Love it! After work fishing is the best. used to love heading out after a night shift with the pup from shore or in the boat. Headed out tomorrow for some bass and walleye, hoping we can get as many bass as you. Thanks for sharing.

LOL...the last time I quit i put on 30lbs in a matter of months, only problem is it did not go away when I started smoking again, so I can't afford to put another 30lbs on this time around....lol.

Good on you! I agree that a large part of the addiction is mental, however, I am loathe to ignore the physical part as that can be the trigger. I know there is a physical dependancy because of something that happened last time I quit. We went out in the boat with some friends for a day in the sun , fishing and a shore lunch on an island. Picture perfect day doing stuff we all enjoy with good friends. I was about 3 weeks into quitting at that point. Going across the lake I felt extremely edgy and agitated, this stayed with me all day, but I was just mindful of it and did not let it manifest itself and bring people down. When I got home i went to get in the shower and realized that I had forgotten to put my patch on that morning.....lol. So the idea that patches are just a placebo effect is not right in my opinion, because if they were I totally believed I had the patch on all day and therefore would not have been agitated at all.

Hi all, 1st 24 hours in the bag! I keep stopping what i'm doing every half hour or so and find myself heading to the door for a smoke...makes me giggle at myself. gave up for 5 years from 2011 and have been smoking for just over a year now. I smoked twice as much the second time round, guess in the back of my mind I knew i had to quit again soon so was hitting it hard before that inevitability.....lol. Gonna be a bumpy week, but feeling good about myself already, hate hugging the kid or wife after I have had a smoke, they do too! No standing outside in -30c either this winter with the mass cigarette butt clean up in the spring, just dog poop to clean up again...lol. I have gone the nicorette patches way again, worked for me last time. A lot of this is mental but there is the physical dependancy also, so I'll take all the help I can get, no point trying to tough it out...be kind to yourself is my motto. As for the cravings...well they are simply a feeling...feelings pass, as as time goes by the feeling of cravings get fewer and further between. The last time I quit I thought the hardest part would be not smoking while fishing, in fact that is the easiest part, and a good place to be because if you don't take smokes with you there is nowhere to get any for 100 miles....lol...and once i'm fishing i tend not to think about smoking to much. Even having smokers in the boat did not bother me last time, maybe won't invite them for the first week or so though, getting cocky is a warning sign of relapse. wish me luck!

LOL....not the exact same scenario but my wife and I say happy anniversary to each other a week or 2 before the actual date as we have BOTH forgotten it before.

Interesting stuff. Some European countries already have dates for a total ban on petrol and diesel vehicles, most notably Norway who's ambitious plan is to ban all new sales of petrol and diesel vehicles by 2025, ambitious but feasible. UK, Netherlands, Germany, France all have bans set from 2030-2050. It would appear that there is now a political will to change things, and so it is more likely to happen in my opinion. I have a truck that is in its twighliight years, and am thinking about getting an electric 4x4 for my next one as the writing is on the wall i feel.

Good grief, don't you ever do anything fun Bunk?

Thanks guys ! Thanks Rick, not wanting to rub it in but 'those days' are more often than not the norm for Lac Seul when I go. We went back 2 days ago and history repeated itself. funny enough the spot that we were on in the video was completely devoid of fish except for pike and bass. We searched all afternoon and eventually one of my spots kicked off BIG TIME, we were just about ready to call it a day but could not bring ourselves to leave after working hard to find fish, THE BITE WAS INSANE...we ripped through 8 dozen suckers in an hour and a half. I could not get leeches for the recent bass tournament I did with my son a couple weeks back, so decided to try large suckers. They were all the bass would eat, we ended up running out 2 hours before the end, we needed to upgrade two small fish but the bigger ones wanted the suckers, we missed out on winning a boat by a pound or so ....DOH! I guess it all depends on the lake and what the forage is, emerald shiners are thick in Erie, no wonder the bass key in on them. I hope that buddy you are referring to is me...lol...I brought 10 doz down when i visited with you and Harvey that day....lol...I left with none! Our bait shop here has a tank full of 12" suckers for the musky boys who come up in the fall, they either freelance them of under a large bobber i'm told. Love watching the suckers in the creeks, so do the kids! I'm a lucky sod for sure. Its a great little boat, goes 30mph with 2 people with the 50hp Yammy, rod storage, big live well (sucks a bit that its at the front) side and front storage as well as 3 floor compartments. Good fishing 2, a little crowded with 3 but very doable still.

