Looks like I'll be one of the first volunteers out on the water helping the MNR with their Lake Simcoe Muskellunge Restoration Project!! Talk about being excited, it's like being a little kid on Xmas Eve. I'll bring along the camera (After checking with my MNR guide of course) but it should be a fun day out on the water. Weather for Wednesday looks good, 8 degree's and sunny. Perhaps this will be my best learning experience when it comes to muskies yet! (This coming a close second to our one and only Lew ). I will try to keep my mouth shut (somewhat) and my ears open. Hopefully I'll have some pics for you guys Wed night!

You should be able to pick up that part at any electronics store(Sayal Electronics, etc) and even have them solder it on for you...

I think some 8lb mono or 6lb braid will be more then enough. I am going to run 4lb Fireline this year on my spinning setup.

I think the problem with taking a pic of a OOS fish is that it shows possession. Personally, I don't see the harm of snapping a pic (maybe leave the fish in the net?) Whatever you do, the important thing is to get it back into the water as quick as you can.

U-Hauls rentals are notorious for being pulled over by the MTO and deemed 'not road worthy' I think CityTV did an article or segment on U-Haul a few years back. Took 9 trucks to a mechanic, 7 wouldn't pass the most basic safety check, 2 of them had minor problems

I haven't been to Temagami since I was a little kid, so I don't have any tips for ya.

Wayne terrifies all the fish out of the deep water into the shallows with his plane

Let me know when you wanna test it out somewhere out in the Kawartha's this summer

Excellent Wayne! Now I know what to ask for when I get there Thanks man.

I was hoping to get some pre-made leaders to tell you the truth, I don't want to lose a nice fish because I suck at tying knots

I think Lew knows all the newbs that have been bit by the muskie bug I need to drop by JB's and pick up some terminal tackle (leaders, snaps, etc etc) I am sure I won't be leaving without a few more lures, lol!!! Mike, I am in the same boat as you, just itching for the opener to play with all the new toys I've picked up. Although the oldman and I have a trip planned to the French River for the early muskie opener (First Sat in June). I will most likely just test out the muskie setup for pike next weekend out on Gbay.. I cannot wait for that first cast!!!

Hey Mike, Picked it up online @ RadioWorld. $299. I should have picked it up at the SportsMan show, it was $20 cheaper ...

I had to make an addition to my dad's 15" Legend, lol Picked up a Eagle Intellimap 500C along with the Navionics Gold+ Chip (Great Lakes + Maritimes). Dropped by his place yesterday and did the install. I also found whoever wired the rear of the boat, did it ass backwards. All this time he's been running his graph unfused (someone put the fuse on the negative side).. So now I get to re-wire everything and make it pretty. Oh yeah, if anyone is looking at picking up the Gold+ chip from BPS, I had them price match a place up in Huntsville (Georgian Marine) for $193(BPS is $229). Got a bit of a hassle from the eletronics guy, saying the Gold was a '08 chip.. I gave him the :what the heck: stare and said the last time this map was updated was '07. Here is the link to the price match. http://www.georgianmarine.com/securestore/c181598.2.html Oh yeah, to all the Team #5 members, get your sigs updated with the new banner!!!

I've had a few people forget to turn their mic off after I've ordered. Most of the time it's nothing, but there have been a few off colour comments. I usually just yell back into the speaker "Hey smartass your MIC IS STILL ON!!!" Red faces and apologies are usually awaiting me at the window, lol BTW, Steeped Tea is done, their machine wasn't broken, Tim Horton's isn't carrying it anymore.

Doesn't seem like it.

Atlantic salmon in GBay?

I think Dad has taken control of this :)

Hoochies are those little fake squid that are usually run behind flashers

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should have just shot them and buried the bodies. Hell, you even would have had a bird to bring home!

I am pretty sure Clamp-it was being sarcastic

I gotta admit, I'd fly in that thing.. With a parachute of course

Mooses?

I'll be hitting the French for the early muskie opener, lets hope all this $$$$ I've spent on a muskie setup gets a workout

I just finished a big thick pork chop cooked on the BBQ, but man that burger looks goooooooooooooood
