  1. lol this law may get the old man the up and go to get his hunting license once again. Hes always dreamt of heading out to one of the millions of rocks that these greasy buggers congregate on and just peppering em with pellets. He thinks he could hit 6 birds with one shot lol. Honest question though, what the hell do you do with the damn carcasses. No one is gonna wanna eat those dirty fish birds.
  2. jebus armpit...you trying to make us all feel bad? lol unreal
  3. literal record cold today, the coldest november 22 for much of the province. -22 at the lake...i have plans but id be ice fishing saturday if I wasnt tied up.
  4. im gonna make some of these to work in conjunction with my plano box i will let you guys know how it goes. the plano box has sucked so far but if these bands keep the line spooled better it might be a winner.
  5. you also didnt have hip-hop that needs two 12 inch subs requiring a 4 farad capacitor and 500 watts of power to rattle the trunk but also keep your headlights on when the bass hits lol. ahhh to be 19 again ahaha
  6. dont do it...its somewhat ruined fishing for me forever more lol. Hooked a 20lb "baby juvenile" lol in 4 FOW on spinning gear...imagine the power of a musky while fighting like smallmouth. 9 foot leaps out of the water...good luck finding a comparable fight. I wanna get one on the fly the next time im down south. Never landed either of mine that i hooked into either, after 5 incredible leaps they both spit the hook. I didnt "bow to the king" quick enough.
  7. like any new tech, you gotta pay to play The concept isnt that far fetched when you think about it...you take a flasher, and then you take side/down imaging...what do you get a live 3d hybrid of them. The tough part is figuring out how in the hell to do it. Guarantee that Humminbird and Lowrance are scrambling to figure out how in the hell they are doing it. or at minimum, figuring out a cost effective manner of developing the technology. Right now at least while the tech is still very very high priced, Lowrance and Bird are staying with their bread and butter...although to be honest Lowrance IMO is in big trouble, they arent even close to competing on price point at the moment with Humminbird. The only reason i can see people are still using Lowrance is because its what the old guys have always used and their mapping is slightly better. But is that enough to justify their high price point...IMO not a chance. The Helix units out now deliver better imaging, autochart live and support for navionics, at a stupid low price and if you are talking to the average fisherman, and folks that dont ride in 6 figure offshore and bass boats, the "network" capabilities of the HDS units arent a selling point. Every younge person that i personally know that has recently purchased a graph has bought a helix. The reason is simple, its cheap, has great imaging, and navionics does the job just fine. Talk to the pros...their next unit is going to be a garmin because they can afford to pay to play.
  8. not surprisingly, many serial killers and psychopathic murderers start their career by torturing animals. laughing at an animal that is hurt is some seriously disturbing stuff...especially an animal like a coyote that resembles/is a dog...
  9. someone do this guy a solid and get him one...that one is easily achieved. For me, 50+ inch Georgian bay musky Tarpon on the fly A 5+ lb largie out of Lake Marion A Georgian Bay lake trout through the ice. (really tough to do because ice only happens a couple times a decade)
  10. i agree...a decade ago it mattered, just like in 1984 youd probably want different players playing than in 1994. Funny, but I think a guy like Ennis playing on the fourth line last night made more of an impact than a Matt Martin fight with a nobody on columbus could have ever made.
