  1. Brandon those pics are absolutely amazing!!! I'm about to pick up a 70-200 f/4L for some landscape and wildlife shots!! Hopefully they are half as good as the pics you take
  2. I've had great luck with Princess Auto specials, lol. I also don't feel bad when I drop them in the lake Cheap to replace.
  3. Better to cut the hook then digging it out of a fishes face. Hooks are cheap.
  4. Sunroof drains get clogged and you end up with a nice puddle on the rear floors or the passenger floor The rust on his fender are caused by foam inserts that are under the wheel well liner that are used to deaden sound. Unfortunately stuff gets behind them, they rub against the metal and the paint ends up bubbling. It's not rust per say, as the fenders are still extremely solid, they just look like crap
  5. 2-3 ounces per full tank is good.
  6. :eek: Gas isn't a very good lubricant, how many miles did the wife drive before the car ended up dead? The problem with the IP and the injectors is that if they have been scored because of a lack of lube, you won't realize it until 10-20k down the road. And for the amount they charged you, I doubt they did a very thorough inspection of the pump or the injectors.. They probably just hooked it up to the computer and checked the flowrate of the #3 injector (The one with the wiring harness on it).. The good thing about the engine in your car is that it's a workhorse and *should* be ok... From time to time when you get home, pop the hood and put your hand on the injection pump.. You should be able to rest your hand on it even after a long highway run.. It will be hot, but not searing hot... That's a good indication if the pump is on it's way out... Some added protection would be to run some PowerService in each tank, or even better 2stroke premix oil... If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
  7. What year Jetta was it? I know my way around these cars quite a bit and can give you a heads up on what you should look out for in the future because of it.. It's to bad you didn't pump the entire tank full of gas, at least the car would have died 1-2 miles down the road with minimal if any damage.. When it's got enough diesel to run, it can make a mess of some very expensive parts...
  8. A buddy of mine throws candy when it's called for and he does extremely well doing it. I don't even bother to compare numbers at the end of the day. Luckily for me he does it in my presence also so I get to benefit for it. It's a combination of things really, but if the conditions call for it, it works...
  9. So I'm guessing browns for the first two pics?
  10. Cast the estuary water (slow frogwater river mouths) with J13's, spoons etc.. If you want to float fish, giant chunks of skein on big single or even treble hooks (Trebles work great for keeping the skein on)... If the fish are on, you'll get bit using both methods.. If they aren't, you won't catch much of anything...
  11. The fish has a choice to eat my J13, it doesn't have a choice when it swims by and gets caught up in your 30 meters of mono
  12. Huh? I don't have an issue with fishing the river. If I want to catch chinnies, I'll toss J13's or float big hunks of skein in the frog water (Which I've been very successfull this year at doing FYI) Keep telling yourself it's not unethical to float marshmellows above a 3 way rig with 30 meters of line strung across the river. And you are comparing this with casting or floatfishing? LOL!!!!! I'm happy most of you guys are gone once the bad weather gets here so I can steelhead fish in peace..
  13. lol!!! I see we share the same amount of stubbornness
  14. Who said anything about the summer? If you say the Gbay chinook fishery is dead, then I guess it must be. I'll keep on wasting my time.
  15. I'm not talking Owen Sound, but by all means keep fishing Lake O, the less pressure up here the better
  16. You should start fishing different places.
  17. Go to any pier this time of year, that's exactly how people floss fish It's not the marshmellow that gets them initially, it's the 30 meters or so of line you've got strung across the river they run into.
  18. Guys who use marshmellows are usually flossing fish, whether they are doing it intentionally or not.. Chinooks also don't 'suck in' giant chunks of skein, because for the most part the skein is fished vertically under a float, a marshmellow not so much... Also, when people almost get their arms ripped off by salmon hits, you're usually racking the lure across their backs and are feeling a quick snap of their tail... I've have them bust off 10lb braid like this with ease... Salmon fishing at it's finest!!!

    My first Batch

    Nice pics Joey, I'm assuming you are using a kit lens?
  20. I was out with the MNR 2-3 years ago helping them net muskies on Little Lake and Gloucester Pool in order to use the eggs for the Lake Simcoe Muskie restoration project. Let's hope they are making some headway...
  21. I use both.. Early season it's the manual auger, mid/late season when I'm driving the truck out 8-9 miles it's the power auger.
  22. The MNR is working on it
  23. So what colour marshmellows were working for you guys? Steel season is almost here!!!
  24. Marshmellows, a fav by many these past week, lol.
  25. I'm assuming he didn't set the time/date on the camera
