  1. Just the thought of wearing one makes me itch. I guess if it was a deep freeze or something. Are you guys wearing these just to avoid a few Rays?
  2. I've never seen a Conservation officer in Peterborough in the 8 years I've lived here. Sometimes I've wondered if they do checks within city limits at all here.
  3. I think my ancient 14 foot springbok (prince craft) must weigh pretty close to 200.
  4. I've had 2 musky strike Senkos while bass fishing during very fast retrieves after giving up on the initial cast. Pretty incredible when you consider how little contact a Senko makes with the water as it skips its way back across the surface to you. Neither time were they striking in the vicinity of the original cast either, I caught one, a little guy, and missed the other, naturally the bigger of the two. Ain't that always the way? Bubblegum pink Senkos in both cases.
  5. I returned a henckels knife that I dropped which broke where the blade meets the handle. That replaced it free. I later tried to return a henckels which I chipped/gouged while abusing it, possibly trying to hack through bone, possibly a cutting board. I know it was something stupid and I admitted as much, not surprisingly I was unable to to make a warranty claim although I believe they did offer me a considerable discount on a new one. Maybe inquire with them if you liked the knife, you never know.
  6. They have a nice free zoo and tropical plant greenhouse building. If I remember it's down by the waterfront too. Loads of awesome, inexpensive and authentic Mexican restaurants throughout Chicago. Navy pier is a big tourist draw although I don't think it did much for me.
  7. I bought a pair of Baffin Titans after reading a similar thread to this last year. Mine leaked by the end of the first season. I was bummed, probably should've tried returning them. Out of the box they were great though, very warm but also LARGE. Go a size bigger than you would normally wear.
  8. I went so far as to get my m2 20 years ago. Every time I renew my drivers licence it renews as me having gm2, which is odd because I'm pretty sure that m2 expires after 5 years unless you do an exit test.
  9. It's over dude. Time to let go. Hibernate and dream of early June.
  10. Bulldog-Bullmastiff cross. Got her a year ago today. Looks tough but she's a real softie.
  11. Fished little lake here in Peterborough yesterday with a buddy for about 4 hours. One solid bite, musky perhaps, nothing else at all. Spoke to another group of fishermen who'd been out all day and had 2 smallmouth and a handful of perch between them. Lake was looking pretty lifeless.
  12. Picking up again in peterborough Lew . Should be your way in a minute.
  13. Good comparison. I think of big carp like hooking your line to the centre island ferry. I always think of musky kinda like lightning on a string. Short lived fight but a blast.
  14. How do catfish fight/pull compared to carp of the same weight?
  15. Seeing a doctor is probably a good idea, especially if your now thinking of cutting it off. You probably would want a professional for something like that, regardless of how dark rum or Sambucca you have kicking around.
  16. I dig spoons, always did. Funny how rarely I see anyone chucking them, although I don't fish for trout or salmon. I don't doubt for a second they work though. Just decided My next musky is coming on a spoon.
  17. Enough suspense building. Show me the money!
  18. Looking forward to it! Very few musky pics this year indeed.
  19. Is it just the tundra rumoured to be getting the Cummins or is the Tacoma possibly getting a diesel too?
  20. Awesome report! Still searching for my first of the year. Had one on a few days back but he came off. You know how that goes...
  21. Cool ride no doubt.
  22. Hardly a common problem. Never met an owner who'd experienced head gasket issues. Google search might net you a few but you can find fault with just about anything if you put your mind to it. And your just so good at putting your mind to it Bill.
  23. I love my first generation tundra. You can find some good deals on them occasionally, they don't seem to hold their value as well as the Tacos and in my opinion you end up with more truck in a similar sized package. Granted, they probably won't tow like a full size but they do alright. Mines a 2004, had it over 2 years and not a single problem.
  24. Nice! Been wondering where all the musky reports have been. Been blanked myself so far...
