This is true... bass would be the last thing I'd be fishing for as well, lol!

/waits for the roe mongers to come out of hiding.

I fell in love the first time I ever laid eyes on a Phazer as a kid!

I guess I should have clarified.. When I meant north, I was thinking more like 'Wawa' north.. You know those guys fishing in and around TBay rarely if ever take advantage of the smallmouth fishing up there.

No one fishes for bass up north, who are you kidding, lol!

So that's not how I'm supposed to fish for walleyes? Oh damn, lol.

The US has a lot longer of a growing season then we do up here. I don't think opening bass all year would be a good idea, but a week or two earlier then it is now most likely wouldn't hurt anything.

By the time the fourth Sat in June rolls around most of those fish have been off the beds for a while. I don't think losing a week will impact the fishery at all. Hell, how many guys out fishing for pike on the weed edges are constantly getting into bass, I know I am! No where near any beds.

This is much better then a thread about reeling in wet socks on the Bay of Quinte! /stirs pot.

Dude, this thread could be about which way to cook a steak, it really doesn't matter. I'll call anyone out who thinks they don't stink. We've fished together enough, you should expect that from me

I love the baitcaster, especially when the old guy at the 'Geen kicks everyone's ass with it, lol! I'm just saying you can enjoy what you fish and not try and one up everyone else who fishes something different. I guess people need to feel good about themselves, lol.

Toyota handed out almost 50 million dollars for an issue that was never an issue according to them. People died man, or are you ignoring that as well? You think that CHP officer was pressing the gas instead of the brake as him and his family barreled down the highway to their deaths? I'm not a Toyota hater at all, I just think the way they handled the entire issue is unbelievable. Oh BTW, is your truck in the current 7.4 million vehicle recall for the faulty window switches? I'm sure if people start lighting themselves on fire Toyota will tell everyone they must have been smoking in the car.

If you come off like that guy did, then I guess so. Although I don't think you would.

8 million recalled vehicles and 50 million in fines sound like innocence to you? :whistling:

We've got a hero here folks.

Tell that to the CHP officer and his family who are dead because their Lexus had unintended acceleration. Or perhaps one the Big 3 sabotaged their car?

My '05 Jetta TDI makes about 180whp/330ftlbs as it sits. Stock they are gutless, but they respond to mods extremely well. Even a stock PD ('04-'06) with just a tune (ECU upgrade) will gain around 40hp/70ftlbs.

I dunno about 2ft, but it's definitely up and looking a lot like a Tim Hortons dbl/dbl, lol!

Been driving a TDI for a long time. No car is perfect, but if you can put up with the quirks of a VW, it's well worth it if you're racking up a lot of kms... Mike and I drove to Hearst on less then 3/4's of a tank of diesel (55L capacity).. I like when fishing trips don't cost me hundreds in fuel costs. Plus I do all my own wrenching (TB's, clutches, whatever) which will really save you $$$ if you're a TDI owner.

We'll just leave the whole Toyota debacle behind us.. I agree, the 5.7 and 4L80E in your Sierra is bulletproof, love that truck.. Oldman has a '07 Duramax with the Allison tranny, doesn't complain regardless of what we hook up to her.. I still haven't found anything that's come close to lasting as long, or gets the mileage my TDI does. My last Jetta had 600,000kms on it before I retired it to pick up my '05 Jetta TDI Wagon which currently has 330,000kms on it. For a daily driver, it's the only thing I'd buy.

I don't know if I'd make my vehicle decisions based on the opinion of a magazine... Just saying..

Find me the article that states all those unintended acceleration issues were due to user error... I'll save you the hassle, you can't. But feel free to prove otherwise. You probably believe 9/11 was a government conspiracy as well eh? The tinfoil hat crowd is strong on this board.

Absolutely.. One of the most bulletproof drive trains on the market..

Luckily there are all kinds of those places in Ontario, we need more.

I wouldn't say all, but 99% of them... Should be good once the water levels get back to normal.
