  1. Fair enough but even in the 80's I didn't wear shorts like that. Nice fish though!

     

     

    Scary ... as it is ... I May ... and I mean just MAY ... have been seen in similar shorts in the late 70's early eighties... but that could just be the scotch talking :)

  2. I got my 1-piece 7 foot Pete Maina from ... lets call him the musky king (LEW).... a few years back .. and although I paid a little extra for the totally AWESOME Calcutta CT 400B reel ... I must say it has been a fabulous rig ... even if we are still waiting for our first 50 +

  3. Wow .. has it been a year already !!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

    I am still waiting for my chance to see the new ride Wayne - I presume all the kiddy-barf and cigarette-butts are gone by now from last year's show :)

     

    BTW I have a three pound - 21" musky bait - which absolutlry requires a DOUBLE salty to hold her while trolling ... just waiting to be dragged around penetang bay :)

  4. Good for you bud !!!!

     

    I did it that way too ... am now at 606 days (and counting) ... I think the first trip into the wilds was the scariest .. I knew I was at least an hours drive from a smoke ... but it was the thing that actually made me KNOW I could do it ... enjoy your camp ... and the fresh air ... you should soon be smellng things like you havent in years ... I can now smell a smoke in the car ahead of me (even if their windows are closed) ...

  5. Well .. I thought about this thread today as I drove down the 401 and called in (not really sure if I was breaking a law yet) to the OPP to report a 6 foot length of 4" x 4" between the two outside lanes .. just waiting to cause a death .... I say use yer noggin ... and rememebr its better to be tried by twelve than to be carried by six.

  6. Let us know if any Pheasants are seen.

     

     

    Well .. I can honestly say... as a fella who grew up in Agincourt (in the early 70's) ... many a Pheasant and grouse was fluhed out of the hydro fields between Kennedy and Warden (near Tam O Shanter golf course) .. not sure if they still exist though

  7. I always get the sportsmans licence ... not only is it worth the few bucks extra .... I happen to think musky... especially those 50+ girls ... tastes almost as good as sturgeon (flame away ladies ) :)

     

    Seriously though ... what is the difference between this and fishing on the upper credit where it is 100% catch and release ONLY ... what no speck pics allowed .. yea right !!!

  8. Well ...if you actually do the speed limit on the off ramp from the 407 onto 404 northbound you're likely to get CREAMED from behind ... it goes from 100 (which is really more like 110+ for most) down to 30KM ... and the ramp is almost a half a mile long .... and I have seen ...more than a few times ...a friendly cruiser waiting just behind the first bend .... even when you 'crawl along' at your peril, you can easily be doing 25 - 30 over and have an 18 wheeler smoking up your rear .... in that case I would say theres probably more than a few who get the 'racing' charge where really they just didnt slow down fast enough.... 407 onto 427 south is the same deal ...slow down from 120 to 70 on a mile long straghtaway ....but then the old rule applies .. I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried away by 6 :)

  9. Ah my favourite spot for late fall 'hos ... thanks for not photoshopping ... I would have thought it is still a bit early ... but ... obviously I was wrong .... nice job for sure and good to se they are still coming 'home' even though (I believe) the stocking of them has pretty much all but stopped in that trib.

  10. Pretty fish .. thanks for sharing ... and yes I can honestly say they are the best tasting fish (followed closely by Pickeral and rainbows) ... but I agree the populations in the smaller streams are really not able to sustain the fishing pressure unless the ministry really ups the ante on stocking .... on the other hand some of those real deep woods back lakes are special :)

  11. I just got a new courier .. real happy with it .... quiet and efficient,.. but the old 'cracked' thing is a gotcha that apparantly is an industry wide sales tool .... in any case if you gotta replace it ... (and better safe than sorry) might as well go with a well known brand ...

  12. Smitty with market volatility right now just place the bonds into a short term GIC. Do not invest in stocks, do not invest in gold because a good rally has happened already. Mutual funds are an uncertainty right now and due to the huge accumulating USA debt with no secure backing for their bond issues I believe that they will have to increase the interest rate to secure further money as the credit rating continues to degrade.

     

    Which means that interest rates will begin to rise long term so don't lock in right now.

     

     

    Well gold was up almost 10% today ...markets rebounded almost 5% .... but truth is .. there is no safe haven ...CDN$ vs US $... even GIC's could be completely toasted if the bank goes down and you are over your CDIC limit ... but it in the bigger scheme of things it really depends on your goal .... excitement or safety ... right now to be frank the matress is looking pretty good to a lot of folks... me .... I still like tulip bulbs :)

  13. Been eating L.O. salmon and trout since I was a kid (and thats a long time ago)... I have found them both tasty and healthy ...in fact I would say ... the salmonids are a good barometer of healthy waters ... if they look or act sick dont eat them ... but if they look and act healthy ... well you're probably good to go ... but then .... I was a smoker for 25 years so... your results may vary :)

  14. Sore throat ... instant remedy .... and move the cold/flu to its next stage (without passing go) ... is to gargle with a half glass of warm water with 4 tablespoons of salt in it ... DONT SWALLOW ! ... spit it out .. sore throat which otherwise drags on ... goes bye-bye in a few minutes .... and then the nasty next stage (whatever that is) comes but it sure beats messing around for a couple of days with lozenges etc ... NEVER fails .... oh and I concur with the Neocitran/rye .... but I add a spoon of honey and tuck right into bed :) ....then get up early and go fishin ... nothin cures a cold like a day on the water :)
