I won't tell you what it did to me, Ben.

I got one at Future Shop recently.

Now you're talkin', Chris. That is made for fishing.

Welcome aboard, Mike.

At that time I was on Chester between Broadview and Carlaw on the North side. Dem were good days too. There's gotta still be some good sized pike in the Bay though.

Yup, 130lb is the stuff you want and if you get bitten off with that, get your boat outta the water FAST!

Great trip to you Craig and please stay safe.

Our best shots were with large, dead or live minnows dead sticking. And I do mean large.

I picked up my minnows at Morningside though....Kingston road. I wonder if they're still there? Used to be a trailer....open 24 hours.

Norm said: "My buddy and I would catch the Oshawa bus at Coxwell and Danforth Avenues and get off across from Crookes Garage (Deal With Honest Crookes) on Hwy 2 (west of Liverpool road)" I did the same thing in those years Bud but I left from Broadview and the Danforth. Down on the West side of Liverpool and sit there with 3-4" bobbers and suckers 4-5 feet down. There was lotsa pike there in those days. Skinners was on Parliament eh? There was always a good smell in there :-)

Good one Bubba

Very nice gesture and thank you Blake.

Winds from the East, brings out the beast.

Do what you like Bud, was just trying to help.

What do you want to be called, I'll change it for you.

I'll play the devil's advocate for you here. This is NOT a criticism. It's something you MAY or may not have considered and could become your worse nightmare. First of all, we'll have to assume that every (most) major players will license you to use a third party accessory on their product without voiding the waranty. If that is taken care of, great. Now, we have a customer who buys a unit (any manufacturer) let's take Humminbird as an example. The customer loses the bottom at 20 clicks. The customer contacts Humminbird. Which questions will Humminbird ask the customer (for example)? They'll want to know which transducer the customer is using. Then the fun begins....is it the unit itself or the transducer that's faulty? Is the transducer properly installed? With newbies it often is not properly installed. Does the customer really want to deal with TWO different suppliers for one item on their boat? I don't know. How have you got that covered so far?

I had heard that that fish was caught on Lake of the Woods.

Don't feel bad, I'm a pig. Happy New Year, Stan, and to everyone else.

I don't see much about it on the sponsors websites either.

Yeah, that's all I have on it too. A little more than a week away and there's nothing more than that? I'd be concerned if I was an advertiser or sponsor. I have a bad feeling about this show. I hope it goes well for them and everyone planning to attend but I wouldn't bank on it.

I just called up a radar screen for where you are Lew. Looks like the stuff is just hovering over that whole area. You might be getting a little batch of snow overnight too. Everyone, be safe driving out there.

Thanks everyone for some well thought out responses. It's nice to hear others' views on things.

You can say THAT again, Joe.

Mr. Cadene has left the building.

Condolences to you Dan. He's surely in a better place.
