Bass Pro sells Frogg Toggs rain wear. Honestly, it is so light you don't even know you're wearing it, they weigh as much as a piece of paper towel, incredible. I have a set and have sat in a hard rain for 1.5 hours and was bone dry afterward. Also very inexpensive compared to other suits. They feel like the Tyvek stuff you wrap a house with before the siding goes on, very water proof and very breathable. I would recommend you check it out. Interestingly, I believe they are highly rated by the motorcycle community/industry as well.

Thank you kind sir

Is there a public launch on Little Redstone, or Redstone?

I think I will go to Sail instead

There are way too many of them, they need to be culled and their meat sent to starving countries.

Yep, out on. Balsam on Saturday and the MNR Sciences boat pulled over at the side of the brother-in-laws boat, my brother was fishing with him and they measured his 57 cm pickerel for him. I pulled up alongside, as we were about to leave to go home, but they never even asked me if I had anything, I didn't have any pickerel, but I still thought it was somewhat strange. They weren't interested in anything safety wise, measured the fish, took a scale sample to age it and left.

Great smallie lake, love fishing them there. Mepps spinners, silver on sunny days, gold on cloudy days. Good starting points for them are the south side of Grand Island and around Ant Island. Move a little further out into deeper water south of Grand for pickerel, deep diving cranks in perch pattern.

Ya, the canoe should upside down so it won't get filled with rain water

Just plain salt will do the trick. Used it on weeds growing up thru the gravel on the driveway last year worked like a charm, still haven't grown back. Plain old table salt, easy as that.

Yes Culligan, the high effiency model. Got ours in January just put the first bag of salt in two days ago, incredibly efficient. You will save enough money on salt to pay for the softener. Btw, we use on average 125 gallons of water a day, the unit keeps track of all this and more, so we don't scrimp on water.

And nothing is ever going to be done about it by whining on an online forum, so why bother. People can sure talk, but I don't see much walking being done.

Please check your PM, I am sending you one with a couple of questions. Thanks

Ridiculous report, I must put this lake on my bucket list. Thanks very much for sharing.

I am very interested in reading about your trip and any other trips you have had to this lake. I've been up that way a few times (Wakami, the Domtar rd through to Webbwood etc) and have looked at that lake on the map on more than a few occasions and thought it would be an ideal place to go. Please share about this years trip and any other trips you've been on up there, very interested in reading about access point(s), fishing quality, campsites and anything else in general. Thanks very much

Vertical hold, tsk, tsk

I may have to check that show out next Sunday

Very sad, much, much too young

A big hunk of fuuudddgggeeee Damn right, fudge and fishing, does it get any better than that

The exception applies to that square, yes

Those are your shallow water drive settings. I had an 8 hp Merc I bought in '95 that had the same settings. Once set, all you had to do was press down on the tiller handle when entering shallow water in order to trim the motor further. There were three positions the motor would click into by pressing down. Btw, I also had a 12 footer and with the gas tank in the front, the boat planed nicely with just me in it.

No lifetime warranty, im the third owner of the boat, they won't honour any warranty on it. Boat is strong like bull, got a 25 on it, it will run 27 mph with just me in it, was running 23 mph last night with three of us in it on a very rough Cameron Lake. The boat is 20 years old and doesn't leak a drop, driest boat I've ever seen. I didn't modify anything else about the middle seat regarding supports or the rivets to the hull, can't see how the foam adds so much to the structural integrity that it will cause problems, have had it out 6 years now, still no issues.

Why bother putting foam back in? Foam is only useful if you managed to swamp the boat, which let's face it, is extremely unlikely to happen. Use the space for storage, dry, battery, build a cooler in there, or a removable baitwell, something useful. I removed the foam out of the middle seat in my Lund to make a dry storage area and a place for my battery and portions of foam from the other two cross seats and built in coolers, using the foam as insulation. Now when I go fishing I have no coolers in the way and the battery and wiring for everything is hidden away, not tripping over stuff.

Beautiful place it is indeed, thanks for sending me back on memory lane.

To Mosquito, don't lump me in with the slackers, I worked at elections for 11 years, delivered every general and by-election from 2003 to 2011, at the provincial level, not just one riding. I know more about the electoral process than anyone on this board, working between 30 and 35 days straight to make sure people were able to exercise their franchise. I am out of that game now though and while I still care that we are able to vote democratically, my focus has changed. People have a right to vote or not to vote, it's that simple. It just boils down to what choice does a person have, I really don't see one out there that I can hang my hat on. Im not going to put their pictures on the dart board and decide that way, if I don't believe in something, feel strongly about it, I don't do it. Perhaps something will resonate with me over the next couple of weeks, but right now the thing I feel most strongly about is either spoiling my ballot, or not voting at all.
