AKRISONER

see now y'all got me thinking about the cracked epoxy on a guide on one of my loomis rods.

lol leafs twitter already saying they should fire babcock and hire quenville SMDH Is Montreal the only other hockey market this is this insufferable? ahaha Leafs sit 5th overall 2nd in the east and have improved every year under babcock including setting a franchise record for points last year and this year got off to one of the hottest starts in their entire history...but ya the coach sucks cause he plays nikita zaitsev over martin marincin

water temps? our bass fishery is almost toast for the year water temps down to 43 this weekend. crazy enough weve found some resident bass where we pickerel fish, but all of my typical main lake stuff is dead as a door nail they are done for the year. Ive been reading a few articles about bass in the fall and winter and how very very specific areas become the wintering holes and on some lakes you literally will find the entire population of bass in one spot. Sounds like you found where the bass are posting up for the winter. Even more interesting the article said that if you move these bass off of their winter holes for a tournament or whatever, they basically have a higher than 50% mortality rate because they cant get back on their own again and dont have the energy to survive the winter. Crazy!

what i find kind of embarrasing is that...ok i get it, they are human, but laughing about not caring when you make millions of dollars a year playing friggin hockey is a joke. Although that just goes to show how the coaching is failing its job. Babcock makes it very very clear, if you want to play hockey for him its a privilege, and a job, you put your boots on and get to work. Thats exactly why i think you see a lot of guys not play even though you may hear the leafs twitterverse up in arms about certain guys not playing. We have no insight into their professionalism off of the ice or in the room. Want a crazy example of this? look how nazem kadri turned his career around under babcock. Theres a difference between being critical of your coaching staff and literally mocking it.

Ottawa players caught mocking coaches and own penalty killing abilities. Also admitting to not listening and paying attention in practice https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators/candid-camera-ottawa-senators-players-caught-on-video-joking-about-team-badmouthing-coach/wcm/d1b7eeb8-9d42-4e4a-ba22-9ae2e2ea5d66

killer offer i hope you ended up catching due to the good karma

this was a big discussion on the bass boat central forums and multiple actual mechanics came forward to say that owners of outboards that did not fog the engines had brought in blown motors that died due to corrosion in the fuel and ignition systems. For the $8 cost of foggin spray and the $30 for some new plugs come spring...bring it on. Im gonna baby my 98 yamaha until its dying breath...Ethanol free gas, periodic seafoam, full winterization, high end oil and plugs...lets see how long she goes. Shes been babied her whole life and will continue to be, if it means that my motor still turns over at below 0 with ease 20 years on with minimal smoke, im gonna keeo doing what im doing.

man...the finish on those rods got me like looks tighter than my damn winston 5wt too friggin clean

remember guys up until 2 games ago johnny was splitting time with our other number 1 franchise centre...hes still in the top 20 in scoring in the entire league, and you can guarantee a lot of those 20 will cool off as the season grinds on and i have 100% faith that johnny will keep scoring at the same rate he has his entire career, and hes on a good team is its pretty safe to assume he will score 75+ points this year.

awesome tips, i like the plumbing antifreeze down the floor idea too just to incase theres a tiny pocket of moisture in the floor somewhere.

whats everyones take on emptying and then cracking open your storage compartments? Im a little concerned that leaving them open just invites vermin in to make a house...but then at the same time...wide open maybe does make sense?

big ol head on that thing...nice

can we all agree, fishing for anything is better than working? if i had to choose between fishing rock bass and working...i know what im picking Thread closed lol

I have no time for an idiot like that guy that purposely tries to injure other players by giving them traumatic brain injuries. I wish you would have suggest a guy like big buff. Or even better although he just retired, jerome iginla Did tough guys save Paul Kariya, Eric Lindros, Bobby Orr, Sidney Crosby from either having career ending or close there to it injuries from dirty hits? Nope not even close...Its a common thing to run good players with a goon or not it doesnt deter anyone. How do you think a rat like brad marchand has survived so long in the league, hes played against plenty of teams over his career with plenty of big tough guys, it hasnt stopped him from being a dirt bag for a second. I dont want anyone to think that I dont like hitting and hockey fights...who doesnt, I just totally disagree with the argument that a goon that cant skate or score wins hockey games. If you have a guy that can do both...now you are talking. Big powerful guys with skill and D men that can get the puck out of your zone win hockey games. Being an idiot and taking penalties/punching people in staged fights doesn't do a thing.

