I always give the boat a good vacuum and clean out before putting it away. I've never added anything to the boat to keep the critters out until I saw that thread you were talking about Chris. Never had a problem with critters other then a couple of the neighbourhood cats that probably kept the mice away. I now put the Bounce sheets throughout the boat and don't even get the cats anymore.

Great videos Terry, watched them both earlier today. Thanks for sharing your stories Wayne and Lew, great pics! I'll be stopping tomorrow to remember all those who sacrificed so much for us. Thank you.

Good Luck Brian!!

At least 500 of those cohos are currently nose in to a bank covered in red sores and unable to swim.

 

Something bad is going on with the Cohos this year...

VHS disease perhaps??

That sure is some good news Wayne! Thanks for the update!

Good on ya Brian, heck of a trip to make in that weather. Bernie is one of nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Terrible news Brian, deepest condolences to all of the family and friends.

Great news Mike!! Thanks for post the link Ron.

A great lunch time break watching this. Another nice video Simon! In you next production can I play the part of the fisherman? lol. Thanks for the report!

Good job on the restocking.

A group of us were up on Nippissing years ago in an ice bungalow. We were catching a bit of everything including herring. A few of the guys had never tried it so we kept a few that I cleaned up and cooked for the group. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them and wished we had kept a few more. Just fried up in some fish crisp and it was a big hit. I certainly wish they'd open the season on Simcoe back up for them. It's long over do with the numbers that people are reporting.

And probably why I'm still single.

Nice report Simon...but the video could use some help. I'd be more than happy to come up there and help you with the production and post production of your videos. Did I mention that I work for walleye?? LOL!! Great video! Really enjoyed that. Dave sure was a great guest. lol!

That was a bad ass report!! Fantastic shots and some nice fish as well, very well done!! Maybe I should dust of the fly gear one of these days. Thanks for the report!!

Very nice day out one of these days I will make the trip Down there

Yes you do Mike, just say when.

Lloyd certainly knows that water and it made for a great couple of days for you. Very generous offer by him. Nice report!

Great shots Lew! Thanks for the post, very cool!!

Great looking fish Rich!! Congrats!

Great report Mike! Good on ya for all you and your family do for the Fish-A-Thon too. :clapping:

Fingers and toes are crossed that the 3rd time will be a charm with the weather and the fish. Cliff and I can hardly wait.

First - Glad to see you decided on a 4x4. Can't say for sure how many times it has saved my butt but can tell you of all the times I wish I had it when I was driving a 2wd truck. When I went from a 4.3L S10 to a 5L 1500 the gas was only an extra $10 per week, a small insurance price for some piece of mind. I used to put patio slabs in the back of the S10 and bags of sand, ran winter tires and it all helped but not even close to what having a 4x4 will do for you.

Get the 4x4 and you won't have anything to worry about.

After owning a few two wheel drive trucks years ago, and then driving more than my share of 4x4's I would NEVER go back to a 2WD.
Even in everyday winter driving it's handy. No spinning from a stop or struggling up inclines.
If you do a lot of boat launching I'd highly recommend a 4x4.

Maybe if you're talking about the big 2500 series trucks with the diesels, but a 1500 4x4 doesn't require any more maintenance then a 2wd model...

I'd agree with that, never had much more to do then gas, oil tires and brakes about every 45-50K. Last set of brakes lasted 60K on the F150.

Mann's, Tail Dancers, Reef Runners, Power Dives, Bombers, just too many to keep on listing. (Thanks for the addiction Joe)

Are we being species specific? If so, which one are we talking about???

Nice pics and report Joey!! Great to get away for some R&R, catch up with some friends and get a PB to top things off, a great week away I'd say.

Thanks for the reply. You'll make a lot of friends on the hardwater if you bring that out there. lol.

Thoughts go out to the family after this senseless act.

 

made a turkey on with my new toy and it was very good. I tested it out with a chicken on the Saturday and it was the moistest chicken I've ever eaten! Sunday I put the 16lb turkey in and after 2 1/2 hours it was done! I cooked it till the breast read 165*. The skin was golden brown and crispy. I've had my fair share of Deep Fried Turkeys, I would rate this a more of a rotisserie turkey but with a crispy skin. No oily film on your lips. Next time I would probably cook the bird till 160* and let it tent for about 30 minutes. The dark meat was a little over cooked but still very moist. Overall a great investment and a great recommendation from Hoppy.

 

 

NIck

Great to hear Nick. Can you do a stuffed bird in one of those?

I have one at the cottage that I have only tried once Will.

We can give it a try next trip.

Finally getting caught up here, looking forward to it Bernie. Good to see the positive revues.
