I hope your feeling better soon! May I suggest that a repeated arm arching motion, while holding a 7 ft graphite rod, might help to loosen up your neck a bit... think of it as physical and mental therapy. I'd hope that the offending person's insurance would help to pay for such therapy. HH

Wayne, nothing would make me happier then chumming the water behind Lloyd's boat with residual lemons, but unfortunately, with a wife who is a school principle, the month of June tends to be a complete wash-out for me. Darn near every weekend has some kinda year end thing etc, etc... 5:00 am departure!!!!!!!! That's even earlier then normal Lloyd time! Maybe some time in July? HH Speil, through the bright red slits I call eyes, you seemed to be having a good time... just remember, "it's a fun game, if you play it quick!" And it's way better to have two, then one!

RE hydro prices. What I can't seem to get my head around is the fact that us individuals are subsidising industry's energy costs! Demand goes up through the day, not because of residential use, but because of industry's need for energy. However, they are demanding that I, the residential user pay for industry's energy greed. And johnny, take a look at your Electric bill, we pay a debt recovery charge every month... that, because OPG can't seem to upgrade anything within budget or time constrictions. PS... Ontario transportation minister is talking about implementing road tolls again! (For environmental purposes only! LMAO) HH

As the official convener of all thing lemony, I will sanction such a GTG, as long as the appropriate salutations are fully adhered to. (Blah Blah Blah... I sanction your lemons!) HH

Johnny, truth be told, we the people are to blame for everything we get... we vote for 'em and allow then to continue the trend. Unless and until we the people demand more from our politicions and actually take a deep interest into what they do, nothing will change. Example... the dreaded HST was anounced over one year ago. WE, "the people" by in large said and did nothing, now everyone is in freak mode. (justifiably, but way to late!) The more things change, the more they stay the same! HH

Awe man, I had almost completely forgotten that the "girls of summer" were playing again this year! I can hardly wait for the first guy to hit the ground like he was shot, only to have the replay show that no one actually hit him! To those who enjoy this spectacle, have a blast! Go Canada Go! HH

...and a nice 2x2 sheet of plywood! HH

If it swims, or in this case, is perceived as swimming, it's considered food. Simple as that. HH

If legislating against stupidity was remotely possible, then our governments would have legislated themselves out of existence. Where does it end folks? Will they soon force me to dull all my hooks, for fear of snagging myself... force me to submitt to a breathalizer test before they sell me booze? Peter, I am not belittling your words, I understand where you are coming from on this, but I have to believe that regardless of legislation, people are going to do what they do and forcing people to pay particular attention to there own well being will not make it so. You only have to look at the other thread on the board today for proof. Education is the only solution that's viable, but you can lead a horse to water, but you certainly won't make it drink, unless it wants to. HH

Ben's pic holding a nice Pickereye on the cover of Izumi's REal Fishin Mag has been in my "powder room" for quite some time now... reasuring to have him smiling at us when we are in there doing our business! LOL HH

Mouth of the Napanee river, Erie Derie's HH

Thanks for doing up the report Will! Nah... I really didn't want to take home some fresh Nip fillets, did I! Thanks again Bernie for inviting up us bassholes up again! Laughs are priceless and weekends at Bernies always make me feel like a millionaire! I hope that the summer brings you guys good weather (RAIN!) and I'm lookin forward to the fall already! Oh yah... just so yah know, large amounts of cash were exchanged in order to get me to take a pic of that "Goat" Will caught... BAAAAH! And like all who attended, I for one am glad I have two! HH Ps... to those heading up to Nip, we found the Pickereyes to be scatered at best and biting extremely light, heck I would swear they were licking our jigs... we did find however, that slowly dragging our jig along the bottom, popping it off rocks and letting them lick the jig was the only way to get a fish... slow and steady folks!

And lack of water in the French has been an on going problem since I can remember, way back to the early 70's. I won't argue mother nature Raf, but I do think that those who are PAID to be reasonably correct, should do a better job. Probably asking to much! HH

Guessing wrong is fixable, if wrong is leaving too much water in Nip. Open the dams and the water goes down... guessing wrong and leaving a lake the size of Nip more than two feet down, is grounds for an inquiry in my mind. I was shocked by all of the land locked docks I saw up there this weekend. I would suspect that many who own there, won't be visiting much this summer as they will have to hire a Sherpa to get their stuff from their boats to their cottages. The economic impact to the area will be very significant. HH

... and help with the tent to Roy! Too funny! HH

Happy B-Day Lloyd! I'll keep a lemon handy for the next time we meet up and we'll share a quick snort! HH

I used to be such a sweet sweet thing, till they, got a hold of me I opened doors for little old ladies, I helped the blind to see I got no friends cause they read the papers, they can't be seen, with me, Feel free to carry on! HH

Raf beat me to it! HH

TJ... traffic should not be a problem at that time and date... I would take 400 south to the 401 west, than take 427 south to the QEW/Gardiner east to get downtown. Taking the DVP puts you pretty far east, only to travel south and west on the DVP to get downtown. HH

Hey Lew, That looks like a great way to spend a day! I can't help but wonder though, if the aluminum tube will be able to handle the stress of a bigin, thumping away behind the boat. I'm assuming you are running a short line behind the rod and with the height of the tube being what it is, I can see quite a lot of pressure being applied to the top of that tube... just thinking out loud here... maybe consider filling the tube to provide more strenght? HH

If I may suggest a bit of a drive... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkHhx3y__9w HH

I have caught many Gar fishing in London as a kid. Yes, they are very hard to hook as their mouth is essentially all bone and teeth. Here's what worked for us... -live minnows on a treble hook. Wrap the minnows around the treble, use a few. -tie on a float and leave the treble no more than one foot beneath the float. -they will bite and tow your float up and down the river -take a guess when and set the hook very hard. -needless to say, keep a tight line on'em BTW - they really don't fight worth a darn, but they interesting to catch and have a close look at. If memory serves me well, natives of North america used Gar scales for arrow heads. I have also heard that the flesh is poisonous as well as the roe. HH

You know, I was thinkin about Dio and how he was said to be a down to earth type guy, who handled his profession with elegance and pride and he is taken away from us, when a guy like Ozzy, who has more chemicals running through him then Love Canal, is alive and doing well. (Ok, that's arguable but atleast he is alive!) Life aint fair! HH

Nice Will! So, instead of getting out with you and Ken, I had to go to London to visit family! On the bright side, those fish make you look thinner! LMAO HH

My first thought as well Roy, until I noticed that there wasn't a marshmellow to be seen anywhere in that article. so I'm guessing you may be wrong! HH