  11. I am hoping to god that you arent refering to Lucic, the guy cant even skate never mind play at an NHL level lol
  12. Lol I see Tkachuk takes right after his father except I have to say he does it in a much more clean manner, his dad would have just elbowed mcdavid in the head. Its funny that he turtled when kassian went at him haha Just a total pest. So much like Kadri ahahaha just causing all sorts of stuff and then diving and turtling when the other team takes a shot at him ahaha The kind of guy that you absolutely despise, but if hes on your team you love it. Darcy Tucker made a career out of it. I think this is the kind of hockey Chris likes to watch, and i agree with him, intensity...but look, your good players can get in the mix, you dont need a useless plug out there just to fight. Draisaitl was in the mix in nearly every single scrum, plus he laid that absolutely monster hit. Tkchuk can play, and mix it up. Thats why one of my all time favourite players is jarome Iginla, dude was absolutely tough as nails, strong as a bull, could score like a machine and was one of the best human beings to ever play the game, his charitable work is next level and hes an all around family man. You gotta love him. Total Horse turd that the refs jumped in on that Nurse fight, you can easily read his lips F of! Let us f in go let us f in go
  13. Update! Picked up the Fuses from payne Marine on saturday, and it was as easy as could be, took the cowel off and there were two blatant fuse holders labeled 20 amp and 30 amp right there in the open. Opened up the 20 it looked fine, opened the 30 and it was smoked...the Glue that holds the glass to the metal end was melted, had to use a pair of needle nose to pull what was left of the fuse out of the holder...everything went perfectly. got the navigloo set up and shes ready for winter. Unfortunately a little bit of snow got on the floor of the boat, but the navigloo isnt air tight so hopefully it will dry out over the course of the winter when it gets really cold. Threw in a whole package of moth balls all over the boat, that IQ challenged is gonna stink come spring lol
  14. Was in PAB this weekend, saturday wasnt warm, but it wasnt miserable as it has been most of the fall, winds were light and the sun even came out...Then the weather flipped the temperature dropped and the boys woke up in the dark to go catch some more walleye sunday morning, walked down to the dock...the entire lake was frozen over. We then spent the next hour bustin ice to get it out and then the snow came and we put the other boat away and took the dock out in a total whiteout. Theres over a foot of snow on the ground and the lake is frozen...i wouldnt exactly call it fall anymore.
  15. Its a known fact, teams come in to toronto and amp up their game because half of the team is from the GTA. Ive always said, although I absolutely love the hockey night in Canada game, it is the absolutely worst thing for the Toronto Maple leafs. You have a bunch of canadian guys that play in florida, texas, california, missouri where no one even goes to their games, then they get a game saturday night in Toronto, hockey night in canada the whole country is watching and the guys are back home in the GTA with their families watching live in the stands, its the worst thing that can happen to the leafs. Such is life. Good news in all of this, Matthews shouldnt feel rushed to come back...although you want him playing, and you know he wants to be playing, they can make sure hes basically 100% before he hits the ice again and thats good.
  16. I think the concensus amognst his teammates and himself is that he actually played better because of it. In an interview with him he even admits that once he saw that the sharks were upset he went after it even harder because he knew he was in their head. Any time you have Joe Thorton worried about your third second line centre and not scoring...thats a win Also just to totally debunk your theory about "keeping guys honest" Tom Wilson the "deterrent" is back and guess what TJ Oshie takes a head check and is now out with a concussion.
  17. dont tempt me! Sonoco 360? interesting, its now just called Ultra 94 and since Petro Bought them out its available now at limited petro stations. The one in georgetown south has it, i used to fill up the old mazdaspeed with the stuff, highest octane gas available without buying straight jet fuel that the boys at cayuga run. ive heard some guys have 110 octane gas there.
  18. Serious question, was this the shortest boating season in southern ontario...maybe ever? or at least in the last what 40 years? Remember how cold it was this spring? We actually didnt have ice out in Pointe Au Baril until the 3rd of May, it was the first time ever in my time that the lake wasnt opened up for pike opener. Jeez i remember working on the boat in the middle of April in Georgetown and it was -12! Ive got a photo on my phone, April 29th, theres still snow on the ground and ice on the lake. Pointe Au Baril Harbour froze up on Monday night...Maybe some of the legends around here can speak to what it was like back in the 70s and 80's but the 90's and 2000's were never this cold this early and late I can assure you of that...damn in the 2000's we had a couple of winters that just didnt happen at all!
