  1. I read a similar thing Nick, but then as jimmer suggests they seem to be too big for a coyote or even a large dog.
  2. We had a fresh snowfall yesterday and this morning while wandering around the back yard I came across the tracks of several different animals but these ones got my attention because of their size. Definitely canine but they're huge at about 5" long including the claws and 4" wide. There's coyotes around here but not many and I'm thinking these could be wolf tracks but I'm just curious as to what others may think. I had a critter on my front lawn a couple years back about the size of a German Shepard that I'm absolutely sure was a wolf. FWIW I'm 3 miles south of Burliegh Falls These are pictures of 3 different tracks to give you an idea.
  3. Sad when a simple fishing report turns into a pi$$ing match but unfortunately it happens all too frequently around here lately. No wonder so many of the long time regulars are no longer here anymore.
  4. Listen to what Outlaw has to say boys, he's the go-to guy for LSC muskies.
  5. You've got a PM Norm.
  6. I joined in the spring of 2002 and the board had been going for a couple years then but I don't recall exactly how many.
  7. You probably remember my boat Greg, a Skeeter WX1880 It was a bit smaller than that WX2060 your looking at but it was a fantastic boat that handled big water with no problems and with a Yammie 150 it would run just over 50 MPH. Can't comment on any of the others but I can guarantee you'd be happy with a Skeeter.
  8. No big ole musky could ever say no to a big ole black & orange spinnerbait.
  9. Hopefully folks remember that gesture Norm and give that restaurant their business all year long. The fella that owns that place is a class act for sure.
  10. Before spending any money Steve, check the easy stuff first. Be sure the plug hasn't just come loose and also see it the breaker has tripped.
  11. Why would anyone feel emasculated for giving up something they had a fortune tied up in and they no longer had the passion for doing it ? I fished hard for 65 years and now I've had enough. And besides, I now have an extra 400 sq. ft. in my garage LOL
  12. Too bad you weren't looking for musky gear a couple months ago. I just sold off everything I owned including some high end rods & reels, all the musky tackle you'd ever use, a couple tackle boxes, a Frabil/Beckman musky net hybrid and everything in between. Even tossed a 19' SKEETER deep V, tandem custom trailer & 150 Yammy into the mix A few fellas on this board got some very nice deals.
  13. Don't be too concerned with the weight of the reel, I tossed my bigger jerk baits with a 7000 Abu for years and the weight difference with the large reel was negligible.
  14. Guess I should have explained better but I wasn't referring to the original post but just buying tires in general when I suggested buying good ones rather than cheap. Obviously if they're just to get a car to the end of a lease cheaper will do the trick.
  15. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe it's just me, but in my opinion tires are one of the most important parts of a car for keeping me and mine safe and I'll ALWAYS buy the best I can get. I could NEVER understand why anyone would cheap out on something as important as tires. As I said though, maybe it's just me.
  16. Johns a great guy Floatman, he'll treat you well.
  17. I had no intention of buying the tires from the dealership Shane, I knew they'd be highest price but wanted a benchmark to start from.
  18. My Michelin Defenders were $400 cheaper at Peterboro Kal Tire than the local FORD dealer
  19. I just put 20" Michelin Defenders on my F150 and the total price including road hazard and taxes from Kal Tire was $1193 and they're the best tires I've ever driven on.
  20. Thanks to all once again, I never thought this post would last so long LOL And just an update in case anyone is interested, we're 2 weeks into our 2nd half century together and the ole girl is still talking to me so I spose we're still good
  21. They just knew how good you were Drew LOL
  22. Split rear seat is nice but if you can get a split center seat as well it'll make your day on the water much more enjoyable. Gives you much more room and makes moving around the boat FAR easier without having to climb over that center seat all the time. If the open concept is beyond your budget maybe worth your while looking at a slightly used boat with the option. Just a thought though.
  23. Outstanding weekend Josh and a good bunch of fish to go with it. That moonrise/sunset combo is (was) always my favorite time to be chasing those slimers.
  24. That's great Dave, I got my license in '62 in Mom's Austin A35. Only mistake I made was reaching for the dash mounted turn signal switch before I completed the turn. Did yours have the same little lighted arms that swung out from near the roof to indicate the direction of turning ?? LOL Funny little car but me and my buds had a blast in it.
  25. Thanks for posting the pics of the old Chevy again Dan, never get tired of seeing that old girl.
