As Luvtodrift stated, there are many opportunities in the area, none that are really that great! The river in Port Franks has a decent smallie population, same can be said for many of the rivers (creeks more like it this time of year!) in the area. If GaryV spots this thread, he might have some more options for you as he lives just down the road from the Bend. Good luck! HH

Yash Cliff, growing up in London, I spent many a May 24 weekend at the Pinery... they tell me I had a good time, I'll take there word on it! HH

You can fish the river/pier right in Grand Bend for Perch, the various rivers that enter into the Lake are all no more than a 1/2 hour drive from the Bend. Where exactly will you be staying? Grand Bend itself or one of the many other spots in the area. Ipperwash PP? HH

Nice boat Tony! You might want to consider getting Wayne to take a look at it before you take delivery.... HH

Interesting... I didn't know that Sturgeon were so aggressive as to remove a pinky?!! Nest time she should try bait instead of digits!LOL HH

Congrats... looks like you only know how to "put the stem on the apple"! I bet your wife is thinkin girl some time soon! Great lookin family... congrats! HH

A great tried and true recipe! I use my roasting pan instead of tin foil, makes it easier to remove the birds from the grill when their done. Also, just a tip, but ensure that you use a liquid, what ever it is in the can at room temperature. Taking a cold beer out of the fridge and using it will slow the cooking process and reduce the amount of moisture transfered to the bird! HH

Sweet report and great pics FnS! You gott'em dialed in this year! HH

Not sure about this, but are you allowed to have two fishing licenses under the same name? Great report, lookin forward to your new camera so we can really see some of those fish! HH

Hey Fishnfriend... click on this link http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=WKR ... actually, it looks like a secondary front is emerging, probably from day time heating. HH

My favorite bumper sticker ever... "Sorry for driving so close... in front of you!" Saw this on a car in front of me, driving up the 400 a coupla years back... yes we were not moving at the time! HH

Great intro and welcome to the board! Trolling cranks off of planer boards, matchin the hatch so to speak will net you some eye's/pickeral... and some monster smallies in there as well! HH

Congrats Wayne and family! Have a great holiday and when you get back... we can talk about that tie!!!!! WOW, we need to go shoppin Bud! HH

Thanks to all who have replied... great info there and especially to DanC for removing the rose coloured glasses I've been wearing and getting me to think that my dream trip is significantly more within my reach... if I can afford the gas!LOL And to Moosebunk for clearing up the difference between flying in and a 5 star hotel!LOL HH

No problem FnS! Just make sure you get insurance for it... to ensure that we can get it out on Quinte in December!!!LOL I'll drop it off at your house on the way home from Picton! HH PS... just drop the keys in the mail box... I'll figure it out!

Congrats to you and your family! I have only two words of advice for you... DIAPER GENIE!!!!! HH

One of my life passions is to some day, fly into a remote lake, spend a week in the wilderness, catch fish and enjoy the company of like minded people. After reading some of the threads lately about "challenges" some have faced with these services, the question that comes to mind is; "Is this kind of situation common? Have others had similar experiences at other camps as well?" What do you look for when making a decision about which camp to I spend my hard earned money on? Obviously, a resource such as this is a good starting point, but what else do you do/use to make a "buying" decision. Thanks, HH

Here's my dry rub recipe; 3 parts Kosher salt 3 parts garlic powder 3 parts Paprika one part cayene pepper one part onion powder one part oregeno one part thyme one part basil one part cracked black pepper one part chili powder Combine all the ingredients PS... this is an AWESOME RUB for wings as well! Generously rub onto FULL RACKS and wrap and store in the fridge over night if possible. Grilling: You will be using the in-direct method to cook on the grill. This method requires you to light the BBQ and bring it up to approx. 350degrees. Once the temp is obtained, shut ONE side of the BBQ off. Lay the full racks on the side that's off, stacking the racks on top of each other. (This method does require multiple racks or you can simple cut the full rack in half and stack them on each other that way) Rotate the racks every 20 min to 1/2 hour, putting the bottom rack at the top. Eventually, all of the ribs will have been both at the bottom of the pile and at the top. Continue to do this, until the ribs have cooked through. Feel free to add more of the dry rub, every time you rotate the racks. Should you wish to add BBQ sauce, wait until the ribs are almost done cooking, or the sauce will burn onto the ribs. I have another recipe that does include boiling, but you indicated that you wanted the "dry" version and I think this has worked best for me in the past! Good luck Joey... What time should I arrive! HH

I knew it wasn't the camera jinxin yah... it was that little FishnSled voodoo doll I had made up! I didn't know you were going out this weekend past, or I would have engaged it's magic! Nice report and pics bud! HH

Asked the service rep at my dealership what injector cleaner to use on my 4.3 ltr. Jimmy. Was told not to use any as it will muck up the injector and intake manifold gasket. So, I haven't used it at all! Might be worth lookin into before you run some through your engine. HH

Just announced that the Islanders have bought out Yashin's contract, all four remaining years! Didn't he used to play for Ottawa as well? LOL Maybe the Islanders will take Alfie off there hands! HH

Hey Rick, a little black electrical tape on the lense of your dashboard should stop that light from bothering you! HH
