  1. Imagine that it`s the summer driving season and the oil companies are pushing prices up!!! Judging by the number of gas guzzling SUV`s on the highways doing 140 km/hr I would summize that the price may not high enough!
  2. You do not have to take the reel apart, there should be a knob on the sideplate this will control the spool and there should be a dial on the other side plate this would be the brake.
  3. I am not familar with that particular reel but you probably have the brakes set wrong. Try this...Put your lure of choice on and press the button, the lure should move fast enough so that when it hits the ground the spool should stop spinning. Adjust the button on the side plate accordingly. Then set the braking feature to help prevent backlashes. I think you will find if you back off on your settings you`ll get some distance. Practice casting using your thumb as a brake most people who are experienced using baitcasters use their thumb as a brake. As well baitcasters may require fine tuning when you change lures or the conditions change.
  4. some folk have way too much time on their hands!!
  5. There is a lake access point just before Goreskis before you get to the first card lock entrance, make a left down this street and follow to the bottom. I don`t know what the parking situation is though. If you want to launch in the park they will charge you.
  6. LOL your asking a lot Rick! The last time the wife and I were at the Tire together back in April we asked a employee when will the garden centre will open and the answer I was given was in the summer!!!
  7. Well you knew that was going to happen didn`t you?
  8. It does not take a protest for me to avoid TO. LOL, Toronto has nothing I need or want you can keep all your protests and all your special interest groups! I moved out of Toronto in the early 80's and have never looked back, the fam and I are quite happy living north of the mullet line.
  9. There was a long discussion about this subject not to long ago it may have been Mike the Bass fisher that started it but I am not sure. If it were me I would stick it out in the trades, better financial prospects. Money is not everything but if you want the finer things the trades may offer a better chance.
  10. Good morning folks, I will be putting the boat in the water this weekend and I will be changing the fluids. I was wondering since I will not have a chance to visit my Yamaha dealer to pick up Yamaha oil will the Nautilis SAE90 gear oil be suitable for the lower unit on a 2005 F90 4 stroke? Thanks
  11. Very nice chair, I am no expert but to me when I look at the markings they look like they were done with a wood burning tool. The chair would make a very nice accent piece, I think that may be where some of the interest is coming from. If you get the right buyer you may get a good dollar for it. How did you come by this chair?
  12. Linda Ronstadt! LOL Amberley does an okay Patsy, imho she does a better Loreta Lynn.
  13. Nobody shot the kid down! I enjoyed the clip. And again I appologize if my opinion being different than yours offended you, perhaps we can ask the mods to enlist a new rule stating that all members have to agree with the Headhunter. P.S find me somebody that you think sounds like Patsy Cline and we`ll start this all over again.
  14. Met and spoke to Ron and Leo many times,they are good guys!
  15. Me too, I need to get out of the house/office and into the boat.
  16. No he does not sound like George Michael he sounds like Vince Mira singing a Cash song. You think he sounds like Cash I don`t lets leave it at that. Sorry to ruffle your feathers.
  17. I agree. I think you were looking for a snag or two with your first post.
  18. Who knows what Cash sounded like at 16! People are saying he sounds exactly like Cash and I disagree. I saw Cash perform in the mid 70's and I listen to his music almost on a daily basis and to my ear he sounds nothing like Cash. The above is my opinion, it`s okay that I have my own opinion isn`t it?
  19. The kid has a nice voice but he does not sound like the Cash that I remember.
  20. I could think of a several reasons not to visit Mexico this latest scare just confirms that you should stay away. If you can check out Jamaica, the food is way better than Mexico the beaches are great and the people are great. Everyting is irie in Jamaica mon!!!
  21. I assume this reel has a warranty if so take it back a reel should not break there. I am assuming you did not run over it with a vehicle or close your trunk on it. Curious how did it break?
  22. Obviously they want to sell you something if you don`t mind a hard sell attack they go and pick-up your gift,probably not worth the gas money or your time!
  23. Yes they are, Dave is the clear favorite in the Subway sandwich eating contest!!!
  24. You probably use more fuel in that hour than the average fisherman trolling with his 9.9 4 stroke uses in a month or so. Add to that that you are probably on the water more than the average fisherman. I myself have a 90 4 stroke which most of the time is over kill, I could probably get by with a 9.9 80 percent of the time so I am just as guilty as everbody else when it comes to wasting gas.
  25. I would love to see a totally green tournament how about we get guys like Dave Mercer, Bob Izumi etc. get them some 20 foot rowboats slap some sponsor decals all over them and let them go. I see it as a win win the boys would get some excersize and the earth wins with a little less pollution for a day or two. I would love to see a "blast off" in row boats I`d pay to see that. Of course we would have a St.John`s Ambulance boat on hand for any emergency that may arise.
