Tonyb is better lookin! HH

The only way to ensure that you don't have hours of cleaning ahead of you is to let them all go! As far as speeding up the process, I'd reccomend scaling them and then filleting them and leaving the skin on. It's faster and the skin gives the meat a little more flavour. HH

BTW -Terry, I'm following someone else next year! HH

Gerritt, great to finally meet you! Actually, really great to see some now familiar faces, meet some new folks and all in all, laugh the morning away! Someone mentioned, when we were packing up, how quickly the morning went by! Time does fly when your having fun and it goes by even faster when your laughing! Many thanks to all who worked so hard to put such a fantastic day together for us! Big Clff, those sausages were awesome! Already lookin forward to the Lakair GTG! I know we'll get more fish! HH

The only thing missing in that bisquit pic, is about 20 ounces of med rare Prime Rib! Meat, if it wan't good for you, the good lord wouldn't have put so much of it on the planet! HH

Only if you claim the income! HH

Olive oil, garlic, roasted red peppers, chile pepper flakes, a dash of balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and let that big beauty sit in that overnight! Two minutes on a really hot grill... oh baby! HH

Not sure yet, I have to ask Terry tomorrow morning! I believe we will atleast start out after Lakers and Whities... depending on the bite, may move closer in for some dinner... uhm, I mean perch! HH

Well, I've been in training for this event since early in the new year. I'll have my jogging suit on underneath my float suit, so if Terry does bring his ATV out, I can at least run for a while, trying to stick to him like glue! HH

As already mentioned, the stainless has a few up sides. The down side, you'll be taking your prop off every time you park your trailored boat, for fear of someone stealing it! The other option is to sleep under yer boat! HH

I'm heading out of downtown/east end of Toronto to the GTG, anticipating arriving at around 6:30am. I have an open seat for the ride up and back for anyone who needs one. I don't expect any re-imbursment, just offering someone without wheels, a ride up. PM me if your interested! HH

It seems to me that a Lead Core set up would be the best of all worlds for your application... then, you could run just about any crank you want, at the desired depth. Also, don't forget about Offshore's snap weight system as another alternative. For cranks, try; Wally Divers, LJ Power Dives, Manns Stretch 20, HotnTot, any deep diving Rap ... HH

Jsut a suggestion re the HP camera. Have you tried removing the batteries and letting it sit for about 1/2 an hour, then reloading the batteries and starting up? It should then default to brand new/initial status. I had a similar problem with my Nikon point and shoot, called Nikon and that was their suggestion... and it worked. Hope this helps? HH

For that time of year, I would recommend fishing Big Bay and staying right in Belleville. I'd search out areas that have ready access to deep water, such as the mouths of some of the larger bays. These bays will heat up faster than the big body areas and you will find the eyes and pike are staging in and around these bay mouths, feeding on minnows and perch. There are plenty of places that will provide you with accomadation, including docking facilities and if your right in Belleville, there's plenty of places to eat. HH

Doh! Sorry to hear that Wayne... looks like mother nature forgot her sense of humour! As already mentioned, just really glad no one was standing near it when it came down! A good opportunity for an "inventory check!" HH

I believe it's around 10 k to the Lighthouse and back. There are numerous places to fish along the various shore lines, most however would require waders/tubes or a boat to get out to fishable waters. HH

I've have a friend of mine who has the 5 peice rod/reel and case, he uses it for his fly in trips every spring. He really likes the combo, but has suggested that you keep a very close eye on the rod segments. They can come apart and fly off into the water. I think if you kept an eye on them, you should be fine. HH

I don't mind a bit CK! HH

All I need is enough to get me to the GTG and back! I had a full tank yesterday, but my wife's driving the "siphon" around today... who knows how much will be left! HH

Hey Kevin, I'm at Dundas and Greenwood, puts me close to you and Lew! Sounds like the beginnings of a GTG! Perhaps we could bring this topic up again, as we get closer? Wouldn't mind hooking up if I can get away for a few hours. HH

If you find that the Pike are tasting "overly fishy", simply soak the fillets in milk for a coupla of hours in the fridge and most of the "fisheyness" will be gone! HH

Pike caught through the ice are excellent table fair! I'm usually pretty cautious when the water gets warmer, but I really do enjoy a feed of pike. HH

I guess I would enjoy spending a couple of days in a boat with Red Fisher and Al Lindner. Red, simply for the stories and I'm sure laughs and Al, well I'm pretty sure he would get on my nerves, he seems like the nervous type, but I know I would learn a ton from him! HH PS... non fishing types would be Marilyn Monroe and Anna Nicole Smith. That would be an interesting boat ride!

That colour scheme will definately clash with pink! HH

Best wishes and a speedy recovery! Yah really gotta be careful out there, way too many people think they are invincible and have no regard for their fellow man! HH
