I have worked for several large mortgage lenders. What is your question?

Just thought I would update everyone on my purchase...... The first Ice Cube that I purchased was CRAP. It setup and down very easily, just as promised, but the stitching was ridiculous and the zipper for the door would not close properly. Canadian tire exchanged the hut without any problems, and the new hut is PERFECT! This thing is awesome, it sets up easily and packs away small. All the stitching is great, and the zipper is perfect. I cannot believe the quality difference between the first and second. I think that this hut will last me a long, long time.

For anyone else that is interested in this hut, I found some pretty decent reviews on another website. http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/archive/index.php/t-2014.html It might help if you are thinking about purchasing one.... I am going to set mine up and take it down (10 times) today in the backyard, and I will let you know how it goes! Cheers

Thanks for the input. Instead of me waiting to see, how about telling me what the problem with them is in the wind? I would prefer to know that before it is too late to return it. This hut got pretty favourable reviews in general, and I am looking for a hut that will last me several seasons at least. There is a warning in the instructions about cinching the interior tension straps too tight, as this may damage the poles, and if this is done, Eastman is willing to replace the broken pieces. This hut also has several external tension straps, which are supposed to hold the hut firmly on the ice in very windy conditions. Is the problem with setup in the wind, or after it has been setup, and fishing in the wind? Thank you everyone for your responses, it is greatly appreciated. It is good to get some background information before deciding on a specific product that I will use many, many times!

It is in a flyer that I received, maybe this is only applicable to the Toronto area. The creeper is on sale today and tomorrow, and the ice hut is on sale all week. I purchased both of these at the Leslie/Lakeshore store. I know that they will ship to a local store, so it might be worth looking into. Here is the link to the flyer online http://canadiantire.shoplocal.com/canadian...amp;StartRow=28

Hey everyone, Just to let you know, Canadian Tire has two and four man Eastman portable ice huts on sale this week. I just picked up a four man for $255, regularly $320. I was looking around online, and these huts got pretty good reviews compared to others in their price-range, and they are way cheaper than the Clams or Traps. Now I just have to wait for some ice on Simcoe, or Jan 01 for Scugog! Also may be of interest to some, I just picked up a creeper for working under the car, regularly $50, and I got it for $10! I think this is only on sale Sat and Sun though. Cheers, Alex

Great post for today. We have so much to learn from our past generations that created the Canada that we have today. Many people don't realize that the world would be a much different place if these veterans and those who never returned home hadn't fought for what they believed. Peace

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone is heading out to fish around Toronto today, I have some time off and I will probably head out if the rain stays away. Let me know if/where you are going. I am always up for trying new spots.

Hey everyone, these are just some pics from the last couple of weeks. I actually caught that carp on a spoon! I love fishing Lake Ontario! Enjoy!

Hey everyone, here are some pics from fishing the last two weeks in Toronto. I hope that you enjoy the pics!

This is the funniest forum I have seen on here yet

Actually, shortfin Mako sharks are listed as a vulnerable species. If this fish was a female, it was not at the end of its lifespan, rather it had recently entered into its prime reproductive stage. (Maximum weight- 1600lbs, twice the weight of the one that was caught) http://www.newenglandsharks.com/shortfin.htm This is kind of like clubbing that 50lb muskie you catch, so that you can eat it and show your friends. Just my 2 cents, I hope they ate it.

Congrats on the baby!!!

Hey Fishmaster, Thanks for the directions! I appreciate that. A wrench just got thrown in my plans, so I cannot go out there today.....maybe next weekend. If you ever need any info on Toronto, or East of Toronto please ask, that is my neck of the woods. Woods? yeah right...not anymore.... Kayak Fisher

I am going out there from Toronto, so basically the closest launch point that I can access. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am thinking of heading to the Grand River today, as I have never been there before. Can someone please provide me with directions, to where I can park and launch my kayak. Also, what kind of fish are in there right now? I am not looking for anybody's personal fishing spots, just some general info so that I can get on the water a little bit faster! Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated! Kayak Fisher

Hey Gerritt, What an extremely sobering thought. I too am new to this board, but I would like to extend my regards to you and your family today. I don't have any children, and I can only imagine how you feel. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

I have to work on Monday!!! It sucks working for an American company sometimes. Everybody else please enjoy your turkey and fishing...... I will be daydreaming all day. Cheers

Hey Headhunter, I am VERY sorry to hear about your father. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I recently came into possession of an old Shakespeare three piece fly rod. It has aluminum male/female connections, that are easy enough to put together but extremely difficult to seperate. I am worried that if I pull too hard on the section I will ruin the rod. Could someone please let me know what I could use to lubricate these sections? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Nice fish man! Could you please email me your lure selection and GPS coordinates? lol

Actually the hooks that I used to catch the pollock and mackeral were unbaited. In the local shops (and Sprawlmart) around the coast they sell mackeral rigs that are a series of hooks, and they either have plastic or feathers on the hooks. I had the most luck on the feathered hooks, and also on just about any spoon you want to cast..... I would love to be able to move out east from TO, and be able to fish on the ocean every week. That combined with the amount of fresh water fishing that is available in NB would make it a fisherman's paradise. I absolutely intend to do another trip next year. Happy fishing!

Thanks for the positive responses! I was amazed to see that first response (??) I caught some mackarel along with these pollock, but unfortunately I did not have my camera for those. They were pretty small though. If anyone is heading out east, make sure to pick-up a few mackeral rigs. I was actually catching three fish at a time. At some points I thought that I had hooked onto a monster, but three pollack put up a pretty good fight...lol. Here are some pics from last years trip....Lobster and Perriwinkles (escargot) Enjoy!

What a profound statement. To each their own.
