Exactly. You have more than one pair of tighty whities don't you? Why?

They help in the cold too.

Nope, they don't show until later in June and are nowhere near as thick.

A little Northern mosquito vid for ya. So you still think your skitters are bad? https://www.facebook.com/allen.holt.315/videos/10202897986769332/

I knew about Salt Armor long before I got any FB stuff from them as they have been big in the South just like Hoorag.

It's OK Mike those of us that don't want malignant melanoma purchase them too for sun protection on the way to the bank robbery!!!!

They also have 80% off 12 packs @ $40. The promo code is PAYDAY1

Got a note in my FB feed this morning about a one day sale @ Salt Armor on 5 packs of face shields. Use the code CA80 @ checkout and you will get 80% off!!! With shipping the 5 pack I just ordered was $21USD!!!!! In the comments section when you check out just list the 5 shields you want. http://www.sateam.company/shop?category=Face+Shields

Proof? We want documentation!!!!

I once watched a grizzly bear walk up to a guys toon and take a bite of the front points on both bladders. Luckily he was straight across from the launch and he managed to row fast enough to get across before sinking!!!

Yep, I forgot to deflate my old toon one day and split the seam on one of the bladders. Aqua seal fixed it perfectly and it's still good many years later.

Try burgers or a steak!!!

Why would I do that? It doesn't get dark during our open water season!!!!

Because they are unionized and would need to kill someone (not a bad guy) to get fired.

Did that for 15 years while guiding up @ Great Bear. Never had one even think of coming off. Buckle and tighten and they are there until you open the buckle.

Well I can tell you that I have been to a bunch of games in Tampa and they have always had great crowds and it's a great atmosphere in that barn!!! Tons of Canucks live in the area and the arena is packed with expat Canadians. As an added bonus, tickets are very reasonable unlike the $18 double rum and cokes!!!

The last time the CO's rolled up on me up here I was in the middle of fighting a 20#+ pike. They told me to take my time and backed off and watched the fight. Then they came over and checked my license and made sure my hooks were de-barbed and went on their way. We don't have to have a boaters card and it seems boat registration is optional too as most boats have no numbers on them.

I don't miss the marine Nazi's of Ontario. All I get to deal with here are conservation officers. It's actually nice being asked for licenses and such. In 8 years here I have been asked more than the entire time live in Ontario. When I was in Ontario and lived in Mississauga I fished Lake O almost daily and the Peel Marine Unit checked me almost daily for my safety gear and license because they were too stupid to remember they checked me yesterday, and the day before, and the day before...........

We once put my buddies 15 Evinrude on the back of my little 12 footer. It was like driving the Miss Budweiser hydroplane!!!!! It was scary fast with the 15.

My first boat was a 12 footer with a 1963 Johnson 5.5 on it. It was a great little boat and I wish I still had it in my stable.

We tried a couple of those propane powered magnets @ the lodge on Great Bear. They did work but there are so many skitters they had to be emptied every 10 minutes. We stopped using them after a couple of weeks. Way too much work.

Now if you switch out that 11" 3 blade prop for an 11" 4 blade spitfire prop you will drop just below 6000 RPM @ WOT stay bout the same or a wee bit on the top end plus it will get on plane sooner and corner like it's on rails!!!!

Up here in the NWT the mosquito is our territorial bird!!!! When trying to repel mosquito's, horse flies and deer flies I just use Deep Woods Off. Now the black flies can be brutal at times and require a head net in order to not breathe them in. I have seen swarms of horse flies that turn the sky black and when you come to a stop in your vehicle they attack the car due to the heat coming off it!!!! As said, wear light coloured clothing as it helps a lot.
