That's just awful news Cliff. Very sorry to hear that, my condolences.

Well ain't that a bummer....

Update: http://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/body-pulled-from-water-in-search-for-missing-gta-boaters-on-sturgeon-lake-1.3614609 One body found. RIP. Not wearing that PFD turned out to be a costly mistake. Very unfortunate for those left behind.

If they're lifted from the video and Mike owns the copyright he can probably demand the site remove the images.

This is two weeks old, is it still closed today??

That sounds like a good guess to me.

There's a boat pointing the wrong way?

I picked up a Daiwa Procyon 2500 from Canadian Tire on clearance for $75.00 (regular $150). Can't speak to the longevity but it is definitely the smoothest reel I've ever used. I bought a cool stand so I won't have to lay it on the pier like my usual shore fishing rods. The Daiwa Revros on clearance for $49.99 at CT is a good deal too. It's no Stradic, but you won't find a smoother reel for $50.00.

Huh, I'll have to keep that in mind next time. Don't get me wrong, the "parade" had lots of good scenery. Just made for my own personal wakestock. I'm not done yet, if this weather holds I'll be able to get out a few more times I hope. Then it's back in the boat for the rest of fall.

This looked like a parade for a little while!

I got out to a Kawartha lake on Saturday. I typically don't go out in scorching weather but I wanted to get out in the kayak more before the year is out. My gf rented a kayak so she could join in. I marked lots of fish suspending over deep water, but I couldn't get many to bite. On the lake I was on the deep water is mostly the nav channel so I got lots of practice dealing with big wakes. That probably didn't help the fishing. I did manage a few smallies and found a shady spot for a lunch Siesta. All in all a great day. Here's a few pics: Picking up the rental: Smallie Lunch spot

When you get back home I'm in your neighborhood and always love me some indica treats ?

Now that's dedication! Nice fish, congrats!

LOL!

Any adult size PFD should fit over if you try it on in advance and adjust the straps.

The CO told me if you can't put it on, then it's not the right size for you, which means you don't have a PFD on board. My Mustang isn't camo so I don't care. We were just chatting and he mentioned it.

Whichever approval body is currently in favor, just forwarding what the CO said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have a Mustang one piece but based on this thread I think my next one will be a two piece.

I was told by a CO that a Coast Guard approved PFD cannot be camo and that's why there aren't as many. This wouldn't be true for Arctic Armour suits since they're not Coast Guard approved though. If you used a camo Arctic Armour in the boat, you would need a supplementary PFD to be legal. On top of that, the PFD MUST be pre-adjusted to fit over your suit. If you can't put it on when challenged by a CO, that's an offense.

That's an insanely huge fish to me. Congrats! My PB musky (while fishing walleye I don't target them) was a fat 42 incher, and I thought that fish was hard to handle. Need Hulk mode for your fish!

Imo, old school caps look bad on new trucks, even if painted. It's a style thing, it just doesn't look right. If these are 2014 or newer caps destined for the style of my truck for $200 (or even $1200) I'd be all over that of course. When my truck is ten years old I'm sure I'll be less concerned about style too.

I just can't bring myself to put a $200 cap on a $45K truck ? I did find a lightly used one for about 1500 so giving that some thought. That still a lot of coin it would be any easy choice if I didn't already have the tonneau.

I'm not claustrophobic, but I'm still not sleeping under my tonneau!

That looks like the perfect setup, Lew. Sadly I'm in an apartment in the city so no room to have both (I already keep my kayak in my living room!)

Mine fit, but barely and with some convincing!

I like the windows so I can get fresh air while sleeping. You could always tint them even darker.
