Lower end of the Saguenay gets all sorts of saltwater stuff from what I remember even the odd shark.

Ya, the celery, carrots, garlic onions and extra rosemary are in the pan to flavour the sauce and get the roast up of the bottom of the pan. Although it's the chef's privilege to eat a few before the pan is deglazed with red wine.

That was after the 30 minutes at 450 degrees. I pulled it out to flip it (take a photo) and turn down the oven.

450 for 30 minutes and then 275 until medium rare. Edit to add that this was the last photo because things get hot and heavy near the end with the gravy and Yorkshires.

Well, the only way to tell would be a home and home cook-off to see for sure. The only losers would be our belts.

And giant light as air Yorkshire pudding.

House is full of the aroma of rosemary and beefy goodness. It's time now for low and slow... and a skate in the front yard.

A Toronto sports writer goes to the Bassmaster Classic... It goes about as well as you'd expect. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/more-sports/kelly-a-fish-out-of-water-at-the-bassmaster-classic---cold-wet-and-hoping-to-survive/article23138622/?click=sf_globe

Now I know why I haven't caught too many bigger eyes.... You've been catching your share and mine.

I've never been in a kingfisher on the water but I've eyed them up a lot at some shows and I like what I've seen.

As to length it would vary depending on the application and target species. Trolling leaders tend to be longer (3-6 feet is common depending on cover and rod length). Casting tend to be shorter, but also consider the baits used.

Vandals, accident or someone didn't want to pull it off/out of the ice anymore? http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/2015/02/20/ice-hut-goes-up-in-flames

Well if you don't say anything I'm sure she won't find out.

Yep. I've seen a few big ticket items jump in price the last 2 months.

My 2 boat set-up quickly turned to 3 when I realized my dream tiller (19-20ft, 115hp) would be a little big for some of my spots. So I'd need to add a 16ft/40ish hp tiller as well. Good thing money is no object, because I'd need a lot of shop space for 3 boats and their tow vehicles. My 3rd boat would be a full windshield for family/fishin' outings.

I caught part of an episode of Fishin' Canada where they built a boat to the specs that they wanted/needed for their use. They took a brand new boat and then stripped it down and built it back up again. They increased the size of the front deck, improve the storage, jacked up the performance and a bunch of other things. It would be a sort of fun "if I won the lottery" type thing to think about while driving on a fishing trip. Although I realized pretty quickly that if money truly was no object then I'd have to have multiple boats to suit my multi species/locale fishing pursuits. The cost of their project boat was over $100k. Not sure if that includes the cost of the new boat to begin with or not. Even working with that type of budget I think I could go $60/$40k (maybe $35/$65) on 2 boats that would cover most of my current "needs".

My understanding is that what most of us refer to as the 5 of diamonds is more correctly called: red and yellow... or is it yellow and red. Or maybe it's a ski-doo/snowmobile type of thing?

On top is best but it's tough to get one down the icehole though.

I don't know why anyone would play such a cruel and unusual game as this but I'd go brown twistertail on a jig as well.

This is my son's first year playing hockey and I made an outdoor rink. So I'm spending more time on the ice then I have for a lot of winters but I haven't even strung up an ice rod yet. Hockey season ends at the end of February so maybe I'll get out before break-up.

That looks like it would be so much fun that i might forget to fish.

This week's Quirks and Quarks talked about this. The pod cast is available on the net.

On its way to the Sportsman Show? This was on the 401 east, near Guelph.

Or this? At the 1:30 mark:
