Age is unimportant, experience is less so -- there is a sudden flutter i in the heart, the body warms and moments later a yellow sided finned The scene? Lake Scugog. The event? The The only fish eligible to enter will be walleye over one pound. I would encourage entrants to release all fish under the minimum weight. For ticket information, contact your favourite Caesarea Walleye tourney Feb. 1 firefj ighter, or me, John Ellis, at 986-0934. ° The date? Saturday, Tetras 1 T5957 The Ticket price is set at $10 per person and there are 14 prizes up for grabs, including cash. A fun part of this tournament is, if you purchase a ticket and. you don't catch a fish, you are still eli- gible to win a prize with a cash value of more than $400. There will be a senior division, age 12 plus, and a junior division, under 12. What's more, there will be five draw prizes for those who enter fish that don't make the top three in the junior or senior divisions, a hidden weight prize and a largest fish You bet! Lots of luck! Over the next several weeks, I will try to keep all interested folks in touch with the action on Lake Scugog. Sharpén those hooks, because reports of larger fish action. On the east side of the lake, the action has been scattered and varied, but a good starting point for early season action would be Pine ¢ Point or William's Point. Dave Tripp of Scugog Bait and Tackle has reported this week that the heaviest fish entered to date in their tournament is 8 Ibs., 9 oz. A fish this size is an excellent start to the winter season and should encourage everyone to get out and give ice fishing on Lake Scugog a try. Are there bigger ones?

Friends I hadn't seen for ages flew in from down East. Was 1 excited about that. I could hardly wait to see them again, and listen to this.......what a bonus. They were actually bring- : ing live lobsters. we had lobster &= : I ee oso re tf ects oc whole body. It was wonderful to sit down by a cozy fire and catch up on the news before dinner. The problem started when I actually saw the lob- sters. 1 was fine until I looked in their eyes, you know. Those lobsters knew what fate had in store for them. I swear I could see tears in their eyes.......OK, maybe just misty eyes, but the emotions were there. They were about to die. I ask you, is it my fault I became attached to ? I suppose [real ly must develop a tougher outer skin, but I can't see this in the near future, nor am I planning on it. . : insisted that my friends would not boij these little creatures! They knew I was serious when I offered to sacrifice myself instead. I mean, it * wouldn't be the first time I found myself in hot water. : The would-be murderers" mood didn't improve much when I served them the famous Captain's fish Sticks instead. Boy, some people can sure get huffy! It wasn't as if I was forgetting the sea-food them® Shortly thereafter the people left and they were of course a little miffed at me. However, I found solace with my new friends. We had lobster races in the basement. I thought I was winning at one point; but with the being damp and all that, they had the advantage. I'm not a poor sport, but I twa bit slow and suffer from 8 uch of arthritis, OK? 1 wok them for short walks, but only when it was raining. Lobsrs need moisture. And yes, of course; I sprinkled salt on them every few. blocks. Give me credit for brains, folks. It goes without saying during our walks, that T made "wooshing" sounds like the breaking of ocean waves. @ And every three hours or so, I did a pretty good imitation of sea- gulls flying over-head. Lobsters enjoy this. It makes them fell as if they are in their own environment. And I just ignored the stares from people driving by. They were probably feeling guilty cause they didn't take the time to walk their pets 1 kept them val wb wil 2 bit oF sea-sat town in. Sure, it was a little crowded when 1 tock a bath and the salt tends to dry my skin out somewhat. But the little lobster claws made excellent soap holders. It's understandable that you probably don't know how much talent these little guys have. Let me tell you about another fun thing we did together: shadow figures on the wall. It was so entertaining to wm the lights out with just a flashlight shining. They good......very good, but one in particular sticks in my mind. He did a terrific impres- sion of that famous battery bunny we see on TV all the time. The one, that just keeps going and going. I don' t believe it for a second, but they say that all good things come to an end. These little guys and I bonded. But to honest, eventually they times. However, I am sure they are quite happy at the lobster home and I visit them from time to time. Are you like me? I absolutely despise dj ion. Life is too, to harbour ill feelings. Apparently, 1 was fifflally forgiven as rg§ friends . called me a short while ago and not only are they coming'again, but they are bringing lobster! Don't they realize I'll do the same thing? Yes, they do, they are bringing lobster all right....in the can. I guéss it's no more walks around the block for me. After all, how do you put a leash on a tin of lobster, walk it, sprinkle salt on i, imitate the waves and the gulls and i the stares of the passersby? My friends th the idea of bringing two live bunnies, male and female. They said they have a great recipe for rabbit stew. I thanked them vedy much for the thoughtful gesture, but I declined. Soft-hearted as 1 am, I just-don't have enough leashes for 100 little bunnies. a PE Lh an awn The GALLEY FISH & SEAF! 985-0516 161 Queen St. Port Perry SPECIALS: OOOO pole LN | \ Q a ---- SSS SSS SSIS SSS SS SS SSSI TIS
