Some useful info in this thread but I am a bit surprised that given some of the posts are blatantly admiting to illegal activity that this thread hasn't been locked. Especially given so many fishing posts get locked....

Just thoght I would stir up some cr@p... nothin else to pick fights about given musky season hasn't started and the leafs are on there way out. haha

I would be fine with some desparate and nasty hockey for the next 6 games. If the last game against Ottawa has some meaning for the leafs I could golf happy this year.

Wow what a train wreck. I still have some hope though. Until they are mathematically eliminated I will watch. Actually I am likely to watch even after they get eliminated. If they can turn this thing around and get a couple wins and get some help they have a chance going into the last few games.

The express 870's are not the same gun as the old 870's and certainly not the wing masters. They are a redesign. As for the comment about the the black shadow. The only thing I can see that is different is the stock and the stamp on the side. All the internals look very similar if not identical. Anyhow. The story on the 1300 was that some deal was made with the new factory to stop production on the 1300 for 3 years as a cool down period than bring it back under a new name. The SXP. I don't really know why, likely some marketing dufos. Anyhow, take a look at the reviews and put one on your shoulder. If it feels good and it comes the way you want it. For the price it's a far better gun that a mossberg 535 or a bare bones 870 express imo. And I have shot and owned both. Like I said, go shoulder one. Cycle it. Feel the trigger. Shake it. See how the fir and finish is. Dollar for dollar and sub 400 you will have a tough time beating it.

Check out my thread on the one I just picked up. You can get a 3" version for under 400 including tax. the WInchester SXP Black shadow is a redesign of the Winchester 1300 speedpump.

Well I just thought I would pass on the deal. I have been looking to buy a Winchester 1300 Speedpump after selling mine a few years ago. I tried so many other shotguns and never found one as slick as that one. Anyhow I decided to pickup the new version the Winchester SXP Black Shadow in 3.5" 12 gauge. Well I started doing the rounds on the internet looking for the best price... 499 @cabelas plus shipping, 419 @ Epps plus 40 in as round trip, 389 at Gagnon, surprise no stock after 30 minutes on the phone... Bass Pro no interest in checking prices after they lost my PAL the last time I went to go look at a gun, Gagnon's didn't have a new one in stock but did have a used one for 369....

Well I had settled on Epps as 420 seemed like a good deal, then I remembered to check with Sail. Well Sail has them for 369. Yah the same price as a used one from around the corner at Gagnon. Anyhow. I was happy to find that deal, called them up to confirm stock and they pulled one off the shelf for me(something Epps won't do unless you pre buy it over the phone). Anyhow, I was very happy to see that the gun has the same shouldered feel and with the inertia driven action I hope it shoots and pumps as smooth as my old speedpump. Yes I know its not the fanciest of pump guns out there, but I can tell you this compared dollar for dollar against the others its a fair more solid gun.

Anyhow just wanted to let you folks know to make sure you check Sail

I used to tow my 17 foot bowrider with my minivan. No Trans issues but I did get stuck at a ramp once. Sold the minivan and bought a 4x4. Getting stuck once is too many times.

Well, I have had some.. err.. "experience" with a couple of sunshine girls. Not all of them are so creepy and weird looking. Part of it is the photography as well. Some of th emodels have had some bad experience with photographers in the past. Its not as happy go lucky as it may seem.

I heard it an no offense but these two goofs are terrible. Pompus, arrogant, annoiying, know it all's. I agree though that Dion should have addressed the media, however the way these two losers went off on the radio was totally uncalled for.

How are people supposed to get an idea of how you deal with people by talking to them in person? Duh what's wrong with you.

Leafs have Philly, Det, Calgary, Boston, Winnipeg, Tampa, Florida and Ottawa left to play.

I see 6 games they should have not really issues winning. They need these next few games pretty bad. If they drop the next two its fat lady time. Tough to go into a back 2 back needing to win both games, but its where its at. This one is going to come down to the wire.

Yah, for me last year was real tough for trout opener. Couldn't find them. I would think with another late ice out, this year is shaping up to be even later, it will be difficult. I think some species are on a clock and others go by water temperature. The ones that go by water temp will spawn late. On the plus side we may go ice fishing for the trout opener this year in algonquin.

I saw a robin on the weekend

Bernier is a better goalie than Reimer. Why would Reimer start over bernier. Its the goalie coach to keep the backup sharp. I would have rather scrivens stayed as a backup. At least he would have accepted the role.

Gotta protect the post on those ones.

Reimer is looking behind him too often.

For F@#$ Sakes Riemer

I plan on creating a video blog of my human powered escapades on the water this year. My goal is to catch all of the following from said vehicle...

Laker, Speckle, Splake, LM Bass, SM bass, Pike, Musky, Crappie, Walleye, Carp.

I would add rainbow but I don't really have a good spot to go for bows and being in a new fishing rig that I am not too familiar with I don't really want to explore too many unfamiliar waters.

I could see 50 feet in the air at a good clip hitting a pressure crack then rolling for a couple hundred. I didn't watch the video, not unlike the media to mistype a story. You can fix stupid though. Unfortunately in this instance it wasn't stupid that got fixed.

200 feet is a pretty good jump under ideal circumstances with a rally car and a launch ramp. To replicate that in a loaded up pickup truck and pressure crack is astounding.

Better effort tonite so far.

I took a 250mm into the acc once without issue. But I knew it was a gamble. It was a 55*250 and when they asked I said it was 55mm

Its a nice trip, as for the fishing, I didn't catch anything worth noting while we were there but I think it could have gone one way or the other. There are easier to get to places for better fishing that's for sure but as I said its a great trip. I try and limit my single legs to under 5km's of relatively flat ground so this is on the upper edge of uncomfortable.

Oh yah, watch out for the muck on the nippissing

From what I read it was actually airborn for 200-300 feet before landing as per the quote below.

http://barrie.ctvnews.ca/investigators-learn-more-about-fatal-crash-on-lake-simcoe-1.1733536

“The vehicle was airborne for 200 to 300 feet and when it landed it rolled a couple of times,” says Brock Fire Chief Rick Harrison.
