  1. In Port Dalhousie I had god luck with medium or large size hammered Little Cleos - chrome with blue or green stripes. In windy days I use chrome Kastmasters or their clones.

    Using spoons is not easy way to get a brown there but it more professional way of fishing.

    All novice anglers there use bottom row-bag or strimmer bottom bouncing techniques.

     

    You're opening a big can of worms with your comments. I know guys that have been fishing for 60years and their preferred method is bottom bouncing a big juicy night crawler. And you know what, they out fish everyone. So saying that one method is more professional while another is for novice fisherman, is pure Bull and highlights everything that is wrong about elitist attitudes. Anyone can chuck a spoon a have success, the roe baggers, worm bottom bouncers, fly fisherman, they are successful because they learn to read the river and place their presentation in a spot with the highest success rates, not randomly chuck a spoon and hope for the best

     

    I could say that my chosen method of fishing is more professional than all else, but it's not, we're all equal, we have a common goal. One method will outnshine others on a given day, and you are either forced to switched up, or face a skunk. That's the beauty of fishing.

  2. while going through videos, i found this, an unreleased song, never recorded in studio, but sang at live shows. called montreal, commemorate the École Polytechnique massacre.

  3. Not often does a musician touch so many people. I think just about everyone can relate to at least one of their songs.

     

    I'm so glad I got to watch that final concert, rarely does a concert shut down a countrue

     

    A truely great lose to music, and to Canada

  4. we got the price guarenteed for 2 years and yes 100mbs and unlimited usage......in 2 years we will have fibe available and will switch back

     

    LOL good luck with that, we had fibe at our place in oshawa, when we moved to whitby, we moved into the one little block where it isn't available, im talking right in the middle of town, not out in the country, its available 10 doors to the west, 15 doors east, 15 doors south, and 2 backyards to the north. so bell put us on satellite, and the highest speed internet available at our place, a whopping 5mb/s download speed. it was fine for about 8 months, then I switched to rogers, called to cancel with bell, they offerered to lower my rates, and said that we were schedualed to get fibe in the area by the fall. i said no thanks, and made the switch. 2 years later, fibe is still not available at our place.

     

    just for sh!ts and giggles, i JUST checked availability on the bell site, still not available........

  5. just switched recently from bell to rogers and got a good deal. 149 a month for tv high speed internet and home phone. Tv has all the movie and sports channels HD channels came with 2 hd receivers,same thing was costing us 250 with bell. We can have 5 people streaming or gaming at once with no issues plus we got nhl centre ice so all games.

    You'll be up to 250 when the promotion runs out. I did the same deal when I switched from bell to rogers. Although they did upgrade me from the 60mbs to 100mbs and 320gb usage

  6. For just tv from rogers I'm at $75 per month, hbo and movie network are like $25 a month each. I went with Netflix for movies and stuff, it's $11 a month

     

    That's all HD as well with a pvr.

     

    I've been going back and forth on deciding to go with an android box or not, my gf parents went with iptv for a month, and it was horrible, was probably just that the box was the cheapest on the market, but yea, bad

  7. For a beginner setup, redington makes an all in one combo, around $160. Rod, reel, line, leader, and a couple flies to get you started.

     

    The rod is actually pretty decent, the reel will need to be upgraded when you feel ready

     

    For bass, a heavier weight rod, 7-8 wt is recommended just because of the flies you'd be throwing, highly wind resistent, so you need a strong rod with lots of power to throw it.

     

     

    My two rods are a 6 and an 8wt. My 6wt I would consider a mid level setup, my 8wt, well, let's not go there.....I haven't even told my gf the cost of that setup.

     

    I would recommend a 6 or 7wt rod setup for you. TFO, redington, echo all make nice entry level rods. For a reel, echo ion all the way, it's about $100, excellent drag, large arbor, and about the best bang for your buck at that price point.
