Homey... just copy the Offshore boards I dropped off to you last year! HH

Just tell Dano it's time... he'll get up! HH

Ok... I was looking for a name and a number and I got it quickly, thanks again Scugog! I did call him re a Lowrance Ice machine a buddy is considering buying for this up coming ice season. His price was very competitive from what we have been able to research.While I had him on the phone, I asked him about upgrading my old portable Garmin and he gave me some great advice on how to get where I want to be, without spending a ton of dough... so at this point anyway, once his stock comes in, I'll be talking to him again. Seems I to am starting to line up at the door of angling specialties! HH

Nice! 45 feet is defintely pushing it, but if you bring them in slow, it is doable. Thanks for the report, less than 2 weeks to go! HH

Thanks Scugog! HH

Hey guys, Hoping someone can remember the name of the shop in Woodstock that sell Lowrance and such electronics. Thanks, HH

My 7 year old son was sent home from school on October 16th. On October 18th, we took him to the hospital as he seemed to be "crashing". The doctor who saw him said the following:" I think it's swine flue as his symptoms are exactly like the one's I had, when I had it". He was prescribed meds and we kept him home for a week. He's fine now, full of piss and vinegar... my daughter is fine, but I have been fighting what appears to be a cold for 10 days. I heart goes out to the families of those who have been taken by this flu, but injecting myself or my kids is not something I have very much interest in doing, I have significant concerns. And as my son has had it, he has developed anti-bodies on his own, so I'm not concerned for him. My daughter we will keep a close eye on... This really is a tough one. HH

Thanks for the report... Dr. Nancy eh... ROTFLMAO! HH

Bernie... Terry doesn't need any help to take shots at my fishing abilities! LMAO HH

Now that's funny! HH

I bet I can guess Terry! HH

Nice work guys! Uhmm.... what did Terry catch? HH

Congrats!!!!! HH

Old Butch John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. John's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover. To John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully next time, the bells are not always audible. HH

Don't know if this is just a sick coincidence or if I'm getting paranoid, but .... 2007 - Chinese year of the Chicken - Bird Flu Pandemic devastates parts of Asia 2008 - Chinese year of the Horse - Equine Influenza decimates Australian racing 2009 - Chinese year of the Pig - Swine Flu Pandemic kills hundreds of pigs/humans around the globe. It gets worse........Next year......2010 - Chinese year of the noodle - what could possibly go wrong? HH

Wow, there must be 25 lbs of fillets on that fish! Congrats and thanks for posting the pics! HH

Mike, consider yourself lucky to have been using that strawberry thingy.... you could have been using Terry's Wally diver! LMAO HH

Well, after seening that pic Raf, I'm not sure which of the two would taste better! On the bright side, that open wound would certainly help save some time scaling the fish! HH

It's time for a "one month" bump... folks, one month from today, we'll be washin lures and staring at tons of hooks on the sonar, wondering what the heck we have to do to get one of those hooks to hit our lure... so, bumpity bump! HH

I have in the past, in an effort to secure the snap weight in situations where I am concerned about dragging bottom, I've used a snap swivel, threaded through the snap weight ring, then threading the line through the snap opening and locking it down. This method allows the snap weight to travel down the line, to the lure, should the weight come off the line. With regard to folks reeling up snap weights and having fall over board... well I haven't had this happen, but I can see how it could! One thing that I know will eliminate this problem, is where you are standing in the boat while reeling in a fish. (You really can't do much but pay attention when reeling in a line with no fish) Typically, when trolling, I get the person who is reeling in a fish, as far towards the front of the boat as possible. Using long rods in tight quarters is a recipe for disaster. Moving the person who's fighting a fish to the front of the boat, opens up the back, allows the rod to do it's work and give the fisher person more control over the fish. With the rod tip high in the air, this allows the net man to remove the snap, with little or no effect on the person fighting the fish. It also allows for easier netting and on topic, should the person reel the snap up to the top of the rod, the snap will land on the boat floor. This is simply based on my experience... I have nothing against elastics! HH

Oh my! Sorry for your troubles. HH

How'd it taste? Doesn't seem to be bothered by it, the Pikes got a smile on it's face in the first pic! HH

Canadadue... I can see how elastics would work, but I don't think that I would be inclined to use them in the cooler weather, for example fishing Quinte in the fall. It can get pretty cold out there and from a convenience perspective, I'll go with the snap weights... Just be sure that when you are buying snap weights, get the appropriate strength as they are colour coded to reflect the tension of the clip. Also, be sure to push the line in the clip all the way to the back of the clip to ensure it stays in position. Further thought... I can't recall losing a clip in open water, but I can recall losing one having scraped bottom. HH

Well as mentioned above, you could try these: http://www.offshoretackle.com/snapweights.html Attach them about 50 feet in front of your lure, making it easy to remove them while your fighting your double digit Pickereye. You could simply get a bigger Rap and run more line behind it! Also, mentioned was Lead Core. Probably the easiest way to reach and maintain a specific depth. ALso, will easily accept a snap weight as well, should you need to reach deeper... and can also be run off in-line or mast based planer boards. HH
