  1. Wow, that is inexpensive. But nowhere near as comfortable or as much fun as my Yammie!!! Plus it gets great gas mileage. http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/products/produc...S|1&LANG=en
  2. Seems there is a rule in the forum setup that renames the acronym for "People Eating Tasty Animals" to P3TA.
  3. And Kittens died Black work great trolled for Muskies!!!!!!
  4. Hey, has anyone seen this yet? This is just out of control! Save the Sea Kittens This is a notice to all you Parents, Teachers, Coaches etc. who fish and love the outdoors to teach your kids about fishing and the outdoors before they are brain washed into being an ANTI!!!!!!!
  5. ! am a new sledder myself. Last year I purchased my first sled. When researching my purchase I had different criteria than you. One of the most important things I wanted in a sled was dependability and good gas mileage thus I was looking at 4 stroke machines. Where I live gas is down to $1.224 which is cheaper than when I bought it last year. Another important criteria was comfort and that is why I bought a long track. I can ride 100 miles and not even feel stiff. In Ontario you will find mostly short track machines as most sledding is done on groomed trails (non of those here ) or lakes. Long track machines float better in deep snow so if you plan on getting off the beaten path a long track would be a better choice. As for engine size 500 or 600 cc's would be a good place to start. Me..........I went all out and bought a 1000cc model!!! Bigger isn't always better though. The smaller sleds are lighter and easier to man handle when you get stuck. Notice I didn't say if. It will happen and when it does you will be happier with a lighter machine. This year I bought a winch for mine (I travel alone a lot and being able to get out of a jam is important when you're 100 miles from the nearest town) Don't forget to look into a trailer as well to get your sled to where ever you want to use it.
  6. Plenty of places closer than St. Kitts. Bronte in Oakville, The Credit in Mississauga, Duffins in your neck of the woods, Oshawa Cr. Grab yourself a map and a copy of the regs for finding areas with extended seasons. Pretty much any trib from Niagara Falls to Port Hope and beyond has fishable #'s of trout and salmon running them.
  7. Don't think of it as SNOW think of it as RUBE REPELLANT!!!!!! Snow and Cold get rid of all the Lugans on our precious steelie streams!!!!
  8. It's really easy to get them during their spawning run, but I'm not sure how ethical it is.
  9. Single egg recipe: 1 tablespoon of crystal Drano to 1 litre of water. Add food colouring [optional]. Usually takes about 10 minutes for roe to cure, but continually check with the point of a hook until desired consistency is reached. Immediately rinse with water. Keeps in fridge for about 2 to 3 weeks, seemingly forever when vacuum-packed in the freezer. Stonefly Nymphs and Hellgarmites can be had by turning over rocks in the stream and catching them. Watch out for the pinchers on Hellgramites though.
  10. when I used to fish Wilmot and had super clear cons. I would downsize my float, use a single egg and super light leaders (think 3/4 to 2 pound test) I hooked a ton but didn't land too many. :wallbash:
  11. I used to catch a lot of muskyies in Little Bald trolling tandam blade 1/2 oz spinnerbaits in blue and yellow right through the weed beds. The channel between Big and Little Bald has produced a lot of fish casting spinnerbaits to the shore and retrieving to the channel and letting it fall down the face of the weeds.
  12. There are a lot more dangerous things than fishing alone. Just driving the 401 you are risking your life every time you are out!!!!!! I do most of my fishing and hunting alone. I camp alone in Grizzly country and the waters I fish will cause hypothermia in a heartbeat. If you use common sense and are prepared you get to live. In the winter I will take my snowmobile 100 miles from civilization to hit some Laker hotspots, if you are prepared for any problem that might come up it is not nearly as risky as it may sound. When I'm just out for the day I make sure I have everything I need to survive if something should happen
  13. Dude, it's time to ask Santa for a WINCH for Christmas!!!!!
  14. No need for a patch unless it's quite big. Just use a piece of tape on the inside to temporarily hold the cut together and use Aqua Seal to repair the tear. Apply the Aqua Seal so it gets into the cut and 1/4" or so around the cut on the outside. Wet your finger and smooth out the glue. When cured (overnight) remove the tape and seal the inside with Aqua Seal. It will be stronger than the original. Don't go overboard with the Aqua Seal you only want enough to do the job and strenghten the immediate area.
  15. Definately sad news. I also saw them a bunch of times. They were always a hit at the Sheridan College dances in the early 80's as well as Sharkey's. I was playing their stuff on my drive to and from Alaska last month, Great Driving Music. Rest in peace Frankie you will be missed.
  16. If i could teleport myself any where it would be places like The Vedder, Bulkley and Situk to name a few. The Ghetto or Dirt would not be on my list!!!!
  17. I couldn't stand that traffic any more so I got the heck outta dodge!!!!!! I now have a 10 minute commute during rush hour...............er minute!! I even head home for lunch something I haven't done since the early 80's. Life is good again. Since I moved here I no longer have stress..........I think I even have a new hair or two growing in!!!!!!
  18. I remember that zoo!!! Not to mention the ghetto in Rochester!!! Nothing like having to negotiate the Crack HO's to get from the parking lot to the river!!!! I don't miss it at all.
  19. Talladega North!!! That would have been sweet!!!
  20. Ask and ye shall recieve!! Here's a bunch more from Mike's camera. A sweet dolly Fish On!!! Pinkie on the fly. More generic Alaskan scenery. Mid river bow. A couple of fat HO's and fish too!!!
