Thanks for the tips, I hope to give them a shot tomorrow!

Can't say much about iPad, but I know it's $14.99 on the iPhone. Worth every penny imo

I've been out many times with a guy who only fishes Gloomis. Sure he caught fish, but he payed over a grand for it. Complete waste of money when a fantastic alternative is available. Ever try an Amundson? You should. Don't waste your time at Wilsons, you will get ripped off. Do your research and you can find anything you want to buy for WAY cheaper.

Good stuff man!!! I've always wanted to eating a ling

A board member turned me on to Amundson after we met a few times for some fall fly fishin this past season. I tried out an 11" switch spey setup and haven't looked back since. I've bought several other amundson combo's since due to the amazing quality and low price. I wouldn't even think of buying an Orvis rod because it's easy to get Orvis quality at a reasonable price. Amundson is a Canadian company that is very popular out west. Don't worry as much about how many pieces, a quality, properly used rod shouldn't make much of a difference. Don't get sucked into an expensive GLumis or Orvis when there are better, cheaper alternatives. If you want more details I can PM you the details of the Amundson Ontairo rep to chat.

Brilliant! That tiny thing has some serious towing power haha

My post wasn't an accusation of moral indiscretions made by the people of OFC, it was a sarcastic statement about the lack ethical continuity when posts get locked, or even deleted.

Pretty tasteless joke. You never cease to amaze me, OFC.

I was out today on the bog with DMASSE as well. Tons of tiny perch, a few jumbos, but no crappie. Great day none the less!

Saw this on Sportscenter this morning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2al3rQx9FU Wow what a bone crushing hit, perfectly clean shoulder to chest. Welcome to the NHL kid! What I don't understand, is why teams are allowed to just drop the gloves and dogpile on someone after clean hits like this. I understand if your captain gets taken out by a dirty play, or in this case your future superstar you have to stand up for your team mates, but this is just getting silly. Best hit of the season for sure

You're right... There ARE way too many habs fans in Toronto.

This is completely off topic, but a buddy told me Lake Bernard is the largest lake in the world without an island... is this true?

Crossbows work too

A very sad day indeed. It hurts me to think about the family of that poor officer, to have their loved one taken from them as a result of such stupidity.

As Canadians, we hold ourselves to higher standards than playing into the transparent motives of some uneducated skid. We just laugh it off, hence why we produce the best comedians in the world.

I agree 100%. On the one hand, owners have huge amounts of money at stake every time their team steps on the ice, but hockey should, and must, be about fan engagement. On the other, nothing prepares the fans to cheer for up coming players more than exposure from the WJHC. I bet if fans really pressured their respective teams to loan out players for these 2 weeks (threatening them with loss of ticket sales), then a culture of support would emerge from management about the World Junior tourney. There are several eligible players that should be on this team, but aren't allowed to leave their NHL club. I still argue that Canada should be allowed to submit two teams, but the rest of the hockey world might be a tad embarrassed when Canada I beats Canada II in the final.

This is true in one aspect. There isn't a "Crosby"-like player on Canada's roster who will carry the team on his shoulders. The irony is that great players are excluded from Canada's world junior team every year. Either you are a phenom, who at 16 or 17 makes the team, or you are 18 or 19 and still playing junior hockey (It's rare for a competing NHL team to release a star rookies for the WJ's). Take a look at the stats for rookies that are tearing up the NHL. Take a guess where they are from On the other hand, this years team has been incorrectly labeled by the media. The TSN reporters described this years Canadian squad as a "blue collar" team, yet forget that this is Canada, the single biggest powerhouse in the game of hockey. Every year, with a "Crosby" or without, Canada will continue to produce a World Junior team that will dominate. Heck, we could probably boat 2 teams... dare I say 3? The blue collar label apparently relates to their physical dominance rather than flare. One thing is for sure, after a team plays Canada, they are physically weaker than before. By the second period of last nights game the Russian team was so bruised they were losing every battle for the puck. It doesn't hurt that 60% of ticket sales for Canadian games are by Canadian fans. Theres also a few extremely notable players on the Canadian team that I predict will prove their talent in the upcoming games. Look out for Casey Cizikas. Despite distractions outside of the rink, he's an all around player, and last night he was winning every battle and mashing bodies on the forecheck. Sean Couturier will go first overall for a reason, but last night he was pretty quiet. Foligno is a really smart 2 way player with the ability to put the puck in the net from anywhere in of offensive zone. We'll see what the outcome will be soon, but the American team is favoured in experience only, not talent. Having (I think over 10?) returning gold medalists is critical, but when you break down each player in their draft ranking, Canada is by far superior. Canada has about 60% of it's roster ranked to be drafted in the first round, and roughly 30% in the second round. The American team is reversed, with 30% expected to be first rounder picks, and 60% in the second. Every year that Canada has received a silver medal, they battled back to win gold. LOL @ the American team losing to RPI (NCAA) in an exhibition game. This is Jerry D'Amigo's former team before the Marlies. Last night was a close one with the Fins also.

Great stuff!

This gave me a good morning chuckle Enjoy! "Russian bear ruins fisherman's day"

lol! Too many trolls... You'll have to check out next month's issue of Wed Luxe Magazine. She will be on the cover We exchanged gifts with the other side of the family... I got 2 st croix ice fishing rods, some ice tackle and a new ski jacket. I am pretty much set for all my winter sports! Ada and I decided to splurge this year and we bought ourselves an HD camcorder. Fishing videos to come!

Santa brought me health, happiness, another year with the sexiest actress/model in Toronto.

Brown roe> Bow row> Salmon Roe> stuff they sell in little bottles I don't think you can buy it in any store, and I doubt there is a hatchery that sells brown roe. I caught a nice female brown months ago and the roe is still dynamite. good luck.

Santa!?......

If this doesn't get you pumped up for the upcoming ski/snowboard season, I don't know what will The link is safe. If you've ever skied or snowboarded, this will blow your mind.

The last time they played, the leafs dominated the first and second periods, but blew it in the third. That game actually stands out as one of the best games that the leafs have played this season. The score of that one wasn't the game story, outplaying a powerhouse team like the canucks, was. go leafs go
