Sweet Ridgeline, lol

Lots of them around here as well. Flat brimmed hat drivers I especially like the ones with the stacks sticking out of the bed, lol!

Diesels don't have to be slow, you should ask the SRT8 owner that I embarrassed last week

Dave, reliving the good old times! lol

I'm glad I drive a diesel and get great mileage, but still. Perhaps a few protests and burnt cars would do the trick?

Yup. Biggest scam out there. Look at the price per barrel, why are we paying the prices we are at the pumps? Makes zero sense.

Sucked for spring river mouth/estuary fishing that's for sure.

I'll be out this weekend in the boat casting staging salmon, I'll try not to run over any canoeists in the middle of the night

Raf, let us know how you like the new truck! I still drive a diesel, but it's definitely never going to have a tow hitch, lol.

Great advice, can't be too visible out there in a canoe. Reminds me I need to head down for some night fishing.

Your buddy submitted the FOI eh? lol sure. We aren't that stupid. I'm glad you didn't get the info, heaven forbid you have to work to get great fishing spots.

This doesn't sound very safe.

I just hook my charger to the trolling motor batteries. We're in the boat at least once a week, so the big motor charges the starter + other battery just fine. No need to hook that up (for us anyhow)

Depending on the charger you can charge them as a 24V system (In series, one lead per battery single bank), or on a per battery basis(parallel, two leads per battery, using 2 banks of the charger) all depends on how you have the charger hooked up. I don't charge my starting battery, big motor (Or kicker) takes care of that when we are running. I do have another battery installed in parallel with the starter which I use for my electronics (So I'm not draining the starter batteries running the graphs)

I was holding the fish, my oldman did the measuring, lol! ah well I'll just have to catch something bigger next time

Guest charger here, no complaints.

I've caught muskie, but nothing even close to this.

With the double eyelets to change your depth, these are one of my fav casting baits. Especially when you wanna swim it just above the weeds, makes for a great surface lure as well.

Didn't have my big salmon net with me.

Parents were up at French River for a week or so with my niece and her cousin. I decided to head up Thurs and spend a few days fishing. Weather was crap, rain everyday but at least the temp was constant. Heard rumours of some muskie being hooked and caught, brought my muskie stuff with me and thought I'd put some effort into them. Second night, back bay about 15ft of water just off the edge of a nice weed edge, absolutely destroyed my jointed Believer as soon as it hit the water. Fight was maybe 5mins, half of that was telling my oldman to put the net away She got rolled up pretty good but none of the hooks were buried. Quick measurement was 47in to the fork and very very girthy. Bigger width wise then any pike I've caught. Such a nice fish. Of course didn't have a camera, lucky some people we knew were only about 50ft away and grabbed some pics for us. She swam off great after about 5 mins. I understand why people get hooked on these fish. I'm 6'3 and as you can tell I'm not holding the fish 5ft from my body She was a big big girl. The HB 959 I picked up also works awesome with the Terrova! Nice to have a big screen up there.

^-- Bingo.

Clay bar.

Good move if you ask me. Keep the hooligans with the nets, spears and giant treble hooks out doing this crap under the cover of darkness.

Frog toggs if you aren't sitting in the boat are probably your cheapest bet.

Bigger pike are so much easier to clean, a low 40s pike has lots of meat on it My oldman loves them.
