If they kept it here and passed on their 'savings' to us, people would be complaining about the higher prices.

11 is definitely the easier haul. I just can't take the 500kms of straight flat road, drives me crazy.

Accidents happen, but apparently we've got a bunch of perfect parents in this thread.

Conspiracy theory aside, what are you so worried about?

If you wanna save fuel, you take the Sultan Rd and cut over an hour (and 100kms) off your trip.. You also miss most of the really hilly section out of the Sault on 17. Although it's interesting pulling a 5th wheel + boat.

11 ends in Nipigon, so you'd be traveling 17... 11 is a boring as death drive, I never take it.

Phil, got your package Thanks man!

I'm going to put one of those down on the riggers the next time I'm out in Lake O, lol!

Those DIY bedliner kits are not even close to as tough as the stuff you get sprayed on by a pro. Do it once, do it right.

Call a local tackle/bait shop.

Cost of doing business in the big city. It's like that for any delivery company.

There will always be people with money, no way you'll find waterfront realestate become 'cheap' anytime soon.

Where's my tinfoil hat?!?!??!

I like to bury the hooks into their brain.. Even float fishing... I'm glad I've got a softer Loomis IM6 that takes a bit out of my hookset.

Lake Ontario.

What was the depth of water it came out of? I wouldn't think the bladder would be expanded if it came out of shallow water. This usually only happens to fish that come out of the deep stuff.

I would have made a drift or two through that deep section with an indicator and a nymph.. Deadly when the fish are lethargic.

Resident fish, not a steelhead.

Naturals or stocked?

Yup, those were the days! You ever eat at Marks? I thought the place closed down when the 'new' 69 completely went around it.. Loved that place, used to stop all the time on the way to Manitouabing.

Jacksonville, Florida.. Sucks to be them!

You guys whine more then a bunch of teenage girls. (I've got no idea what we're talking about, lol!)

I fish everything on a WF floating line.. Big streamers, wets, dries, nymphing, you name it..

Tough, tough lake for muskie. Was out lastnight with the oldman, did well on pike (8 to the boat in about 2-3 hrs).. Tough to keep the damn smallies off though.. At least they are off the beds so I don't feel too bad about it.. we were catching the pike in 8-12ft off the deeper weedlines.. Rapala X-Raps were the ticket..
