Headhunter

Thanks Raf and Fang... I'm aware of Youtube, however in an effort to more quickly learn the songs, I like to listen to them on my MP3 player on the Go Train, to become more "imtimate" with the song. And watching someone else play the part on Youtube is "cheating", as far as I'm concerned! LOL I guess I'm old school, having spent a good part of my youth learning songs for the record and continually moving that stylus back and forth! HH

Hey folks, I have recently joined a band and as a result, I am learning to play many tunes, old and new. I really don't want to buy CD's for just one song, so I was hoping for some suggestions as to what sites you use to down load music. I have given Lime Wire a go and frankly, if I wanted to down load Porn, I'd go to a porn site!!!! Hoping you folks can help me out! Thanks in advance! HH

A fine tribute to a fine man... you have my thoughts and prayers. HH

Sending good thoughts and prayers you way... I don't want to imagine what your family is going through... I'm not tough enough. HH

Believe us when we tell you to get the best boot you can. Nothing will cut yer day short, like cold feet! Solo, those boots look good, have you used them ice fishin? I ask because many boots will handle just walkin around on the ice, but if yer using a power auger, you NEED waterproof as you will get a shower pulling the auger up the hole. I found out on Friday that my 15 year old boots have passed their point of usefullness! I've changed the liner, but they still won't keep me warm! I'll have to take a good look at the one's Solo posted! To the O.P. - I don't know how they rate boots as far as temperature ratings go, but minus 100C is the MINIMUM I would consider. HH

I guess he couldn't "Dodge" the thin sections! My bad, it's a Ford! HH

Yup, what Raf said... with emphisis on the boots! HH

Mark's Work Warehouse has everything you'll need. Just be sure to get boots that are over kill based on temperature. You should be looking at boots that are rated to atleast minus 100. Can't help with the BnB thing, Cooks is only 45 minutes from Toronto, so staying there is not something I have done. HH

Nice pics! Apparently you attended Lew's tutorial on: a) how to catch skis how to smile for the camera! Thanks for posting! HH

Congrats! Great pics and life will NEVER be the same! HH

Thanks for the encouragement re conditions earlier in the week Terry, I was thinkin no way to get out earlier, but you were right, the ice was solid and the bite ended up being pretty good. HH

Hit Cooks Bay yesterday, walking out from Keswick. Found 5 inches of good black ice and was jiggn to beat the band by 7:30am. Between my buddy and I we caught a total of around 200 Perch, mostly dinks and ended up taking home around 25. Most caught were in the 5-7 inch range, with a few genuine keeps. Buddy had the hot spot, 6 feet way from me, had non stop action in one hole for almost two hours. He'd drop the jiggin Rap to the bottom, turn over his bail and set the hook... they were all ready on the line. Hot bait was fire tiger Jiggin Rap with either a Power Maggot or a Luhr Jensen size 000 Jensenegg (plastic egg) on the bottom treble. Blue and silver Rap was also working well as well as a Swedish Pimple drop rig with a power maggot. It was a blast to get out on the ice again, but when everything slowed down, except the wind, at around noon, we hit the road. We could see guys fishing all over Cooks Bay, some as far up as Roches. Ice seems to be pretty good and still growing. Sorry, no pics, just thought I'd let everyone know about conditions. HH

Rich, try this... use a Swedish Pimple, remove the hook and use a short lead, three inches tied to a small jig, with a power maggot. Drop it into the mud bottom and stir it up. then lift the rig slightly off the bottom and hold it still. It's a killer set up for Cooks! HH

Thanks for the update Terry... still hoping to get out on Firday for some Perchies... I asume that ice was made last night and one can stroll out with caution? thanks, HH

Well, that shoots Friday's plans all to H E double hockey sticks! Thanks for the heads up Terry, the Perch will live another day... and so will I! HH

Heading out of the office soon, calling it a year! Probably won't be on the computer for a while, so I thought I'd take a moment here and wish everyone a safe and healthy and happy holiday season! I hope to get out for some perch, if the ice gods allow us to do so, but in any event, have a great holiday everyone! HH

Uhm... these guys are "pretty good"!! LOL HH

Nice!!!! HH

I wish you luck in finding thta wine in any LCBO! My wife has been scouring the LCBO for this stuff, they tell her that she will be able to buy it, in 09! HH

Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush... man o man, I'd honestly completely forgot about them... my favorite version of Norwegian Wood... HH

Holy crap Peter... you've just revisited my youth! Thanks for the Max stuff... love High CLass... HH

The trophy was given to us on Sunday morning, to pass along to Lexington, as his cottage was next door to ours. We put it in his cottage while they were out fishing Sunday morning, assuming they were coming back to the cottage... which they didn't. I beleive that Lexington posted re the trophy and if anyone was going to be near Perfect View, could they bring it back with them. Apparently, Perfect View still has it! HH

He takes the good one's first Brian... terrible time of year to have this happen. You have my thoughts this day. HH

He's gone now, but there has never been or may never be anyone better! Ladies and gentleman, I give you ... "The Ox"!!! "There can be only one!!!!" HH

Thanks for the report SD... I always look forward to Hamilton Steve's December reports... reminds me of my youth! LOL Congrats on stickin it out and yah, you sure don't feel the cold when their biting!!! HH
