  1. my buddy had his rusted out frame replaced on his Tacoma. Had to kick and scream for a bit but they did it. practically had to rebuild the truck
  2. stupid question here - do any o-rings work, or are they marine specific and/or manufacturer specific?
  3. we have a friend with a cottage on the lake and I've fished it a few times. only had luck with bass. nice lake though, and boat traffic wasn't too bad - mostly water skiers/tubers in the middle of the lake.
  4. me. i'm a righty - cast with my left (and/or right - depends on the situation) and reel with my right on any spin & baitcaster. never realized I was in the minority until I'd pick up friends rods and realize everyone else reels in left handed. I also cut my food with the knife in my left hand and feed with my right. apparently also uncommon
  5. came across a video similar to this one recently of a bird downing an entire bucket of fish in seconds. ? crazy!!!
  6. Can i interest you in a 14' Sylvan? ; )
  7. love the vids. curious - what kind of camera do you use? looks like it's rigged directly to the line? are you watching it in real time while you're fishing?
  8. funny enough, just yesterday i stumbled on a youtube channel called "ladybass" - after youtube recommended I checkout one of her vids about bass fishing in Orlando. Here's one of her Orlando videos - I'm sure you can send a message and ask for some info
  9. Just fyi - i returned an item to CT on the weekend without a receipt. They used my debit card to find the transaction as proof of purchase.
  10. I use the natural charcoal starters mostly. 99% of my egg'ing is done on the weekends where i've got more time, so i usually cut a starter cube or two into a few pieces and spread it amongst the charcoal. About 15-20 i've got the grill on getting hot and ready to cook. Found this video when i was doing my research, but dont know if i'd try it -
  11. LOVE my BGE. It is possible to get it to cooking temp in about 15 - 20 mins - look for tips on YouTube. I get home too late during the week so it mostly gets used on weekends while my old gas Weber holds down the weekdays. After much research, i went with the XL and have no regrets. I'd advise not to go any smaller if you can afford it. Best thing i've made on it to date - grilled rabbit. Brined for 24hrs. Was incredible. I've also done our thanksgiving turkey on it and pizza (using the pizza stone).
  12. just got word that my father in-law will be giving up his license. they're looking to sell his Ford Escape (it's the 2nd generation model - probably 2011 or 2012). I dont have many details about it on hand, but can get them if you're interested - drop me a PM. I do know that it's in really great shape and my father in law is super meticulous about anything he owns. if i didn't already lease a new vehicle in Dec I would have snapped this up in a heart beat.
  13. Condolences to you and her family.
  14. during our walleye trips we've caught many monster SM (incidental) in and around the mouth of South River. they may move off those areas later in the season. South River is not too far a scoot from Callendar if you have the right boat for it.
  15. Amen. So many people are jumping on the 'help our own' wagon and most of the ones that I personally know don't ever raise a finger to help the homeless or the vets in this country. If you're on Facebook, i encourage you to check out the Humans of New York page - and in particular, the series of stories done on the victims of war and other mindboggling atrocities in places like Syria. It's beyond heartbreaking. The comments I read on news articles about the refugees coming to this country make me embarassed to be a Canadian. We are humans - help for all where possible. I would rather my tax money go to help these people than some one like the guys down my street who smokes a pack and a half a day, drinks like a fish, and in no short time will be adding to the strain on our health care system that I pay into.
  16. wow, a thread filled with how to use pirated feeds to steal content. i understand the frustration with the high cost of cable, but not sure if stealing is the right way to solve that problem.
  17. Question for Simcoe experts - my friend is launching out of Talbot marina tomorrow (rental boat) and is wondering if 20km winds will make for a hairy day of fishing? i usually only fish in cooks and will stay away when the winds get that high. thoughts?
  18. what he said^ some beefsteak strains are determinate, others indeterminate. try to find out which you planted to help with the advice above.
  19. that's a little ridiculous. you have every right to ask why you've been pulled over without having to worry about some sort of retribution. asking a question doesn't automatically mean you're giving them attitude. no doubt the scenario you painted probably plays out that way often enough with the bad apples in the bunch. and in that case, fighting it on principle alone would be worth it, in my opinion.
  20. Ah totally forgot about that. Did that for my first plasma, but not the 2nd. I remember it being important 6 years ago but totally forgot to do it with the more recent one. Both are set for auto-shut off after a few hours just in case the kids leave something up on the screen.
