Hooked

I have a space in my basement I am planning on building my own work bench. Looking for idea's from those that have done this with success. I also plan to utilize the wall above the table for storage.....so any shelving\storage innovations you have come up with would be great too. Thanks

I replace virtually all my trebles on my cranks and spoons with Owner trebles, with some Gammy's mixed in. I find Owner hooks to be extremely strong and sharp. Gammy's are nice too.

I have before, but this time I just threw them back.

Last 2 times I had a nail in my tire I took it to Walmart and cost only cost $20. No slow leaking afterwards either.

yeah, might bring my daughter down. Been working afternoons this week, just hoping i can get down there early enough. But I should be there bro.

Thanks everyone. Thankfully I get a pass every year and I usually catch my minnows there with dip net. But I think it will probably be too packed for that. Was actually there today before work and caught around a dozen, a few over 12"'s. thanks for the link Chris.

I heard there was a perch derby at 50pt this Saturday, November 5th. Does anybody have any info on this? Can't seem to find anything online about it. Thanks

So true....it was frustrating to me, that game should of been finished by Texas. It drives me crazy when pitchers who throw hard don't go to their sliders more often....but Andrus should of went to second to get that out! Oh well, bring on game 7!

Yes....it was a crazy game and I am sad now. Lots of epic moments in that game! Amazing..wow!

I know there are not a lot of baseball fans here, but man, what a crazy game 6 of the World Series! It hurts because I am pushing for Texas and St. Louis keeps coming back! Texas goes ahead, then St. Louis comes back! Just a crazy game!!

Growing up in Hamilton, I have to say what I've seen of Peterborough doesn't compare to the ghetto's in Hamilton, haha. And I know the area you are referring to, there are a lot more of those too in Hamilton, even worse as you mentioned. Personally I'm sick of living in Stoney Creek, or Hamilton. Hopefully something will work out in the future and I can get a place like Lew's place.

My son was more fond of Peterborough than I was, I like Cobourg myself. I drove through the side streets of Peterborough this past summer and really noticed alot of the "ghetto" area's. Really made me realize it's like alot of cities, got the good\new and bad\old parts like mentioned. But it's good to hear all this info from people that have experience of the city. I think if the time comes for a move, I would consider more the outskirts of it or Cobourg. Thanks for the info everyone.

I noticed that posting the other day on workopolis, thanks for the heads up though. Something tells me you don't like the place, hehe. No worries there Bill, I wouldn't even consider moving other-wise. I got a wife and 2 kids to feed.

I have been going to Rice Lake every year for awhile and we always frequent Peterborough during that time. It seems nice and my son really likes it there too. Thinking of a change in the next couple years. How's living out there? I would obviously have to find a suitable job for myself in the I.T. field. But always wondered what it's like to live there or the surrounding areas. Any input would be great.

Congratulations! Ahh more work, but as you know, it's worth it!

Some good tips by you and Frank. I just started getting into drop shotting this year and I always use the stand-out drop shot hooks, now I know how to keep a regular hook perpendicular to the line. That tip by you with the weight was good too, think Frank lost 2 weights in the first 3 minutes of the ep. Thanks. I remember when you and Barry did a show fishing for crappie in a little creek, thinking about doing another at that creek? Anyways, good stuff.

Wow, ordered the part from Rockauto yesterday and it came in today! Thanks everyone for your help.

Check youtube, seen guys on there make there own molds. they break it down for ya too.

The salmon are in there now, so likely that is what you are seeing jumping....apparently jointed shad raps are working and also jointed rapala's (J-11). Pick up some if you don't have any and give them a try. I haven't gone down there myself but my buddy goes down there frequently and says they are catching salmon.

They have a sale this week at Home Depot and Lowe's for that type of insulation. I think it was Home Depot that had a free machine with the purchase of 10 bags. I was thinking of doing it as well.

I remember those lures when I was a kid, use to see them in the Cabela's magazines. Always wanted one! Do you think you can use epoxy to seal the seem? Or cover the head in epoxy?

How long did it take to get the parts typically when you guys ordered?

Thanks for all your input, appreciated. I looked into all the options and looks like I can get the part shipped to my door for 212 from rockauto.com, taxes included....

Just wondering if anybody here knows of where to order quality\and cheap auto parts online? I have visited some US parts sites and they can only ship certain items...or not at all to Canada. I'm looking for the following: Left rear ABS speed sensor 2003 Toyota Highlander V6 3.0L AWD There's a possibility of having to order more parts, since this part will be stage 1 of trouble shooting my problem...hopefully solving it though. My shop wants $330 for the part, but I'm sure there's cheaper out there. Any help? Thanks

I couldn't believe how it all played out, amazing! That Rays comeback was epic, I see them in the WS series too, but Philly will be very tough to beat. I can't believe how Atlanta and BoSox collapsed, unreal. Great night of baseball it was though.
