By no means an expert in this sort of thing, but I understand that employees are fairly low on the list of who gets paid out first, in bankruptcy situations. If I were you. I'd concentrate on securing future employment and wait out the year or two it will take to find out if you are in line for any funds. If you do see some money, consider it a bonus! Also, if you are a union employee, than the union should be working on your behalf to get it's membership everything thye are due... let the union spend money on lawyers. Sorry for your circumstances... I'm sure all will end up well! HH

Picasa is simple, easy to use and free! I like it! HH

Congrats guys! That's really a sweet Brownie! HH

Thanks FishnSled... Appreciate it! HH

CLiff... I left out the Marijuana Party because I don't think they exist any more. That or they are all out gettin munchies some where!LOL HH

I had every intention of voting for the PC's, simply due to my disgust for Dalton and his boys! However, I now find myself in a real challenging position as I simply cannot vote for anyone who wants to fund religious based schools, with public money. IMHO- we should not fund any faith based schools, and yes I do also mean the Catholic School boards as well. As this county becomes more and more ethnically diverse, we do need some kind of glue to hold us together, and separating our children based on religion is not the solution. Thant leaves me with the choices of NDP or Green and that's why I'm having a really hard time! Rhino's anyone!?LOL HH

There are few days that everyone can remember where they were when something happened... this is one. My thoughts to all who died and survived this terrible day. HH

Man, that is a sweet coho! Congrats! HH

Don't want to be argumentative JB, but there will have to be quite a few over loaded boats out there to clear out all the pan fish in just about any lake. And pan-fish do relate to shore lines, but mostly, they relate to their food, regardless of where it is on the lake. Like I said earlier, I'd rather folks get their "fill" of pan fish, then other game fish who's numbers can't afford over harvesting. HH

Thanks for un-complicating my convoluted post douG! HH

:D HH

Here's another thing to consider with respect to your drag. The tension on the spool changes significantly based on the amount of line on the spool at the time. For instance, if you set your drag before you cast out 150ft of line, the amount of strength required to pull out drag will be X, but the amount of strength to pull out the drag with 150ft of line out will be significantly different. Remember, with line out, the spool becomes "smaller" and therefore requires more pull, to get the drag to release! Man, I don't know if I made any sense there!LOL HH

Thanks for that Cliff! Guess my "little" 12 lber I caught last weekend wasn't that big after all! HH

Just wondering how big do Coho get, specifically in Lake O.? What's considered at trophy and what's a good one? Thanks all! HH

Good lookin lad there Clive and family! Congrats! HH

Congrats on 30 Terry! It a real accomplishment in these times. HH

I was close by there on Saturday morning and I saw nothing happening for the hour and a bit I was there. Hopefully soon! HH

I was gonna ask the same question Roy! Musta had a really good negotiator on your side when you worked out that job offer !LOL HH

Ok... here's my take on this... yes, they must follow the rules and only keep their limits. They must also abide by all the other regs... but from what I can tell, most of these folks are shore fishing and as such, can't possibly empty a body of water of it's pan fish. Personally, I'd rather have them shore bound keeping 3 in. Sunfish, then out on the lake, keeping OOS smallies or whatever! With today's spending measures in place, I guess the MNR have to pick their times/battles! HH

You should not have a problem with any Salmon on 8lb line... question I have is, what size/type of rod are you using? A standard 7 ft. medium rod is not going to cut it! You need a very long rod and PATIENCE! I've seen guys fight salmon for hours on light line! They will beat the fish, if they have the patience. As Bob said, set your drag, pull up a chair and fight it out! Your obviously doing something right, your getting hook ups! Also, as suggested, check your line frequently... zebra mussels will make quick order of your line, with even the slightest rub on the bottom. And mono is far more forgiving then no stretch on those long runs. HH

Well done Cliff! I guess if you have to get out, a big Chinny is better than a few pannies! HH

I rear ended a car this morning... I knew it was going to be a REALLY bad day. The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF! He looked up at me and said, "I am NOT happy". I said, "Well, which one ARE you then?" That's when the fight started!!! HH

HH

I've seen a 6 footer caught on the French, near Noelville and also seen some pretty biggins caught on the St. Clair river. (Sturgeon) I have to agree with Deano though, your more likely to tie into a big Chinny and have your arms ripped out, then you are to connect with a big old Sturgeon. HH

Ok... now I'm confused! Aniceguy, your info is the same as some of the 2nd hand info I've received... the Ganny and the Wilmont both travel through the Ganaraska forrest and that water stays pretty darn cold all summer long! Any further info re Koho and it's ablity to reproduce naturally in the Lake O basin? I don't like or want to kill any fish for no reason... kind of a no win situation here? HH
