backbay

heeyyyy, a little Fu Manchu perhaps?

I like just about anything he gets involved with, Roy, but those two first albums were amazing. He has a new project called Black Dub. Check it out: I'd rather go Blind

Gerrit I LOVE Tool, but not when I'm in the pristine Gbay. Here's more to my taste:

How's the ice fishing, Raf?

I use the original bags, which I in turn keep in bigger zip-lock bags. Works okay.

You're quite photogenic. Who is the carp holding you?

No question, $17 isn't cheap, but probably no more than it would take in gas, less the driving time of course, to go 'round and see all these guys, which none of us are likely to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Good for you Radnine. I went to the show, TTC'd it after 5, 'cause I live midtown, got some deals on the Powerpro, met some friends, saw some great gear, bought a few lures, and then went home happy. I don't go to the shops that often, so it was prefect for me. More to the point, I have no problem in supporting the independent businesses that make this thing possible. I don't want something for nothing, because I know these guys paid for it, and although nothing pisses me off more than paying 10 bucks for a beer at a Jays game, the JB's and Grimsby Tackles of the world are fine by me, because they invested in the show and took a gamble, and I hope it paid off. Good for them. See you at the show next year, Chris

In this case, I would Catch, Fillet, and Release.

Lew, if you decide it's not for you, Firefox is easy to remove. A few years ago, it was clearly better than IE. I don't know if that's still the case, because after switching, I simply never went back.

My condolences, Flex. Pass the lessons on......

haha, I had completely forgotten about "Barrs" Davey Crockett, Bonanza, and the Forest Rangers were my tv staples many moons ago.....

These vids are great, TJ; I like the guitar on this one too!

I haven't been in years, but will hop on the TTC and go down there, maybe Friday. The $5 after 5 is a pretty fair shake.

"I have 2 buddies who bought that Rapala line last year and it is the worse line I have ever seen, but if it works for you than it is a great deal." I found the stuff has the memory of an elephant, so I use it for backing..... 2 bucks, after all.

Noice! Thanks, Dan!

Beauty: Dan, where dd you get that photo??

I won't criticize Basspro for developing a model, working hard, and being successful. I distinguish between them and a Walmart, (or Eatons, who when they expanded into the west put lots of competition out of business). I bet the Morris family are as good people as you could meet. That said, I still shop at Lebaron's and my local marina. BPS happens to be well-located for when I'm heading north, and I think they've helped fishing grow. Service to me is about inventory, and if BPS doesn't have something, I'll spend that much more money at their competitors', just to reward them for it. That's how it works for me. And my kids like going there on a rainy day, btw. Chris

My girlfriend says it's bad. Very bad. Me, I could quit if I wanted to.........

Nice! looks like you get her all fixed up! How long did it take???? Cost?

What he said. There are a lot of times I'll wear the bib whether it's raining or not because they block the wind so well.

Muskie Must-haves? In Georgian Bay, time, and patience. Aside from that, a black suick, bucktails with orange, red, white, and black, but not all on the same lure, a top raider, and a bulldog or two.

It might be our game, but it looks like we've done a pretty good job of sharing it! Congrats to our, and all, Olympians. Brilliant job!

Looks like that lure snagged a troll

I haven't any idea what the Rapala Shift rods are like, but would love to know if anybody has checked them out. Nice choices on the reels, btw! By season's end, I'd like to have an STX myself.....