  19. absolutely not, especially without AM and Nylander you need offensive presence like marleau there. kaps first goal doesnt happen without marleau. Whats martin going to do, protect kadri? The last thing you want is a guy like Matt Martin on the bloody ice when Joe Thornton is out there, that match up wouldnt happen all night anyways, and if it did its a mistake, and trust me theres nothing matt martin is going to do to Joe Thornton. Meier, seems like kadri did just fine handling his own...In fact, it probably made Kadri play even better, thats usually how it is when he gets to be intense and engaged. Its no different than when anyone plays hockey, if you get into a 1 on 1 war with someone, your game intensifies. No one got injured, they battled hard and won the game as you should. Kadri even said it after the game, he was the one engaging them because he knew he could throw them off their game and it worked.
  20. absolutely smokin deal for someone with a tinner that wants a bow mount, throw a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood in the front and youve got yourself a fishing machine
  21. Hey Iron...i dont think esso has an ethanol free gas...Even their premium has 10% ethanol. It bugs me because they offer PC points on their gas rather than to the totally useless airmiles that shell offers. Shell V power 91 is ethanol free and Canadian Tire Premium is as well. Always safe bets And yes he takes after his dad, a depression era Ukranian farmer from Alberta, same goes for my grandma, her mom (my great grandma) was 13 years old and the spanish flu wiped out her entire family so she hopped on a boat from poland by herself (can you believe that!) opened up a corner store in rural alberta.
  22. that looks like some absolutely killer salmon bait
  23. Hey Iron, do me a favour and have a chat with my old man would ya? Hes got enough dough, but still has his damn dad's farmer mentality... For a chuckle to explain the pure insanity that i deal with every day...He bought himself a brand new audi SUV...go ahead figure out the price tag...he then spent the time to calculate out exactly the cost difference of regular vs mid grade gas over the life of the vehicle due to the improved fuel economy of his new vehicle vs the last... because he can no longer put regular gas in his turbo charged car...The however much...$1,000? difference in cost over the course of 10 years? you gotta fill the damn thing up anyways! Last week at the cottage he also gave me a hard time because i brushed my teeth while I shower and apparently the cost of the hot water it took for me to brush my teeth is too high for him to afford lmao, this is a guy speaking inside his georgian bay lakefront cottage...Good times...good times? Heres the dope straight up, you can maybe get away with using ethanol gas in four strokes, but do not/never use it in an engine where the stuff has any time to sit and collect moisture. So yes, you can probably use it in your boat if you are like me and go boating every weekend, but if not, stay the hell away, the extra 10 cents per litre over the course of the life of a motor vs the cost of straight up replacing a 10-20 thousand dollar motor? pretty easy math to me. Outright, 2 strokes and ethanol dont work..dont do it, its been proven over and over that ethanol gas is a total nightmare for 2 stroke engines...just dont do it. The day that i take over operations up at the lake, its gonna be a ethanol free environment and the oil changes will be done and the carburators will be fogged, and the plugs will be changed every year. Simple low cost maintence that pretty much guarantees your stuff will run forever.
  24. lmao im just here cause the inuendo is dang killing me. A quick check on the conservation status of the fish you are talking about would explain why its most likely totally outlawed for commercial fishing...the fish is listed as a species vulnerable to global extinction. with populations collapsing in all areas that it is found. Alewife predation, sea lamprey and pollution "smoked" the whole population. Hopefully with the total collapse of the alewife and sea lamprey population in Huron the species can make a come back. Although, if you fish parry sound for lakers...they are munchin on alewife still so i dont know how well it holds up.
  25. ya...even if they are already there, i would be using them and need more A great outcome for me, Payne Marine in Pointe Au Baril was able to get the parts for me direct from Yamaha and they got shipped in one day! I will update everyone saturday once I take a look! Pray for good mojo! If the problem seems bigger, gonna bust out the multimeter and watch some youtube videos lol Thats how i do most things these days ahahha.
