Well, IMHO, it's not the anglers or their limits that are causing "challenges" with the fishery. HH

Funny, but I haven't seen a fish above the slot in years on that lake... oh, there are "plenty" of fish below the slot and the occasional fish just into the slot, but from my experience, nothing but small fish. Once again, the anglers it appears will take the brunt to accommodate others. I would say that in my last 4 or 5 trips up, I have not taken home any fish as my two fish limit of 14inch fish simply isn't enough for a feed of one, much less a family of four. But there are lots of fish still in Nip! HH

That thing seems like an ideal product to take down south on a beach vacation. I know I could have and would have used one when I was in Cuba a couple of weeks ago! I could see me catching little reef fish with that all day long... sure would beat the boredom of just sitting on the beach watching the world go by... HH

Sorry for your loss Lew. I can only imagine the pain my family will go through when our lab gets to that point. Remember your morning walks and smile knowing that you gave Marvin everything a dog could want in life. HH

They'd probably net more money if they focused more on the locals and some of their "sense of entitlement" then "tourists" only there for a week. HH

That was our encore! Many thanks again Bernie for the invite and sharing your little piece of heaven. I hope next year, we don't have to watch "Ray" again!!! LOL It may take until May to get the smelt stink out of the cottage! LOL (Not a fan of smelts here!!!) I still say that Brian ruined our pike bait buy cooking those things up! HH

Frenchman's Bay is like a holding pool for runoff from both Durham and Scarborough. That run off as we all know has a very high salt content this time of year. Frenchman's Bay is pretty shallow and only at the mouth, which is fairly narrow is it exposed to the open lake. I would expect that in some places, there may well be plenty of ice to drive on, yet in others, well obviously not. Hopefully this incident helps to keep more people off the ice or at least those who don't know better... HH

Unfortunately we lost one of the world's greatest guitar players, Paco de Lucia passed away at his home in Mexico the other day. I was fortunate enough to seen him here in Toronto a few years ago... man could that guy play. If you are a fan of flaminco guitar, you will know who he was. the above link is my personal favorite... check it out. He is playing with Al Dimeola. RIP Paco HH

Just had a quick look at the radar, seems the front has pretty much broken up at this point. Is the trouble on the 400 the result of blowing snow or actual snow fall? HH

Pretty clear here in the East End Lew... the occasional snow flurry and that danged wind, but not too much too worry about. HH

Perch fishing, I usually drill 10-20 holes per spot. It seems that I can do that all day and still have fuel left in the tank. Drill away! HH

You're right Chad, the bun does look a little over-done... HH

To help keep the leadcore down in higher current areas, you could try putting a snap on weight, 1 oz etc on your line where your leader and core are joined. As far as baits are concerned, small Hot n Tot in Jimmie Hendrix, would be my bait of choice in the spring. Experiment with different size snap weights to determin which works best, based on current conditions. HH

I wonder if you could get a side of bacon with that? HH

Sweet Pickereyes!!!!! Thanks for the report! HH

Aint no sport in that Bill! HH

This was sent to me today and I thought I'd pass it along... No need for a meter, just drop to know! http://www.youtube.com/embed/Y_m6p99l6ME HH

Thanks Drew, I really enjoyed that! Nothing like stickin 'em in the brain on the hook set! Thanks for taking the time and showing us! HH

I got the same call, claiming they were calling from Microsoft. Is said, really, Microsoft is calling little ole me? Yup, we're calling from Microsoft because your computer is infected and is infecting the entire internet. I couldn't help but laugh, but carried on... So I asked her, how did Microsoft get my phone number? I know for a fact that at no time when registering my operating system, does Microsoft ask for my personal information, specifically my phone number. She insisted that I did. Once again, I couldn't help myself and started to laugh, a lot. She took offense to that and insisted that she was calling from Microsoft. I said, ok, what operating systems is my computer running? She tried to deflect the question essentially saying that I was insulting her and Microsoft with my questions. After another good hardy chest laugh, I hung up. I have to wonder if any of these folks have mirrors in their homes and how the heck they can walk by it, look at themselves and not cringe and their humanity(or lack there of!). HH

I could watch the three sisters from Quebec all day, any day! To me, they are what being Canadian and an Olympian are all about... and they are HOT! LOL HH

That makes sense Zenon, however what I can't get my head around is the fact that as a residential consumer, paying the highest rate of the day when I fire up my stove/oven, essentially equates to me and my family subsidising the province's industries power bills. So, if I need to save money and still do the day to day living thing, according to our wonderful provincial government, I should be doing laundry in the middle of the night or weekends. I guess I should also alter my family's meal times so I can save money there as well! Dinner will be at 3:00pm or after 8:00pm. And the price of hydro is expected to rise by 50% in the next decade... Now, according to the news this morning, the Hydro workers could well be on strike soon! Pickering is past it's due date to be de-commissioned, Bruce is privately owned (thanks Mike Harris!) Darlington has so many cost over runs, I could go on. Yet those "in the know" want me and my family to pay pay pay, while they cut/subsidize private industry. Am I missing something here? HH

We'll stop you when you're wrong O.I.! HH

Hey Cliff, I have a Jimmy you can run into anytime... I'll take $900.00 and call it even! LOL Take the advice here and just forget about it... the onus is on him to follow up. HH

I was advised by a friend in the know to stay as far away from that as possible Cliff. When I bought my current house, the previous owner had the "Peak Saver" installed on the A/C. Well, the A/C bought the farm within a week of us moving in and I had to get it replaced. The tech who installed the A/C removed the "Peak Saver" from the circuit and it is still resting comfortably in my garage! I should just throw the darned thing out! I was also advised to keep my analog thermostat and it's much less likely to go fubar then the more sophisticated digital ones. HH
