  1. Classic. A true laugh out loud moment!
  2. LOL, don't put the blame on me, I just voted for that date! It's too early to know if I can even make it. I like Lakair. Plenty of room with cottages and campsites. (you can almost drive a truck through there) Great docks and adequate ramp.
  3. I was just kidding about the skunk foot. His lucky charm is a banana shaped mirror which he broke while ducking under a ladder to rescue his black cat that ran out in front of an ambulance. No fishing for me this weekend. I'll be playing the roles of carpenter, accountant, driver, father and husband.
  4. I vote for a date when kids are still in school. I vote for a date that doesn't collide with another groups big annual outing. I vote for a date that has at least a few species open, not necessarily all. I'd like to see it on Sat. June 19. That gives options to those wanting come the week before for muskie or stay the week after for bass.
  5. You're right, work before play. If you're a little late getting off work just call us in the boat when you have dinner ready and we'll meet you back at the cottage. We're reasonable people.
  6. No, it wasn't your fault. I think it had more to do with your good luck charm; who ever heard of a lucky skunk foot?
  7. I've always had good luck watching out for the car in front of the one behind me. I post and read on my BB in regular mode but I find the LoFi loads lightning fast. I hope the new update can wrap it all up in one package.
  8. You'd recognize it if it was in a more familier setting; like at the other end of the boat and Carole holding it.
  9. LOL! Gotta work fast in rush hour Thames traffic. You take too long to land a fish, you get clothes-lined by by someone's planerboard line!
  10. Good morning Mike. I got up early to beat the rush at the gas pumps.
  11. Thanks again JJ, it would have been a good trip even without getting one in the boat. Let me know when you're ready to do it again.
  12. Unless you're into Salmon fishing, Windsor has a lot of opportunities for soft water; shore and boat fishing. Sturgeon, walleye, bass, muskie, perch, white bass, bows. Not much for small water in the area however.
  13. That was your stand I peed on? What's a button?
  14. Well done! Got a 44 today to break in my new net!
  15. Do you think they grow the gas at each station? All gas stations are designed to take delivery from trucks; maneuvering with a trailer or motorhome shouldn't be too much of a chore. You should have been able to reach Windsor from Quebec with a quarter tank to spare in your Malibu! Next time I see a guy on the side of the road with a jerry can, I'll be thinking of you.
  16. Pssst! There's a ruler on the cradle handle. I'm glad your persistance paid off; I'd guess 42-44. Good news on the fishfinder as well! Maybe I'll see you down there this weekend.
  17. Nice fish Simon! That'll be tough to beat, you might as well give up now!
  18. I have a single (center console) and there are many times I'd like a full windshield and top. I'm currently refurbishing mine and I spotted a full windshield on sale (50% off). Thought about it, planned for it and when I went to pull the trigger, it was out of stock. I would probably be better suited with a full windshield and top because while I'm not 80, sometimes I feel that way. Having the windshield and top can extend your fishing day... those cold rainy spring and fall days are much more comfortable. If you're casting 80% or better, a top might be a pain in the butt all the time. What kind of fishing do you do and what size boat are you looking at?
  19. Since we're comparing apples to oranges, I say get a Trinidad.
  20. I have insulated rain gear from Mark's Work Warehouse. Windriver brand. Outstanding. Parka, detachable hood and pants, black and substantially cheaper the BPS and Cabela's top offerings. Be warned, they are very warm!
  21. Great story! A tip for you... if you're ice fishing rods goes for a swim, let it go.
  22. If you're just looking for a 5:1 ratio, you have a choice. If you're looking for a 7:1, the choice is made for you.
  23. I don't think Starcraft ever produced a welded boat under the Starcraft name but I believe Monark is a division of Starcraft and has a nice line of welded models to choose from dating back at least a few years.
  24. If they want to catch that thing all they have to do is call Carole (bly).
  25. Well done Roy. On second thought, you might just be trying to establish an alibi. Do you have a receipt for the minners?
