  2. Thought I was a gonner yesterday, Dr at the hospital said I'll be fine

      Did they say it was PVCs or something? I had/have that and it's scary, but they told me it's fine too.

      My doctor says I'm dealing with this. My doctor previous to her also said this, and the one prior to that one...

      I won't find a nice used popup anywhere within a 100km radius from me. Add shipping or gas to pick up, and I may as well just buy brand new.

       

      I don't ice fish very often, so I don't need something that's built like a tank.

  5. Pretty annoying when splake are jumping clear outta the water all around your boat and won't take what you're giving to them.

      I've had brookies hit bobbers before... Only one particular lake, and only one particular day. But it was pretty crazy to see.

      People who fish usually aren't that great about estimating weight of any kind, haha. Sure, that 13" brookie is totally a 3.5lber...

  7. FINALLY caught a rainbow trout! Four of them, in fact. And my brother caught three himself, and lost one. Good day on the water! :D

      Have certainly thought about it... There's a couple lakes reasonably close I could try this year. It's the last trout in my neck of the woods to catch.

  8. When I say "I'm leaving exactly at 5pm, if not before" it doesn't mean "let me know at 5:05 that you're about to eat supper, and then take 25 more minutes to do so. It's cool; it's not like we're running out of daylight or anything." Grrrr. After-work fishing trips will have to be solo from now on, I think.

      If it was 5am and we had a whole day to fish, sure, a half hour, even an hour late, whatever. But 5pm when it takes a half hour or more to get to the lake, plus more time to get onto the water, and the sun sets at what, 7:30pm now, if not earlier?

  10. The telescopic rod tube at CT is a joke. Cap pops off, flimsy body, etc. Made my own out of ABS, not telescopic but SO much better! Will be mounting it to the rear rack on my Honda Big Red.

      I also have two, but only one is insured and plated, the other is just for parts. Would have cost too much to get them both running, and I can only drive one at a time. :P

      It was a 10-year manufacturing ban and it ended in the 90s. The companies all agreed to not revive production.

  12. thinking of trying for rainbows tonight.. don't seem to have much luck with 'em, though. maybe my brother can show me what I'm doing wrong

    1. adolson

      Well, I had a nice one on but lost it right at the boat. Doesn't count, but at least I had a witness. I think I need to get a bigger net.

  13. Just bought a package of Fisherman's Friends. Put one in a cup of water, but nothing yet... How long do they usually take to hatch?

      Been busy.. Dealing with health issues for my 19-month-old and also for myself. No auroras yet.. Last year I tried and just hooked into a gigantic pike and then I left and quit trying for the season. Maybe I will just give up on them, I dunno.

  14. Proud to be an unoffical member of the Tim Horton's drive-thru people's hater's club. "Stop blocking me as I try to go to work you tool" or "try brewing coffee at home for 10 cents a cup" are our mottos.

      or.. "roast your own beans and drink it black, and stop drinking that vile crap with contaminants like sugar and cream"

  15. So proud of my fishing kids. Austin just caught a 2lb small mouth bass and Kaileigh lipped it and tossed it back! She's never done that before!
