Great report Terry and funny enough, you didn't mention a thing about all the "Terry clones" you took the pic of... no wonder you keep going back! HH

I bet you could get a big pile of meat from that catch! What's the proper holding technique for taking pics? HH

Fantastic offer Cliff... very generous of you! I wish you th best of luck in your new "career" and hope it amounts to everything you want it to! HH

Awesome report and pics... looks like you guys had a great time, despite the adversity... thaks for taking the time! HH

Interesting... a first for me that's for sure... just wondering if it's still swimmin? HH

I hope not Roy! Thanks to all who have replied here and via PM's. My goal was not to start any bickering, just poll the group for their ideas. Thanks again all... some good stuff here! ... especially the Gobie Chartering! LOL HH

Be careful with the Cerwin Vegas! They are typically a significantly more efficient speaker than most on the market and as such, you will have sound balance issues if your not running Vegas on all speakers. I'd stick to the Paradigm (That's what I have) or PSB's (both manufactured in Canada) As for the Panasonic vs the Denon... two different classes of applification so power ratings go right out of the window! The Denon is a much better machine. Same class as say a Yamaha or Marantz. For the money, if you can find a dealer in your area, check out the Onkyo surround reciever... excellent sound and really good power supply built in... that's the main thing that usually goes first in audio equipment. HH

Interesting point Raf... and you may be correct. I'm going to run this thread past him and see what he says! HH

Advertising here was definately brought up in our chat, however experience has taught him that advertising on fishing sites like this do little to increase business. Folks that frequent here are far more likely to go out on their own than hire a guide. It's like trying to sell Bibles to the choir! Appreciate the thoughts folks... any others? HH

A good friend of mine has been guiding for a number of years and he and I were talking about how he can potentially increase the number of charters he does per year. We talked about advertising in magazines and bantered back and forth which publications should be considered. Any ideas which publications you'd consider a good investment for his advertising dollars and why? Thanks all! HH

I've had it happen to me more times than I'd care to remember! Most vivid memory is from fishin the Goderich pier for carp. Was with some newbies who were having a hard time tying their line so I moseyed over to help, looked over at my rod, only to see it being dragged into the lake. Grabbed my friends rod, tied on a 3/4 oz pixie spoon I had in my box and started draggin the bottom. Caught my line, my rod and eventually the 5lb carp that dragged it into the water! I think that rod has gone in the drink far too many times... I may be pushin my luck with it! HH

Years ago as a teen, a few buddys and myself were in a 12 ft tinny on Long Point bay. I had just purchased a new "floating fillet knife" and was eager to show my buddys that it did indeed float! I dropped over the side and watched in horror as it sank quickly to the bottom! Turns out it only float when it is out of the sheath! Live and learn! HH

Facts to know about job searching/advertising for employment opportunities; 70% of available jobs are filled by employee referrals 20% by online job boards and newspaper advertisement 10% by employment agencies Sorry for stealing the thread, thought some of you should know. Sounds like a great opportunity to learn some skills, get some much needed hands on work experience and a career path toward an individuals short, medium and long term plans. Good luck! HH

Get him to give you a deal on a weekend during November or December and get out on Quinte and catch some of those mommas! That should help to eliminate some of your "buyer regret"! HH

Congrats on the win! I just watched the video and it was pretty funny! Well deserved! HH

As Biteme says... Pearl White or Fire Tiger! HH

That Carp is massive! Great job! I can see how that would provide many hours of entertainment of such light equipment! Well done! HH

Actually Roy, I was quite content to leave them alone or should I say, I didn't even know they were there until I got stung just walking past the nest! I can't recall the last time I was stung, until this recent episode, but with small kids and a family friend who's extremely allergic to stings, I felt I had to get rid of them. Sure is a lot of fun whackin them with the electric swatter though... guys gotta get his yaw yaws out some how! HH

I had a Yellow Jacket problem a few weeks ago, they had established themselves where my deck meets the house. Being the adventurous type, I bought some wasp killer from CTC and also brought out my "bug Eliminator" electronic tennis racket type bug killer. I ensured that the family was inside and during the day, sprayed the nest with the killer. Some of those little guys, shall we say were unhappy with my efforts and came out at me with a vengeance! With my handy Bug Eliminator at hand, I had a riot zapping them and letting them know that unless and until they start paying the mortgage on the house, they are not welcome! I picked the Bug Eliminator up a BPS... anyone who sees it can't put it down! LOL HH

If ya need any "ballast" on Quinte this fall Terry... just drop me a line! HH

Nice ride Terry! Lookin forward to seeing it out on Quinte this fall... looks like the perfect boat for those waters and Simcoe! Enjoy! HH

The board has been acting very strange today, for me anyway. Multiple times today, I have had the site time out or just not be available for me to view. Has anyone else had this problem today? Thanks HH

Never go barefoot in a boat! Bugs, hooks all prevent me from even considering it as an option. I like my runners and the secure feeling of freedom they allow me to have! HH

Congrats! I hope health and happiness follow you and your family! HH

Here's a link to a potential solution to stupidity... subtle, but effective and fairly difficult to spot... http://www.catsdomain.com/ Bell sinkers work pretty good! I suggest a quick "waterline" shot and problem should be solved! HH
