If your transom is 25 inches,you need a long shaft Consider a kicker bar attached to the big motor

I know the car manufacturing has been beating to a pulp I have a question if someone can answer Gm is currently heavy on TV adds,within the last week the Gov advised GM to prep papers for Chapter 11 by june. Gathering they are headed down the road of bankruptcy,why the push on adds and what will happen to consumers/warranties who buy vehicles during this last push for sales? I dont quite understand this and the gov is letting them advertise like crazy knowing very well if the boat sinks,consumers will be left without a life vest ?

another shot of the husky mix,my vet and I cannot figure out the other breed or breeds,possibly shepard Closest resemblance is Tamaskan

Try having a Golden, A black lab and a Husky(mix) They have dug down as deep as the water pipe,went through doors,broken every cd and dvd in the house,move sofas 6 feet during their wrestling matches But ya know what,they are always glad to see ya when you come home One piece of advice,make sure you got lots of bones The lab,make em retrieve as much as possible,burn his energy Golden,give em lots to chew Huskies.......... gets the dude's a harness,One I got she so cute, the devil hides inside She actually went through a door because I was not home,I found her comfort zone is having a cage for her while I am gone.She has adopted it like a safety area for her.When I found her on the highway in feb 08,she was skittish,still is so her anxiety turns to mass destruction. The crate has been a total relieve for her

looks like some OFNer's are working on becoming swarthy and chiseled

always an interesting question,do drive in OD or not I have always driven in OD towing,well 450 000 km later,I have to la her to rest Tybo I am getting another Tybo special edition horned truck May I use your logo design ? I think it comes down to what many have said in regards to cooling systems and allowing your tranny to work its way through the shifts without being forceful. I see allot of towers hammer down,I would suspect pre mature wear and overheating of the tranny would occur

If I am not mistaken ,the thread that has the most view is "The Day Of the Giants" The one with the mots replies,not sure,I have suspicion I could start it

Happy B day Wayne So that makes you Fifty None years old

Cracks were very solid in the morning and week leading up to our day Twillight,lets just say I followed a similar training as the coast guard not 2 years ago. I always get raked over the coals Thats why I am like charcoal,nothing left to burn well way,I aint into fishing those cracks GB,I caught sun

Hey TB,the ice actually came back together at 3 pm or so,so the guys with sleds and quads (3 of em) crossed over quickly as time was of the essence. The rest of us 3 others were asked to board the hovercraft for safety all the equipment was brought back safely If we would have been ordered to leave it behind ,we would have At one point ,it seemed as if the call for immediate evacuation was gonna be called but the crew on site wanted a bit more time to evaluate and see how the situation with the ice would transform itself Luckily it went in our favor Nothing but praise for the level headiness and experience of the crew and our ice fishing crew we were safe but no one could predict what the ice was gonna do my biggest advice *16 on your cell phones rick mercer's show

This happened a couple of weeks back I dont consider myself an ice fisherman, love reading the reports here. Always amazed at the distance some travel. I do some ice fishing every winter. A few weeks back we decided to set dates for warm weather ice. I have done a few days over the winter and the ice around Montreal was anywhere from 24 to 25 inches with some ice roads being as thick as 46 inches. We left early morning and snowmobiled out on the ice because accesses points are pretty much done for the year given the operators have taken most ice shanties off. Around 12 pm some friends of a guy we were fishing with decided to pack it in. As they got to the pressure crack that we crossed that morning, which is normal, pressure cracks occur throughout the winter around here. the pressure crack had completely separated with a 6 foot separation!!!!The separation was 11 to 17 miles long approx by 3 miles wide. Basically we were set adrift on a giant ice sheet. We packed our stuff and when we scouted the pressure crack keeping a safe visible distance we noticed that within 30 minutes of us getting the call it separated even further to 25 feet. At this point we figured best be closer to the center of the sheet and saw we had 2 options, either we will wait till later when the ice sheet re-settles or call for assistance. We decide to call the coast guard, within 5 minutes they where on site with a hovercraft. Soon afterward s a Heli arrives, with a naval coast guard ship sitting in the channel also. We board the hovercraft and they brought us on safe ice attached to land. It was a unique experience; we often read these stories about lake Erie and other places. The size of the ice shelf that broke off has never been observed by anyone who was with the coast guard nor us. It basically caught everyone off guard. I have always had great respect for ice and never ventured where it was un-secure. If there is one thing I retain from yesterday is, even safe ice is not safe While discussing with everyone on the ice as to what cause this,it became evident that the mild weather we had created allot of run off which was passing under the ice,given the ice is very rigid this year due to stable cold winter we experienced,the ice did not break close to shore but severed further out.the rising water cause the separation A note of mention and appreciation to the help and assistance the entire crews of the coast guard that were on hand and safety rescue crews on shore (fireman, police, ambulance). They did an outstanding job of taking care of the situation and seeing everyone was returned to safe ice One thing for those that fish or boat on navigational waterways which have coast guard presence or auxiliaries,on your cell phones *16 is the calling number to link with coast guard.It may change in other regions,not sure I would recommend you inform inquire about your regional number and have it handy on your cell phone memory One day you may need it The Canadian Coast Guard will provide your best assistance Just to make things clear the coast guard was in the vicinity so they did not have send out assistance for us,they were working in the vicinity,far away from us but we could see them in the distance Also this is the same Hovercraft Rick Mercer di a show on "The wabanaki" Few years ago Me and Roy met up with the crew one evening as they were finishing their day,what great folks and friendly they were with us that day also. I got to ride in it The Wabinaki will be sent to retirement in the near future after serving The Coast Guard for a good many years Here a couple of pics

Steve, I'll have you know the only word that has ever been banned is.......... steeples

Very nice RO

I think the standard should be Lew Oclock

Thats was my perception is that it was supposed to be invisible or blended with the water,possibly those properties are under water,might be a line color thing. The green lines seems to be less visible overall I just figure if I can see the line.I suspect the fish also,although I dont believe fish are line shy. Either way,its good line and like DNB said its thicker,so it has it utilities, when looking for a line that offers some lift to keep your lures higher in the water colum Its a tough as spider wire stealth

Hey Marty,ya I can remember that moment,best part is watching Captain Ed keep his boys in line! Good times and great laughs Dont be afraid ! Wayne,Your right I do get up early,someone has the turn the lights on for the rest of you's Lew cant do it all alone A.D,sure its Always Daytime I was gonna reply " I am in bed,YOURS!" Hey Ben,they do put together good tips GB,its called practice runs Your right about my ice fishing capabilities,I went Ice fishing yesterday,ya know what I suck It was a nice day and warm

go to bed.... Dude spring coming......... means only one thing False spawning runs

Just a heads up for those who like video tips on various fishing tricks and use of equipment The guys at TNB ,pete,gary and keith put together an impressive library http://www.thenextbite.com/videos
