  1. Chris the reason you saw them shovel a pile of bottles or a bail into the landfill is that the bail most likely got contaminated. In recycling, like anything the Recycling facilities do their best to try make their bails as pure as possible, i.e. a bail of HDPE, or LDPE, or a bail of Steel, or aluminum...typically these bails are kept above 96% purity. However if a bail comes off of the line and is a mess there are a few options, you can try find a processor to buy the bail at a heavy discount, you can throw the bail back through the system, or you can simply toss it in the trash. If the bail was heavily contaminated with something really bad, i.e. lets say a few gallons of used motor oil made its way into the bail then you basically are forced to throw it in the trash. Dependant on the MRF there are different efficiencies for sorting as well. Some private Recycling facilities such as the one that does a large part of peterborough actually throws out 15% of the reyclables no matter what simply because their sorters are crap, so whatever doesnt get picked off of the line literally gets tossed in the trash once its made its way through the facility. State of the art ones like the one Durham just opened say they reach up to 98% efficiency...which all things considered...in the early 80's kitchener was the only place recycling and the rest of the world was throwing basically everything but cans and steel into the trash. We are doing pretty good, and it will only get better with time. Certain countries in europe are literally going to 0 waste...i.e. even stuff thats hazardous will be collected and managed appropriately. So complain all you want about a small bag costing money, soon you wont even get that, its just a matter of time.
  2. a good knot...but the uni is 1000x easier to tie and does fail so why mess with it.
  3. thanks for posting this chris. I got a sense of how bad the bugs were by watching those bloody videos and hearing the terrible mosquito wines that drive me nuts some nights. Monster fish indeed.
  4. the only knot i tie for attaching line together is a double uni. I basically exclusively fish 20 lb flurocarbon because fishing on georgian bay I cannot afford to lose my lure every 4 fish because there are far too many 5-10lb pike that like my bass baits. dunno if the bass seem to mind the heavier leader...all you compromise is a little bit of feel. I have yet to have a double uni fail yet...and it seems to go through guides pretty seamlessly if you trim your tags close.
  5. yamamoto also makes something very very similar as well. In all sizes right down to a 1.5 incher...killed crappies on em with the drop shot
  6. won my first tournament...small family tournament on the tri lakes buckhorn, pigeon and chemong...we won biggest fish and total weight. gun was a at 5, weigh in at 12. small pay day and a free steak dinner more details in a soon to be coming report Will be fishing Pointe Au Baril for opener on Saturday...probably do at least 8 hours hammering shallow smallies! best time of the year.
  7. saw these pics on your insta, well done man, ahaha that laker beat my nephews first fish a 4 inch perch ahaha
  8. a member here that shall remain nameless has shown me some of his $200+ lures...they are incredible. Thank god they are tied on with 100lb braid lol! Theres no better feeling than back casting a $10 fly into a tree and watching it hang there while there is nothing that you can do lol
  9. not even close...some of these custom musky jakes are hundreds of dollars. I wish more JDM tackle came up second hand, but everything that does seems to just be posted for slightly less than the OEM price.
  10. I work in the industry and will tell you outright, the reason garbage is getting so expensive is that they are forcing your hand to recycle. The large majority of packaging and printed paper materials are recyclable, and your food waste is entirely compostable. The idea is that it is to encourage you to recycle, not throw trash into a ditch...Because if you are that type of person it doesnt matter if the bag of garbage costs 20 or 100 dollars to dispose of, you are still going to throw it in the ditch. Recycling is always free because the material has value. Municipalities are maximizing the amount of recyclables that they can collect because they can then in turn bail it and sell it.
  11. hahahha oh man i love watching ottawa squirm because phaneuf wont waive his NTC ahahhaa They are gonna lose Ceci or Methott, hilarious. Stuck paying him 7 mill a year ahaha NOTTAWA!!!! all of the ottawa fans are trying to say that they should trade him to a good team...lol no one wants him!
  12. hoping it stays below 75 for this weekend! is that mid lake or in a bay?
  13. Jeremy, you could easily knock 2 of those off in a less than 2 hour drive...in fact one you could do after work today lol. Just gotta do some research. For me FIshing Tiger musky Big Trout on the fly 10lb + pike on the fly 7lb bass...yes i still havent gotten one over 5 incredibly...been within 2 ounces multiple times lol Land a tarpon...ive hooked into 2 and both made me submit to the king Life Own my own true fishing boat Live on a lake Ive been pretty blessed otherwise
  14. bought a napoleon...havent been extremely impressed with it...my brothers broil king is fairing much better than mine. I do like the grills on the napoleon much better though.
  15. barometric pressure simply affects the weather...if you try fish during a the tail end of low pressure or immediately after, the fishing is typically slow. if you fish before a big change, or during consistent high pressure i find the fishing to be better. Dont know if I have cared much for moon phases, because if i get the opportunity to fish Im gonna fish it... Weather on the other hand...can sometimes put a "damp"-er on things...it doesnt mean Im not gonna fish it...it just means I should know what to expect while I am out on the water.
  16. this is how you write a report...well done man. and friggin gorgeous boat...im jealous.
  17. got a mini tourney happening on opener...was wondering how this heat wave is effecting the water temps on buckhorn pigeon and chemong. Any of you bys been out there? Jimmer? Im sure you were in the vessel this weekend?
  18. thats a kawarthas giant well done! gonna take some casts to beat that one for sure.

  20. great slabs...hilarious that you posted them tilted left, and then tilted right ahahhaa
  21. good to see another lady killin it in the game. welcome
  22. I once caught a baitcast combo...the combination of my own and the baitcasters drag system plus the branches snagged to the caster combo made it seem like the fish was making runs! What an epic fight. my brother also legitmately caught a rubber boot. I couldnt believe my eyes
