Just heard some YARDBIRD (supposed oil watchdog) say on the Radio that Gas Prices will level to around $1.20 national average, but Diesel will continue to rise. GO Figure eh even YOUR alternative plan has been compromised.

LOL Ground Control to Major Spiel Ground Control to Major Spiel You Have Permission to Cast your Baitcaster with that 1/64 OZ Perch Jig. Countdown is on "Holdie says to Himself" Oh OH
-
How about this its CHEAPER Anyways what your comparing really is Musky Fishermen and Bass Fisherman against all other Fishing. Really, who would use a bait caster for trout, panfish, and 90 percent pickerel applications. Advertising has it that you ain't a Bass pro unless you can chuck with a spinning spool and level wind with those spinner baits and Astronaut suits with Shimano written all over it. I never have problems with a spinning outfit. By the way, I have four Bait casters and don't , I REPEAT, Don't tell me how to cast a Bait caster.

Lets see, surrounded by Pyromaniacs, with so called alcohol syndrome that dont give a damn about anybody's property or the law. No Cops around, only after the fact, Logging trucks zooming by with Golf size Rocks scattering in every direction, Does it make sense to find a trail to keep the truck out of site and out of mind, and LOL, SAVES ME ON GAS.

The Farmers out here in Sask have seeded for the most part, but are unable to fertilze due to freezing Temperatures at night. Only had two calls for Grassland fires this Spring

For you Ill answer your Question. Warrant officer from Pvt. not an RSM but at least past SGT. Never thought Id get past Pvt with all the troubles I was into. Especially when I sat in a Marine Jail cell in Fort Bragg/well being Canadian. You know, drinking and fighting. I always worked Hard as well as played Hard.

Ive always been a doer and not just a talker. That's why I did really well in the Military and most things in Life. However there is one thing that is depressing me to no end because there is nothing to do but feel Robbed and Cheated. Today and within a few hours Gas will go up 4 cents to $1.09. What? 0only $70 dollars a Barrel. Lets compare to Last year. $130 a Barrel and $1.21 at the pumps. THIEVES!!!!!!!! If anybody, anybody has any good Ideas on stopping this Thievery let me know. Mcteague as far as Im concerned is nothing but a Speculator and Press Agent for the companies

That Ball Idea sounds really good. Umf , no need for padlocks

Read your instructions on how to adjust the Brakes. And yes, in this case as many. Practice will make it Perfect. Tidbit- Don't worry about backlash with Baitcasters as it is normal. I see the TV Pros with the Bill Board hats/Jackets/Pants/Boats all the time pulling line from the reel after a cast. Those are the shots that arent edited out.
-
Don't forget All Round and Versatile- Spinning In a Canoe- Spinning Back Packing- Spinning First fishing Reel to start- Spin Cast or Spinning If only one reel to Bring -Spinning with extra line size spools Bait casting- overrated and over Priced for us non- Professional/Purist types that do all around fishing and out door activities..

On My Canoe at the Bow and Stern, there is a Metal Plate that attaches a cord to it. You can rig a Light Chain or SWR Cable that will Lock, or go through the Rope Tie on the Canoe. Lock the other end around your Bumper or tow Point of your Car. When your car is sitting the Idle. Ive caught big Musky in a Canoe, and as long as you got Drag, dont worry. You can also set the rod down with Drag and Canoe out of Danger then play the fish. Otherwise, whats more important.
-
Answer to Question 1. Let the fish take Drag/You/ or anchor 2. What??? I dont understand. Do you mean when you store it at home and because you have no place you want it on your car permanently? Otherwise you take your chances unless you can loop a chain around the canoe somehow and lock to yout bumper.
-
Yup and I will stand up to what I say. Thats why they look like walking Bill Boards when they go fishing. And they will use inferior Expensive equipment if it gives them money. Of course to lure you Charles, the Consumer to buy the product. Just because Bob uses Yummy doesnt mean it really out catches fish that swim.

