Bob - I agree. Jerry, Larry and I will be testing them out as well come 2010 season. A very interesting idea and great alternative to the real thing. C

Here's a wishin' a happy birthday to my Dad who always had time to take his sons fishin' So in my father's honor, I thought I might take a trip back down memory lane... ready? My Father's first boat... after the hurricane came through... true story! I'm sure many LOU members were familiar with this era... some even call it "the good ol' days" A young Larry (wonder if he knew about the huge hole in his pants at the time picture was taken?) Smokin' + Aviators + Salmon = PRETTY FREAKIN' COOL! Glad pa let us tag along that day Nothing like hiking up the shorts as high as they can go and dropping a line Here is to many more years on the water to come!

Larry - Thanks for the XMAS Card! I loved it! Zach - thanks for sharing some pics! Very nice

Happy B-Day Scott See you on the ice!

Welcome aboard CS! Make yourself at home

Nice fish Iceman! My brother happened to send me a picture of your 9.2lb fish. I also heard you had some good solid ice (6"-8") out there. Probably a little less tomorrow but good luck to those that do get out.

Thanks for the reports Scott! Saves me the gas and time...

Thanks Brian - might try on Thursday before the warm weather comes back to town...

Darn...... that is too bad. Was looking to get out on Braddocks possibly Christmas Eve. How thick was the ice Scott/Rob?

Zach - I got some lures that could use some repainting after this year on Chautauqua. Do you have a price range? Thanks - Chad

Great news Rick! St. Mary's is a great place as both my cousin and grandmother were there for a while. Infact my cousin was there after a car accident with a tractor trailor in which his brain had swelled up to a point they need to do surgery on his head to let the swelling down. It was a scary time but we watched him go through a very similar situation as your father went through and he is doing great now. You father seems as if he is on a similar path to recovery and we hope to see him back out there on the water very soon. I know how scary this whole time of uncertainty can be.... By the way, was that you that I saw at the Dane Cook show at Blue Cross?

Wow..... 24 feet..... that is almost twice the size of my boat

That is a good link Bob! Thanks for sharing. I will be watching it throughout the day to see how crazy things get out there....

For those of you who are Pro Members, you can check out the wave forecast link in the left column under Fishing Resource Links - I do not ever recall having seen a forecast on Ontario calling for waves of 17 FEET! I wonder how well those turbines would hold up?

I spend 3 hours every night replacing all the lights you guys break each day... Merry Christmas to you too
