  1. The BBQ shop by me in Oakville had a couple small ones and pricing was around $+600 each. A buddy had one and depending on where you sat the heat coming off certain spots was like a blast furnace Would be crazy cool to have ones with distinct lakes carved out
  2. One of the best places to see a good selection is Marks They carry a good selection and most guys I know that work outside year round get their stuff there
  3. what comes to mind is Oki Kingflasher, they're long kind of like an Apex but the bend is on the tail I think Shortwave used to sell them
  4. For any baseball fans there are 2 great documentaries on Netflix Fastball The Battered Bast*rds of Baseball
  5. used to rent from Three Bouys way back and we always tied up on south end inlets of Fox island or the inside of Nichol Island on Buckhorn bring fly swatter as lots of deer flies
  6. Grab a few of the 6" glow in the dark sticks from dollarama. they are amazing around the cabin and outhouse as a nightlight and we hung one off the dock to help coming in at night. Agree these are non-fishing essentials baby wipes ear plugs fly swatter for the boat laundry mesh bag to sink beer off the dock Multi tool, small adjustable.
  7. I got caught in 2 separate instances that were way too close, long before smart phones and radar weather reports on the internet Bass tournament on Rice lake back in the early 90's. VHF weather report called for some clouds and light rain in the afternoon but just after lunch a monster of a black cloud came crashing through the west end of the lake. So lucky to be up the otonabee river and took refuge on the docks of the old Blackthorn lodge. The lightening was crashing all around us and there was no gap between flashes and the huge boomers. Static electricity in the air was messing around with the spools of line on the dash of the boat and the tag ends were straight up in the air and flipping around on their own. Way back in my twenty's was fishing on the break wall at port credit in the spring and a good storm was brewing out on the lake. All the boats were bee lining back into the harbor as this storm rolled north. The rods started to buzz in your hands and you could here small snaps and clicks in the line as the static built up and then discharged when reeling in. I went back to the car and sat there as the storm rolled in. Huge boomers and hail went through for about 10 minutes
  8. I grew up at Dixie and queensway Burgers. Apache and C&Dubbs Pizza. Marconi or Pizza King (both take out or delivery) Wings. Wacky wings is newer and a good sports bar On the higher end Axia - Asian fusion around Winston Churchill and eglington Walkers fish market Lots of cool spots on north side of square one mall - Ruth crisp steakhouse too An absolute ton of great spots in port credit by the river Michaels back doors is great Italian in clarkson village
  9. google saltwater fishing piers broward county to get a few shore spots. These are pretty much high traffic public spots and they do get fish and wildlife guys dropping by checking for licenses I never did get to fish down in that area as we changed and went to Cocoa beach instead. The inner canals back off the beach hold some exotics like peacock bass and snakeheads You're only a 50-60 minute drive to Lake Okeechobee to, Guides are available out of Pahokee and Bell Glade
  10. did you try Fish 307? They have all the schematics for Cannon riggers which makes it easy to see what part you need and they have a good supply for older models I have first generation Mag 10's from the late 80's and get all my parts here. Quick shipping as they are just over in NY.
  11. Ron Post custom knives Sunridge Ontario He's been at the sportsman show selling his knives for the last few years I love mine. Have hunting, skinning, filet and a full set of custom steak knives from Ron
  12. The bait places I use have Oxygen tanks and can give the bag a good shot before sealing. We buy 2-3 bags for weekend trips each with enough minnows for a days fishing and open 1 each day. Keep the other bags unopened and sealed. Important to stay cold but not freezing and they'll be good for a couple days.
  13. Hope it's not tied to either Toronto or Montreal scoring (couldn't resist)
  14. simple is best, all we ever used on the sleds and ATV's up in temagami Stinger ATV Ice Auger Locker Hard to find nowadays but Sportsman Guide seems like they list it
  15. About half my moose ground was getting used up making jerky. I bought the high mountain kit from princess auto and did it in my oven. Did one pack (1-1.5 lb) at a time and it never lasted any more than a day or so around my house. not the best if your on a low salt diet cracked pepper and bourbon bbq was my favorite
  16. As an alternate on the way home check out 14 ave/Alden Rd and head east. It gets gradually better the further east of 404 you get. It'll get you far enough where you can get back onto Steeles. I have a number of customers in that area north of Steeles and it's generally my escape route out.
