Or, we could catch all the wet socks and leave you the sheepies... so you could "play lambs" all day! HH

I certainly will, but it may take some time as I know they are talking to everyone I have passed along... Thanks again all! HH

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I have passed them along to my niece. They are looking at approximately 80 people at this point... Bernie, appreciate the offer, but I don't think you can accomodate 80... plus, I wouldn't get much "wedding stuff" done there as I would be out in the boat catching fish! Thanks again all... and thanks for the offer to cook BB! I would surely enjoy a wedding dinner of Crappie or Perch! HH

Thanks guys, I am forwarding all suggestions to my niece... and she also sends along her thanks! HH

Good question re numbers... I'll have to find that out! Thanks for your replies so far and if I may, please keep 'em coming! HH

Hey folks, My niece is getting married next fall and is looking for a "resort" in the Muskokas or any other central Ontario spot, that could accommodate the service and their guests. She is open to considering everything. I thought I'd pick all your brains for suggestions as to where to book. I know she has contacted the major players/resorts. I would appreciate any advice suggestions you may have. Thanks in advance! HH

Well, I am the O.P and frankly, I am quite surprised at how thin some of youse folk's skin really is... I had no intention to insult or belittle anyone in my original post. I was simply trying to get the roughly 1% of the posters here to maybe include a comma or period now and then. I'll be the first to point out that I am a horrific speller... but funny enough, I am an excellent proof reader of other peoples' work... go figure, so I guess I have a disability as well. Guys, this is not Shakespeare, it a fishing site... but, if you can't create a paragraph, can't use a comma or a period, then MAYBE you should consider using a spell/grammar check before you post, if you wish folks to read the post and continue your topic... that was my intent, however it seems some here have to break out their big spoon and still the pot... And funny enough, most who have taken at least some level of offense are not even the folks I was hinting at! Good grief! HH

This is what I was trying, very badly btw, to get at... but when the post is impossible to understand, it will get ignored and that doesn't serve anyone well. HH PS... did I mention that GBW has problems with the truth??? Bah ha!

Geoffy lies! It's been proven... just sayin... HH

I new this would bee a grate way to spend Firday afternoon! HH

At least I spelt police correctly!!! LMAO! HH

I really don't want to get everyone's underwear in knots over this, but come on guys, can we not spend an extra 10 seconds before we post and check your spelling and or grammar? I don't want to nit pick, but of late I have seen some horrendous spelling and grammar from some folks posting and frankly, the impression it leaves on the reader is one of "huh"!? As a reader of your post, we can only equate who you are and what you are saying, based on what you type. If you type/spell badly, that is the impression we the reader will have of you, as a person. It is very simple to use "Word" to spell check, just cut and paste your post into Word and check it. Then, cut and paste your post back into OFC... tada, you're done! It aint pretty, but it is what it is! Thanks folks! HH

You'd think that with an extra eye, that fish would have seen them coming! Nothing wrong with an extra eye, it means more bait for Perch through the ice! HH

Nice shootin BB! But I gotta ask, did you guys drop something off the tailgate of the truck, cause the ducks are all lookin at what ever it was!!! HH Edit... I looked again it it appears as though you guys didn't share the muffin with the ducks!

Awesome shot!!!!! HH

As long as they have their seat belts on Lew, they should be ok! LOL I hear yah... a lot of passionate folks here and I bet none of this would have gotten to this point, should the folks involved be sitting by a fire, enjoying their beverage of choice and respecting each other's opinions. Something about typing on a key board that changes a person's perspective... IMHO HH

Actually Lew, the OP started the thread about seat belts... it just became a gufuffal after a few pages! HH

Amen! HH

CCMT is not going to take pics eh! LMAO Looks like you guys had fun, some spotted carp, a whistle trout and the lead solo in Brown Eyed Girl, all in one report! Well done lads! HH

Ok... breaking out my big spoon here.... How many of you guys running braid can say this about your outing at Quinte... "we went 8 for 14"? I read reports from guys fishing Quinte and they are landing 60% of hook ups at best... and they are all running braid. Run mono and your 8/14 will be 13/14. The only difference between what I'm doing and what guys running braid are doing is the line. It's virtually impossible to rip a lure out of a fishes mouth with 200ft on mono between you and the fish... with braid, there is no give. So, next time you are out there running braid, why not keep ole Headhunters words in the back of your mind... do the count! HH

I run a 50ft mono leader on my lead core... but I don't use a knott to attach them... I use super glue. I makes for an almost seamless transition from leader to core. Lead core is very much speed dependant, so the slower you go, the more opportunity for the lead to sink. Given that most folks troll between .5 mph and 2.5 mph, it really is dependant. Also, Offshore boards will run lead core, at the core no problem. I use the core for non deep diving baits as well as spoons. HH

Well, I'm definately in the minority here, but I will only run mono off my inlines... 20lb test. No leader required, just a snap, not a snap swivel. Mono is elastic as has been described above and personally, that's what I like about it. Hook sets are not a problem, the bait moving through the water will set the hook. But, should I hook into a rather large wet sock, mono affords me the elasticity to not rip the hooks out, as no stretch is want to do. The boards like mono and in rough water, mono acts just like an elastic and will change the lures speed all the while I am sitting back waiting for the rod to go off. I fill my spools, I use Diawa Sealines and it is not un-heard off to have 450ft+ of total line out. Actually, this is my preferred method, especially when the bay gets busy and the fish are spooked. I also really like running lead core. I have five colours on that rod and another 200ft (roughly) of backing on that spool. I will run all five colours in the water and use the backing to connect to the board. The lead core really helps me dial in a depth and repeat it. HH

I wouldn't listen to him Mike... dude don't know squat! HH

Walnuts work well too... I'm just sayin... HH

Ok... here's me stepping out of my usual political correctness around here.... Here's what you need Roy; -one cat -one vinyl floor -two chestnuts, split in two, seed removed Place 1/2 piece of walnut shell on each foot. They should easily slip right on. Place now "nutted" cat on the vinyl floor. Open a beer Laugh till it hurts! *****no cats have ever been hurt doing this.... their owners have however complained about sore belly's and having problems obtaining and maintaining their breathe! HH
