  1. Sweet rides. I had one of these follow me for about 5 seconds before it passed and was gone coming back from fishing a couple of weeks ago. No time for my own photo so I uploaded this one. I want one of these for only $450K USD. Inspired by the legendary 300 SLR Coupé of the 1950s, the new Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is the perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation. MSRP $450,000.00 USD Engine 5.5 L hand-built supercharged AMG V-8 engine Peak output 617 hp @ 6,500 rpm Peak torque 575 lb-ft @ 3,250-5,000 rpm Should tow the boat no problem with all those ponies under the hood. Come on 649! lol
  2. Good to here all are safe and sound. I'm sure we can all relate to the leaving things to the last minute. lol You did check the kill switch didn't ya? I did that one a few years ago. lol! I took the cowling off, pulled the plugs, no spark but motor would turn over great. Put everything back together, turned around and the kill cord was on the floor of the boat. Put it back in place and she started first try.
  3. Great report Dan. Hats off for puttin up with the cold and getting some fish, I'd do the same. lol
  4. A couple of great looking fish there guys. Way to go!
  5. Misfish - Good to see you again as well. lol Terry - you might be right about Yesterday Lake. lol Unfortunately I wasn't apart of the decision making. It was an after the booking invite that was too good to turn down. Maybe you'd like to come along and be the cameraman for the trip? I loved your perch videos! Joey and motv8tr - It was a tough decision but after talking it over with HH he made it seem like the Kesagami trip was the best choice. I hated to leave him (not really ) without someone to go with to Lakair but with his move coming up it gives him sometime to deal with last minute stuff. HH - We'll catch up next week and see how things are looking for ya. In the meantime I've some fishing to do. Have a great long weekend everyone.
  6. Well after a very busy couple of months things are starting to slow done a bit. I have manged to get out a couple of times on the water with some succuess. Some nice crappies on my birthday a couple of weeks ago (No Phil, it wasn't your spot lol!) and a good bag of eyes last weekend. I think I've got a pic that I'll add later of the crappies but nothing of the eyes. All is well and looking forward to the up coming seasons ahead. Unfortunately I've had to cancel my Lakair reservation do to a conflict. It's actually a good conflict as HH told me it was a no brainer and to go. Well on the Lakair weekend I'll be leaving for Cochrane and will be flying with Air Cochrane to one of the Kesagami outpost camps. We will be flying into Floodwood Lake in search of walleye and hopefully a trophy northern, a PB would be fine as well. On the link to Floodwood Lake there is a comment made by a John C., Well John is a buddy of mine and tells me I should be in for a trip of a lifetime. Report to follow. Hopefully everyone here has been well, nice to here all is well with the kidney stones Corey, and looking forward to spending some time on the water with a few of you. Take care this holiday weekend, be safe! Fishnsled
  7. I'm sure he'll strike a chord with his fellow boaters.
  8. Well there goes my coffee. LOL! Now that's something to laugh about. COOL video too.
  9. Well I guess I can uncross my fingers and toes now. That's great because it was really starting to hurt. LOL!!! GREAT NEWS HH!! JUST FANTASTIC!!!!!!! CONGRATS to you and your family!!! It has a pool but will a boat fit in the garage?? Does it even have a garage??? Tony and I are looking for a place to store our boats.
  10. LOL!!! Happy birthday Monique!
  11. Are ya thinking of a mini G2G Terry? How many will fit in that boat of yours? Off the Park looks good too.
  12. You're reading my mind Misfish. But then you look at the long range forecast and wonder.......should I wait???? Weather forecast.
  13. Here's today's satellite image. A picture is worth a thousand words.
  14. Well there goes my coffee all over the keyboard. LOL!! Always like to go as long as I can CCMT, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Always better then staying at home. HH - Throw in some taters, a veggie (should have done up your asparagus) and it was a great meal. Otherwise I could have eaten the whole plate of perch myself! Thanks for the the replys everyone!
  15. I know your pain Tony. Everytime the girlfriend brings up a house to go and look at I look at the pic of the house. If it doesn't have a double door instead of 2 singles I don't even want to look at it. Try talking to these new home builders and ask about making the garage bigger - no deal. . And to top that off, in most of these newer developments they won't allow you to park your boat in the driveway! They won't be getting my money until they offer a garage that will hold my boat and sled. Needless to say that the house hunting has been put on the back burner.
  16. My vote for report of the month. Just AWESOME!!!! (As always) Thanks for posting.
  17. Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing.
  18. Well yesterday's fishing adventure was probably one of the best days I've ever had. I couldn't keep them off my hook. I figure that I personally caught somewhere around 250+ perch myself, that being a conservative guess. It started off a bit slow then all hell broke loose. I'd drop my bait down and pull up a perch, sometimes I had to count to 5 before I got one. This went on for about 2.5 -3 hours. Then it was a dozen or so quick ones then move to another hole. My Dad and his buddy had moved on and missed the main bite where they had gone to. An argument for run and gun or stay and wait them out I guess. Always a gamble and both will win from time to time. I figured I was catching fish so I was staying. They went on the hunt for bigger fish and lost. My Dad's buddy continued on fishing his way home and Dad circled back to meet up with me just as the bite was slowing down. Up to that point I didn't have to much to show the old man because I didn't have much in the way of any size to keep. I found that by the end of the day we would just walk the 20+ holes we had and get fish. Fish a hole and pull up 6-12 fish, they'd shut down. Move 10 feet and catch another 6-12. Just kept working in a circle. Depth fished ranged from 25ft to 8ft. Although no jumbos were caught the action was unbelievable. Biggest fish was about 9.5". Several dozen in the 8-9" range but most in the 5-7" range. I figured if I was going to have a feed I need to start keeping more of these 9" to make up a meal. I did end keeping about 20 for a fry last night. Man those little buggers are SO tasty. The ice conditions were noticeably different from the week before. Ice was very soft, like drilling threw butter in spots. The shoreline is starting to open up as well. With the warm temps and rain this week, I wouldn't trust it any more with a sled or ATV. Most certainly wouldn't stray to far from shore. The ice was hard in some areas and 10 feet away was very soft. Where there was close to 3ft of good ice last weekend there was 18"-2ft of very soft stuff then they remainder was good ice. The main lake had lots of soft black ice that with the sun beating down on it will most likely go very quickly I'll wait to see how the ice holds up but I'm pretty sure my ice season is over. Time to get the boat ready. Here's a few pics from the day. Ice looking near the end. Shoreline ice disappearing Last time on the ice for Dad? Maybe not. Since he lives up there it may be very easy to get out in the next day or 2. The end result, minus a few. Some people just can't wait, not that I can blame them
  19. Mine are always on the boat. A very valuable tool to have.
