Headhunter

I remember as a kid, my Dad called them "Michigan Wobblers"... HH

I saw on the news last night that outside of Vancouver and the Island, the warmest place in Canada yesterday was .... Whitehorse! -9C.... HH

That'll put hair on yer chest like barb wire! Brrrrrrr.... HH

Oh my... HH

I just wanted to thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread. A special thanks to the mods for allowing this conversation to continue. I have learned a lot from the various points of view here and I hope to continue to learn more as this thread and the movement mature. I may not agree with many points of view, but I do believe in the right to express ones self... Dialogue is going to be the path that leads to answers so lets let the dialogue continue. HH

I have to agree with you Captain! I have been to Nip for the last four openers, arriving mid day Friday, before the opener. Seems every year, we sit out and enjoy the great weather on Friday, wishing we could wet a line, only to awake Saturday morning to a snow storm, driving rain or fire and brimstone! Being able to wet a line on the Friday would be great! HH

Maybe we should make up our own Idle No More posters and blockade the fish processing plant on Nip... since the depletion of all species in the lake due to gill netting is not conducive to mother nature's continued well being.. HH

Then they shoud shut down some highways and rail lines and disrupt peoples lives in Great Britain... I prefer to think of it as "rent to own"... and I've paid a lot of rent over the years. HH

You forgot these... 5. Because Idle No More is challenging mainstream images and stereotypes of passive/victimized indigenous subjects and providing visibility for alternative voices 6. Because Idle No More is raising unprecedented awareness regarding the Right of Indigenous Peoples and the rights of Canadian inhabitants 7. Because Idle No More provides an opportunity to re-think social, political and economic relations in ways that include environmental, spiritual, and communitarian values 8. Because as immigrants we have the responsibility to engage in dialogue with the original peoples of these lands! I have very low expectations of the accomplishment of government, regardless of who is running it. I simply care about how much I have to pay and am I getting my money's worth. You get that way after a while... HH

Our country's economy is heavily weighted in the resource sector. Our ability to globally compete, strictly from a labour perspective is virtually gone. A have province like Ontario is now a have not province. So, our PM (duly elected) decides to push through legislation that will limit special interest groups ability to tie up money making ventures for years.He is using our our country's best assetts... resources. What should our PM do, let our country fall into a third world status as the current third world catches up to us. We have to sell our resources to have any kind of economic future. No economy, no money for anyone. RE Captain Hooks point above... I agree and to those who may not, take a drive by Ipperwash and have a good look... custodians of the land... ha! HH

Aboringal Sovernty would mean self sufficiency to me… and we all know that aint gonna happen. HH ..

I don't see my group anywhere in that list... opps, yes I do, at the very top where it indicates how much tax payers give annually. HH

Hypothetically, should the Idle No More protests get their demands met, will this end what seems to be an endless cycle of protest, poverty etc...or is the only solution for non natives to return their or their ancestors country of origin? From what I've seen and yes, it may be only what the media wants me to see, but it sure seems to me that we have two "nations" fighting over the same land. So to the poster who asked, aren't we all Canadians, it seems not. HH

Well, I have tried tickling a fishes bottom with a feather hoping it would die of laughter, but that never worked. The finger trick was my second option... aplumma, you're a wise man... HH

I'm left handed... HH

Guys, can we please keep this thread on topic... HH

Spiel is a world class Sheeps head man, the best I've ever seen at sight fishing these silver marvels... I want to be like him this year... no, strike that, I want/need to beat him! HH

Try the finger trick, it'll take your mind off of the hypocracy of the whole thing... just sayin! HH

No Roy, I pull them from the drink and then they become dinner... HH

X3... with honourable mention to a place in Port Stanley that serves up Perch and Pickereye... HH

No, but I have to admit that I do have have hard time not battering my finger! HH

Your reports never disappoint! Thanks for taking the time... HH

Once I determin that I am planning on keeping a fish, I insert my right index finger into the anus of the fish. Helps to determin the fish's sex. If it's a female, I release the fish to spawn another day... if it's a male fish, it usually asks to die after that experience anyway. HH

I have a deep heart felt desire to catch a bigger Sheep's Head then Spiel. HH
