  1. I used to be on a forum where this one dood made lures with real fish skin such as sturgeon. I can't remember the price, but it was insane! Mind you the lures looked INCREDIBLE! I think he was from Sweden???

     

    I'd probably cry if I lost $100 lure

  2.  

    I agree 100%, the question is how do the fish know??? Maybe they have a weather app built in...

    I honestly have no clue???

     

    Maybe the barometric pressure is felt by baitfish? Small airbladders leaving them more boyant and in shock that presents a prime feeding time for larger game fish???

  3. I paid more for my BBQ, than I did for my stove! I'll update the thread as I progress. I plan on hitting BBQ World in Whitby in the next couple of days https://www.barbecueworld.com/to get a better idea of what I want/need and pricing. Web sites are good for narrowing things down, but I'm a hands on guy and I need to touch them if you know what I mean!LOL

    Yep! I only use the web as a guide. Buy local where I can see the products(for me that means Winnipeg lol.

     

    Check out that broilking unit though. I've used my dad's and it's awesome! Can't speak on longevity as he just got it last summer, but it's built well. No chinsy parts, cooks as even as possible, no flare ups, and if I remember correctly it's a 40". I think it retails around $1200 ish which is not bad at all.

     

    I hardly use our oven lol. Between the BBQ and crock pot, the oven is basically just used for sauces/side dishes if needed

     

    Why cook inside when you can cook outside?

  4. I've banged a few good ones off already, but if there are brook trout addicts that have never experienced the Sutton River, you really need to do this. I don't think I've ever had a better afternoon of fishing in my life.. 75 degrees, blue sky, wading a run probably 2-3 kms long and about 3ft deep tossing big top water mouse patterns to brook trout. Fish after fish after fish. I'm pretty sure I said that Mike as we were doing it. Just unbelievable.

    Already crossed off firing a 12 gauge near Mike's head lol

  5. Thanks Dara, i have been down the cheap BBQ road. MY VC cost me over 2K 14 years ago. Doing the math, that equals about $150.00 /year for a fantastic BBQ that NEVER let me down. Heck, I could put a pound of bacon on the grills and it would not flame up!

    I am hoping for a similar experience as I have had with my VC. Heck, I'll take a decade of solid use, if I can find the right tool.

    I BBQ about 150 times a year, cooking everything you typically grill and everything else from cakes to lasagna. It's important to me that I have a good BBQ that I can and will rely on.

    I hear ya! I do have a chinsy unit from Walmart that I just use for hotdogs etc, but it's basically destroyed from a storm a year or two back lol

     

    I def. Don't mind paying top dollar for a great grill. I too BBQ at least 150 days per year. Those cheap units can't handle the volume, or they heat uneven or whatever. Not worth the hassle unless you just cook hotdogs or burgers.

     

    When you find the one, let us know what ya got!

  6. I have looked at Blaze, they seem really nice. Problem I am having though is that I can't seem to find a local dealer?

    HH

    Bummer. They have a model that's around your price range and it's really nice! I think it's called the BLZ 5 LP

     

    I shopped around on a site called BBQ guys.com

     

    Lotsa nice grills on there and reviews too

  7. I wonder how long that sucker would've been in its throat before it starts to break down

    That's something I'd like to know. I've caught a few pike with either another pike in it's mouth, a walleye or a sucker. And you can see that it's been in there for what I'd assume a few days, and the fish are hardly breaking down.

     

    My guess is it take a month roughly to break down

  8. When it comes to Marine/Automotive batteries, there really are only a couple of factories that make them for all brands. I don't think you can go wrong with Walmart or CTC. They will stand behind their warranty, and the price is usually right.

    Glad a good cleaning an boost worked in this case. Might want to keep an eye on it over the summer before cold weather hits again.

    I had already cleaned the terminals as they had a tad bit of rust developing.

     

    Never had a battery issue till now and it's for an obvious reason lol, but yeah I think im gonna change it this weekend anyhow

     

    OI I have that same booster. But like mentioned it wasn't recognizing the battery it was too low. I checked it on two other vehicles just to make sure and the booster is fine.

  9. Refs ruin another one. That series should have gone 7.

    That call was brutal. Look where the ref was, basically in the corner behind the net. Of course he had no view of the puck, he was in horrible position.

     

    I realize they are human and make mistakes, but that call was REALLY BAD.

     

    And shout-out to the Nashville fans. Aside from the stupid catfish thing, wow did they rally around their team!

     

    Matt, did you notice the pens fans sell out the building in Pitts just to watch the jumbo Tron? ?????
