  1. Not a banner year for me.

     

    I don't bother with worm harnesses during the tournament as I know I could catch more.Not many large fish caught this way but it does happen.

     

    Barely slept all weekend fished and fished and fished.

     

    Only managed to catch a 3 lb eater and a wee 3 lb pike.

     

    was cold out there but the Mustang survival suit is worth every cent.

     

    The full moon was so bright Saturday night one could read a book out there.

     

    For me its all about getting out there and relaxing.Fish are just a bonus.

     

    I feel good.

     

    Until next year.....Um I mean May 24th I am sure it will be better then.

  3. Do you want to be able to collect your prize if you win? That may be an issue if you win... especially if it is one of the larger prizes. If you know someone in Ontario then you could probably have lottery tickets sent to their address.

     

    John read the rules! I am allowed to win the prizes but the rules state I must purchase the tickets in Ontario.

     

    Si if I was to purchase in Ontario there would be no issue.At this point I don't think I will go out of my way to try and win a nice prize as the odds are not in my favor.

  4. I have previously supported this organization in the past even though I live in La Belle Province.

     

    I would like to purchase tickets myself but the rules state I must be in the province of Ontario

     

    in order to purchase tickets.

     

    does any one know if I can buy these tickets somewhere near ottawa as I travel to Gatineau and ottawa for work.

     

    Peterbough is just too far for me.

    :dunno:

  5. Jeez Paul you are way too organized.Do you have a little red carpet that I walk on before I step in to your boat.

     

    You have just as many gadgets as a swiss army knife and the boat is the same colour

     

    Ok I must admit all looks good looking forward to fishing with you bud.

     

    Oh and you need to leave the boat motor muffs at unless you use those on your ears :whistling:

  6. Starting to get a bit of wet snow falling over my way now and the weather dood says we may get a few inches.

     

    My wife leaves in 3 hours for a 2 week cruise across the Pacific to Hawaii and told me she's sorry to hear about the lousy weather approaching us but she really doesn't care and sorry for my bad luck. :lol::lol:

  7. the 'ecoboost' ford i had mentioned earlier is now getting much better mileage. apparently programmed to eay fuel for the first 9000kms then it starts behaving itself...

     

    so, i was critiquing the engine unfairly. be interested to hear what owners are saying about them.

     

    Actually Smally they can be good on gas but it all depends on how you drive them.

     

    I know 4 people who have these F150 ecoboost. 3 out of the 4 get between 9.5 to 10.5 litres per 100kms on the highway.Thats on cruise at 100kph they tend to hit the 13 litres per 100 in the city.One guy well he is just a lead foot!!!!!

     

    I have the same motor in my 2011 Ford Taurus SEL minus the Turbos.If I drive on cruise on the highway at 100kph I get 8 litres per 100 very good mileage for a 4200 pound car.Much better than our Honda Odyssey.

     

    If I drive the car slowly in the city I can average 11 to 12 litres per 100kms.Get aggressive with fast starts and high rpm's then my average goes to 13 or 14.

     

    all depends on how one drives.Now I wonder how much a fiberglass box hinders the mileage?
