  1. Because. I always tell my kids Because is not an ansure so the problem is in your inability to ansure the question what ever it may be. I take time when the money is there regardles of weather I can make more $ ... No Money No funy
  2. I havent heard any one mention Nissan? They look like a go anywhere kind of truck? Personaly I like the ride of a Z71 suspension .4x4 is prety much a must with all my tools driving every day to Toronto and north of hwy 9 and further north or east on weekends in the winter pulling a sled and all the stuff plus my tools usualy. Or would a 4x4 diesle van be a reasonable option? Any comments pros & cons much appriciated. Don.
  3. When you fish by hand(no rod or reel) at 40-110 ft the heavy line is much less prone to damage or tangles when you have 90ft of line under your feet you need the heavy line. The leader I think is a no brainer?
  4. Good one
  5. A lot of cool spots to fish rivers around there once you put in the time and $ the people are very nice as well spent most of my life doodling and living up there cant wait to get out of Toronto and back. Saltydawg.
  6. What Gerrit said. Looks to me like there could be a few problems and this looks like its been going on for a while. probably should be fixed before the ground starts to freez. I wouldnt be in a pannic to get this fixed or you probably will end up doing it again in a few years. It looks like there is no quick fix. I travel up into Durham all the time I would be happy to take a look and see what may be involved. Ps not trying to sell you on anything. Pm me if this sounds acceptable. Don.

  12. I like the look and suspension with the colorado. I just worked with a guy that had the colorado Z71 4 cylinder (its a big 4) He was very happy with it but did mention that a new full size would cost him about 60$ less per month?? Its year end time for the auto dealers so insentives will be sweet for those looking at a new truck. WORTH taking the time to check out. Any body checked out or have the ecoboost that ford is pushing??
  13. My car sits about 20. Ill bring the jutebox What HWY do I take
  14. Its called (Bottle necking) The teritory that a spiecies needs to flourish is contianed to a small area. This is a result of not only human intervention but as well as evelution. So the intervention of humans is a dicey road... Does evelution rule or do we start to play the part of Mother Nature??? Personaly I side with evelution (Mother nature)
  15. Quick tip..... Be safe play smart. # 1 float suit #2 GPS / CELL minnimum.. sleds are by far best on the hard water( carbides and studded is a MUST) As far as cheap transportation an old air coolled is a safe bet.
  16. If you use braid in the winter stay away from using your hands to bring in a fish. It will cut your hand in the blink of an eye on a suprise run. It hapened to me 4yrs ago and I wont use it nor recomend it for people that dont use rod and reel. Personaly I dont feel that braided is more sensitive if any thing it is more unforgiving with respect to ice fishing. I want the line to stretch because the excitement of a hit causes most people to set the hook as if they were holding a 10ft fly rod.They pull the hook out. I like to use a 8 pound mono lead (5ft)and 12-17 mono line. Fishing for lakers and whities on Lady SIMCOE. Good luck. tight lines and cold hands
  17. Cmon get a grip. fishing is not the problem. tone it down a bit and spend time with your children I did. worked out great They love camping and fishing .. they both want to go out before thxgvng and thxgvngng..././ $$$$ yikes
  18. Dont mean to be a downer.. DONT STOP LOOKING!!!!! I have been without a constant job since last October. Worked for so many contractors that its STUPID. 99% WERE NOT WORTH SQUAT. Now I have 3 interviews Thursday with companys I want to work for.. However its a tough haul.. DONT STOP LOOKING!!!!!!~! Best of luck (PERSEVERANCE)
  19. WAY TO GO MAN!! KEEP IT UP
  20. We burn the remains. It should be a ballance between common scence and the area your in.? No doubt that stupid people are eveywhere. I also put remaines in the lake but its done properly(cut into pieces and scatterd) I have also put them in flower bedds and gardens. Ashes to ashes dust to dust..
  21. Friday night beer and B<>B
  22. Just buy what feels comfortable and be prepared to spend time getting familar with it. I have both and they are about 4-5yrs old wouldent trade them for any thing. But last trip I broke 4"s off the crucial and cryed for a week Ps. it took about 4 trips to get the feel of them INCREDIBLE for decent general pourpous rods. 1 medium 1medium/heavy
  23. Stay calm cool and collected. Trying times are hard on all family members. My deepest sympatheys. (im in the same baot again) Saltydawg.
