Yes, really only have seen over/unders with a skeet II barrel, typically only used for the second shot on doubles and it is a bit tighter as the 2nd shot is usually farther away.

Yeah but he is going to use a smooth skeet choke.

It will be fine, just get some of the old style foster hollow base slugs, with out a rifled barrel the new sabotted style slugs are not used.

To be honest, I've always found the area of the pics better for browns than east of Grimsby, maybe in a little tighter than the pics appear. Even shore casting there better than the now famous pier, the pier for me seems to have a lake trout jinx East seems to be better for spring kings though, out deeper than you find the browns though and look for structure.

Nice fish , but a "guide service" he said he was east but the pics look like west of Grimsby . Surprised the pier is so empty

Same tour I saw Dave, only in T.O. they did a lottery for tickets at the extravagant sum of $20 each I recall. They did 2 shows Jan 74. at the old Maple Leaf Gardens.

Ditto on the thumbs up for a Liberty, got a 2006 with 52,000 km on the odometer a little over a year ago. Tows my 3500lb capacity landscape trailer with a yard of topsoil just fine and a 18 foot aluminum with a V4 fine. It is rated to tow 5000 lbs , realistically 3000 would be my personal max. Price was right and like others have said it is a real 4 wheel drive compared to others in its class. Gas mileage, well being retired I really didn't care as I'd be lucky to drive 10thou km a year now, but it don't seem any worse than the GMC Safari it replaced. Someone else got a 2006 CRD Diesel Liberty same time I got mine, think it might have been Terry, could be some fuel savings with that model.

sadly another of one of the greatest bands of all times has passed, saw them once, back in Jan 74 with Bob Dylan at the old MLG on Carleton, a concert I will never forget <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eOi0tC00Luc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Lived a 5 minute walk from that pier for 28 years and that is the best brown I've seen taken from there. The marks on that bow, I'd say you are correct, talons from a Eagle or Osprey, probaby too big for it to make off with but sure left a mark

For sure make certain you are getting the Ostrich Ferns for your fiddleheads, the ones that grow along the creeks, not the Brakens that are found on higher ground. Braken ferns are actually poisonous and a known carcinogen.

Exactly, when starting from a stop when I hit the throttle I have the engine tucked down to keep the bow down as it comes onto plane, when it gets on plane there is considerable pull to one side in the steering wheel, but then trim the motor out and there is a sweet spot where the steering torque is neutral which also seems to coincide with max rpm and speed. I would try moving the cross pin that controls the trim out a notch or 2 and see if that helps.

Nice fish , this outfit could probably point you in the right direction for reporting the tag. http://hhoa.on.ca/hatchery/stocking

The tilt and trim system looks very much like my old V4 OMC. 2 short throw cylinders for the trim and a single long throw for the tilt. At full tilt position I have a spring loaded lever that you flip down and you warned to slightly lower the tilt so that this bears the weight of the engine rather than the hydraulics, also you are warned not to operate the engine under power with the motor trimmed past the full extension of the 2 trim cylinders, just saying this is how my manual reads. As far as the problem goes and I am no hydraulic specialist, I wonder if somehow maybe the system has got some air into the cylinders, air being compressable and fluid not it could produce the symtoms as related here, maybe operated with low fluid and air was injected into the cylinders, anyone know if this system is self bleeding or how to bleed it, could be worth a try.

Thems are what my dad used to refer to as "sowbellies" nice haul. If they came from where I assume they are pretty much unreleaseable, what the pics don't show would be the swim bladders in their mouths. Also ,I fished Erie from the late 50's till now, 60's it was in decline, 70's it was dead, rebirth in the 80's, pretty much the fishing has never been better than now in my lifetime on Erie, don't sweat the sport angler keeping a few fish on Erie, the gill netters don't practice catch and release either.

There is the upper Niagara too, that is producing walleyes as we speak. A shallow inshore fishery exists at this end of Erie that seems to start b4 the typical suspended fish offshore Erie walleye pattern in late May early June. This end typically produces better earlier and by August you need to move west.

wrap'em around a pool noodle

30 years ago, closed faced under the rod spinning reels were quite popular on float rods, the best of the bunch were Abu's like the 507 and 506 or Shakespeare 1810's. Might be a good option.

give it a try if you want, yesterday the waves were breaking over the pier at the mouth of Forty Creek, wind has died somewhat you might get on it.

Those nor'easters yesterday made complete mud of the inshore water fo a long ways out.

Muzzleloaders are legal in controlled southern Ontario hunts

I shot the first southern Ontario controlled hunter number shotgun hunt in 76 or 77 , back when shotgun slug technology was pretty much the antiquated Foster type slug in your favourite bird gun. Since the start of the controlled hunts, muzzleloaders have always been an alternative to a shotgun and at that time a far better choice for accuracy and range. Slug gun technology has come a long way since then but 35 seasons and a lot of deer later I have never regetted sticking to the old smokepole, just another option few consider for the southern Ontario deer hunts. Why hunt with a shotgun when you can use a real rifle

Another forum??? maybe the shopping channel why did my sick mind immediately think of this advertisement <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HQaF3_Kat_w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Your fine following the previous recommendations, an I/O I'd be nervous.

Is it an outboard or an I/O?

Grab a high density shooting taper/head, for the 8 wt it will be about 240 grain 30 foot section of line with a loop on the back, use about 100 feet of 20 or 30 pound mono as a shooting line between it and your backing. Best way I know of to effectively fish 20 foot depths with flygear.
