I am thinking of playing hooky from work tomorrow. I have yet to catch a fish through the ice this season on Simcoe. Only went out once though. May go out from the 9th line of Oro. Anybody heading out?
I can't get it too dirty in just the 2nd day of owning it. It hauls four guys and all our tools to work everyday just fine. I will take another pic in a few weeks when the construction site thaws out. You won't be able to see what colour it is.
The XTR has the larger tires with chrome rims and the running boards. It has more chrome on the truck over all. This is my 4th truck in a row and my wife is on her 3rd ford now(Explorer,Freestar,Expedition). Fords work for me.
The truck is in today getting a diamond coat, Scotchgaurd and the front windows tinted. Got to take care of it before construction season kicks in and the abuse starts.
Didn't get the Ecoboost, they are selling faster then Ford can make them. I have the 5.0 like Wayne. The gas mileage is almost par on those two engines anyway. Already have the electronic brake controller too. My lease was up so I had to move on a truck . The one I bought had all the toys I wanted minus the larger tow mirrors. Will be keeping this one for a long time.
She served me well.
But I like the new one better.
Ford sure made a crap load of improvements in just three years. I have three trips up north and one down south this year and I going to enjoy every km of them.
Just got back from fishing there yesterday and today. lots of fish showed up on the radar but real finicky. Took a lot of work to get them to hit. The two of us landed only nine over the two days with the biggest being 22 inches. Spoons had the best results.
I agree if cars were parked hundreds of yards away from the lake the water run off from rain and melting snow flushes all the crap into the lake anyway.
But BOTH actions DO HARM the lake.
I also agree with all present. With four children and a wife to protect it would be shoot to kill. No witnesses. If it is OK to go distant countries and kill to protect our homeland and our freedom then it should be legal to protect your home and loved ones with equal force. Isn't that why the Coach gun was invented?
I catch most of my walleye on body baits and slow rolling spinnerbaits across the bottom when up there. I use a jig only when I need a rest from casting. Catch plenty any way you try. I will be going up to Attawapiskat river three times in 2011 and the only live bait I will be using is balls of worms for sturgeon.
