... Big Cliff and I will get up there one of these days...if you were using minnows, where did you purchase them?

Did you tell him you knew Photoz ???

Way to go Joey... My carp fishin' buddies Photoz and Crappieperchhunter will sure be as impressed as I am... Don't s'pose you were chumming with corn ???...

Thanks Boss... Maribeth and I had a wild time waiting for midnite ... All the best for 2008 !!!

Ever wonder how George got to be so wise???...I do... Was it the booze or the drugs ??? No matter, he is still one of my favorites...

Nice catch...Big Cliff will be drooling seeing these...

I always try to remember to keep a few band-aids in my pocket for when someone gets a little too close to the auger blades...and a pocket packet of kleenex or two... A roll of toilet paper can come in handy at times...

Just say when...I'm probably free that day...

While driving past the bay on our way to Maureen's for an early dinner I noticed about 20 or 30 huts all grouped close together on the north/west corner and open water on the south/west corner...What species would they be after out there ???

I just told Maribeth that Chuck and Shelley had a baby girl....OOps...make that a granddaughter... Congrats to all...

Don't know if this has anything to do with the pics disappearing but I saw a couple of the Simcoe sites had requests for the bugs and the OFC site/Ron's thread was given in reply ???

Better get that lost sole replaced on your boot my son...prob still a lot of slush out there...sorry, couldn't resist...Brian for a poor soul...your a good guy...

1972...I was enjoying my first sober Christmas in many, many years...not fishing related but it wasn't long after then that I got back into fishing...
