Right on. Nice to see the life jackets too.

Cant wait too. Spooling up a few reels tonight, figure I'll limit myself to maybe a dozen baits and try them in earnest. I'll be on Chemong most likely, if anybody sees a 14 foot camouflaged eyesore, say howdy.

Holy Smokes! I've got to know if this is just a local thing or province wide but man, I don't think I've ever seen so many. My backyard is plagued by them. I mean droves of them, front yard too. To the point I don't even like to leave the dog out. Can't be just my part of Peterborough either, as I was in Ennismore this evening and there were loads there too.

Make a real effort to figure out how there getting in and out or you'll have an ongoing problem regardless of what you do with this one.

No rope or twine caught up in the blade? Worth double checking

Im thinking probably the Marlin, although I'm not overly picky. If you had any prices in mind shoot me a pm.

Buyers need a Pal for sure, technically I think you might even need one as the seller. You don't want to go carting them around in your trunk or anything. I might also be also interested in one of the 22's.

I sure did! Thought it was an earthquake or a tree falling on the house! I went outside to see what was up but there was nobody around to ask if they had heard or felt anything.

I ordered one yesterday , for a 98 evinrude 9.9, it was 53 dollars from Gateway motor sports in peterborough, (I think that's what it's called) they should have it Tuesday. I'd thought about ordering one online but once you factored in shipping and wait times I didn't really see any advantages. I need one for an old 6 hp Johnson too, let me know if you find a good place.

I feel I should add that while it's ok to be human and none of us are prefect, Ford has really played that angle to death. We can, and should, expect our politicians to be both competent at work and role models in their personal/public behaviour. Being a good guy who's lousy at his job or lousy guy who's good at his job just doesn't cut it. I know people who are good at both, they often go hand in hand, most likely everybody does. It's ok to expect more from somebody representing your city, being mayor is a big deal!

Agreed. Was looking like quite an entertaining list.

Felt I should update. Spoke to Tyler at the store on Tuesday or Wednesday and received my reels back today(3 days later). They look good and appear to be functioning well. Overall wait seemed a tad long but I'm still happy.

I bought a cheap POS for 25 bucks from the side on the road. Never regretted it for a second; think I've ridden it 3 or 4 times since I bought it. Suggest you do the the same, if you find your actually using your bike regularly then by all means by a fancy smanchy 1000 bike and coat yourself from top to bottom in spandex.

The whole "how would you like one in your back yard?" Thing comes up time after time and you've gotta make a distinction that the average city dweller isn't sitting on 100 plus acres. Naturally no one wants one close to their house.

I used to tie my own hair rigs when I first got into carp fishing, then at some point I got lazy and just started using a circle hook and egg sinker. I can't say I found my success rate suffered at all. Might be a different story if you're fishing carp that see a lot of angling pressure.

I've got an identical motor I believe, but a game fisher 1.2. I think they were also sold under another name as well. It's my understanding that certain parts are no longer made for these motors and others are difficult to find. Air cooled which is pretty cool though...

Thanks Andy. Cliff, thanks, I'll try an email I've got and we'll see if that works. I may be in touch with you prior to Monday morning.

I do mean Rockys in Orillia, yes, thanks. Guess I'll just have to be patient. Perhaps I've just been phoning them while they are away from the phone or something.

I've heard good things about these guys So I sent in a pair of reels 2 monthes back for service. Now I find I can't get through on the phone, sounds like I'm dialing a fax line after about 10 rings. Anybody visit this store or pass by it that could maybe give me a heads up as to wether its open or not. I'm getting a bit nervous, had hoped to have my reels back by now as one only needed a pawl. Heard all these good things about shimano service lately, this seems like a pretty lengthy turn around time by comparison...

Cliff, really enjoying the reports. I'd like to think that someday I'll be doing something similar. Keep em coming! And you ain't missing anything weather-wise in our neck of the woods. Thanks

Cider is cheap and relatively easy to make something both potent and palatable. You can turn cheap store bought apple juice into cider providing it dosen't contain preservatives. Citric acid is fine. Got completely wasted just over a year ago on my first batch. Wife shut down production after that...

You a lefty or a righty? A real good reel for the money, although no longer the flavour of the month are the Quantum Cabos. You can still get em brand new on Ebay for as little as 100 bucks sometimes. I got mine without the clicker for 80 if I remember correctly. Durable, smooth, semi low profile. Heres one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-Quantum-Cabo-CBC31PTs-Left-Handed-Baitcast-Reel-WideSpool-Baitcast-/380716265861?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a4753185 Just an example. I didn't bother reading to see if they'd ship to good old East York. I grew up there.

"duke walleyes" is this a typo or some kind of terminology I am unfamiliar with? I like it either way

Thank you sir

Thanks for all the replies guys. Didn't see anything resembling a serial number when I looked at it, maybe I just need to take a more thorough look. Not a fan of these motors, or just figure it'll get bashed to hell on that trailer?
