I would think a 9.9 or 15 would do the trick. You have to take the wind into consideration as well.

The Ottawa River up by Pembroke will probably beat the old record set in 1960. Isnt pretty it rained all night really hard and more expected today. I am close enough to see the river at the end of my street. I am about 6 to 10 ft above  the existing water level. Im heading out shortly to the sandbag pickup at the other end of my street. Gonna fill some sandbags its all volunteer around here people are amazing.

If the lake is rocky find nice rock drop offs. Fish as light as possible a jig and make contact with bottom. I prefer to use a spinning rig light action 8-10 lb test. Drag on bottom, hop it or a slow swim back to the boat. They will tell you what they prefer. Watermelon or pumpkin seed my go to colours.. And scent them up.

You need to somehow attract dragonflies. They make short work out of deerflies.

I fished alot out of a Nitro Fish and Ski . My buddy owned one. It had a 150 merc and about 18.5 19.0 ft early 2000. It was a piece of crap stuff falling off and breaking all the time. He traded it in on a 929.

It only makes sense. A 500 million entry fee and a cup for that in the first year. Thats business.

Like I said before the NHL is fixed so is the NBA and NFL. Follow the money baby.

I have the same one. They operate at a cool temperature. Makes these smokers awesome for fish. 1.5 hrs is barely getting the fish warmed up. In the fall you have to put a cardboard box over it to keep the heat in.. Do your fish with the skin on. It takes about 8 hrs to do a full batch of salmon chunks with skin  down. I use about 3 pans of wet wood chips  2 at the beginning and one more halfway through the cook. Everytime you take the lid off to look it will take another hour to get cooking again.. These things cook slow. Sorry mine is the Big Chief, same thing just a bit bigger.

Peel it first lol Cut a small piece off the root end cut a X with a knife add fat and wrap. You will be blown away.

I think all pro sports is fixed. All about the money.

a dab of bacon fat or butter and put in a corner of the barbe

I do the whole onion wrapped in tinfoil on the barbe. there so sweet when done. I will try the soup and onion as well.

I haven't been able to watch a game yet but the hilites are good. This team is very deep with good speed Have you noticed the crowds. There not even getting half full attendance. Ah big greedy corporations have ruined another good thing.

A loaf lasts me about 8 to 10 days I am not a big bread eater. The thing is my bread has no sugar or oil or lard. Just water flour salt and starter. As healthy as it gets when talking about bread,

Oh for sure, No Knead is the only way to go. So easy and no mess.

I know my way around the kitchen, I cook a lot and really enjoy it. I recently ran out of things to do around here so I figured I would make some bread. Picked up the goodies at the store and ready to go.

Now one of the reasons I am trying this is because I like Sourdough bread and have a hard time finding it here so I will make my own. First off if your going to make Sourdough you need to make a starter, equel amounts of flour and water and feed twice a day for about a week till you have a bubbling bowl or jar of naturally wild fermented yeast, Made my first loaf and it looked nice but had the density of a brick, it went to the compost pile. Next day I tried again, Loaf number two was better but I burnt the bottom again.  Something not right, Get a oven thermometer for third loaf to verify oven temp, Now I know I have a hot oven but never thought it would be off by 50 degrees F, I cut up the second loaf and fed the birds and the third loaf I processed into bread crumbs, Next day I try again and BOOM the nicest loaf ever, so tasty and a nice sourdough taste, I have made the Artisan style in my dutch oven in the oven and it works perfect as well. I have made raisin and cinnamon bread for my Dad as well as regular white bread, Im done buying crappy bread fot 3,50 a loaf at the grocery store, My next experiment is a loaf of jalepeno chedder, It was a bit of a rough start but I was determined to figure this out, What about you guys, any of you make your own bread,

Yep there comes a time when we  all get to old to haul wood and carry by the armload into the house. I have been doing it since I was old enough to carry wood My stove is in my living room so its easy for me no basement stairs. I am 56 yrs old and will probably do it for another ten years or so. That's as long as the cost doesn't get much higher. This year I paid 300.oo for a full chord of red oak split and dried for a year and a half. I use three chords on average per winter.

I just took a look and I am missing about 1000 and change?

No Mexican brick weed here Rick. But it is good locally grown outdoor weed. The price is low because there is so much available I guess.

you will be old some day. Might be nice to have a helpful neighbour. Old Iron are you kidding me 1600.00/ lb. I spoke to a few people in the last week or so and 800.00/lb is the going rate here.

You would think these scum who arrived first would at least check for survivors first instead od videoing the scene.

Big Hip fan here. So sad that Gord left us way to soon. The bands first 4 or 5 albums are the best in my opinion. CBC is sure milking this for all its worth, i'm sure Gord would be embarrassed by the whole deal they are putting on. Leave the man be. R.I.P. Gord Canada loves you.

So cool.

Marine Harvest from Norway. There the guys who were run out of Norway for killing all the wild Salmon stock with that nasty virus. Same thing happening here now.

Its disgusting. Lots of politicians have had their hands greased on this one.
