  1. It looks like they are having fun! A search of youtube videos may help?
  2. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g182143-i1641-k4588816-Touring_1000_Islands_via_Houseboat-Gananoque_Ontario.html This may help? I have never done it but it looks like it could be a great time. Just from what I saw listed, it's a huge area, I don't think a weekend or a week would cover it well? Too much of a rush? I would think any marina that sells fuel to larger boats would also have a pump out station for the holding tanks? No idea what size motor they have, fuel stops may need to be planned? A box on the water is probably going to catch a lot of wind? Hopefully your wife and kids are big enough to help with docking?
  3. I can imagine Wayne, we have had a few warm days here, and paid for them at night and the next couple of days. This weekend and the next few days after it would be what I would call the first real warmup of the spring here.
  4. I remember my dad going to Lady Evelyn lake one year for the walleye opener in May, the camp owner told him the ice just got off the lake the week before. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/l/44253 Note the change in the prevailing winds, maybe it will warm up a bit up north too? It hasn't been a warm spring yet here either.
  5. Just my opinion? Best answer, it's not like you took them apart and changed gear ratios. Even if they drain the gear oil and analyzed it and found excessive metal in the oil it would seem like a manufacturing defect to me, a warranty issue.
  6. I have had shark steaks, I believe they were Mako, very good!
  7. http://www.forbes.com/2010/05/04/tpc-sawgrass-fishing-lifestyle-sport-golf-pga-tour.html I recall hearing of a golf pro years ago catching a 10# plus bass out of a Florida golf course pond, it seems some of those golfers fish too. As far as I know all the golf course ponds in my area are stocked, getting permission to fish them? another story. It helps if you know someone in authority at them I guess?
  8. If I want to imitate a bait fish I usually go with a white tube with silver flecks, such as. http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/netcraft-dominator-baits/530527.aspx# I also used the Sculpins, a great lure on Lake Erie, on a jig head or drop shot.
  9. The bass in California sure seem to like trout!
  10. Looks like a goose decoy to me! LOL
  11. I don't get her complaint? " You shouldn't be hunting this close to people's homes? " What may have been a home was off in the distance, and if they were using shotguns as goose decoys would suggest? It's a bit hard to get a clear idea of the scale of distance, but I can make out homes here a half a mile away at least, out of range for shotguns? If they had permission to hunt the land and were legal? I didn't see anything that showed they weren't? Prozac?
  12. https://img0.etsystatic.com/050/0/6931930/il_570xN.715975370_7wvs.jpg Drift socks help, especially on Lake Erie, these do too, the drift may not be as smooth but they disturb the rocks on the bottom and send crawfish and other things scurrying that attracts smallies. Old window sash weights, if you know some one that installs windows they might have some laying around.
  13. They are all over, they have been seen in the vacant industrial areas of Cleveland and even Chicago. I hear them once in a while in my area too, it's rural and plenty of places for them to roam, feed, and breed, more or less undisturbed. My son says he saw what looked like a coyote wander thru our yard one day, it might have been one. A number of my neighbors have had their small dogs and cats go missing, chickens and turkeys disappear, but without seeing the cause it is hard to fix blame? I watched a hawk one day keep diving on my neighbor's Italian Greyhound, I told her to get it inside before it disappears, although it is hard for me to picture a hawk flying off with a 6-8 pound dog.
  14. The buzzards are back here, I moved so slow I am afraid to go outside now! LOL
  15. A working fire extinguisher in the cab was the law here for trucks, I would like to think it is the same for buses. That rascal cooked! Never had a tire fire, but I understand they can be hard to put out. I would think that the driver would be able to see smoke or flames coming from the rear tires of the bus in his mirrors.
  16. http://www.portclintonnewsherald.com/story/news/local/lake-erie/2015/04/02/fishing-report-walleye-run-picking/70823222/ http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://coolwaterfish.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/twrcrowds.jpg&imgrefurl=http://coolwaterfish.com/the-walleye-run/&h=240&w=400&tbnid=ixe-N6idz9BTbM:&zoom=1&docid=0SehVVQxykfvBM&ei=cfopVfKBN8bboATK8YG4Ag&tbm=isch&ved=0CB8QMygCMAI
  17. I wonder if our politicians are ahead of the curve and have already invested heavily in the companies that make them? I can see the thought of lawsuits against police encouraging more people to enter that profession? Sarcasm intended. If a cop is wearing a camera will police selfies become popular? Do they turn it off for potty breaks and donuts stops? LOL If they make everyone wear a body camera maybe crime will disappear? It seems discriminatory to single out police for them, why not people with criminal records too? Too bad our politicians don't have to wear them, then we could see what really goes on in those meetings with lobbyists?
  18. Interesting, 70 years after ww2 and they still don't travel much faster than liberty ships.
  19. LOL, it's a giant!
  20. Temps are wandering from 50 to 65 here for the next 7 days, I hope he heat wave is making it's way north!
  21. I also couldn't get on for a few days, I even emailed Deg to see if he knew of a problem. All I would see was a bare skin of the page with little or no text, once I disabled ABP ad blocker plus on Firefox the problem went away.
  22. Money? It was his job? He is 75 now, if he can still earn a check fishing in his own pond? More power to him! People like Bill Dance, Rowland Martin, and others had a lot to do with starting the bass fishing craze, nice to see they got a bit of a reward for it?
  23. I am in tropical Ohio, my home is almost 2000 sq. ft. with a basement, all electric and I have a wood stove. My electric bill has run around 300 bucks a month since December, it has though been the 5th coldest winter on record here.
  24. I went and looked at a car with my son about 7 years ago, a Chevy Malibu, nice car, but on the test drive the engine was missing. On close inspection I could see where mice or rats had chewed on the plug wires. I have seen them build nests on top an intake manifold and inside of cars, stored indoors or out.
  25. This one might work too?
