lookinforwalleye

Almost lost my brother-inlaw one time slipped into the hole while using the chainsaw, we managed to fish him out and he did hold on to the saw.

This why so many access points have been closed and so many no parking signs have been put up.

I can`t think of anything more depressing than watching Crappie slurp up Walleye fry in the spring so keep hauling Crappie out of the lake. Thank-you

perhaps they just need a rest from us chasing them around.

That`s great you guys keep haulin that crap out of the lake, the Walleye guys are grateful.

Waiting a week or so would be prudent for those who don`t like to tempt fate. At least they don`t have their vehicles parked on the ice yet, the Simcoe crowd likes to see 6" before using the lake as a parking lot! LOL Stay safe out there!

Your developing quite a cult following there Dave, better watch out for the groupies and stalkers! LOL

I'll tell ya you guys that live north of the mullet line wear some fancy digs, did ya git the little women one too?

High winds here in Orangeville, power just came back on. Sump pump has been going non-stop.

What rug please don`t telll me that was not his real hair!

I caught my largest bass of the year on a Mercer`s magic.

I may be wrong but I thought it was illegal to attracted fish with a light? I know you can use lights for smelt but for game fish?

Looks like a cool gadget I wonder how it would handle 20" of -20 hard ice. The thing that bothers me and it`s not only this product but many many others out there is the 1 year warranty imho it does not say much about the faith they have in their products. Ice fishing season is around 3 months long around here and if you use it 2 or 3 times that`s less than 10 uses and if it dies after half a dozen uses your on your own.

I am looking for one now as well to bad I can`t find find one, you would think living in a snow belt the dealers in the area would have lots of stock but every year they are sold out.

yes it does happen every year, people just can`t wait an extra week or two for safe ice and the sad thing is it is usually local residents that should know better.

I don`t see any Mercer magic in the collection, no Rapala collection would be complete with out a little Mercer`s magic. Right Dave!!

First off let me say I like North American vehicles and the four of them sitting in my driveway would attest to that. However I would never buy a new one the depreciation is just insane even with low finance,employee pricing or any other gimmick out there a newer used model makes the most sense. The thrill of 0% finance will soon go away when you discover your new vehicle has lost 25 to 40 % of it`s value in the first year and you still have 3 or 4 more years of payments. If you sharpen up your negotiating skills you should be able to get yourself a 2007 Dakota for 15 grand or so, let someone else take the hit on the depreciation. As a added bonus you will own it outright and in these uncertain economic times having as little debt as possible is a good thing. BTW I have a 2007 Dodge Durango and love it, my son has a Colorado and loves it as well.

Just what we need another must have lure to lie beside all the other must have lures in my box.

If you have a mortgage it could be a problem, unless of course you live with mommy.

Here is my take on it and I will be brief. If the big 3 as they are called want a bail out with public money I would suggest the first thing that should be done is to lock all the top executives of the big 3 in a room and introduce them to their boss I don`t know who that would be but someone who knows how to run a profitable business. The doors should be kept locked until they come up with a plan to create one automotive super company that can compete in the market place. This of course would result in plant closings and lost jobs but the reality in todays market is that the domestics need a major overhaul too survive, governments thowing a few billion dollars at them will not solve their problems. Combined the big three have almost 100 (give or take) models this is crazy there is just too much repetition, the last thing we the consumer need is 100 vehicles that loose money.

What`s this a new aftershave or something???

pitch it, you can get a 50" plasma for under a grand these days, you`ll love the HD experience.

Well after some additional investigation we have found that the current septic system is 40+ years old and the well is dug and not drilled so more investigation is required before an offer will be submitted. The regulations regarding septics has changed considerably since the 60`s so extra due dilegence is required here to avoid potentially expensive headaches down the road.

Thanks for the kind words everybody! If anybody knows Scugog then you know you have to be careful as a lot of the waterfront is more like weedfront, some lots are so choked with weeds you can not get your boat to your dock with out a push pole, the one we like is weed free with a solid bottom. I have never owned a rural property so I know nothing about septics,wells etc. We plan on having the house,well and septic inspected by someone who has experience with this type of property and I belive it is a requirement to have the well tested if you are going for a mortgage. I have spoken to some of the neighbors and they say there are no issues with the water. When we set out we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted, a lot of properties on Scugog are heated with either electric,propane or oil we preferred gas and thats what we have in this property. We wanted a lot with ample parking and a storage spot for the boat in the off season which oddly enough is not always available. We looked at a few properties that had little or no parking or storage. Over all the house looks sound and has been home for the current owners for 30 years.

It has always been a dream of the wife and I to own a waterfront home and it looks like we are getting real close. It`s a very nice home on Williams Point on Lake Scugog, nice weed free waterfront with a beautiful view. Lake Scugog fits the bill nicely as it is relatively inexpensive and still within commuting distance to the GTA. We are going to take a final look at the home this Sunday and if everything goes to plan we will be putting a offer in next week. If your trolling a bye a nice raised bungalow with a reddish brown roof drop by and say hi.
