  1. This Amazon.ca seller has a good selection , pretty reasonable https://www.amazon.ca/stores/M+MAXIMUMCATCH/page/F90FD9D1-B836-4A3A-859B-594B0A437937?ref_=ast_bln
  2. Next pro bass tourney let' em start 10 miles from the launch ramp and boats on a trailer, could add a whole new element of excitement to the tourney
  3. That is really cool, they are every bit as unique as the Auroras, perhaps even more so.
  4. Dollar Store pool noodles , closed cell too .
  5. I believe as migratory birds they require a Migratory Game Bird Permit and steel shot, definitely no rifles and the same rules as ducks and geese as far as shooting from a power boat, motor off and fully stopped.
  6. Another of my 60's British Blues guitar heroes passed in his sleep a few days ago, RIP Peter , one of the founders of the real Fleetwood Mac . Santana got a lot of airplay covering this Peter Green tune
  7. The torque of the motor naturally causes a boat to lean to the left/port under power , that is why they are set up with the driver's seat on the right /starboard to offset this, does it level out under power ?
  8. 7 foot swells aren't bad until they start to break on top 🤣
  9. Once my parents has a small nest above their back door, they didn't have any hornet killer so I used Easy Off Oven Cleaner, worked just as good. It was years back so maybe it is not as caustic today.
  10. Didn't get their number
  11. seen somewhere it said the spread of the coronavirus is dependent on two factors : 1: How dense the population is 2: How dense the population is
  12. Probably Chokecherries this time of year
  13. Back in the day , I just got a seasons pass for 50 Point, they are still listed for $115, I was going out twice a week back then, weather permitting, so it paid for itself by May 2-4 weekend and I ran all summer out of there even crossing to the mouth of Bronte as it was only about 8 miles. If the pass still includes launches it works out pretty cheap.
  14. I recall the Port Dover fire dept had to bring out the pumper truck years ago to wash down the hill out of town so cars could get up it was so slick from squished bodies.
  15. Hatchery Frankenfish shaped like footballs, thought got rid of that broodstock years ago.
  16. I cheat with ribs, a few hours in the fridge with a dry rub, 22 minutes in a pressure cooker with a can of Dr. Pepper, sauce them up and a few minutes on the gas grill to camelize the sauce 🤣
  17. I've rarely seen a bow bigger than that in any great lakes trib after the spring spawning run, that is about the size when they smolt and head for the big water, actually, they do that about this time of year so probably most will be gone in a few weeks.
  18. I only buy the back , I find them better than side ribs, usually here, the sides are cheaper $1.99 a pound on sale while a good sale price for back is $2.49/.99. Sides here usually have a funky piece of breastbone attached.
  19. Even used a wooly worm fly a foot or so behind a hookless Williams for trolling spring Specs.
  20. I'd tie them with a second hook facing up as a stinger , dodger fly was the hot setup 40+ years ago when Lake Ontario was Coho fishery. Blue zone ( but that name evolved later ) 20 feet down, Red Luhr Jensen dodger blue Jonsfly , six feet behind the ball , Cohoes all summer until they stacked up at the mouths.
  21. What about galvanized ?, that black pipe is just cold rolled steel, little corrosion resistance.
  22. Don't get hung up on that Dry Fly purist mentality, I caught more and better fish using simple wet flies , streamers and nymphs.
  23. Wife and I went to see Joe back in Oct 2008 at a 400 seat venue at Brock University, under a c-note for a pair of tickets with a meet and greet after, nice guy and great show, he is out my snack bracket pricewise today
