  1. Thanks Merc There is a picture on this board of me fishing with that one It's quite a hike
  2. I haven't really had anything to write about for a while. This past winter fishing for me was nonexistent, even this spring I have rarely made it out. The few trips out have been fun as usual with family and some good friends. The first trip of the year was with SRT8 and The Urban Fisherman. We headed to Dunnville to search for some cats. It was a miserable day and I froze my ass off We didn't get a nibble but shared stories and laughed all day which is just as fun. Before we left town we had to at least hook into one cat each so we made a stop. The next trip was a short perch trip with my 3 year old Jamie. I knew that rain was on it's way so I hurried out to a spot to get into some quick fish. Jamie, as usual had a fish on before I was even ready. We were only there a few minutes before the rain started so we headed in. I was happy because the first fish of the year was in the boat. This past weekend we finally got down to the cottage for the weekend. To say that I missed it is an understatement. The dogs were happy to be back too. Saturday was the day of the perch derby in Long Point. I took my 6 year old Jacob out and he destroyed me I couldn't catch a keeper for the life of me, Jacob on the other hand was just pulling them in non-stop. It was a tough day out there and cold out but Jacob managed to get 5th place in the derby (not in a kids division). Jimmy Riggin set him up with some new gear and lures He was one happy kid and I was one proud father! Now as some of you may know, I decided to start running at the beginning of March. Not only to lose weight but to feel good in general and have more active fun with the kids. I set a goal of running 5k by the end of May. I didn't anticipate that my boss would start running as well and set a goal of 5k by the end of April. I am not one to be outdone so I started running hard and often. The pain went away and it became enjoyable. Shortly after we set a new goal of 10k by the end of April Shortly after that he got an injury and had to stop. I got a couple 10k runs in and even a 15k but they were slow and painful. I woke up Sunday morning and decided that I have to go for it. It was a perfect day and there is nothing like running down an empty beach. Next up is the 5k in the Toronto Marathon next weekend, the day after a pike tournament So today I finally had a chance to chase some trout. We made the long drive to my favourite stop and had only 30 minutes to fish before it started pouring. We ended up catching a few and Jamie was having a ton of fun. Can't wait for the summer! Dan
  3. I fished, read a book, napped, fished, napped, jogged, fished, read a book and now I going fishing in half an hour. Wait, I did chop firewood for 20 minutes, right before a nap
  4. I had one as a rental and took it back after 2 days. Poor mileage, no room and no power
  5. It's a 2 week paid vacation. The only way an employer does not have to pay is if the person gets fired WITH cause.
  6. Thanks Solo, I really enjoyed that!
  7. I just got a 2012 Dodge Caravan for a tech at work and it's great on gas. It's completely loaded with tools and parts and currently sitting at 10.2L/100km. I was never a minivan fan but it's great. It has a 3600lb towing capacity.
  8. I get 7.5mpg at 5500rpm and 8.5mpg at 4200rpm if I want to take it slow
  9. A great song with a Fish-A-Thon'r on the drums http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sUdNpGdOI0
  10. We enjoyed it I'm sure I'll enjoy it again this year
  11. IT'S NOT A MOTOR!!! Looks like you had a great time
  12. It'll cost me about $3 extra for the boat per weekend. I am not too worried
  13. What if he doesn't get the 700 bucks and he finds it anyway
