I'm just a few miles east of Pigeon at Clear Lake and from what I can see from here it appears to still be fully covered in ice so I'm guessing Pigeon will be similar ?? I could sure be wrong though.

Sorta like the dishwasher we bought 2 years ago. When I was hooking it up I discovered there was no way to connect the water supply hose to the machine, so I got out the manual and right there in black and white it tells me the part # that I have to go to the hardware store to purchase. I called the customer service and asked them why on earth they'd sell a dishwasher with no way to hook up the hose and got the stock answer....I dunno

Looking forward to all the warm weather that's approaching and this snow & ice can't go fast enough for me. It's been an easy winter but I've still had more than plenty. And also folks, with the time change its also time to replace the batteries in all your smoke and co2 detectors.

I was just having some fun, no offence meant

I believe you meant I'M just glad :lol: Sorry, couldn't resist

I agree with you 100% Skip, emergency services are there for everyone, whether they got into trouble through foolishness, mis-adventure, carelessness or just plain bad luck.

Good to hear your bud made it off OK Chuck.

I learned to fish with cork in the 50's and I'm still using it today. No sense in changing a good thing.

My brother used to be a volunteer firemen and they received a call late one night from someone in a cottage saying he could hear someone calling for help out on the ice somewhere. My brother and 3 other firemen took a ladder and some ropes and started out towards the voices. Trouble was the ice was very weak and they actually broke thru a couple times but eventually they located the fisherman in the water. One man was dead and the other was close to it. They used the ladder to get close enough and tie ropes on them and eventually they pulled the fishermen out and got the one man back to shore and into the waiting ambulance then went back to retrieve the dead man. My brother and the other 3 rescuers did an excellent job in a very serious situation but very nearly died themselves in the process. So yes, some folks make mistakes and die, but sadly they often take the rescuers with them. Be careful out there folks.

Kinda sad Bob when you jump into every truck thread with your Tundra ramblings. I'm sure if Gerry wanted to know anything about Tundras he'd have mentioned it. Actually it's getting very tiresome.

Gerry, I remember a few months back...or maybe more... there was a thread on BassBoatCentral about this exact topic. Might be worth your while to head over there and maybe try to dig it up and see if they've come up with anything.

Snowing hard over this way too but the sunny warm weather that's coming in a couple days will take care of it.

Could be kinda dangerous for sleep walkers

Might be a good idea to get the facts from Kevin & Leslie before all the rumours start flying around.

Morning Gerry, mines a 2010 Super Crew with the 5.4 and about 45K on it I and haven't experienced that shudder your talking about. I know a couple other fellas with the same truck but haven't heard them mention it either.

Sounds great Mike, looking forward to your story & pics for that trip.

That really stinks Jon, sure hope you find the punk that stole your gear.

I've never liked 2 piece rods myself, infact I've never even owned one before, but I wanted a new 8'6" Compre musky rod and they only come in 2 piece. I went and looked at them recently and was happy with what I saw. It actually comes apart right at the forward grip rather than in the middle and seems like it's gonna work very well for me.

I drove down to Gagnons in Oshawa a couple weeks back to buy another musky rod and never even bothered going into the new Sail nearby. Never been in a Sail store and have nothing against them, but like others have said I prefer to spend my $$$$ in the long established local businesses.

I get up every morning between 2 & 3 just because I like that time of day. No fishing for me this morning though cause at 4:30 AM I was painting the kitchen and tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM I'll prolly be painting some more. LUV the early morning hours

Well done boys, lotsa big there !!

Fantastic job Southpaw, it really looks sharp !!

It's just like what side of a bicycle should a person climb on or off. There's no right or wrong hand to crank a reel or hold a rod with. Just do whatever feels best.

Outstanding Brian

We fished Quinte most May 24 weekends for close to 50 years and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Springtime pickeral & Bay of Quinte just go together like peanut butter & jam !!
