Thanks Chris, I've never done it that way before. I normally just copy the properties and paste but couldn't get it with that site. Guess you really can teach an old dog new tricks http://www.ccrodsocks.com/contactus.htm

Thanks Roy, that's the one. I can't ever get the properties for a link with Google Chrome so I usually just switch back to IE but even that wouldn't work today.

It's always a pain trying to get rods out of the locker cause they always catch on each other, so I finally decided to catch up to the 21st century and order some sleeves for them. I contacted Phil but he didn't have any but he put me on to a guy he knows who makes them. I called the manufacturer and told him that I needed a bunch of sleeves to fit musky rods and he said it wasn't a problem and just tell him exactly what sizes I needed and he made them to custom fit each rod. He made them up, put them in the mail and I had them 2 days later. Fantastic service !! Sure is nice to be able to put them in the lockers and bring them back out without everything getting hung up. They were only $6.00 each and shipping was $9.00 total from Brampton area to my place. Not trying to SPAM here, just passing along some info on a great company to deal with. If anyones interested his website is WWW.CCRODSOCKS.COM For some reason I can't post a link Here's some of the covers. And here they are nicely tucked into the front locker. There's more in a side locker too.

Hey Brian, Diane says if she ever gets her jar back, she'll expect it to be full of beats

Wow, talk about going from happy, to sad, and back to happy again. Sounds like everything worked out great for you guys johnny, and congratulations for that !!!

If I was heading up that way, Ben Beatty is the guy I'd be calling.

Tightlines is good but it brings me closer to Toronto than I ever want to be again, infact even Oshawa is really pushing my limits anymore

Good to see Marc's still treating those big girls well Roy. Couple great pictures there.

Sorry to hear that Bob, best of luck to your wife.

Thanks for the offers Simon & Johnny, very generous of both of you. I've got enough stuff for awhile and will be placing an order to the States in the next month or so and can get everything else I need then too. We've got a good group around here

Looks like I forgot to mention that I STILL didn't get what I was looking for. I use #5 SPRO ball bearing swivels and SAIL doesn't carry them and Gagnon was sold out. Oh well, it was still a nice day for a drive

Yeah, JB's has been my go-to store for years but he's 2 hours away from me now and I have NO interest in driving thru Toronto again....ever again There's not many tackle shops around here and only the very basic musky gear is available, so most times now I just order on-line if I can't find it down in Oshawa.

I'd never doubt your word Brian

I needed some terminal tackle that isn't available around here, and seeing as I had nothing to do to-day, I decided it was a good time to take the 1 hour drive and go down to Oshawa to visit the new SAIL store. First thought was it was alot bigger than I figured it would be and they've also got a large parking lot. When I walked inside and glanced around I was pleasantly surprised at the large selection of outdoor gear they've got and the way it's displayed around the store. I spent an hour wandering around just looking at everything even though I didn't really need much. The staff seemed friendly and I was asked several times if I needed help with anything. The store is well laid out and everything is easy to find. I didn't spend much time comparing prices but was surprised to see them asking ALOT more money for at least one fishing rod. I purchased a St. Croix Legend Tournament musky rod at Gagnons a couple months ago for $260 and SAIL was asking $320 for the exact same rod. If alot of their higher end gear is that much more expensive than other places they may end up losing business. Other than that I was impressed with the store and I'm admittedly kinda confused with all the negative comments about the place I've seen posted here in the past. Anyways, I liked the place and will definetly go back again and just thought I'd share my thoughts......for whatever that's worth

Atta boy Ben !!

Here's a picture I took a few years ago Joey that shows clouds looking similar to yours.

And your trusting this guy to install your tires ??

Crazy looking clouds for sure and some great pictures Joey. We got some heavy rain over this way for awhile too and it was very welcome as it was the 1st rain in 15 days. Could still use a bunch more though.

Bubbling isn't a "normal" thing on a boat though, and myself, I'd be very interested in knowing what's causing the bubbling if I was thinking about buying it. But that's just me

I prefer the butt seat myself as it keeps you in a standing position, but I only use it for support on windy days when the boat is bouncing around. It just helps to keep things a bit steadier in rough water.

I've used the Strikers for pickeral set-ups Mike and they work OK for that type of fishing or even smaller musky baits but I doubt they'd ever handle the pressure from baits like Plows or Frankies

Salties for me too.

Are you saying there's unethical fishermen amongst us Roy ??

It was reported on Peterboro news this morning that someone spotted a cougar near the Otonabee River over the weekend. That's the only details that were offered

That's the same one I use, their excellent !!
