  2. This news almost brought me to tears. RIP Jack.You will live on in the hearts and minds of Canadians forever.
  3. Oh My !!! The site of that old boat brings back such happy memories of dad and i way back when i was 10 or 12.Forty odd years ago now....sighi She is a Beaut for sure. Keep us up to date on hows its comong along.I`d love to see her when she`s finished Paul
  4. I usually pass my rod to my wife and ask her politely to remove the knot.She has far more patience than I
  5. Great report Collin Nothing beats getting on the water with our kids.
  6. Welcome Scott !!! Glad to have you in the group. Tite Lines Paul
  7. Nothing wrong with wanting to work Cliff.In todays world, the only reason to fully retire is if you WANT to. I agree that a life of leisure is not all that is cut out to be.To keep learning and keep active is important to a long healthy golden age. I own my own bussiness, and plan on taking more time off work, and letting the employees take more responsibility.But to just stop, and do nothing, is a death sentence, at leasy for me it would be. Enjoy the Golden Years Cliff, and work only if you want to. Paul
  8. Thanks Garry. I always look forward to your unbiased reports. I will take your advice, and stick with it for the balance of this season, and see if i can make it "WORK" for me. Paul
  9. Nice going Looks like you had them dialed in
  10. Very nice Lew Those are some beutyful fish. When i saw the title i read 12 foot Lakair Musky and almost fainted Looks like a really great place to spend a couple of weeks too. Thanks for sharing. Paul
  11. At least you didnt get skunked man! I caught 2 gobies and was slightly alarmed by the pleasure i got from sticking the freakin hook through its tiny gobie brain
  12. Great report and pics Joey Gotta love Brians shirt!
  13. A good time had by all. That`s what its all about.
  14. All yer missing is an olive and a fancy little umbrella Bob.
  15. Priorities Dan. Its all in how you prioritize your activities. Helps also, if you don`t have anything else to do
  16. Too funny...I like the Invasion plan 1. Launch Canadian space station "Bombardier1" into orbit. 2. Use space station to electronically destroy the entire world's communication systems, with the exception of the CBC, CTV, Newsworld, YTV, CanWest Global, CityTV, MuchMusic, TVO, BBC Four, and Fox on Sundays at nine o'clock. 3. Broadcast own political agenda and propaganda on new worldwide station -- Can-O-Vision. 4. Broadcast "Heritage Moments" and "Hinterland" spots every 15 minutes. 5. Invite Peter Mansbridge to execute the turncoat traitor Peter Jennings. Show execution on live tv. 6. Kill the VJs and crew of MTV and feed their corpses to the VJs and crew of MuchMusic. 7. At the end of every broadcast day, force viewers to watch a montage of patriotic video images, as selected by the Generals and including several tyrannical subliminal messages of sublimation to Canadian World Domination. Failure to watch will result in electric shockage from the Ever-Vigilant & Omnipotent (EVO) space station "Bombardier1".
  17. Take off eh.... That would explain your preference for Canadian beer, and your dislike for paying taxes Bob.Now if only you could make a good Poutine, you could come live here in Montreal and fit right in.
  18. I think possibly the memory issue could be related to spool size. Coming off the large diameter of the shipping spool, it seems straight enough. Loading a small diameter ultra lite reel may be the reason it gains memory.Never tried mono on a bigger spinning reel, so i cant say, but i have never found a mono other than Suffix, that doesn`t have line memory, and for me at least, Berkley lines have been the worst.
  19. Hey Dana, For whatever reason, Siege is a bit harder to find. Not everyone carrying Suffix braid, likes to carry thier mono You can get it at BPS. I have found Suffix Elite at CTC, and it is just as good as Siege, but only availble in clear..Siege is available in 4 or 5 colors.
  20. I think the idea of a `FLY IN` trip , is just that, an idea. We as anglers love the mystique and comradery behind this idea. Drive for many miles, unload your vehicules, weigh in and load up the small plane that will bring you to your fishing dream destination.It all adds to the whole`experience` Who cares if there is an old logging road, or private access fire road that leads to the camp What is important is that you and chosen best buds, have Flown in, and shared this experience together Anyways,for most of us city slickers, remote is anywhere you cant drive to, within 2 hours on a 4 lane highway As far as the MNR acting the way they did, well they are just lucky that it was Terry, and not some gungho kick butt yahoo, who may have thought thier plain clothed visit was an attack in the night. Paul
  21. Hate to tell ya Bob......but you are already Canadian. If you stay here for more tha 2 days, we enter your pores and invade your nervous system
  22. You guys make a great team ! Joey, enjoy your trip, RC ya better get started pickin up all that.....STUFF . Thats the worst case of littering i have seen. Makes ya want to cry
