awesome! A week or musky fishing...sounds great. I am limited to a day here a day there...if that day falls on a bad conditions day it is tough!

purple....You think I would use a pink sled? Sheesh the nerve. Still my avatar since I don't know how to change it (although I suppose I could figure it out if I really wanted to)?

rotten buggers. Probably won't ever pay the fine either. I hope at least their gear is confiscated right at the site.

Last year was looking for an outboard, had been communicating with a guy through kijiji. I had a price in mind I was willing to pay ($800...it was listed for $900) and hoping to negotiate to that amount in person. We made plans to meet on a Wednesday. On Tuesday a buddy of mine found out about it. To help me out he also contacted the seller and low balled him. They negotiated a price of $700 if he came that night to pick it up! So off I went, $700 in hand, pretending to be my buddy. I got the motor for $100 less than I had hoped, and my buddy earned himself a case of beer. When I got home I had an email from seller that I didn't need to come up as motor had been sold. Funny part...I now live in Guelph but drove back to where I used to live in Barrie to get it (maybe a couple km away). Did I mention my buddy used to be a used car salesman?

Lew that is a phenomenal story about Joey and Paul

do I look like I give a .....what's his name. Good times (for some of us). I joined around 2003 I think when I got my first computer. Right away joined three or four sites...this is the one that stuck over the years. Was in that picture from the 2004 G2G at Lakair that mepps posted, and made it to one or two after that but not in a long time. Nice to see those pictures but also a bit sentimental when you think of those you've met who are no longer with us

hahah Ron...I thought the same thing. Then I looked just beside that and saw the true Roy

that was awesome...hilarious too. Wish I had more hair.

Have seen fish choke on other fish...but never seen that. I have caught muskies though that bit onto a fish on my line and refused to let go. Into the net you go! Not even a hook in their mouth...makes for easy release.

Terrible news. Certainly hits close to home, especially for those here that know Kevin personally or through video etc

nice fish! Good call on waiting out the weather

Poor lady that is being sidelined? I do not know what that means. I DO know that the lady who convinced me to buy...when i was adamantly refusing to even listen...was an employee of DODGE. They did not bring in an insurance rep. A Dodge employee sold it to me. A Dodge employee profited when i bought it. And that same Dodge employee, who now manages the dealership, would not even refund to me the portion they themselves kept. They KNEW i was being screwed. At a minimum they should have apologized and offered me back the portion that they themselves profited. I would have walked away thinking "what an upstanding operation". Sadly they did not offer me anything...which is incredibly short sighted on their part. They had a chance to keep a customer happy. Not only did they lose me, i tell others of my terrible experience. They could have broken even...give me back the portion they kept. Instead they have chosen to take a loss...my future business with them and all the people I talk to. It still boggles my mind that they did not at least try to make things right

wow that sounds horrible...even in point form

Wow that is something. Some great pics too...except the sheephead...thats just gross

That great. Maybe I need to vacation in Bobcaygeon if I ever need work on the engine

When I lived in Barrie I would fish that lake once or twice a year. There were many times the big motor never got fired up! Just used the trolling motor. The days I did use the gas motor I had a very specific trolling route on my gps that always kept me safe. Luckily the fish on that route were pretty accomodating so I didn't have to stray off it.

very nice congrats on the new to you ride! No more kicking your way out like a chump! Trolling motor is great addition!

wow I didn't know salmon came up this early

Some great pictures. You were only a few kms from my house but I have never actually fished the grand

she's big alright...ugly too

Make them show you the clause that says you have to provide service records. I went LINE BY LINE through all the documentation with one of their managers...eventually they caved. Took craploads of emails and phonecalls before I got a manager. Have your warranty book in hand as well. Mine said nothing about service records. They have some bogus line about "what is not covered" section... it also says nothing about service records. Good luck. There IS a clause that gets them off the hook if you have gone over 100k so definitely don't send in records if you are over 100k! If you are under 100 k and have all the records just send em in. My problem was we didn't keep the records, and when I sent some in they always insisted on more

we were at pigeon a few summers ago and saw 82...never saw 84.5...that's a bath

Nice pics thanks for taking the time to post

Too funny. Went salmon fishing with a buddy and when I caught a laker instead that's what he called it...a dirty old laker. You have some awesome pictures there and memories for a lifetime, too bad the weather didn't cooperate but still looks like a fantastic time

awesome day Rob...love the passed out kids an the ride home
