Hooked

Well the timing sucks big time, buy my wife got in a car accident last week and now just found out my Ford Focus wagon is apparently a right off. Thankfully she is ok, but some lady took a turn too fast and wide on a side street and she tail-spinned into my car. Here is where I need some help. I have till December 29th to find a new vehicle, grrr. I'm looking for another wagon and been searching for a Mazda 6 Wagon. At least with that I should be able to tow a small boat. But willing to settle for another Ford Focus Wagon ZTW. So if anyone here has any leads, please let me know. I live in Stoney Creek and the price range is probably up to $7500. Tall order for sure considering I've looked on Kijiji and Autotrader. Any help would be great! Thanks Ted

I think the fight will go just like the Jon Fitch fight. However Kos doesn't have a chin like Fitch, Kos will get knocked out! My guess 2nd round. Will be good! Looking forward to the Howard vs Alves fight too.

Same thing I heard. There is a good site that sells all kinds of cables and adapters.....dirt cheap: Cheap cables

Ohhh man, I had no idea that went on or else I woulda been there for sure! I was there last weekend and there were still boats in there. Nice haul for sure, but I can really kick myself for not being there! Time to get off work early some time this week and head straight there! FF, did you notice alot of emeralds around? Was thinking of bringing my dip net.

Just heard Bosh opened his big mouth again stating he left the Raps cuz he's not on TV enough. Infact, he stated he has seen more camera's on him in a month then an entire season in T.O. Now that's a good reason to leave, loser.

Garnett has always owned Bosh, for some reason I feel good about it now. And I don't think the Heat will even make the finals this year. The Heat will play better as the season goes on but I think the players run this team and that leads to discombobulation on the court. Good ol selfishness and tunnel vision takes over. Plus I think they'll have to deal with injuries this year, just a feeling I have.

Damn, I didn't know about that place! Thx Frankie. Looks like you're set Jimmer!

When you are heading up there, check the CT in Kingston. I know their fishing selection was like no other CT I have seen in my life. Actually was quite impressed and better than alot of tackle stores I have gone to. But I don't recall if they sold Reef Runners. Might be worth a check? Baker's in Nappannee may have some, but I doubt it, he usually sell's his own home-made cranks.

Mind you, I wasn't that crazy! haha.

Being able to trace a # online has come in pretty handy for me. One of my sons ex-friends gave our # to bunch of punk kids on Xbox Live and convinced them to crank call my home. I just *69, punched the # in google, and I managed to find who the # belongs to, the city and street they live..... Was pretty funny, I called one of the punks back and gave the kid an earful, never called back again, especially since I mentioned his last name, city and street he lived on....haha, was pretty funny. As long as you don't come across any crazy stalkers in your time, not that there's such thing as a normal stalker, but you should be fine.

If on a budget, would check out the Shimano Volteus (sp?) or the Clarus. I think the Volteus goes for maybe $50 and the Clarus goes for $65. Personally I would pick the Shimano Clarus. If you want to go all out, get the Shimano Crucial or Cumara, only 1 pieces though I think. Mind you, almost any St. Croix is good too. Good luck on shopping.

I picked up a Shimano Sienna, 1000 series, for $45, no complaints at all. Also got a Quantum Incite for $50, no complaints either. Used them this summer and was impressed by both considering the price for them. Check em out.

Thanks guys, was going to hit the place tomorrow morning before I go on vacation, but they are closed, and close at 5 today when I'm just off work. Figures I find out of a good place and I can't make it!

I was looking for a cheap battery that I can use for my transom mount trolling motor. What are your thoughts on this one? Would it suffice? I have an older 3 HP Minn Kota. Reason I want a cheap one is because it will only be used sparingly for the trolling motor. 12-Volt Battery

I have a battery question. I will be mounting a transom mount trolling motor onto a 14' aluminum boat and will be connecting to a 12V battery. Are there any problems that I may encounter if I don't have a battery case for it? Is it required or can I leave it exposed? Just wondering. Any help appreciated.

Great, thanks for your help everyone.

Problem I have is, and always had with it, is the suction cup for my portable transducer keeps coming off. I recall sometime ago someone posted there specially rigged portable transducer, using a clamp and stick....anyone here have such a setup for their portable transducer?

Nice going Dirk. I'll be up there in just over a week from now and hope I can replicate what you have been doing. BTW, what exactly is a SLAMMER? Is it like a senko?

Ok.... that was a freakin AWESOME report! I really enjoyed that read, pics were a bonus! After seeing those pics I can't imagine what else lurks in that lake....wow! Imagine another week there? That would be choice. Nice going guys, was a good test for things to come for sure. Hopefully you guys hit that place again next year, looking forward to report already! Congrats on a fun time to both of you.

I didn't realize how big they got until I seen one at BOQ a couple years back. I wish I got a pic of it, it was HUGE. No joke, it was at least 3x larger than the one in this thread. I did hear they are quite tasty.

I was thinking fishing there as well. I notice the lake everytime I drive to Welland. What kind of fish are in there?

Good answer at the end, haha. I work in the I.T. Department for the Hamilton Hospitals, and have been for 12 years. Can be a pretty cool gig. I have been in the room during brain surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement and countless other operations. The craziest had to of been in Forensics, where a brain freshly taken out of a skull was placed 12" from the mouse I was using, doh! Those Forensics guys are a special breed, let me tell you, haha.

Perfect Ron, thanks. I'll be at Tower Manor, so that's only a 10 minute drive. And Jim, if BJ's doesn't turn out, I'll definitely check out that place you mentioned. Thanks everyone else for you input.

Ok Chris, I'll let you know, thanks man. Got that right Roy. I'll be up there for 2 weeks and we'll probably go through 2 flats of worms, haha. Mind you, there'll be 3 of us fishing. I'll be bringing a flat up with me, but got no room for a second, which is why I wanted to purchase a flat up there. Thanks
