HOLY MACKINAW!!!!!!!!

That JVR goal was insane!!!!

Knocking it out of mid air and staying onside was

Lightning are up 3-1 on the Canadians. This is not looking good.

3-2 now.

DOH!!!!

4-2 now.

Go see Tony and load up on Beaver Lures!!!!

I was hoping they would make it to the top of the bottom third of the league!!!

​This is way better than expected whatever happens between now and the end of the regular season.

Are these still on sale at BPS? I wouldn't mind picking up some swimbaits.

No they aren't but the regular price on the squids is cheap @ $1.99 a piece.

$3.99 for the 12 1/2" ones if you want to go that big.

Rigged up a couple of my big squids. Need more weights and hooks to finish the batch off. One's 9.5" and the other is 7.5".

1 1/4 oz bell weight with the wire removed in the 9.5 and 3/4 oz egg in the 7.5. 40# flouro leader.

What's going on?

 

Im freaking out I don't have tsn 4 lol. Any live feeds?

Just a little retribution for a hit on Matthews.

I have TSN 4 but it is blacked out so I spend $$$$ for Rogers Gamecenter Live.

Nice right by Martin!!!

Rocked him pretty good.

That's cute!!!!

Here's mine!!!!!!

You go into work Friday morning to pick up your pay and instead of your regular pay envelope there is just a plain white envelope in your mail slot with your name on it?

 

I kind of looked at it and went "oh oh" but I was in a hurry and everyone seemed busy so I just took it and left.

 

I drove down the road and pulled into a parking lot and opened the envelope. I couldn't believe my eyes, there was a beautifully written letter thanking me for my loyalty and dedication to the companies profitability; a totally unexpected $100.00 compensation for attending a meeting that I hadn't expected any compensation for at all; and a very nice unasked for raise in pay!

 

Way to make a guy proud of the company he works for and want to do even more if he can!

 

Hopefully he doesn't get another bump on the noggin.

 

 

Do you trim the squid at all Dave? Im wondering if a large 1oz jig would work better, instead if the eggs sinker for jigging. Going to have to give this a try.

No trimming.

They actually work well going straight up and down when vertical jigging.

No white tubes?

 

Paddletails look awesome! Such a great troot bait

I have a big selection of 8" and 10" tubes in stock.

I love those big paddle tails Dave! Great for spring pike as well

Yup.

The big squids are good for troots.

You stick an egg sinker in the head and run your leader through it.

Slide a crimp on your leader and then tie on a hook.

Crimp the crimp to stop the hook from sliding all the way to the sinker and jig or troll away.

Man that Kane is a dirty dude. I kinda wish someone would give him a taste of his own medicine..

I was waiting for a Martin or Boyle beat down on the punk!!!!

Kinda ticked it didn't happen.

Great response by the boys but whoa that was a close finish.

 

All Toronto's goals were highlight reel goals lol

At this rate Matthews is going to pass 40 goals.

So you wanna play like that do ya Detroit?

Wellllll................................................BAM!!!!

Take that!!!!

Dave, just out of idle curiosity, when they make the ice road, could you not have driven your truck and trailer out to the camp, instead of hauling loads by snow machine? I understand at the shoulder times, early and late ice, the road can't take a full load, but I thought you should be able to take the truck and trailer out during the peak weeks?

 

Doug

I take the load to within 1/2km of the cabin (the road runs up the middle of my bay) and I sled from the ice road to the cabin.

My cabin is at the North end of the lake 14kms from the access.

Light blue line is the ice road and red X is my cabin.

PS plenty of ice as it's over 4 feet thick.

Even if I could park right at the shore I would still have to sled it up to the cabin.

It's 200' back from the water and gains over 100' of elevation.

I've carried to much heavy crap up that hill in summer.

Not gonna do it in the winter.

Tomorrow's load ready to take out to the cabin.

One more smallish load next weekend and I can relax a while!!!

Now that the Leafs are winning and look like they have a good road ahead, I have become a fan again. I have seen the error of my ways rooting for the senaturds and look forward to a long playoffs with the Blue and White. Go Leafs Go.

And the date has nothing to do with this post right?

Yep. Still hoping they make it in. Then lose of course

To the Leafs!!!

In 4 straight!!!
