  1. Furthermore, found this, so it's pretty much black & white "No fishing of any kind is permitted in a fish sanctuary." Also check the non angling methods of catching smelt on page 11 and the open dates per FMZ.
  2. In part two you have pretty much nailed it, some tribs have their boundary at the very edge of the lake into which they flow, others have a denoted marker, such as a railway bridge, an erected post with the info displayed etc.
  3. Oh ya, be picky, same sh...., it's brown.
  4. I was in West Marine and they have the Garmin 76Cx on sale, I know, old model. The fellow there indicated that I would need to buy the chips that have the lake maps, specifically Simcoe and Georgian Bay what I want. So, is there a place that sells these individually rather than the whole bunch that I'll never use for a price that's more than the GPS. I'm interested in that model as it has 12V DC capability for the boat, don't have to rely on batteries. Thanks.
  5. Related to Rip van Winkle are you, slept over it all winter.. Now supposing there was water in them there hubs and bearings, what do you think it did all winter? A little bit of water and iron makes ferrous oxide, a.k.a rust. That rust will also attack the spindles and kinda screw things up there too. If you do them in the fall, you may save the bearings, and best of all, be ready to go in the spring when the Robins a bobbin' but your bobber ain't 'cause your trailers broke. As for bearing buddies, everyone has their opinion on them.
  6. Use an inverted plastic beer cup, keeps the rain out.
  7. Like I've always said, it's unfortunate that sex is a natural act and no instructions are required. If it weren't for that fact, nature would then have automatically weeded out all the idiots and stoopid ones at an early point in evolution. On the other hand, we wouldn't have any idiots to laugh at and stoopid wouldn't be in the dictionary.
  8. They must have been eating genetically modified stoopid food this morning. More javex in the gene pool.
  9. Very good article. I've got a couple of CTEK chargers keeping my batteries happy.
  10. My lug nuts take more torque that that piece of wood you drive. If I put my Cummins into your recycled pop sardine can, it would most likely turn the frame and driveline into something akin to overcooked spagetti without any meat sauce. Now go buzz off and play in the dirt.
  11. Go to Princess Auto and get #4 welding cable. Super fine strand, flexible and has a rubber jacket. You can get the terminal connectors at West Marine.
  12. Picards Peanuts and the Chocolate shop next door, right on the corner of #85, here's the map http://www.stjacobs.com/sites/default/files/2011PrinterFriendlyMaps_000.pdf Oh ya, not to forget the bakery, the aroma....just goes on forever. The restaurant next door. Don't know if the farmers market is open this time of year.
  13. Over the shoulder from the front, I would be a little leery carrying something like that in a backpack over rough terrain. A slip and fall backwards and you can really screw your back up. If it's loose in your arms, you can drop it and save yourself.
  14. I think I'd rather listen or greaseless bearings in their final moments before they disintegrate or maybe fingernails on a chalkboard.
  15. I made my own just to see if it would help. Take any 5 gallon plastic pail, cut off the upper 3-4 inches where the ridges are, save that. I made a tapered nylon sack about 3 feet long that attaches securely around the plastic pail "ring", tapers from full size to about a 6" opening. It goes overboard on the opposite side of the downrigger when I'm alone, keeps the boat running straight and helps in slowing it down. I'm sure you can make the same with something like an Ikea bag. If it works, you have accomplished something on the cheap.
  16. Well I'm betting on one thing, they're all rolling off Hop Sings conveyer belt after being "dressed" in different covers with different names. Roll'em over and check Made in _______. The only way I see getting ones that have the power is to go cross border shopping and get the 5 watt GMRS models that are not available here.
  17. I sure hope it isn't. That's nasty .. http://www.google.ca...WL3PzmA&cad=rja
  18. Going by the description and size of the Yellow Grub, 1/4 inch long, and the initial picture where it shows the length against the first segment of a finger about one inch long, I don't think it's the same grub type.
  19. Amen on that one. If I get my city water at $1.18 a cubic meter, why would anyone pay $0.20 for one 1 litre bottle. For those unaware, a cubic meter equals 1000 - 1 litre or 2000 - 500ml bottles. That means I pay $0.00118 cents per litre. You can sure filter a lot of water through a Brita system and still come out far ahead. All you have to do is...omg there's work involved.
  20. Drove by the river this morning, somone must have built a damm down there somewhere, it's come up a lot.
  21. IBP is still frozen, was there this morning.
  22. Ha ha ha, and here I thought they were just trying to sharpen their props in the gravel.
  23. Marine VHF is not for jibber jabber, it's a working net.
  24. I would stay south of Lefroy just to be on the safe side. Last week there was 10-12 inches around the 2nd line. That's all I'll admit to.
  25. And with this weekends weather forecast, I might as well resort to making some precooked meals for the afternoon shift.