Got a 99 Ford Ranger v6 Gas Guzler Over 80 Kms an hour on a Gravel Road your life is in Danger In the Winter, your life is in Danger Oil Leak in Oil Pan at 90,000 Kms- Thats disgusting Ive spent and Spent changing Sensors, 4 time and counting. Low to the ground Wheels slip on a bit of angle at a Launch site ITS A FORD so I dont Trust it. Bought CAA just because of that fact. Next truck would be a small Toyota, or Mazda 4 Cylinder. The Bigger Rangers are Fords, the smaller ones are Mazdas. Get the Mazda Engine.
-
Agree 100 Percent. Bait casters way overrated. People buy them because the pros use em. but they get them for free. My Bait Casters when used are for trolling. Advantage- Holds more line, Balances better with a Bigger Rod, no Line twist to wory about. Disadvantages- Uncomfortable, Casts are weaker and more prone to Tangle. Drag system sucks, Not as smooth. EXPENSIVE and Breaks more often Oh- If I was ever going to use a 16 Oz Jig, Id invest in two Spinning Reels with one heavier. Cheaper than one Baitcaster. Way Way Overated. Its Marketing and sucker fishermen.

The Environment Tax grab. Lets see, I goes to Walmart and Buys a TV plus environmental Fees. I take my old TVs to the Dumps and they charge me Dump fees to Bury it. Ok, how come I just paid an Environmental fee. Where did it go, to Whom, To What? Ah maybe the Arts! -

No, why dont we complain about Arts Funding to make Quebec and Liberals Happy instead of monies to victims of Crime in the next election.. Like I said. Tax cuts and Let ME RESTORE THE ECONOMY with MY MONEY Edit: I've taken the liberty of correcting the spelling of one of Canada's provinces. I hope it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings. Roy -
You call that poor excuse for a Stanley Cup, A GAME! Pretty bad I had to Rush back from Fishing and watched 10 Minutes of Garbage. Oh Well at least it gave me time to get drunk and watch my Black Sabbath and ZZ Top DVDs.

This guy did an Amazing Speech. Please listen. It felt good being Canadian. Am I allowed too, or is it not politically correct? http://watch.ctv.ca/news/latest/rememberin...day/#clip180430 -
Well I figured I would try another back lake this weekend. This one looks more promising than Fish Lake as I know there are Jack and Pickerel in Otter Creek. Just below the Picture where I drew an Arrow is a widening of the creek which the Lake has no name would be my destination. There is a really good ATV trail going in of which I knew about through my snowshoe recce in the Winter. Good time to test my latest project. My Canoe Cart. Time to load the truck at the Trailer My destination is about 20 Minutes South West of Big River on the Logging Road that goes to Leoville. What I will do is hide the truck off the Road to a spot that is a Mile from the Tail entrance. Best I keep the truck out of sight and out of flying stones. Ole Spike sure came in Hand with his Energy. He loved the exercise. Once at the Trail entrance I re Balanced the Canoe to take the weight off my hand. I would pull it rather than pushing it for more control. Next time I do this Ill bring a saw to clear the trail more. As I got a glimps of the lake I got excited on what could be in the Lake. I also noticed that the shoreline had rocks which is rare in these lakes. Also the water was calm, great for trolling, and the scenery was spectacular. Also I was the only one on the lake. Excellent feeling. Within 5 minutes I had a fish on. I was using a light Shakespeare outfit and a Jointed Rapala and got the fish to the Canoe but lost him. It fought like a nice Walleye I thought. Too Bad. Then Five minutes later another fish but this time I got a glimpse of green. A Jack I thought. Then I would paddle and got nothing for an hour till I paddled back to where I first started and got hit after hit. The lakes deepest spot was about 20 feet with an average of 16 feet. My Hits were small Jack but good fighting on my light gear. The Dog better not get too close to that fish or lure Finally I got into a good fight and a meal I would try some frozen Minnows on a Pickerel Rig which something cleaned both my hooks before heading back. As luck would have it, I have bad luck with wheel Bearings, so why not the Bicycle wheel on the Cart also. Anyways what do expect from the Dump.

They are Pissed. They Blame Central Canada, (Ontario), The Opposition Parties, and Basically feel they're nothing but second rate Canadian citizens and the Prime Minister is being forced to do this as a Minority Government thanks to you know who. Its just not the Forestry workers either. Its 95 percent Westerners except Vancouver. Pretend your a Westerner and turn on CBC. You might see what I mean. -
Dawg, You just want to show off those big fish compared to my minnows, and of course your upper Torso. Just like Randy on the Trailer Park Boys.
