  4. Deer commited suicide

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Randy from Sturgeon

    This morning @ 10:45 I was approaching the "Champlain Bridge" here in Sturgeon Falls... the bridge spans about 150' across and is roughly 100' above the Sturgeon River.... traffic started to slow down because of a Whitetail Doe on the bridge....In a panic she took a leap of faith off the bridge into the river.... she didn't make it.

     

    I proceeded to the "docks" to witness her floating carcass drift downstream 'til she was out of sight.

     

    What a strange experience! I had to share.

  5. casting technic(seen on WFN)

    Come to think of it.. I may know why.

     

    I remember being a kid and throwing a fit with arms flailing and all

    .. my Mom would bonk me on the head or or give me a light slap on the cheek to calm me down.. so she could "take the hook out"

     

    If it worked on me .. It might work on a flailing fish... I'll try it next time.

    Once again, It all depends what I have at the end of my leash..

    Say a light spoon or a crank ..one hander. 2 hands for more distance or against the wind.

    If I have a large bait on I'll most all of the time use a 2 handed cast..(strictly overhand)...

     

    I myself find the one hander more accurate..and versatile.

    If you find a Touareg with a V10 TDI... don't be scared to buy it

    but don't expect to have it for long very break-down prone, but ..

    . it's a CRAZY Machine...It'll smoke any new gas pick-up on the road...

     

    That said .. I choose the 4Runner .. very Capable unit... but not quite capable as my Expedition. :whistling:

    Here's another....

     

    MTO Statistic??

    They say that 20% of all accidents are caused by drunken drivers,Therefore, 80% are caused by sober drivers.

    Can sober drivers therefore get the heck off the road so that we (drinkers) can get home safely.

     

    Thank you. This message has been sent in the interests of safe driving.

  13. The Old Man and the Beaver

    in General Discussion

    An 86-year-old very wealthy man went to his doctor for his quarterly

    check-up...

     

     

     

    The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the

    86-year-old said ,'Things are great and I've never felt better.'

    I now have a 20 yr-old bride who is pregnant with my child.

     

    'So what do

    you think about that Doc ?'

     

     

     

    The doctor considered his question for a minute and

    then began to tell a story.

    'I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid hunter

    and never misses a season.'

     

     

    One day he was setting off to go hunting.

     

    In a bit of a hurry, he accidentally picked up his walking cane

    instead of his gun.'

     

    'As he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver

    sitting at the water's edge.

     

     

     

    He realized he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't shoot the magnificent creature. Out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if it were his favorite hunting rifle, and went 'bang, bang'..'

     

    'Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead..

     

    Now, what do you think of that ?' asked the doctor.

     

     

    The 86-year-old said,

    'Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else

    pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver.'

     

     

    The doctor replied, 'My point exactly.'

  16. Best knot to use ???

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    At the rate that I change and tie on lures lately, I use a bow. :tease:

     

    Depends on what I'm using... Jig or Single = *Noose or Fisherman

    Cranks = Rapala Knot or Bolen

    Leader = Uni or Nail

     

    ** (not a) (kinda like a) Noose ... actual name of this knot was on the board a few weeks ago.

  19. Anyone do their own rust-proofing?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks Scugog.Anybody know how much Fluid film I'd need to rustproof a 1/2 ton pick up ?

     

    Frame and undercarriage 1 gallon... if you plan on going in from the inside ( doors , rocker panels, fenders and quarters add another 1/2

    gallon..... don't worry about the overspray it's biodegradable and edible...It actually tastes like peppermint.

     

    Scrape off any scaled rust before applying though.

    as for the undercoating I believe that Fluid Film is about the best.

    I've sold It for years and tried it 15 years or so ago made with sheeps wool oil and believe in it as much as I believe in Seafoam. :clapping:

     

    As for the gun it's a fair price for what you get(run of the mill).. you will also need a good 5/16 cobalt drill bit and some 5/16 body plugs to do a good job.

     

    But once you've done it .. spend the extra $$$ (300$ or so)and buy an electronic rust control device such as a Guardian or Counter Act... I used to sell those too and have owned one for the past 7 years ... My Expedition is still rust free and my Mazda 6 will be for a long time...a good investment if you're not a leaser and keep your vehicles.

    This is old technology in a new box that has stood the test of time... long gone are the days of undercoating for me. :thumbsup_anim:

  23. Rednuck Tacklebox Repair..

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Randy from Sturgeon

    I stepped on the front panel door of my favorite tacklebox..

    Plano 777 ..and snapped the hinges .. since it's pouring rain and I'm watching fishing shows.. I figured that it was Rednuck Repair time.

     

    I used a pencil has a hinge , with the help of my Dremel I carved it out to fit, and some blasting wire with a couple of zip-ties to attach it all together. Works well and saved me 60$ on a new box.
