  1. I'd like to see him in the blue and white when he's got a bunch of rookies to show the ropes to. That's where his value comes in.. At least in my opinion.
  2. I love the LT smelt for early season shallow water Lake O action!
  3. Even if it was sugar in the tank, the car would have started fine. Don't forget the system is already primed and ready to go. It would have started fine, then started to run badly a few mins later when the fuel filter got contaminated.
  4. I'd rather have the idiots who are txt'ing off the road rather then the drunk drivers.
  5. Look on Kijiji for used glass. The Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM is a killer walk around, day to day lens. Add to that a Canon EF 70-200 F4 L USM and you've got a lot of the range covered.
  6. I'd like to see those water temps a bit higher.
  7. I think someone might have slipped a little something into your rye Dave
  8. That one will be in the drink like the rest of them were last year (Or was it the year before, lol)
  9. Good glass definitely isn't cheap, but there are some examples (Like Canons EF 70-200 F4 L USM) which is a steal at $649. It's definitely an investment no matter which camp you choose.
  10. It's a long shot, but I'm looking for an antler chandelier! (Don't ask, lol!)

  11. Tow it that far a few times a year. During each gas stop I do a walk around, check the tires, etc..
  12. Yeah, water levels on Gbay have been pretty good. I'll be out that way for a week in July, can't wait!
  13. Browns like to eat them, I'd guess the muskie will as well
  14. I wish Canon didn't remove some of the cool features from the 70D when making the 7D mkii. I would have loved to keep the swivel/touch screen as well as the wifi. I definitely don't need GPS. Magnesium/weathersealed body is killer though.
  15. Right on, I don't pay much attention to the Garmin units.
  16. When getting into the DSLR game, what people really need to realize is that their investment should be in glass (lenses) not the bodies (Go figure I just upgraded to a 7D mk II, lol).. Bodies change, great lenses should be looked at as investments for the most part. You could have the greatest DSLR body, but put that behind a crappy lens and nothing is going to help.
  17. Water is going to be ice cold, I wouldn't worry about starting early.
  18. Really depends on what you want to spend and what you're going to use it for. DSLRs are an investment (Andbe prepared to spend more on the lenses themselves)
  19. Best mayor Toronto has had in a long time.
  20. I find the Cutco knife not flexible enough, at least compared to a 'normal' fillet knife.
  21. With the 'bird, your info is yours and yours alone. With the Helix/Onyx units, you make your custom maps right on the spot, no need to upload to computer to create. It's all done within the sonar itself. Pretty slick!
