  1. I don't notice any interference, but then again I have an LX-5 Maybe if I had one of those VEX things I would have a problem with it. The issue is caused by the high power of the Marcum units. More power=better target separation.
  2. It only updates every few hours to keep the load on the server down, so it can work on more important stuff.
  3. Me thinks the transit commisioner has had a few too many bong hits!!!
  4. Just when I thought I was done spending $$ on big ticket items for my ice fishing obsession this comes along.
  5. For most of my bait casters it's braid. I do use mono on a couple that I use for river fishing trout and char though. The mono holds up better around rocks. Braid tends to fray too easily and mono has more stretch which lessens the probability of pulling the lure away from the fish. Generally I'm bouncing heavy spoons along the bottom with this system.
  6. Emil I always used the launch at Lakeside Promanade Pk. at the Lakeview Gen Stn. Don't know what it's like now but it had 2 very nice ramps and lots of free parking. Plus it was 3 minutes from my house.
  7. For walleye get the lightest tension ones available. I have a bunch of the OR3's for eyes and some OR14's for salmon.
  8. I also have not had any issues with RayBan's warranty or service. It was also nice that they are located in Mississauga (at least it was nice when I lived there ) My RayBan's are amber for most types of light. I also have some Haber's in rose for low light and some Smith Action Optics in grey for bright sunny days. The clearest glasses I have ever had were a pair of Ocean Waves but I lost them in a rafting incident and they're now over $300 to replace them.
  9. I was in Lutselke' on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake for work this past week and stayed at the local Lodge for my accomodations. I had a lot of work to do in town over the week but got to wet a line on a couple of occasions. The first time I put on the waders and hiked a ways up from the lodge and fished from a point where the river dumps into the bay. I managed a couple of grayling in the 18" range and several trout to about 7 or 8 pounds. Not bad for an hour and a half. I did notice that the water felt pretty chilly (think I have a seam leak in the G3's ) I found out later that the temp there was still only 4.5C. The following day (and my last full day in the area) I was able to finish all the work I had to do and get back to the lodge by lunch. The lodge is run by a husband and wife team (Wayne and Debbie) and they have a nice little operation going on there. The boats are 18' Alumarines with 40hp Merc EFI 4 Strokes. I talked to Wayne about taking a boat out for the afternoon and evening and after lunch got out and did a little fly trolling for troots!!! So I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Enjoy
  10. I still have 41 more days to go until my vacation. But them I'm off to Alaska for 5 1/2 weeks. Then it will be nothing but this!!!
  11. Take it to these guys. They do great work at a great price!!! City Wide Welding Inc 905-677-0316 1867 Drew Road, Mississauga, ON L5S 1J5
  12. Rob

    I went with Eddie too.

  13. It was so hot the Pilsbury French Loaf I bought at the grocery store was ready to serve by the time I got home!!!!
  14. Terry I would much rather have my winters than your summers. The last year I was there I was really having breathing problems due to the bad yellow air.
  15. Holy crap it's hot down there!!!!! I wouldn't want to be outside in TO (or any other southern Ontario location). Weather like this is for sittin' inside infront of a big air conditioner with a cold drink. Thursday looks like a killer!!!! Remeber to bring your pets inside!!!
  16. Windy huh? I had a couple of farms and barns across the street disappear like that back in '96.
  17. You're right it's the sheathing that went bye bye. I guess they didn't use ring shank nails. My guess is the wind got under the porch and lifted the whole thing off including the roof sheathing.
  18. I'll be hopping on a plane to Lutselke' in a couple of hours to go set up the network in our new learning centre there. While there I will be staying Here unfortunately. Might even have a day to get out fishin' plus I'll have time after work. Oh woe is me!!!!
  19. Don't forget the cool Captains hat.
  20. This has nothing to do with the construction just local building codes. In areas where hurricane force winds are common hurricane ties are required for securing the roof trusses to the walls. In Ontario there is no requirement for hurricane ties and when you get very high winds this is what can happen when the trusses are only toe nailed into the wall caps.
  21. No more than having a transom/swim ladder and you don't need to go out and spend extra $$$$ for it.
  22. Call the airlines and see what they have to say.