lol not quite yet, got some walleyes to catch for the next few weeks. But it may be time to at least start the work of doing the leg oil and getting everything else in order so that I can get it put away before our first big snowsquall event up there.

well..its that time of year. After some unforseen circumstances with my intended location of storing, I am stuck (although somewhat willingly because i can get my boat out of storage in march now to go fishing in the south carolina) using a navigloo to put the baby away for winter. I am also probably going to take some extra care and wrap the baby up in extra tarps around the trailer, jack up the trailer onto blocks to keep it off of the ground etc etc. Its my first time winterizing a boat! Bass Boat Central has a great guide on winterizing your boat. found here http://www.bassboatcentral.com/winterizing.htm Ive got the fogging oil, the lower end oil, the marine fuel stabilizer, the premium ethanol free gas to top the tanks up, the marine oil to top that tank up as well. Im ready to pull all of the batteries out and store them on wood somewhere warm, and ive got some plumbing antifreeze to dump down the livewell drains and pumps. One common theme of concern though that I keep coming across is moisture and mice. the last thing i need is some damn vermin chewing through my fibreglass. Does anyone have any tips for keeping the moisture and mice out? I have heard of "buckets of moisture manager" being placed inside the boat...what products are you using? Ive also heard of using mothballs to keep mice away...but is it effective? Anyone have any tips?

ridiculous deal for someone thats looking to get off of the shore and fish...throw an electric trolling motor on it and youve just changed your entire fishing game.

this guy scores less than i did with the ladies in college and highschool...and thats sad

as is always when im in a boat, because i fish a lot, I am always involved in the decision making process. On my uncles boat it was just the same, i made as many decisions as I wanted to make. When im trolling laketrout on Georgian bay with my old man i make 95% of the decisions. Im not hating on it, dont get me wrong its a good time, but to me it still pales in comparison. There were days in the charlottes where you couldnt get the riggers down through the coho to get at the springs, its good fun absolutely, but when you eliminate casting and feeling a bite, a lot of fishing is lost to me. Ever caught a 4+lb big lake smallmouth on a walk the dog lure? Not a heck of a lot beats that. I am not hating on salmon either they are insane. Best fight ive ever had was hooking salmon nymphing with a 5 wt in the credit. I literally had to run after the fish to stop it from spooling me. Ever felt a 40+ inch musky hit your swimbait boatside? Not much compares to that.

theres nothing tough about ryan ellis and PK subban, or drew doughty for that matter. Funny you keep referencing guys from non playoff teams...coincidence, i think not. The Playoffs dont matter if you dont get there in the first place. I think you are confusing toughness with quality defense lol Tough forwards that dont score dont win hockey games. D men that are slow that cant win puck battles or get the puck out of their zone like nikita zaitsev or make terrible decisions and have terrible giveways like jake gardiner, or are just too damn slow to keep up in todays nhl like Ron Hainsey are the issue.

kassian as of this week got cut from the oilers and has been provided an open door to find himself a team that he can be traded too... Lmao your second best example is Lucic...if you like watching that bum attempt to stand up on his skates then you and I will never see eye to eye lmao. (im an oilers fan) The only reason Lucic is even in the NHL is because the oilers have to justify how much money they are blowing on his salary every season for a sub 4th liner...the guy wouldnt be in the NHL if the oilers werent dumb enough to pay him. Also...youd rather toronto play like edmonton? so finish with 20 pts out of the playoffs? Well it was worth it because they got in more fights than the leafs. taking penalties and sucking at hockey, now that entertainment. Imagine the oilers didnt get gifted with Mcdavid, where would they be?

hopefully he doesnt...more for me lol

fished what is arguably the best salmon fishery in the world in the queen charlotte islands, caught a ridiculous amount of cohos, springs and even some halibut, sharks and rock fish to boot...give me topwater smallmouth fishing any day. dont get me wrong, its fun...but trolling is still the most boring form of fishing...i guess it might be better than jigging walleye lol

with a comment like that, i hope you fish musky...also...largemouth go 20+ lbs so they actually get heavier than walleye lol. Our climate in Ontario just doesnt allow it. i get it...guys like fishing salmon, but trolling is probably the crappiest form of fishing around. Yes, ill be the first to admit swinging a salmon on the fly in a river is top notch fishing, but you arent gonna have many 50 fish days doing that either. I will make one comment about the MEME I never have had a day where I anchored and didnt switch baits and caught 50 bass...ive done it walleye fishing though.

those days are long dead...name teams with enforcers...go...