Hi all, Been out to my favourite walleye hunting grounds a few times this summer. Took a buddy from way back with me a couple times too. Nothing fancy, just jigs and large sucker minnows vertically jigged wherever the fish were marked on the screen, typically between14' and 26' FOW. The bite has been decent all summer but is really heating up now.

Float bowl on the carb?

No lawsuit as far as I know, but I think their stock value crashed around that time. They are a very arrogant company in my view, and whoever is in charge of development and design is a moron, for example, the new phone app that replaced the old one requires a sign in, in other words to use your phone as the view finder you need wifi or cell service...yeah right, I have that in the middle of Lac Seul!

You have done them all. This was/is a common issue with the Hero 4s. I had a Hero 4 Black edition that did exactly the same thing, I bought the 5 year best buy insurance for like $60, they replaced it with a Hero 5 Black with a $100 gift card thrown in. I won't deal with GoPro customer service, found them to be unhelpful and obstructive, my camera was still within the warranty period for Gopro but decided to cash in my other Warranty and save a bunch of grief and time. I remember when I was researching the same issue you are now having that many folks who were outside of Warranty with GoPro were only being offered the chance to return the camera and receive 20% off a new purchase....crappy deal if you ask me.

Yeah, been out a couple times from the marina at Eirieau, we caught steelhead. I don't have a boat down there but I could easily sell that info to the boys at the trailer park....lol.

thanks Sterling, I have fished Erie out of Eirieau a few times, good fishing, even from the pier. My father in law has a trailer there, we visit often, already trying to work that into the plan when he returns. ME AT ERIEAU PIER VIDEOS.

me too, some good folks on here, already had a personal message about this, but the more the merrier!

Hi all, Just throwing this out there, fishing if you like. I am doing some respite work for a family in Hamilton with a young man who is originally from this area. I was asked to do this by the agency I work for because I had worked with this guy when he had been in care/foster care when he lived up here and because he shares my passion for the outdoors. He is very attached to his care family in Hamilton and so does not wish to stay here up north, but really misses the outdoors, in particular....FISHING. I won't go into details, but this young man has many issues, but when he is out fishing he is in his element and is the best form of 'therapy' for him. He told me there are very limited fishing options in that area. Whether or not this is true it is the way he perceives it. Walleye fishing is his favourite, but he'll fish for most things just like myself. I guess I am asking if there is anyone on the board from the Hamilton area that would be willing to take this guy out fishing once in a while when he returns. I have spoken to his care family about throwing it out there on the forum and they were happy for me to give it a try. The logistics of it can be worked out later, just seeing if there was any interest in doing so from our community members. You can reply on the thread or to my private messages. thanks , Simon.

I bought the guidewear bibs and jacket, it's the lightweight one so good for summer and enough room to put over layers in the fall. They were a lot of money for me but I won't say expensive cuz they have been well worth it.

Yup they call them Nitro worms here too, they are $6 a dozen, regular worms work better from my experiences.

I'm building a dock myself(finally)....just saying you might want to check the regs even if others have the same dock you have in mind, simply because they might have built prior to new regs, it's like that on my lake, no crib docks allowed as of ten years ago, so you see lots of crib docks but you can't build new ones. I agree with Big Cliff, if it's rooted to the ground you have to consider ice.

I guess my point was get a Lifeproof case for your Samsung. LOL.

i have a phonecase made by Lifeproof. They are pricey at around $80-$100 depending on where you buy it. The case is pretty awesome though, as is their customer service. I left my phone on the tonneau cover of my truck and drove off. The whole day I thought I had just left it at home. On returning home I searched everywhere and began to fear the worst. My wife hooked up her 'find my iPhone' app and it indicated my phone had 2% charge left and was at the top of our driveway. Found the phone but no sign of the case. The next day I found half of the case but could not see the other half anywhere. I don't blame the manufacturer for the case opening on impact as I sometimes don't secure it properly when I take it out to use with my drone, plus the fact that when I am near the top of my driveway I am usually doing 50-80kmh. I called the folks at Lifeproof to explain the situation and they said they needed both halves of the case for warranty but given the circumstances would do a onetime exception and within 5 days I had my new case, paid $5 shipping.

Lol, more likely I'll strike Trumpland 1st

What about a category for : Who has gone quietest since the political thread ban?
