  1. If I were a betting man (which I am) providing the bolt pattern and centre hub match up up you'll be fine. You can typically go a little lower profile with no trouble, going bigger is a often somewhat trickier as it leads to rubbing issues.
  2. I can remember watching the air shows in Toronto as a kid. The Vulcan was my favourite. Sounded absolutely incredible and would break the sound barrier. Do they still do that at the air show?
  3. I've had my eyes to the skies the last few nights,1am, 3am, up late or up early depending on which way you look at it but I haven't seen any sign of anything. Moons been bright though at times, might ruin any sign of northern lights. Can't imagine the streetlights help either.
  4. Maybe the time has come (again) for a pick up with an incredibly tiny bed. Think Subaru Baja. Seriously, take a look at 99 percent of the trucks on the road that aren't in commercial use and they have jack squat in the bed, haven't had anything in the back all month and won't next month either. For what's it's worth I don't think that things that ugly, stick a hemi in it and a dodge badge on it and the same folks who are rediculing it would be drooling over it.
  5. You've summed up little lake pretty well. I still have a soft spot for it though. Vegetation seems to have changed in it over the past 10 years, not saying I ever experienced fantastic fishing in it but don't believe it is what it once was.
  6. Wow. Little lake is tiny and for the most part pretty shallow. I would of thought high horse power boats would tear it up pretty good.
  7. Props to anybody who's got an eye on his snowblower late August. I'm the idiot who waits till a mid December 16 inch snowfall before trying to extract the snowblower from the back of the garage that is almost guaranteed to not start or function properly.
  8. Nice. Splurged on a 300 yard spool of 80 pound braid to start musky season this year on my c3 6501 and managed a loop/snare on the first day of season so deep I can't make more than a 30ish yard cast yet can't for the life of me get the snag put of the line. Might have to cut the entire spool away for all I know. Enough to drive a man mad.
  9. Nice! Always think of believers as being primarily trolling lures, although I know they work casting too.
  10. Not that it seems to be a consideration but I picked up a 2017 TITAN, non diesel non XD, about a month back. Would've also gone with a Tundra had the dealership had any interest in selling me one. My MPG is horrible compared to the numbers I'm seeing posted here, I'm averaging 17.2 litres per 100 km over the first 3000km on the odometer. Mostly city, some highway and some towing. Hope to see an improvement as the engine breaks in maybe. Otherwise seems decent. Big and reasonably powerful although somehow preferred the throttle response on my old tundra. Haven't managed to run against a hemi yet, imagine it would be pretty comparable off the line. I think I would've been just as happy with a full size 4x4 from any of the other manufacturers though.
  11. Nice. Big fish for sure and I would have completely assumed you were south of the border if you were catching 5 pounders plus with any regularity. Good for you. Jealous.
  12. I've got 2 percent battery life on the iPad here, and no volume, so I only kind of saw the first minute but for what is worth, the world needs soft hearted peeps too. I'd never leave a fish to bounce around on the asphalt in front of kids I don't know. A lot of fisherman are just as crazed and belligerent as P3TA folk. I'll come back for the hate and to listen to the video once I got some headphones and battery juice.
  13. I believe the C3's with their lower gearing are generally considered to be more durable than the C4's. I'm on my second C3 6501, in my opinion they make a great budget musky reel, it may not excel at anything but it's reasonably well rounded. You can find a better musky reel for more cash (sky's the limit depending on your budget) but I don't think you could do any better for less.
  14. I've got a 14 foot sportspal square stern and while I think it's cool I'd say it paddles quite poorly. I have to admit I am an inexperienced paddler though, I have to keep switching from side to side to get it to track straight. Any kind of semi strong breeze is a real pain in the ass in a sportspal. With a trolling motor it's pretty good though.
  15. Bunch of nice fish! Haven't had the boat out yet and been blanked from shore but it's a long season, hope to hook into one sooner or later.
  16. In these parts you find loads of them in just about every road side ditch or culvert with a bit of water in it. i would've thought that would be your best bet for catching them as you could kind of chase them down, as opposed to a pond, marsh or bigger body of water where they can just swim away from you.
  17. Agree with everyone else! Finished lures look incredible, very professional looking.
  18. Sat out musky opener for the first time in close to 10 years, family obligations prevailed so it just wasn't in the cards. Spooling up the C3 as we speak and plan on hitting a few hot spots this evening. Life is good.
  19. I got a few quotes fo my house, traditional shingles averaged close to 7 thousand, metal close to 17 thousand.
  20. Beautiful. I'd never want to leave home.
  21. What did you manage the other carp on? Just curious.
  22. Thanks for the link. That's a pretty sweet pop up. I can't recall ever seeing one with set up with a front cargo area like that although perhaps I have and was just oblivious to it.
  23. Are trailers built like that as a factory option or is that almost always a custom home job alteration?
  24. I don't know if I can help but you should probably mention where home is.
