  1. Comment from a senior insurance representative a while ago - Insurance should only be for what you cannot afford - or else when you cant afford it wont be there. As others have said Looks like the shingles are at the end of their life, and you would need to replace them soon to prevent damage - indeed some seepage may already have happened prior to this event . If you place a claim, it will go against your 4 year loss record. And the company will likely decline any damages that are not clearly the result of the wind damage. Maybe Steve will chime in - this is his sandbox.
  2. saddened to hear. His lust for life and bravery in the face of this scourge was awesome! I will never forget his "F*** CANCER" response when we first chatted on his diagnosis. May you rest in peace, and be lulled to sleep by the sound of that tug on the reel. My condolences to the family.
  3. Palomar at the hook should work - if the line fits through the eye twice it should cinch up good. I use the bloodknot for (most) lead-core to leader connections. But I am generally only using 17 lb flouro. The Albright knot would be another option Cool site in that it discusses what knots to use for each application. http://www.animatedknots.com/indexfishing.php I have started using the double surgeon's knot when I am on the lake and the wind, waves and looking up to check on boat on direction while tying the bloodknot is causing a carpet of swear words to hang over my head like a cloud of blackflies.
  4. Nice haul there Andrew. You certainly got better weather, and fishing, than we did where we were

  6. March - October: I fish. November to Feb I have the blues (until i retire to somewhere warmer) However, I will say that fishing for kings after a full moon on a clear night in July has proven to be a great way to wash lures for a few hours, more than once. Weather is a bigger factor for me

  8. show off nice one to start the year
  9. I find this one is right about 95% of the time - and when its wrong - so are all the others. Just be sure to select the super-forecast view, as it is often quite different from the forecast. https://www.windfinder.com/weatherforecast/grimsby_ontario Currently set for the Grimsby Buoy, but you can do a search based on the lake / area you are fishing
  10. https://www.facebook.com/ralphdegroot/videos/10158552964575277/ not sure how to embed this - showed up on my stream about a month ago. Its even higher now. crrrrraaaazy man
  11. RIP Greg Allman.

  12. sweet day - very cool drone shots man
  13. Jordan Harbour, this morning: a more typical view this time of year. The weather this year has been a real Hardly any opportunity to get out. Not seeing a lot of bait this year either ... 5 hours this morning only saw 1 bait ball. Sure hope things return to normal soon
  14. pump nose? i see walleye in your future....?
  15. nice. Can't wait till my schedule and the weather play nice together.
  16. That's what I did. Sent them USPS, no charge for shipping.
  17. love it, spectacular. G is in awe too ("You're kidding me, that's where he lives? and he has a drone. He's the only guy on the lake!-") he has the $100 version of the drone and drools every time we go into Best buy.
  18. wow - great outing, other than that little poke . Loved the opening drone shots too. I have hooked myself almost annually since I got the boat - either like you did or through other mishaps. I have now mastered the art of removing the hook with the fishing line wrapped around the embedded hook. Works like a charm and painless, even if the barb is deep - only issue is you need three hands, at least so far.I have figured a way to do it solo. Had a bass drive the middle treble on a body bait into my thumb once. He was still on the front hook. Every time he moved he drove it deeper. That was fun. Release it first, cut off treble, then try and remove. I was on a back lake solo fishing. After getting him off, I used the same version you did. Although I think my movie would have had some slightly more colourful words during the process. On the drive home my thumb started to turn red. By the time I got to civilisation and into see my doctor it was pretty dicey - top of the thumb was badly swollen and purple.It was so bad my doctor gave me his personal cell # along with a prescription for pills the size of a Smart car. "If it doesn't start to reduce in 24 hours call me." Since then, every time I get stuck by a hook that first bad one reacts a bit. I now carry a much bigger first aid kit and a general antibiotic every summer. And could you send some of that weather this way....?
  19. any day on the water with the kids is a good day - catching fish seals it.
  20. we have a few of these coming to visit us, but this.... beauty!
