Yeah, haven't we all LOL

You always seem to get into nice fish Bill no matter what species your chasing.

If you can't find what your looking for Roger, Aikmens can probably help you. I haven't been out there in years but the place used to be good at fixing trolling motors.

Good pics of the horse Barry but disappointing for you that you didn't get what you were looking for.

Yeah I remember you being there Roger and your right, we never caught many but it sure was some fun times and a great way to end the year.

A group of us would meet on the Niagara River at Fort Erie every December on the last Saturday of the musky season, fish all day then head to a restaurant and the end of the day for super. Always a fun way to close out the season.

But 2 months early Rich LOL

Yeah, I had the feeling she was as interested in me as I was of her. After I took the 1st picture I continued on my walk and she followed me through those trees behind her. After 200' she came out and walked to about 50' from me and I got the 2nd picture. Also liked all your trail cam pictures Barry, some great pictures there.

Not trail cam pics but a moose I encountered while walking along a dirt road on the West Arm of Nipissing a couple years back.

Ya gotta do something at Lew O'Clock, might as well go wet a line somewhere's

Reading your review makes my thoughts totally wrong Bill, good to hear you like the new style.

My 1st thought was that grip may force you to always keep your hand and wrist in the same position which could make it even more uncomfortable. I know anytime I was casting large baits for an extended period of time I liked to be able to change my hand positioning. Also looks to me like it may hinder your casting. Just my opinion though as I've never tried that type of grip before.

hahaha

Folks always said I looked miserable whenever I caught a nice fish Bill but I think you've got me beat hahaha

And I'm sitting here with 3 antlers on my fireplace hearth that I could get a small fortune for LOL

Pet food stores get crazy prices for bits of deer antlers for chew toys for dogs Chris. Local store to me sells 4" pieces for around $25.

A Merc dealer should be able to help you....maybe ?

I was wandering around Youtube this morning and came across this video on electric blowers and figured I'd add it to this discussion. Seems like this particular machine handled the heavy snow pretty well but then the batteries ran out and he had to wait for the re-charge which I wouldn't want to do. Then he mentions the cost of replacement batteries and that blew my mind. Personally, I clear about 600' of snow each time so electric wouldn't work for me and I use a 2 stage gas Toro but electric may work OK if you don't have too much to clear. All comes down to a personal choice.

Some nice muskies are being caught on the West Arm lately. Memquisit Lodge is a good place to stay and it's right where you want to be for good fishing. https://www.memquisitlodge.net/

Good to hear Pete, Nova Scotia's had some tough luck this year, hopefully you get a reprieve this coming winter.

How'd you make out with the Hurricane Pete, radar maps seemed having it hit you pretty well head-on.

I think your right Terry, the motor will still crank but won't start with the kill switch off.

When I was a kid and then my own kids after me would go door to door asking if they wanted their driveway shoveled and that's how we made our extra spending money. No kids in your neighborhood looking to make some extra cash Cliff ?
