  1. thanks for doing the tournament Joey, congratulations team 5
  2. in red lake at the fall classic on Labour Day, the fish are checked in the live wells when the anglers are called in the docks. stressed fish and dead fish are assessed penalties in the weight allowed for them and then as soon as they are weighed, the good fish are released by way of a tube into the lake and the sressed fish are put into a solution to try and help them revive. sure some die, but those are cleaned and given to senior citizens and the homeless shelter to make use of them so no waste is happening.
  3. living in a community of 5000 people , we don't have home delivery, we don't have the super boxes, we have to travel to the local post office for our mail, in my case, that's 15 km one way, so I don't feel sorry for those who are losing their home delivery. years ago I asked my MP why can't he get Canada post to implement home delivery in our town, he laughed and said, " what makes you think they would spend thousands of dollars to service you" so urban folks, suck it up, quit the gripping and make the trip to the superbox and be thankful you don't have to go to the post office itself
  4. i bought a revo last year at the start of the season, I love it.
  5. i have one of the other brand of cameras (fish tv, or something like that) and have tried it up here in the stained waters but the only time I could see the bottom was when it bounced off the rocks and they were within a foot or so of the rocks. to me, it wasn't worth the cost.

  7. the first step in duck hunting is to watch several episodes of duck dynasty to see how a duck hunter has to look and dress. After that you have to practice duck calling at the correct time of the day when the ducks get active. (this is usually at first light of day) and don't worry once you tell the neighbours that you will get better with practice, i'm sure they will not mind. Duck hunting is a blast, I used to go to Saskatchewan every year when I was younger and it was a great time to bond with the guys and create great memories. if you get a chance to go, do it.
  8. Power outage We had a power outage last week and my PC, TV and games console shut down immediately, it was raining so I couldn’t golf so I had to talk to my wife for a few hours. She seems like a nice person.
  9. Got a call from my buddy in Florida today, he said it had cooled down to 85 F . gotta feel sorry for a guy having to put up with such cold temps.
  10. I was on my way to town today and I saw this, looks like the wild life knows more about what's coming than we do. are they ready to tough out a long cold spell
  11. got a shock the other day, stepped on the scale and discovered that in the 37 weeks that i haven't smoked, i've gained 28 pounds.

      So the question is,are you better for it?

      My pop quit,and put the weight on big time.

      How many years will it save you all? It,s a tough battle,that has effects no matter.

      seems like quitting smoking means hitting the bottle harder, thats where I put my weight on. Now im in between smoking still and just fat...sucks

  12. I've been watching the coverage on tv, it is amazing that in this day and age with all the security concerns and issues surrounding a vital military installation that someone could do this kind of damage, 12 dead, (including the suspected gunmen) and a number of people wounded. with all the various agencies responding to the call for help makes you wonder how any accomplice could escape ( since the chief of police for the city said they are looking for another 2 suspects) it is just so sad to see something like this happen,
  13. went out for 2 hours this morning, got 3 saugers, 5 walleye and a northern. looks like the fish are getting tired of eating may flies

  14. may flies, got the same thing on our lake and the bite has definitely dropped off due to them .
  15. nice job every inch counts for team 7
  16. that was the first smallmouth I've caught since I was a preteenage kid when I grew up in Brantford and fished the Grand river at the end of our block
  17. today I went out scouting for walleye and to give my boat it's first run of the year. I got a surprise catch at one of my usual walleye spots when I drifted over the reef I got this 17 1/4 inch bass. Now this is a surprise catch since gullrock is not supposed to have smallmouth in it. over the years I've caught several small rock bass but this baby was really a lunker
  18. you aren't alone Dan, i'm heading to vermilion bay next weekend, after the tourists have had the first crack at getting skunked down there. and oh yes, Howey Bay and most of red lake is still solid from shore to shore.
  19. finally got some open water in our bay, its about half open but the wind tomorrow is supposed to change from the west to the east and it will blow the ice right back in on us.

  21. after all that trouble,i'm glad to see it was a great laker. good work
  22. the snow finally melted in the yard and now they are calling for another 5 to 10 cm today , what a bummer

  23. Winnipegs new Cabelas opens on May 9th, it is in the southern end of the city and is almost double the current size store
  24. it was +8 an hour ago, now it's +5 and we got a full blown snowstorm with whiteout conditions on the lake
