  1. Just thought of another tip for these things. I use heavy duty 14 inch tie wraps to hold the bottom of the roof section to the lower cross piece, instead of the nylon rope they provide.That way you can tighten them if need be.Just cut them in the spring.
  2. I just bought one. Installed the frame last weekend, and will be putting the tarp on it on the weekend.Took me 4 hours to assemble the dang frame.When i take it down in the spring, i will leave the frame pieces intact, and just remove the cross pieces. It seems to be a good solid structure, but the instructions are difficult to follow.(translated from unknown language) After you build the frame(if you are following step by step) you have to remove the end bolts for all the cross pieces to wrap the door sections around the end frame. Get yourself some wing nuts and use them instead of the nuts provided.Comes with 2 anchors, you really need to get 4 more.
  3. Today is friday, the 11th of November. Only happens once every 7 years, lets go fishing !!!!! Dont ya love the way he says ''They were too small to take pics, only 18-24 inches''
  4. Which half do you shave, the top 1/2 or the bottom 1/2? Cause i know someone out there is gonna wanna know this for sure.
  5. I can just see the look on your face, and hear the words from you mouth as the line went slack.What a bummer eh?
  6. Welcome to OFC Aadil Glad to meet you. I hope to get up to Quinte next year.Those are some awesome looking fish. Paul
  7. For a minute, i thought i read "SHAVED" cats
  8. Thats why you never see mice and rats in burned out, abandoned buildings. I think its the flames and smoke they dont like,not the briquettes. Just sayin'
  9. Someone on the board mentioned those little ultra high frequency things that scare the mice away. I bought a couple for the house 2 weeks ago, and have not seen a mouse since. Up to then, i was trapping 1 a day. Walmart sells them 2 for 18 bucks. EDITED TO SAY just plug one into an extension cord and leave on, in boat all winter.
  10. The mystery is, how can something so dang ugly, taste so dang good
  11. Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless you all !!! and You too my Fav Americain cousin Mr Hauser.

    Welcome to OFC Theres a ton of world class Steelheaders in here.I'm surprised you only got a few suggestions. Must be a game on somewhere
  13. Gotta admit, around christmas i get the tackle bug, really bad!!!
  14. The line counter will not be my primary Musky reel. I have my Curado 300E which i will be casting with for now.Fact is, the person teaching me the art of Musky fishing, has discovered a successful pattern to catch numerous big fish at precise depths, at precise locations.As many have seen by his reports, it is a very successful pattern. I dont want to fork out a ton of money on this reel, since i will only be using it at certain times of the year, and only at this one location. But i want a decent work horse of a reel, able to take big hits, and get the fish quickly back to the boat. Hopefully, i will find someone else to teach me to fish them 10 feet from the boat and maybe i will have my Tekota by then Thanks for that video Roy, i love Pete Maina and hope to meet him some time.
  15. Thanks. I cast with my right, and the rod is in my left hand usually before the lure hits the water.I"m only left retrieve with my spinning combos.Weird eh?
  16. I'm looking to get a new line counter reel soon.Looking for something solid, reliable and that wont break the bank, or Santas budget. I have a Daiwa Accudepth 27LC that i use for Walleye.Its an OK reel, but i dont like the drag star on it.It loosens up without notice, and the seconds it takes to re tighten, have cost me a few fish.I have to keep checking it to make sure it hasn't come loose. I have been looking at Okuma Convectors, and Abu Ambassador line counters. I will be using it for precision trolling for deepwater musky next summer, so i want something that will take a hit.Has anyone had any experience with these or any other makes that may work for me. Thanks for any info Paul
  17. Awesome looking reel. I can imagine the $$ that it will cost.
  18. 2 words Vin.....Musky and Bait You know me well emough to know i'm kidding. seriously, cats are pretty independant, so keep it, and show it a picture of your ex, then slap it. After a couple of weeks of this, drop it off at her place and run like crazy
  19. Well said Bob !!! Bless you and your familly bud.
  20. I have a 4-fold hard tonneau cover on my Ranger Mike.It is a Ford OEM product and cost aroun 6-7 bills. It folds easy and locks open behind the rear window giving full access to the box.It is not water tite though. Something like Tomfoolery's i'm thinking.
  21. As long as you are not FINE, then its ok
  22. Thanks Bobby Good to see you are still out there being our finacial watchdog The way i look at it is, a buck left in my pocket, is better than in theirs.
  23. What a terrible waste of a young life, and what a sad thing to happen.An unfortunate sign of the times we live in. My sympathy Bruce. Paul
  24. Just one tiny error Art, it's not ONE of the best boards. it is THE best fishing related forum that i have seen. The fishing related topics have taught me so much, that i am a better angler because of them.The non fishing human saga's have touched my soul, and made me a better man.
