  1. Nice fish and a great way to break in a new boat, that 1st bit of musky slime is a charm !!
  2. Atta boy Bill, real purty fish and congrats on the PB.
  3. Congratulations on your retirement Brian, it's a milestone we all look forward to. I've been retired 20 years now and have never regretted taking early retirement once, you just have to keep busy and don't ever let yourself get bored. I start every day with a 4 mile walk at sunrise, 365 days a year and after breakfast I get busy and if I don't have a job to do I invent one LOL Enjoy the time you've earned bud, you've got a whole new life ahead of you. For years on this board my signature said "when your retired, every day is Saturday morning".
  4. And make sure you have a lug wrench that fits the trailer wheels because the one for your truck may not.
  5. 47" is a very impressive pike, congratulations to your wife !!
  6. Thank you, she'll be going home soon.
  7. My daughter is currently in Toronto Western Hospital on the 9th floor and sent me this picture she took at sunrise this morning and just thought I'd share .
  8. Give Burleigh Island Lodge a call, they're just a few miles north of Youngs Point and last time I was there they had cabins for rent plus docking. No idea what it's like right now but it's a nice place is they can accommodate you.
  9. Awesome story Brian and good to hear you got to spend some well deserved time together.
  10. I have a roadside pond on my front lawn every year when the snow melts but the only thing that lives in it are ducks LOL
  11. Actually 10 pounds per Imperial gallon here in Canada Paul
  12. I bought a pair of Bear Paw snowshoes there around 1960
  13. I'm just curious here, but are you somehow affiliated with Fish'n Canada as I don't recall you ever posting about anything else other than that show ?
  14. A neighbor down the road told me they caught a goby off their dock on Clear Lake last week, but who knows ?
  15. There was another Outdoor Store on the Danforth and although it was small they carried alot of stuff and I bought a set of golf clubs there many years ago. There was also a Collegiate Sports not too far away at Warden & St.Clair and I used to like wandering around there but I think the only thing I ever bought was a pair of Kodiak boots. Nice store but they didn't last too long at that location.
  16. https://1funny.com/fishing-a-dry-lake-bed-with-soda/ And he even cleans up his garbage LOL
  17. Just another thought for you but windows in the garage doors is a really nice option and you can get thermal windows if you want. I had my windows put at eye level and am very happy with the set-up.

  19. But then I'd have to flog Lew''s Reels and that would make me one of the guys I'm complaining about LOL
  20. ^^^^^ Thanks for the laughs there bud, sounds like your ready for your own Fishing show LOL
  21. Good to hear you enjoy them Bill, the never ending advertisements just aren't my thing.
  22. I stopped watching TV fishing shows years ago mainly because most of them are nothing more than Infomercials and IMO the worst was always Fishful Thinking. I came in the den at 9:00 this morning and turned on the TV and sure enough it was Fishful Thinking. I wondered if anything had changed and sat down to watch it. Only took a couple minutes and he hooked into a Lake O salmon and by the time he had the fish in the boat he'd advertised ... I think ...7 different products. I turned it off and I spose it'll be another 5 years before I watch another fishing show.
  23. When you see a Shimano for $4 just keep on walkin.
  24. Couple hours west of Ottawa Brian
