Not disputing the work and cost involved with being a hut operator. I just think $180 for two of us to fish is more than its worth for us. But, I ended up booking floydd hales at three person rate. Will cost us $75 each which I think is more reasonable.

Problem solved!! Just think that after 2 of these trips you'd at least be the proud new owner of a hub, maybe even an auger as well. Good luck out there.

They may be harder to find than you think the last time I was in that store half the clientele fit that discription...

LMAO. Plastered from head to toe with Duck Dynasty and Nascar logos. LOL. Barrie and surrounding area dinner attire, no? I particularly love the subtlety of the safety jacket.

Tim Hales charges min 3 person rates for weekend hut rentals. That means my girl friend and I will have to shell out $180 for a day of perch fishing. Yeeeeea not likely. lol All these rentals I've been doing adds up to almost the same as it would have cost me to buy my own gear. Thats a sad thought.

Not a sad thought at all as its seasonal and I can only imagine the cost and work involved in running an operation. start working on it and before you know it you can fish where and when you want and only have to answer to how far your legs will carry you.

Welcome to the board. Great show of ingenuity and nice perch haul. Thanks for sharing.

Just lovin the way hockey jerseys are just flying off peoples backs. Hopefully an indication that the stock of this lame duck is and/or continues to fall. Absolutely priceless to see and long overdue.

DOH!!!! Just remembered I saw a few at Gagnons in Oshawa when I was in there last week. Believe they were selling in the $20 range.

Been doing it for years. Bought my fill valve in the US. Be sensible, don't fill near open sources of flame, don't fill inside, wear gloves and safety glasses and pay attention to what your doing. If you follow that advice, your very unlikely to be a statistic.

X2. Before we tried it for the first time we weighed a brand new 1Lbr and weighed every one we re-filled. All but one were within the weight of the factory filled tank. I have a brand new adapter but I'm hangin on to it. Just checked and EBAY has 3 pages of listings of availability. Good luck.

A few hiccups but adrenaline does that to us all. Only advice is to keep doing what you're doing. After all, you got it to hit didn't you?

Almost afraid to ask whats in that moustache

Doesn't seem like work when you follow your passion. Thanks for the read and best of luck going forward.

Firing Randy worked wonders. I'll reserve further comment after the end of their season.First things first though. I'll wait to hear what all the hockey.........er, rather.... leaf experts have to say on how to fix this sordid, shameful mess and never ending colossal disaster.

Stumbled upon Uncle Steve and an extensive library of his fishing exploits. Many here have probably watched one or ten of these but for those who haven't........ here he is, uncle Steve. Truly one of a kind.

Nice!!! Love the hooksets man.

The company my wife works for held their advertising contract here in Canada and will be affected in some way. As far as Target goes they tried to distinguish themselves from Wal Mart instead of mirroring their model as a bargain based outlet. Maybe Target should have followed in step and changed their path to distinction once they had enough of the market.

Did you knock the safety clip out of the kill button...

Good call. Been there done that.

Engine brand, size, 2/4 stroke? You won't be using it for a little while anyway so lets see if way more knowledge based members than I can whittle it down for you. Doesn't hurt to try.

What exactly needs fixing?

Great fishing report and pics. The second part of the story is becoming far to common these days as politicians show conspiring to hold and/or maintain power and the consequences associated with those decisions. Thanks for sharing.

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Way to go Brian

I regularly see a pair in Bowmanville as well as owls, falcons and hawks. www.ontariofalconrycentre.com

Quinte Walleye a few winters back weighed in at a hair shy of 11 Lbs.

Hello

 

So the wife and I are just starting to shop around for a new or slightly used van for the family... The G6 isn't cutting it anymore...

 

In no way do I wanna start and brand battle on here with negative arguing between everyone... That won't help me at all...

 

I'm looking for your feedback about the van or vans you have owned and what you liked or didn't like in your opinion...

 

I have no preference of brand... All brands have issues in their line up somewhere...

 

So please... Good or bad I like to hear about your personal experience and opinions on your vans...

 

 

Thanks a lot for the help...

There are forums for just about every vehicle out there Mike as well as Edmunds, Consumer Report(theres a fee to join) and kelley blue book that point out year to year and generational model issues, recalls,TSB's, fixes and so on and so forth. Theres a www. of info out there to help refine and/or further confuse you.

One thing to remember is that with changes in plant relocation and off shore manufacturing of parts, especially after 2009, newer vehicle quality has in most cases become suspect across the brand market so you might want to consider an extended warranty no matter your choice. Good luck in your search.

When will people use their heads......

 

I feel for the family this angler leaves behind....

 

So senseless

What Garritt said cause I don't want to seem unsympathetic but enough already. At 61 he should have known better.

Some sweet fish there! Good job on the video as well, I live in Quinte and have yet to get out the falls/winter this year.... Damn work and overtime.

 

Congrats on a successful outing.

Thanks Gerritt but I tell ya if the drive wasn't such a killer I'd be up there fishing all year long for every species there is to offer. It truly is an Anglers paradise.

Good stuff Man! Thanks for sharing. Looks cold out there.

The morning started with feeling like -19 but as winds calmed and the sun stretched out as high as it could for this time of year it was actually nice out.
