I don't carve myself but Dad has been a serious carver for about 30 years, slowing down now at 82. He has a very well equipped work area and has always showed off his latest new toy and latest piece of work His main interest is waterfowl and birds of prey and he is a long time member of Niagara Woodcarvers. Here is two links local to your area that would probably get you off on the right foot. a local club http://www.canadiannationals.net/gvwc.html#CLICK_ON_YOUR_CHOICE_OF_LINKS_BELOW_ and a business that appears to have most everything you would need to get started and even progress a long ways in the hobby http://www.chippingaway.com/

I'm cheap. So it depends if you sidecast or wallis/pull cast. Sidecast works better with limper lines like Trilene XL , I pull cast and use the stiffer 10 lb XT Trilene, both available almost everywhere and at a bargain price.

Do you want to run off one rod or separate rods?? I had luck in the past with this release when stacking a second rod, its quick to place anywhere on the cable http://www.roemerrelease.com/catalog.htm

Something similar was my first thought as well, lot of people have spent time and money travelling only to have not done as well, gotta be sweet to have got those in the shadow of the CN Tower, bet there are much bigger ones as well given the access to deep water and that forage base. Well done

In my opinion, being a hunter where party hunting is legal and being of an age where party fishing was socially , traditionally, morally and legally acceptable at one time, this change in the regulations or enforcement of, not really sure if it was really technically legal but was overlooked as long as the headcount in the boat covered the fish on the stringer. It is one big mess!

think I've got a couple, a skunk and a green one, they look like a flatfish kinda with bug eyes? $40 for the pair

What are you looking for?? I've been able to find digital copies of vinyl LP's that were never reissued as CD's. People have gone to the work of inputting a turntable into their soundcard. Most often they will be .flac files " free lossless audio codec" but they can be converted to mp3's if you want. Legal sites like Itunes tend to focus on new and popular stuff, the more obscure stuff always had better luck on the torrent sites.

Very nice work, looks great I might of doubled up the clamps, one on each corner of the board could be a flexing problem, probably just over cautious on my part.

I've run a pair of manuals attched to a board attached to the oarlocks of a cartopper while fishing remoter lakes in Haliburton, never an issue even with the shorter arm riggers. I'm sure you will be using something with arms longer than thosse little J arms we had, If that's what you want go for it.

I actually have done better with fresher type baits. One thing to do with nightcrawlers is to take a needle and thread and run it through 4 or so crawlers and then wrap them on a hook so there is few loose ends, helps greatly with small stuff stealing the bait over time. Raw shrimps from the seafood counter are great as are traditional fish cut bait. Best however for me has been frogs, think you have to watch the species you use now, use them alive or dead and if they are too big, cut in half for 2 baits.

Some artists are trade friendly and don't mind if fans tape performances and trade, believe the "Greatful Dead" were the first to do this with a taper's section in the audience back in the 70's. Couple of sites that have a lot of legal free downloadable music are: http://www.archive.org/details/etree http://wiki.etree.org/ There are other sites that use torrents that you have to be a member of to use the trackers, they also trade what are known as ROIO's, "recordings of independent origin". These are audience recordings of concerts, recordings of FM radio shows and even DVD's of TV specials, audience recordings and broadcast concerts that are not copyrighted or available commercially. As a member of quite a few of these let me recommend Dimeadozen The Trader's Den Lossless Legs HungerCity and Pure Live Gigs google should put you to the Homepage of these sites should you wish to go this far and join Going to commercial and copyrighted material, I have had issues with the previously mentioned Pirate Bay, not with a virus in the actual downloaded material, but some of the banners, pop ups and ads seem to have issues with them, BEWARE!!!! I would try Demonoid.com first, don't seems to have the same issues there, it is a member site as well but will let you download recent uploads without membership. Hope this helps you or anyone else interested in music.

ditto on the House Finch, males are similar but look like their head and shoulders were dipped in raspberry jello. they are quite common.

Ditto on the Safari / Astro, I'd replace mine with a new one in a heartbeat if they still made them Tows my stuff well ( up to 3000 lbs.), lots of room for gear if you take one of the rear seats out, will handle all your kiddy seats and even the best one on the used lot today should be in your price range. Got a 97 with only 122,000K on it , keeping it till it dies, never had a majour issue with it.

Thickest I ever saw then was in Stoco Lake, fished there for Musky back when a chum was in the air force based in Trenton. Pods and pods were visible at high speed motoring just hanging lazily just under the surface.

D ) would look great with T-Top over it for those hot sunny days PS. don't get a bimini attached to the gunwales like I did, totally defeats the open.... walk either side of the console when fighting a fish.

Done the best with a float rod, larger than normal float and leader, egg loop on a stout hook and a big gob of fresh skein.

I read somewhere there was a accidental deletion of the .pdf or .html file of the Shimano rod and reel files. Pretty sure they are still available, been like that for a month or so on the website.

I agree, Coho and at 15 lbs a pretty good one at that. IMHO the best of the bunch on the table out of Lake Ontario. Good shooting , nice to have the option of a warm water and cold water fishery down that end of the lake.

Looking good, I had the 80's vintage Sylvan centre console 18' Rodmaster, very similar boat. Like the fuel tank up front, mine was always a little heavy in the rear with the starting battery, fuel tank, starting battery, V4 Johnson and 9.9 kicker all at the back, especially when 2 guys were setting riggers the water was close to the top of the spashwell. That fibreglass console with the stainless wheel sure is a lot nicer than the vinyl covered plywood one and plastic wheel the Sylvan had. Love the vinyl flooring and covering too, Sylvan carpetted everything back then, even the gunwales, looked good in the showroom but after a dozen years decided it was not the brightest idea. Again, very nice and well thought out rerig.

I think the bulk of the fish in the spring are spawners from the lake. If you want cats now, I lived in Port Rowan and Long Point when I was younger and caught cats up to 20lbs , 8-10 average, surf casting on the lake side of Long Point in the evening. Same baits, shrimp, worm balls, cut baits, couple oz. pyramid sinkers on 9 foot saltwater spinnners, rod stands with bells on and a campfire. I remember we got them right up to duck season and August was probably the hottest month, in all these years never have gone back to see if they are still there, but have good memories of a great times, best spot was down off Hasting's Ave near the old Big Creek channel. The bottom was all sand where we got them, it was quite a well known fishery at that time, sometimes a few carloads would come from Detroit and fish there.

When " Erie Dearies " were popular I hated the gold plated Aberdeen hook that came on them, used to set them up with a single and a treble trailer snelled on mono like a worm harness, worked well off riggers or a dipsy for Erie eyes, the weighted head was less prone to line twist than a standard worm harness.

Don't assume you can use your vehicle jack on your trailer, especially if the tire is flat and the axle close to the ground. Those scissor type jacks come in handy and are pretty cheap , collapse to a low height.