  17. It's been several years but there used to be a neat guitar shop in belleville that sold lots of Taylors. Used to pop in after a days fishing Ardens - looks like its still there and another store in trenton
  18. Own 2 Martins myself but I'm just a campfire strummer. Plan a trip into the city and go to Twelfth Fret. All the acoustics you can ever dream of are on the wall there. I played a Tanglewood a while back. Very nice guitar. Martin and Taylor's are top sellers in the mid to high end for a reason
  19. If you're referring to the Rustoleum NEVER WET product I used it on a pair of hunting pants a few years ago as an experiment. The pants were still waterproof but the outer fabric would get wet and then get really heavy. After spraying with the 2 part aerosol, the finish on the pants changed to be ever so tacky to touch but boy did they ever shed the water. Still use the pants the odd time and they are holding fast with the water dancing off the fabric. Maybe worth the try. Home Depot sells it too.
  20. Not a big expert on Okeechobee but I've done a fair bit of research on fishing opportunities in Florida over the years. I do know that you'll see a very heavy tournament schedule in November with multiple local events every weekend through the month. It's kind of like July up here. you can see those listed on FLBASSTOURNAMENTS.com and the marinas they run out of. I've fished bass a few times down there with a guide and yes you could "luck" into a 12 pounder but you're probably be a little disappointed. Even shiner fishing on Kissimee, my biggest was 5 lbs and big fish for that week was 7.5lbs. I'd trade all of my 3 bass fishing trips in florida for just 1 saltwater inshore trip In Fort Meyers, you're right on top of one of Florida's greatest inshore fisheries for snook, trout and just offshore around Sanibel there's tons of man made reef structure. Novembers a little late for a good redfish bite. Go get 1 Goliath grouper or a 6ft black tip shark and then talk to me about bass fishing. Estero bay just south of Fort Meyers is world famous Hands down don't ever pass up saltwater to go dunk some shiners for bass. Took me a few trips to realize that and if I'm going to spend money fishing it'll be saltwater every time This fish literally destroyed me. I mean down right pulled me around the boat like a rag doll. That smile lasted the whole day and then some!
  21. Same thing last night with me, dropping my son off. Guy all in dark clothing standing in the middle of the turn in lane in an industrial division with bad lighting. Saving grace is he stopped to light up a smoke in the middle of the laneway and I saw the lighter. Otherwise he was completely hidden in the shadow of the building
  22. Agree with Drifter, my house, boat and hunting packs are full of the Garrison 150 Lumen flashlight. They sell them under the Mastercraft label now and the POWER METAL model is on sale this week for $14.99 - great compact flashlight and very durable. I also have a couple of LED Lenser lights I bought from Lowes Hardware on sale. The PR14 at $70 is an awesome flashlight especially when it goes on sale for $40 (what I paid) 350 Lumen on 4 AA batteries. Lights up half the lake and you can focus the beam.
  23. If it's strictly trolling the the shimano tekota 300LC is about as good as it gets. The Okuma cold water reels are newer in the market and so far no issues that I hear about. A size 15 should work for your needs If you cast as we'll then Abu 5500 or 6500 come in line counters too
  24. As a follow up, MNR officer I heard discussing this at a hunting show said if your anchor is down then I'll be 100% sure your forward momentum is stopped
  25. don't know if you can actually ever see this printed in a formal regulation but this is how I and all my duck hunting buddies were taught and have since practiced From FAQ published by Government Canada site on Migratory Bird Hunting Question: While hunting from a boat, may I start shooting at waterfowl as soon as the engine has been turned off? Answer: No. Hunting may only commence once the motor has been turned off and the boat (any boat, canoe or yacht equipped with a motor) has stopped its forward progress. The only exception I ever ran across is there is a moderate allowance if you are drifting a river where the water speed is carrying you along.
