Yep, don't like it. Some people do but I just don't like it. Gotta say I don't like salmon either.

Dude, you're killing me!!!!

I am also a big fan of ocean fish. My favorites are halibut, cod and believe it or not flying fish. Them little winged buggers are soooooooo tasty.

Definately!!!! GlobalStar dropped the ball big time several years ago when their satellites started dying and they put their spares into service but did not replace them. At one point they were down to just 3 of the 8 original birds still operating. We dropped GlobalStar several years ago when the problem was only a year or so old. We switched to satellie internet and Vonage at the lodge and the service is excellent. I see it still isn't fixed. The Iridium I borrow from work is perfect.

We have two vintage Hondas up at the lodge and they just won't die. I'm not sure what size they are but one is kid sized and the other is probably a 250 I think. They have been used on a daily basis for at leat 20 summers and are still running like new. Here's a couple of pics of my buddy on the baby bike. We loaded into the boat and took it over to our air strip to run his gear up the hill.

Looks like a fun trip Mike. Is that the island your dad hit last month? What was the repair bill like. Oh, and that beach you found looks sweet!!!!!

I just grab the phone from work.

If you thought that was wild. Ask him to take you out when there's a nice 3 foot chop and hammer down.

You said it Craig. Back in the 80's it was a great place to fish, then in the 90's it went down hill fast. Too bad because there were some awesome brown and steelhead runs and some sweet holding water, that became 3" deepflats that are connected by 2' deep pools. But even back in the good old days the flats down in the park were always full of loogans snagging away at the salmon as they ran the 6" deep flat into the holding water above.

Yep. The fish start out the year in the Western basin of Lake O and through out the year make a counter clockwise migration around the lake. So the fish arrive at the Eastern tribs first. They also start running them earlier as the water temps of those rivers is some what cooler than the tribs closer to TO/Mississauga/Oakville.

Not when you consider power usage. The more power they are able to deliver the more power they use. But even at idle (with no load) the higher the wattage they can deliver the more power they use. For instance a 2500 watt inverter will use quite a bit more power with no load than a 1500 watt model will. So unless you want to run out of battery power before the end of your camping trip I would go with the smallest inverter you can get away with. Something to think about.

With them being bigger they give you added range as well. My boat has an 18 gallon built in tank. But living up here I need more range when going on long trips so I plan on adding a 12 gallon tank in the back of the boat. 30 gallons should get me where I want to go and back.

2500 Watts is overkill for that unless you want to run them all at once. 1500 is fine. I have a 1750 and can even run my table saw off it. I have a 1300 generator that will run my small microwave or my espersso machine in my trailer.

9.51#

Early to mid 1990's vintage by the looks of it. Take down the model and serial number call this #, 800-227-6433 and ask them the year. I did that when I got this one earlier this summer. They were very helpful. The fellow there even emailed me a PDF of the user manual.

My first gun was an 870 SPS Camo. Super sweet gun, still have it.

I started out with a 12 footer that had a 5.5 on it. I would go with a 9.9 2 stroke also if I were to buy another boat that size. One year just laughs we put my buddies 15 Evinrude on it. It went like a raped ape with two of us and our gear. I wouldn't recomend it though.

Here you go, direct from Microsoft to you. This is for the XP version (Vista and & will support these and possibly more).

I gather you are using Windows right? If so google "Windows Movie Maker Download" It's free from Microsoft and they have it for all versions of Windows since XP. It's not uber powerful but it does the job plus you can add music, still photos, titles and transitions. I did these videos with it. Topwater Pike Ice Fishing NWT Salmon & Trout in Alaska

Lifetime 1 year replacement and after that the replacement cost is $100US or $120CDN (they just increased the price not too long ago)

Check Here and see if any of these schools offer distance learning.

That is a good charger but overkill for what you need. It will charge 3 batteries at once (I have one on my boat). This one here will do the same thing but is designed for one battery and is also on sale this week. Battery Charger I have been using These Batteries for years with no problems. I also top up the charge on my batteries every few months.

If you're not careful a grizzlies paw!!!

Actually it is. Putting a micro SD card into a machine that takes full size SD is not a big deal as there are adapters available. But there are no adapters that will shrink a full size SD so it will fit into a Micro SD slot.

When I lived in Ontario I spooled up with 8# Ande because I liked the way it handled but when I moved West I changed to 12# Raven as the higher test Ande lines were too stiff. If the 8# Raven is anything like there 12# I would think it would be too limp for me. As I said I run Raven 12# with 8# Ultragreen for leaders or in clear water 8# Flouro for most of my fishing.
