I thought I had read somewhere that pike don't get markings on their tail...I'd google it if it weren't for this dang dial up.

I was speechless too...at 8:15 I remembered the game was on, turned it on mid way through the second to see the score 4-1...couldn't believe it

that eating crow photo is classic. I actually had just said to my wife "I have to go eat some crow" on OFC because on a previous thread i had predicted Pens in 5. well done Montreal.

just got my boat out of storage. Hope to get out once in May to warm it up, 3 times in June, and hopefully more each month after that but its not looking too good. Same issues...work, wife and 4 young'uns keeping me close to shore

bingo. i think last summer the best weather we had was in April and then the last few weeks in August. here's hoping we don't have a repeat of that.

Man you better hope she doesn't read this! From this perspective cool is not being kept. Hopefully all works out for all 3 of you!

sounds like a good place for a part-time job Lew!

send me 4 musky lures and a spool of powerpro and you're in...or go to the 2010 OFC tournament sign-up area

i just bought a curado 300 yesterday so here's another vote for shimano

I'm not a fan of OHL hockey and could care less about the colts, but I think you're missing the point here. My understanding is that Windsor passed him by in the first round (understandable as he supposed to be a 2nd rounder)but then also traded down after that!!!To me that's being greedy. Trading your 2nd rounder for some other assets, knowing that everyone will leave him alone, and you'll get your own son at a bargain (lower pick than he should have been). If this is what happened, I commend the colts for taking a stand and selecting this kid. The windsor GM was abusing the "gentleman's agreement" by trading down his 2nd pick. Forgive me if I'm wrong (as I said I'm not a fan) but if he did trade down his 2nd pick somebody had to make a point and draft the kid, just happened to be Barrie.

humber river actually. the boat in the background is actually stuck between a shopping cart and an old tire. Yup, good 'ol humber browns we used to call them. That's just a little one

I would say that was worth the wait! Nice fish

I'll vote for gone in 5. Heard an interview where they were talking about confidence as the series went on, players this, players that, blah blah blah...are you serious? Only reason they are there is there goalie was great, the other goalie not as good. Washington is the better team, just got bit by a hot goaltender, it can happen (doubt it will happen to Pittsburg though)

nuts. I picked up some of the 17lb stuff to use as backing on my musky reels. If its actually 8 I better make pretty darn sure I never get into the backing! The only time I ever do is when you're trolling with the current on the niagara, and hit a snag. You can get into the backing in a hurry when that happens!

indeed I did. That all works out then, I was thinking around $35-40. Somehow i missed the word "used" in linweir's reply. Thanks all for the info

Definitely wasn't $30-40 (is there such a thing as a $30 baitcaster musky rod?) maybe linweir got his used or its probably not the same rod. I bought 2 rods at the same time, one was a lower cost rod which was a Daiwa Heartland S which was 50 something dollars, and the other was the Canadian Specialist which I'm pretty sure was more like $70.00.

oops, my bad. Sure looks like a typo to the non-hunter though Thanks Brian. I even have a septic tank now (that's a little bit better than the neighbour who just relieves himself outdoors)

Just wondering if anyone has an idea on the value of this rod? I bought it a few years back at LeB's but don't see it on their website anymore. I had told a friend who's just starting into musky fishing he could have it for half price but I can't figure out what this thing is worth. Anyone recall what they paid for theirs? If I had to guess I'd say its a $70.00-$80.00 rod??

...and the bears are following them

good luck and I hope you have a reeeeaaallllyyy big pike fish fry later that day

Great report! Sounds like a very civil day on the water, nice to hear.

you guys are a wealth of knowledge, gotta love OFC

How did you end up doing? Get a partner?

If you went in looking for a tiller and walked out with that you are a salesman's dream come true. Very nice boat! pm me if you are interested in some Florida real estate

I didn't see a single second of the series, so from that perspective its hard to see how anything could be considered a choke. Shouldn't the defending champs put these guys away in 4 games? Anything longer than 4 I say the Sens didn't disappoint and the outcome is exactly what any sane person would have predicted (Pittsburg moving on)
