I honestly think that cabellas and bass pro's websites suck so bad because of the customer base still doesnt demand a robust online shopping experience and furthermore they dont care to attempt to compete with tacklewarehouse in that regard. Cabellas and B pro are like walmart, theres nothing high quality there, its just the basics. Its always intrigued me how the customer size base in canada is still not large enough to have any group step forward and either A) Create a canadian tacklewarehouse or B ) set up a canadian distribution using the same platform. Im glad that Peterborough Pro Tackle has clearly invested some signficant capital into growing their online and retail business. They really seem to be taking off and I am happy about it because the days of Pro J being the only place to be able to buy higher end gear consistently are over. More options is never a bad thing (some others carried stuff but supply was and still is always so limited) Gagnons at least carries the gear, they just dont have the tackle. I got to admit, its frustrating staring at tacklewarehouse being fully stocked with everything you can imagine all of the time, meanwhile in canada its still to this day limited stock/limited colour choice, limited gear ratios whatever. Its through no fault of anyone except for the fact that the number of guys like me demanding this stuff in Canada is probably in the hundreds which pales in comparison to the industry in the united states both for bass fishing and offshore gear.

Shove plastic under the baseboard

I’m not surprised what so ever by someone doing this, what I’m most surprised about is that someone that bloody moronic and stupid has a good job that pays them enough to buy a new f150 the idea of driving on any lake south of Sudbury scares the hell out of me...the idea of driving on simcoe!!!! Last week!!! When most guys had called it a season the week before even for walking is absolutely mind blowing. heck we didn’t even take the sleds on the ice in parry sound this weekend

JBL charge 4 - I highly recommend it. Waterproof sounds amazing and can use its own bank to charge other items with its battery. Like your phone

Obviously not that my scenario is the rule because I have heard of plenty of people that dont know where they got it, but being 100% upfront and honest...the only people that I know that have gotten it are either A) working in a factory where it went through like wild fire (ok totally unavoidable) or B ) were going to the gym, had a family birthday party with 5 families converging in one house C) were the type that said and still say to this day "Covid is no big deal" and recently saw us at the grocery store and saw that we were wearing a cloth mask over our surgical mask and called us "paranoid" I dont think to many people who's entire households are working from home and abundantly cautious are catching it very often. I travel for work regularly and lets just say that not all regions are as compliant with safety measures as others...the irony is that the regions disobeying the rules the most are the ones that are now identified as target areas for vaccination. Not exactly how its fair that the guys that break the rules the most are the priority for vaccines while people with immediate health complications are forced to continue to wait...but I guess we need to at least make an attempt to fix stupid? I cannot friggin wait to get vaccinated and get this stupid thing over with.

Hey guys, looking for somewhere close by to put the boat in somewhere to get the new stuff dialed in for the upcoming season. thinking Hamilton harbour might be a good option but I do know that some of these places barricade the launches until “boating season” does anyone know if bay front park boat launch is open?

curious spiel, what are you using on your cork to get that look? Is it layers of U40 or something else? Im considering doing some layers on this rod to try get back the original feel a bit.

Got it patched up. took a belt sander to some wine corks and got a jar of dust. Mixed wood glue in and over two days layered it up. It took a few layers because the hole was so deep and the glue would inevitably shrink or want to run. I do wish the colour was more bang on, but I can’t complain considering how bad it was prior. the feel is pretty spot on after sanding. Definitely wouldn’t notice it while fishing. I hope the glue holds up to wet hands and rain

sounds like my 88 15horse You cant kill the damn thing. It runs even with its carb currently being screwed up from my old man leaving ethanol gas in it for 3 years. I know for a fact if i put a new carb on it it would run first pull no problem.

People are so cheap that they will risk theirs and their families lives to save the $30 parking cost. No joke

Oh haha this mouse deal happened last fall. The boats in the garage now. The rods are always in my rod locker but I had a crew of mice move into the boat and start terrorizing everything last October. The rods are pulled out because I’m installing panoptix and working in the rod locker. ive actually got two rod racks that I’ve been waiting to put in my “fishing room” in the basement but I’m still slowly clearing out my old man’s engineering papers that he’s collected in boxes over the past 50 years lol. The guys legitimately had 57 full sized file folder style boxes of paper in that room. I’m about half way done clearing them out. I fill up my truck every time I go north, it’s wild!

unfortunately the cats cant live outside in the boat lol. But ya I have a garage that I store my boat in now so we are good to go! A little too late though for a bunch of my gear. They also chewed the nobs off of three of my reels. Really really good stuff. I can say that one of them did pay for it with his life, but to me his life wasnt worth that rod and three reel handles.

Hey guys, well the mice last fall decided to get at the cork on my brand new $400 rod. So now I’ve got to figure out how to fix this hole read some stuff online about mixing cork dust/shavings with glue to fill in the hole. anyone done this before and have a glue recommendation for me? Spiel maybe has something to say about this?

Pain in the butt that the companies doing those flashes are being threatened with law suits now. I’m looking at the new odb2 flashes now available to get mine finally done. It’s long overdue.

Probably the only saving grace with my Eco diesel is that I have to be honest, towing my 18 foot glass skeeter with a 130 full of gear and 100 litres in jerry cans of gas etc etc im literally still getting 12mpg and depending on the drive that can dip into the 11's... Highway driving im consistently in the 9's and city its higher 10's. Ive towed a 26 foot glass cabin cruiser with it and it really didnt have any problem with it. It was heavy, and my mileage suffered but it handled it without issue. That weighs about 7000lbs so your boat will be quite all right. Now...for the bad, its a friggin dodge and what does that mean? Well it means that my windows are always de-railed (one nearly fell out on the highway recently) no matter how many times they have been fixed, I randomly have problems with the electronic shift control...that seemingly vanish. The entire EGR cooler system in my truck has been broken since I bought the truck in the summer of 2016. You can read my other posts about this but basically if I knew a lawyer id be suing FCA because after taking my truck to them literally 5 different times complaining about the exhaust dumping into the cab when I had my heat on and my truck eating coolant since new which progressively got worse and worse over time, I fell out of warranty and took it to a proper diesel mechanic who immediately told me my EGR cooler was cracked (and obviously has been since brand new) the diesel Dr's were the ones that ended up telling me that my EGR cooling system was actually under recall. Add this onto my turbo couplers blowing off multiple times randomly etc etc I forget the rest...long story short Dodge, you fooled me once, shame on you...youll never fool me again.

This, my 24 ultra AGM has as much as some 31’s I saw on the market!

My old man’s house actually has an entire separate panel for when they switch to generator power.

A man with an actual clue suddenly appears lol 😂

A million eh, sounds like my cost benefit and risk analysis indicate it’s worth a shot! *grabs cordless drill*

There’s a massive shortage, we struggle up here to get stock in the first place but even the Americans are complaining.

Went out today...was very tough to get the huts set up. Also gotta love when the hut starts levitating while you’re sitting in it lol

stay tuned on youtube for my "how to"

Yup there’s 0 chance that it’s open by may. By may the hope is that people 60+ will be vaccinated. That’s hardly enough to protect the general population.

If anyone here is reading this and thinking about options to do the same, message me. I’ve got a used terrova ipilot 80lb thrust that won’t work with a pedal but has a remote. im willing to sell it very very cheap because it doesn’t work with a foot pedal. I’ve just been dragging my feet getting photos to post it for sale.

Any of you animals go out there yesterday?
