Beats, my friend purchased some land here in St. Thomas that used to be gravel pits and had the MNR come out and take a look. I would call the office in Aylmer, explain your situation and see if they had someone they could send out to take a look. I know he received quite a bit of info from them as he is planning the same thing.

Nice job Jay I think he was fairly clear in his title of the post what to expect if you opened it btw - again, if you don't think you'll like it - don't open it. Pretty simple.

My brother moved to Rideau Ferry when I was 12. I went up there and spent every summer growing up with them. When the time comes to pull up stakes here, that is the area I will end up.

Great report GCD, thanks. I think that is the first 3some pic with nudity on OFC too

Nice job guys, congrats on the good day.

Hope all went well with the surgery Shawn and you have a quick recovery.

Great job Mike, thanks for the report. Beautiful looking fish there. Hoping this weekend goes well for you guys, best wishes to you and Kareem.

Congrats Mo, good looking stable safe boat. Enjoy.

Accudepth is grey Sealine is black - Sorry Gerritt.

Garry, sorry to hear about the accident but thankfully you and Buck made it there. Enjoy the warmth and hopefully all turns out well with the boat and insurance.

You're so right Wayne, just wish my boss was an OFC'r too and understood And largemouth, what is the problem - Wayne is good enough to give a fellow OFC'r somewhere to try that holds a trophy size fish and you have a problem with that?? Also, from what I have seen, Wayne is usually the first one in line when it comes to helping out. Just my .02 worth.

hola

No wonder one yearns to fish or hunt. It isn't about the catch or the kill, it isn't about putting food on the table or in the freezer, it isn't about the competition...what I have discovered atleast for me is- it is about finding peace in yourself, understanding the world around you, and appreciating what is in your own backyard Great report Jen, those words pretty much sum it up. Congrats too on the successful hunt.

Congrats everyone who won, have a great time.

Al, don't follow the NBA much but I will predict that they will do better and finish higher in the standings than the Leafs this season. At least there will be some playoffs this spring at the ACC. Now if the Leafs could find someone like Colangelo to replace JFJ...

Tried it once, apparently I was murdered in Alberta sometime in the 90's. Decided at that point to no longer google myself

yup

Thanks solo - what do you think of the lund floor inserts? I have a price on those but was thinking of putting in flooring using aluminum tube and plywood similar to what Gerritt did on his boat. Would not add as much weight that way and I had thought of using that space under the floors as storage. Do you have any pics of the casting deck you put in as I am thinking of adding that as well.

Having sold my boat this week and the dealership offering me an acceptable trade on my other it is time for boat shopping. I have picked out the boat - 16' Lund SSV but have 2 choices to make on the motor. Boat is rated for 40HP and has a total weight capacity of 995lbs. Given varying degrees of fluffiness during the fishing season I go through you can take off 260 lbs for myself leaving 735 lbs for motor, fishing partners and gear. The 2 choices I have are both new motors - 2004 Yahama 4 Stroke with 2 year warranty or a 2007 Mercury 2 Stroke with 1 year warranty. Both are 30HP, both electric start. Yamaha is about 200 lbs and Mercury is about 98 lbs. Price difference between the 2 is about $1500 more for the Yamaha. I have never owned a 4 stroke so am a little torn on the decision. I like the fact the 2 stroke is lighter leaving more weight capacity. I like the fact the 2 stroke is less money leaving more to outfit the boat how I want it. Based on those 2 things I am leaning towards the Merc but would welcome any and all advice you have. (I have already considered the lose 100lbs and get the 4 stroke but due to my ongoing love affair with all things malt and barley, this is not likely)

Great report Brian, good job in tough conditions. Going to miss your tourney reports - I really enjoyed them and seeing you fulfilling your dream. Especially enjoyed your reports this year of the tournies with your boy. Good luck on the boat sale.

congrats on the new boat guys - can't wait to see the reports from it.

Johnny, you might rethink this - don't the sponsors want you to wear their shirts during tournaments??? j/k - good luck with the sale and getting into the tournaments. look forward to the reports from them.

Hope the recovery goes well and quickly for you Phil

Isn't there usually some sort of poll that accompanies this topic though ???

Congrats on the safe arrival of your son.
