you need a hat haha!

5'6? how many muskys you land on that pink barbie rod manitou?

for whacky rigging specifically id go medium because whackys typically arent fished right in the slop. Ive always fished them on right on the slop edges. all about application. if you are whack rigging on GB totally different story vs rice lake. Consider the lake you are fishing and if the rod would also have application elsewhere. Also consider the rod brand...ive felt MH's that felt like heavies and in higher end rods, mediums that feel like a cheap MH so its all dependant on brand and application.

I paid close attention to the actual thread and I am standing by my earlier sentiment. Buddy posted a picture of an OOS fish claiming he smashes em there every year and then encouraged his buddies to go do the same. Im glad that we are able to make an example of what happens when you are on the border of the rules. The communities eyes serve as a watchful guardian over our resources. guilty or not may this be a lesson to all of us here when you are standing on top of the fence as it relates to the rules.

the seals were indeed blown, but my father is extremely anal about greasing the bearings every single time he tows the trailer anywhere. Hence the bearings were still in great shape.

you sir, are not from the meme generation and your post confirms it. The internet and social media are interesting places...i can almost confirm that you dont have instagram or snapchat? GO LEAFS GO yaaaaa baby! woooo

an update to the situation as always murphys law and snaf u were totally in effect this past weekend. There I was, with all of the parts the right tools. The second wheel after a smooth installation of the first. Punching the race in with a race punch tool, whack whack crack and the piece of the hub shatters and goes flying off. More research, i figure i can simply replace the hub. I make a run and buy a hub, go to install...the nut wont fit on...this isnt right...oh look at that our hub is 4 inches when the old one is 3.5...a ``short hub`` as they call it. tow the boat home on a broken hub sketchy...its now in georgetown. i make some calls today...ya the hubs dont exist anymore...gotta replace the entire axle now. 1 week turnaround if you can bring the axle into them. So ya im renting a boat in alabama and my boat is now stuck in the gta...great. someone tell my old man, you dont try to fix whats not broken. We should have never tried replacing the bearings in the first place, they looked to be in great shape when we pulled the old ones out.

its DART GUY! GO LEAFS GO!

same lollll both FB and Twitter

its dart guy CBC holy crap at least get the reference correct. Funny enough a very good friend of mine knows dart guy ahah. The social media following is incredible, theres a huge sentiment of the leafs nation that have switched their social media profile pictures to dart guy.

This lol...although its not the case...cause Tjames has already been out with Pete and caught muskies

since when is there an off season when it comes to fishing?

jesus it seems guys are absolutely loving the lipless cranks...i might have to throw a couple of extras in the box! and holy crap 30 degrees is gonna feel hot as hell for us canadian boys. we were ice fishing only 3 weeks ago!

my tinner is a starcraft and I havent had any issues with the hull yet in 12 years. Thing is dry as a bone still and gets worked over hard every weekend.

hahaha the scramble is crazy, the days are flying by leading up to this trip and its stressing me the hell out. I guess thats what i get for organizing the trip, driving the truck and supplying the boat. My lucky friends get the benefit of sitting back letting me book the campground, fixing the trailer, getting the boat ready and taking them down to alabama to fish with me. Perhaps i prefer it this way because now I get to do whatever the heck i want lol.

There is a license section but you have to have a ticket to that area. I believe the tickets into the beer garden area are only provided to rogers/MLSE employees. The rest of the goons are stuck in the general caged area which is absolutely rammed. If you are gonna go, arrive 5 hours early otherwise you will be stuck standing back on york street trying to see the screen at the ACC. Its a fun atmosphere, but you gotta be up for it and keeping the positive vibes...a flask is probably a good idea. Also the sens not allowing a shot for over a third of the game but still losing is soooo funny

my father remembers the leafs winning the cup, but no one remembers ottawa.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in here. Grimsby I was able to identify the exact bearings and races I needed by providing my VIN to EZ loader via the phone in washington. I then went to princess auto last night and got the bearings... Side note I wanted to get a race and seal driver set, princess auto had one listed for 60 bucks. So after working with 3 guys to find the 60 dollar kit it turned out that their inventory was messed up and they had none in stock. The stockboy then suggested that he could take a look at the last sale price on the $120 kit just to see what he could do for me...i guess they had them on clearance because I got the 120 kit for 50 bucks! sweeeeeet. I tried everywhere to find a Hub that would match as this seemed like a logical option but I could guarantee fitment so i went with the bearing swap option. I will let you guys know how it goes on Friday!

the sens would rather have the seats remain empty then sell the tickets to real hockey fans that will boo the sens at home like they always do ahaha

this seems to be a common sentiment, and if the case thats exactly what I am going to do! Im going to princess auto tonight and I hope to buy two entire assemblies, I may even buy both bearing kits as well and then use the one that fits and return the rest!

my buddy has an underpowered 16 foot smokercraft with a 60 on it. the thing cant get on plane with 1 person on the boat, it just frigging bounces around and feels like you are getting into a car crash every time you hit a ripple of water. I hate the damn thing. Also the finishes are garbage, the carpet is wearing entirely off all over the place and the front deck is rotting out. Not a fan at all.

Hey Drifter, I looked through EZ loader's entire line of trailers and I at least found some info relating to the weight capacity and the size of trailer I know the approximate size of the trailer is 14-17foot as we measured the max length of boat it would haul. it appears that the axles on these trailers are all 2000 series? if the weight capacity is 2350 would that matter re:axle size? or is a 2000 a 2000. I also was able to confirm that they are all 5 bolt and I was able to get the bolt pattern so I am getting close! So what I know is that the max length is definitely 17, its definitely adjustable and I 100% know that its a spring and not torsion model. I also now have the VIN number, hopefully someone at EZ loader can give me a hand identifying what size hubs are on the trailer *fingers crossed*

why arent these baits made to be biodegradable? Seriously, its technically illegal to throw plastic in the lake, I am not sure why they have not taken these products the way of golf tees etc and just made them out of biodegradable plastic.

if only it was this simple. I am in a slight snag... The trailer is 300km away...i will be up there on friday, but of course nothing will be open. So that leaves me saturday to hopefully find a bearing in parry sound that will fit. if I cant find a bearing up there I am in big trouble as I need to be back in Toronto for work on Monday with the trailer...I leave for guntersville on thursday morning. I know so little about these bearings that i am praying that they will have one at parry sound canadian tire. What i am really going to press to do is identify the trailer model tonight looking at the ownership and serial number. Hopefully then i can get on the phone with EZ loader and identify the size of either the hub or the wheel bearing. i will then be able to get a hub or wheel bearing down in toronto and simply bring them up north with me. No one on here has a 93-95 ez loader single axle 16-17 foot trailer do they? I am guessing that they would all have the exact same wheel assemblies.

pointe au baril opened up yesterday afternoon. There is still bits of ice floating around but everywhere except tight back bays are 100% accessible now.
