  1. Then tell them to leave the store.
  2. Ya that secret pond just down the road. It was us and 25 other boats.
  3. Decided last minute to take my son fishing today and this was the going to be our first boat launch without adult supervision. He did great, I did ok, and we caught some fish. Not bad for a stinkin' hot day. He was too busy catching fish to even finish his snacks... and he's always eating his snacks. Now he needs to practice using a camera so we can get some photos of all those monsters I catch.
  4. All of them, at least the expensive ones. The rubber skirt type (spro and others) pulled right out after a few fish. I switched to the very lifelike rubber frogs (koppers, lunkerhunt and a 3rd that I forget). They were worse. The one lasted one fish that nipped at the legs and pulled both off. The others didn't last one day of fishing. I expect more for 10 plus bucks per lure. This last trip I used a top toad. The main reason I bought it was because 2 came in the package and it was a quarter the price. It's not a lifelike but it lasted the whole day and still has both legs. My kids have rubber lizards that don't cost nearly what we pay for lures and they can't pull those legs off no matter how hard they try.
  5. Geez Lew, glad everything is ok. Have some honey on your toast in the morning.
  6. I think I'm going to start a thread on slop frogs and their lack of durability.
  7. Two trips, one post. Fair amount of hits and we even got the hooks into a few. Despite years of tips, my brother doesn't take the best photos even with his own camera. Ryan had some hits on his topwater but couldn't get the hooks into one. Lots of panfish though. Saw lots of gar as well but they didn't seem to be too interested in rubber frogs.
  8. Those days when your fishing partner is 30 minutes late (and counting)

      x2. Great day to be on the water

  9. Careful, you could stop the bleeding but also stop the breathing with too much CO2.
  10. Like our senators would ever use the stairs.
  11. Are you building it solo, or do you have a second set of hands?
  12. Big dogs? A bought out player and a guy that hasn't been seen for 4 years?
  13. He was miscast. He doesn't have the personality to deal with the media/fan Bull that comes with being the number 1 guy in the biggest hockey market in the world. He scores goals. Any lug nut can be coached to check/defend and the league is full of 'em. His fitness has always been a question, he had mediocre top line help, lousy team support and coaches that couldn't coach for talent and still was one of the top 5 goal scorers over the last 5 seasons. Wonder what will happen now?
  14. Out of shape and scores goals with Bozak at centre. Now he'll be out of shape and have either Malkin or Crosby at centre.
  15. She agrees. Canada Day 3 years ago: London Ballon festival from 8-9 years ago:
  16. The cleat the drift sock is tied to is the only thing getting more stress and that's not likely more then what it would get if you use it to moor the boat.
  17. The video was recently uploaded and is clearly not from Ontario. There was an incident from Northern Ontario a few years ago and the guy(s) were charged. Not surprisingly to some, tsn is out to lunch.
  18. I'm going fishin'. I'll try to take a break from landing fish to look up.
  19. Nice to have that taken care of. Buying used is great but it does take a lot more searching.
  20. If your skies are clear you might want to look up after dark. http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/auroras-expected-to-dazzle-again-tonight-1.3125824
