this is what happens when you rely on friends that smoke far too much herb lol...i totally believe you guys.

we tried to get a hold of bear point to get out there this weekend and they wouldnt reply to us.

Its the same company that makes their big power stroke...they simply created a v6 version of it...it might be ok Diesel engines arent going anywhere, nearly every single car in europe is diesel. North american mindset is to think we are the centre of the universe. Dont forget that not only is the diesel car/truck more efficient, the process to create the fuel is also more efficient than refining gasoline. Also i can agree that emission standards are tough, however an EGR bypass basically fixes any of the common diesel plug up issues that seem to be messing up these newer emission friendly diesels.

Short notice, and I have no idea are any of the operators on simcoe out on the laker grounds yet? And if so, any recos? i know guys are out there but it might be on a minimal amount of ice. hoping to go this sunday

Are you saying some idiots are throwing christmas trees in the lake to make "artifical" structure and then going back and trying to find them come winter time?

this is dope always wanted to try this out. Got out on Saturday -26...no hut...did two hours and my hands went completely numb and i could feel the tips of my fingers starting to get frostbite...got skunked and i called it. Rode the sled home going 35 and frostbit my face...ridiculous.

notice he broke a 15 game pointless streak immediately after...not surprising, he was fired up.

its taken me my entire life but i figured out a diet that works for me and keep me hovering in the 175-180 range while feeling great...the biggest challenge then simply becomes avoiding eating absolutely garbage all of the time. Its amazing if you just stick to the idea that from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon that you wont eat any garbage, drink any pop or beer etc and not eat complex carbs after lunch time...you are pretty much gonna shred weight. Dieting is rough on me because I have an absolutely huge appetite, so instead i just sub healthy low calorie stuff for the filler. Mainly in the form of lettuce in salad. I am also sure that it helps that I go on a crazy training regime to really turbo boost the weight loss...but maintaining is easy. Im headed to Japan in February, ive got 5 days of snowboarding and one of those will be alpine touring where I will be climbing 1000m on a split board and riding down back country mountains...aka im training hard My diet is simple but effective Protein shake in the morning, at 11 cheese bagel with turkey, light mayo mustard lettuce and pickles plus a big salad with tomatos and whatever dressing it doesnt need to even be heatlhy. Fills me up...hit the gym at 2, come back eat half a protein bar...then for dinner i literally eat whatever meat I want and salad, no bread, no rice, no carbs...I literally can eat as much salad as I want until i eat so much salad that im pretty much feeling like i could throw up lol. To drink? Water only and sometimes a coffee around 12pm. When you get a craving for something junky at like 9pm...i drink those 0 cal flavoured waters with stevia...they taste awesome and curb the cravings incredibly. My manager went on weight watchers last year...he wasnt really struggling at all and he lost 30lbs in a few months...that stuff really seems to work. He said he was never hungry either because he just ate a pile of low point or no point foods as snacks all the time. He threw in a few long walks per week and didnt cash in the points he gained back and absolutely shredded weight.

i dont think there is anything contradictory about what i said when i clearly said "kinda sobering" Translated: this has me re-thinking some of the decisions i make when i go out. I stand by the fact that I still dont believe its a good idea to go out in a bass boat or any other low gunnel boat on big open lakes like that. If you dont think this will have the FLW rejigging some of their policies, i would bet that you are wrong. Regardless lets not spark a huge debate about the FLW when theres a guy out there missing...that conversation can start once all of the details come in.

im hearing the opposite from some of the guys down there...although its all speculation. This is whats sad...theres a strong rumour that buddy decided to ditch the swamped boat and swim for it...temperatures were hovering just above zero this week on okeechobee. Rule on the FLW and almost any bass tourney is that a pfd must be worn while the engine is powered.

without giving too many details, you guys are still shore angling these snakes in the vicinity eh?

lol Matt's already proven hes a bandwagon jumper...i guess hes gonna hop back on the leafs train? even a tarp wouldnt keep his soft loyalty warm in winnipeg.

no one crashed into eachother...the boat got swamped...the owner survived. Theres a video in my link of the boat swamped up on shore.

hey i already told the boys...if it hits -25 im going. Yesterday was a toasty warm day compared to what they are predicting for tomorrow morning.

bit of scary and humbling news today out of Florida. A co-angler in the costa FLW series is missing after the boat they were fishing on got swamped. https://www.wptv.com/news/state/one-fisherman-found-another-missing-on-lake-okeechobee Not to spark up the debate about bass boats...but I have always said that those things are friggin stupid when fishing big open lakes. Id personally never buy one because how in the hell is a boat thats 1 foot off of the water ever going to stay afloat in a 6 foot chop. Really really scary and sad stuff.

Find the deepest flatest area of the lake and get on some crappies!

that last one is a fat Bstrd

great job guys, woulda been awesome to get out with you guys...i guess we will see what happens next year. gotta love a pic of a guy out in the winter, no hut, bare handing, with tear aways on....beast mode. Hoping to fish tomorrow but the forecast for the morning looks absolutely stupid...perhaps some of the coldest weather I have ever seen in PAB. Right now the forecast is -32c with 40kmh winds...calculated out thats -50c forget it...hut or anything thats just impossible to try get sleds to run and then get a pop up set up...Ill probably wait until the afternoon when the forecast greatly improves...Jesus you know its friggin cold when -25 with no wind is literally twice as warm as it was in the morning...insanity for Ontario. We didnt even fish in that garbage when i lived in Northern Manitoba.

thtas the other thing...IMO i think eating quinoa cold is not doing it justice....get that stuff hot with some roasted broccoli and some barbecued chicken with some tzaziki sauce....damn my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

i actually prefer quinoa over rice as crazy as it may sound...flavours are pretty close but i like the texture of quinoa a friggin lot. As mentioned its also way way better for you.

built a rink myself over the holidays...did the first pass when we had minimal snow by hand and she came out pretty good. Came back 3 days later and 6 inches of fresh snow had fallen on it, so out came the snowblower...put the level right down to scrape as close as possible to the ice, shoveled the remainder off with skates on and had my brother push up the banks from the outside. Then the cold came the ice got pretty brittle and was cracking up a lot so i spent 2 mornings in a row in -32 hauling pails of hot water down to the lake where i then took snow and packed it into the holes, poured hot water on them to make slush and then took a puck to it to smooth it out. it worked pretty well, was just grueling work on your hands and knees at -32. luckily my Kast steelheading gloves were up to the task and kept my hands warm and dry while the ice built up on them to the point that i looked like i had mr freeze hands. even at -19 everyone was out on the rink, at the least the wind stayed down which made it easy to stay warm. Whats some pond hockey without an accuracy shooting contest...my 63 year old mom beat me and my brothers who all play hockey after sniping 3 for 6. *note hitting the rubber on the bottom sorrels didnt count, had to hit material to make it realistic LOL!

the colour in this photo is really cool I just changed err up...built a dece rink over the holidays on the lake.

you better figure out how to get rich...and fast

all i know is that if your wife is booking vacations so that you can fish...youve got a keeper

I did an interview and was on CP24 and then my best friends girlfriend who works for CTV did a live hit and was on the CTV national news...im the guy with the sunglasses on in the video and of course, rocking the nautilus survival suit! lollll Dart guy was part of my 30 person group that headed down...nice guy. Took us 5 hours we made it in time for the first intermission and our tailgating plans got completed scrapped.
