^^^gotta agree. But that's just me. Kinda like the deer hunter who doesn't like blood. Is oxy-moron the right word?

A monkey a football. Some guys that I've fished with, can't tie a hook or a boat to a dock. Let alone cast, keep a line from tangling or clean a fish. There awesome guys and it sure makes it fun when your watching and they have no clue!! MM

I would head to dark corner distillery. Looks like good shine there. When in Rome.

Strap studs then metal sheeting. Direct apply to ceiling.

Every self repecting man dreams of being superman. The real super hero. Even if it is for just a split second!!Thats 1 point for tiller.

yep, I understand your predictament, you are at a crossroads. pretty easy math if you want to be safe and lagal according to MTO, insurance. A boat = different vehicle. Even a tinny. No need for a V8 or something giant if your considering a 14ft boat. Trade vehicles, for one with a towing rating. IMO vehicles are all a bunch of junk, don't fall in love with yours, it WILL let you down at some point. Get a different piece of junk that you can do what you want with. You may even be able to get a vehicle and a boat out of your mazda? That would be good, if you really want a boat to stare at in your driveway 90% or more of the time. But it is that 10% or so that makes its worthwhile IMO.

How many different lakes have you fished? Of those, how many left you with the feeling.. " I'm not planning on coming back here, I was disappointed"

Well deserved, Im sure. Congratulations Mike P. Let the good times roll !!!!!

Has anyone tried the PP ZERO IMPACT, i'm sure it is another marketing tool but I did come across a video showing regular pp 50lb breaking a knot at 40lbs and the zero impact in 50 lbs breaking the same style knot at 65lbs. May be the difference at one critical moment? It is about $5 more than regular PP at lebaron. I don't see it on the BPS site. Anyone tried it yet as to knowing what it casts like? I think the main line is like regular PP and not SS8 hopefully?

good advice, I checked them all and they don't have any damage. I think it may be just time and paranoia. I did loose a few of my favourite lures and Im thinking for around $20 i may be able to help that a bit.

Thanks: Anyone have thoughts on the newest PP that came out? Twice the strength at the knot section. maybe I should guinea pig it?

If you feel your getting top dollar for your used motor and are thinking you want a new one.....then its a no brainer IMO. Your getting what you want X2. The hearse doesn't stop at the bank machine on the way by. N you may go out more with family and friends since you got a new toy!

Also Mike , I left a post in the tyler auction for you, do you mind responding to it for me and others. Cheers MM

Bill it just seemed to breaking too often to trust it anymore! Thanks Mike, since I want to re spool, it sounds like your a PP fan, have you tried 832? I think I have a spool of it I bought on sale at CT last year, but if its not as good I wont bother and keep it for a back up in case of emergency. These boys of mine are pretty critical if dad loses a fish or has to stop the boat to re-tie.

just AWESOME.

Your old fashioned fix is tried and tested, that's the one I prefer. It sounds cheaper too. cheers MM Side note: sorry to hear of your family loss, but what impression did you get from London ont?

I want to re spool my set up..It has/had powerpro on it for the last 2 years. I noticed it breaking a lot more and fraying easier at the end of last year. I have a 7' compre 6-12lb line 5/8 lure medium power fast action rod with 3000 stradic fj. I have kids so we fish whatever is swimming. mainly smallmouth casting and they like to troll for pike/walleye. With all the options on line, Im not sure which one is best suited to do most things ok. I'm stuck between mono or braid. If I run braid should I run a bit of mono leader while trolling for a little stretch? I do have a heavy setup with a okuma coldwater and a TDR trolling pole but it is set up with leadcore for now. On a side note: was the cold water recalled? thanks for the input MM

Breast!

It's called petty coat government! Your screwed for the rest of your life. Seriously! But you could try this. Quit looking at anything until you both come to agree on what is the maximum mortgage you are willing to have, then agree to find a place that needs a little bit done. (How about a basement or bathroom) not the whole place. IMO the day you make money on fixing up personal houses is kinda over. Unless you are flipping them quick or downgrading. My question is, why do u want to raise kids in town? In the country you know what your kids are doing and with who. In town there is more serious trouble for kids to get into and you cant control as easy who they hang around. FWIW working an 18 hr day for months isn't all that fun. Especially since you do it all day, come home and and do it more. Then she says: that's not straight, do you know what your doing? Been there Done that.. Not fun. And chews up all your pocket cash if that's the way your paying. Also don't forget silly, your asking a fishing community about doing nite/weekend work. BAD IDEA. GO FISH'N Or get a POS house and I will buy your stradic for 40$ since you don't use it anymore!

What does this all mean to you? Corporation getting the best of government.... Not the first time we have all heard this. You seem to have some sort of bone to pick here? Or maybe the first time your getting a taste of this corporate smoke show? There are alot of former factory workers who have lived it.

what does the title mean? " Box landings with DJK on skis" DJK?

i hope you didnt pay tax Pete

No tax event starts feb 5th according to website

That's a great day. Nice going.

That has to be fun!!! Good fishing!!
