Thanks for the report Cliff! I did not catch a Lamb this weekend. That pic has to be from some time in the past. How did yours taste? Like chicken? HH

Well said Craig! Yet another year lost, fast approaching. HH

Brian, any pool store will have them there for you. They are commonly used to hold vacuum heads or skimmer heads to poles. Check out a pool supply store, but like anything else used in the pool supply world, expect a higher price than a hardware store. HH

Future NASCAR driver? HH

They aren't gonna find any nets up on that rock! HH

Very nice Bernie... did you happen to spot any new shoals while you were up there? HH

It might not be that far in the future before it will be mandatory to be wearing a PFD whenever you are on the water. Listening to the Fish n Canada boys on the radio on the weekend, they were saying that Uncle Katy and her crew at Queens Park are talking about making life jackets mandatory... they must be worn, not just at hand. Hmmm... nanny state or cash grab? HH

He should have turned right. HH

Bring a spare prop! HH

Can't really help with the West Arm, but I was on the French, near Alban, the second week of July and the water levels were at normal seasonal levels. The weed growth at that time was said to be a month behind normal growth. Best guess would be things are more like July up there, than August. Hope that helps. HH

Rhythm is a terrible thing to waste! Luckily for you, you didn't have much to start with! LOL Looks like fun B! Funny enough, that song is on my list to learn for the coming bar season! Did yah catch any fish? HH

Well, Terry and Brian are only a couple of pieces of equipment away form being able to do this...I expect this may have started a whole new system! Cool video... HH

I agree with all of the above with one thing to add... be sure to bring a camera along to capture and save those memories. HH

What a great report! Thanks for taking the time to share! The pics are fantastic! HH

Well, I prefer a hot summer. This nonsense should be "enjoyed" during May and September. I blame that dirty rotten jet stream. HH

To the Op... the good news in your report is that yes, there are some recent year classes that successfully spawned and your recent trip showed that. The bad news is that those fish you caught recently probably won't have a chance to do the same as they will likely be caught by the nets when they reach the right size. We have beaten this topic six ways from Sunday on this message board. May I suggest that you use the search function here and have a read through the many topics and posts. I have learned a ton about the challenges facing Nip in following these posts. Happy searching! HH

Nicely done Bernie...now you just need another cedar strip boat so you have a boat for each motor! HH

I ran into the same situation with my 96 Jimmy recently Steve. The main components of the truck were working perfectly... most of the accessories, well, not so much. The dealership offered me $300.00 for it, when I was buying my Ford Flex. Basically, they were going to squish it and that was that. I figured that they would make money even on that aspect, so I decided to donate the truck to Kars for Kids. They are an organization that supports under-privileged kids and uses the money they get for vehicles for kids camps, books etc.. They take care of everything, including towing my vehicle, at no cost to me. Once the vehicle is processed, they send you a tax receipt for $300.00. Just thought I'd pass that along! BTW - The Kidney Foundation will do the same thing... I actually called them first, but no one answered the phone, so Kars for Kids it was! HH

Agreed! thanks for the update Crosshairs! I can read the frustration in your words! Curious, when is the next election of councilors due? Thanks, HH

Well, it's been experience that addicts aren't necessarily the most prudent folks on the planet. If it is "addicts" that are setting these nets illegally, it's also seems logical that they may well have been under the influence, while setting the nets resulting in un-anchored nets, nets that can't be found as they can't remember where they put them etc. I won't point fingers as to who's responsible, but I sure would like to see all parties unite their resources in an effort to not only stop this, but clean up the mess that's already there. HH

Aint nobody better to get spanked by, then your Dad! I like that Pickereye shot! HH

I'll second the pool tubes for storage Brian. HH

Congrats to you both Gerritt! I bet the grand parents are tickled pink! Definitely a cutie! Get's that from his Mom! HH

Probably not Bill, but if you leave them in your boat, tied up in or near a public marina, well all bets are off! lol HH
