  1. That could be why I have the tire wear that I do.. I will have to check the bushings because I believe that the trailer is tracking to one side..
  2. Camping is another example of something that is in sudden demand. Sites have been tough to find in most provincial parks. Trailers are going for a premium and I see a lot of posts on the unofficial parks page from inexperienced owners asking for help. Something that is interesting is the amount of equipment left behind at parks as well. Many times dining tents are abandoned right on the site while a lot of other stuff is left at the garbage. One common theme in all this is how much money has been spent/wasted. I guess some people that worked through this have done very well for themselves..
  3. I heard there was very little official warning but that an amateur storm watcher had eyes on it well before it hit. Environment Canada dropped the ball on this one and thankfully no one was killed..
  4. I have the same trolling motor and I like it even though it can be quirky on occasion. My handheld remote works well but the foot pedal has to be synced because it doesn't work currently..
  5. My workplace is in the background of your Randle Reef shot.. a week ago I was watching a show from Netflix called Bad Blood and there we were again.. lol
  6. When I backwash the pool they come up in broad daylight. Chlorine in the water does it i think.. bought worms a month ago for $4 a dozen..
  7. I just sold a tinner I've owned for almost 20 years for $200 less than I paid for it.. and it was priced reasonably too..
  8. I actually like fishing for bass on lake Erie when the winds are calm.. there's nothing like watching a big bass chase your jig 20 feet below the surface..
  9. I was out on Long Point recently and I watched a couple in a Bass boat fishing for pike as if they were in a Bass tourney. It was comical the way they weaved in and out of the anchored pack . The guy even did the old lay on his back and reach behind him to land a fish. Must be practice for when the season opens. At which time they will do the same routine but the anchored tri-hull boats will be using minnows and the bass will be going right into their cooler or on a stringer..
  10. Samsung and many other tv's have poor quality parts, especially the capacitors which are a $10 piece. Mine gave out at 18 months and I was able to get it repaired. At the same time my 18 month old LG fridge died.. manufacturers know that they are building crap but they also know people have a very short attention span and they love shiny new things. I hope that one day someone files a class action lawsuit on behalf of consumers..
  11. I know this is an older thread but the Dollarama in Ancaster meadowlands had a good selection of filet knives. They had the 9 and 7 inch Shimano plus a mustad and a Shakespeare 6 inch.. decent enough for a backup knife..
  12. I love these comments.. personally I'm not a Bass guy and I think some of the Bass guys are crazy spending 6 figures to catch a fish that a little kid on a dock could get but to each their own.. have fun and stay safe..
  13. An argo would be great for some of the lakes I fish but not for the secret ones where we park a hundred yards from where we pop into the woods and walk to the lake where the boat is stashed..😁
  14. Could a technician fix that problem or is the motherboard sealed in epoxy? Quite often with electronics its a cheap part failure but an expensive fix..
  15. With the shifts I work I have the luxury of going during the week so I avoid the weekend warrior crowd. I bet the free launch was a nightmare..
  16. This was filmed in Stoney Creek on one take. I suspect that the drone was slowed down at certain points.. I'm impressed with the flying skills either way.
  17. Besides family gatherings on holidays etc., I missed out on 2 spring trips to Nipigon. My buddies brother lives in Thunder Bay and we stay in a cabin that is pretty remote. Both are getting older and sooner rather than later that opportunity will be gone..
  18. Roger and Mary jo are nice people who will ensure that you enjoy your time there..
  19. It's a royal pain to get the simplest task done at home when you need a part from HD or CTC.. small town stores with less volume and an attentive manager or owner would handle it a lot better.. in the city you're just a number..
  20. Lodge boats are usually more organized and numbered.. they are likely owned by locals..
  21. I wonder if that's how Scugog got fished out..
  22. I always start with the doctor spoon and if it works I keep using it.. I like the Mepps Syclops as well because it casts far and has good action... I tried trolling without luck so running the trolling motor and casting was the ticket to getting hits..
  23. That sounds doable but all you will save is time driving up there.. now if the plane had floats that would be a different story..
