hope that cardiff has improved since the mid 2000's fake gold models....

Trump doesn't stand a chance...not even a close one... So.... I've bookmarked this thread...and we'll revisit this fall.... I'm sure by then even those in this thread who defended trump will have changed their mind.....

that's why its best not to ask political, or religious questions, while fishing.

he'z nuts. truly has no chance.... but sure is fun to watch.

did you have your rod in your hand when she hit, or was it in the holder? I could just imagine what it must have felt like...you mentioned it was a taildancer, how deep of water were you fishing? As someone who loves to troll, I can't even imagine what that must have been like! (finally, 20lbs test for walleye eh! bet your glad you had that)

interesting on how many folks talk about insurance.... not many folks I know insure their boats....guess it all depends on the value.

wrap some electrical tape around the reel seat....that may work. if not they sell actual reel seat pads that also may work. I had to do it with an inshore nrx spinning rod that my stella reel won't latch properly onto.

I could not see boats in front of bronte from the skyway.... was a beauty day on the water this morning none the less...until the traffic picked up that is

crossed the skyway bridge this morning in Hamilton...no boats out and at least four foot waves from the East.

but he's already out.... and the appeals court might get painted blue..... so who knows if the charge will even stick.

my aunt is on the police force in Hamilton. she told me last night this sentence has caused a divide among the blue in Hamilton.... the minority of cops here she advised want to see a full punishment for this murdering man (can't call him a cop, now that is has been let go without pay).... HOWEVER, unfortunately the majority of the police here in Hamilton, like the one on this thread, will automatically defend any and all cops, in any and all situations.... ahhh well... tides are turning. little brother is watching... and the days ahead will be much different than the days of the past..... Who would have thought when cops asked for CCTV everywhere...you know....for the safety of the public would backfire like it has.... Now there are more folks with cell phones than CCTV, and aren't the slightest bit scared of filming cops stepping out of line. With the direct streaming options, cops can't even take your cell phone and delete (or steal) your memory cards.... Times they are a' changin. Edit: grammar

lets hope the appeal court doesn't turn "blue".

3/4" is standard.

had eyes peel/fall of the shad's, but the smelts are great lures!!!

MMMmmm Chemong Lodge.... Their Prime Rib is second to none. I think I read someone mention the "egg and I" in Hamilton.....have a try at "bedrock bistro" for a breakfast...you likely wont be back to the egg and I.

careful with buffs guys. many i've seen, including those cheap discount ones that were posted on here last year (yes, i fell for it as well) don't have any uv protection. you get what you pay for. if you pay <$10 for a buff, it likely has zero uv protection.

atta boy. "sue, sue, sue" after all, it's the 'merican way.

Outside of your first sentence, I agree with your post wholeheartedly. Trust me, Canadians value their freedoms equally to our American neighbours. With respect to cameras being used everywhere....citizens once had a fear of "big brother". Now big brother has fear of "little brother" - the cameras that are used to capture what once was "swept under the rug". Now, with direct live streaming, any chance of destroying evidence will be removed.

And as long as you aren't black, you'll be just fine.

Colin James is an excellent performer live. Seen him a number of times here in Hamilton at various festivals. His time with the little big band was the peak of his playing. Maceo Parker at the Palais Royale eh?! Musta been, what, 1992, 93'ish? Talk about a funky performance Maceo brings. And an incredible venue to see that funk. Now that is a show I was pissed to miss. A few friends made it....I was big into the Dead and Phish at the time ... wouldn't give it a shot...have kicked myself ever since. Robert Fripp...what a trip he is!!! Did he play with his back to the audience? What a character. Saw him in the early 2000's at Massey Hall...with King Crimson I believe...One of the strangest fella's I've seen live. Arcade Fire is another trip to see live. So much going on the stage at once. Saw them a couple years ago at the ACC with some clients. It was "dress up night"... audience is as crazy as the band is My wife and I have tickets for the Hip show here in Hamilton...I think I'm going to give my ticket to one of my wifes girlfriends...not sure that is a scene that I want to be part of.... however, the drive to Bobcaygeon sounds like a good idea.

Saw a number of concerts at Shae's.... Saw the "rest" of the Grateful Dead there, after the passing of Jerry. It was crazy. Saw a fella named John Scofield play with some guys named Medeski, Martin, and Wood..... My mind has never been the same after that performance. Shae's was crazy.

Bunk, I'm assuming you saw Neil with Crazy Horse? (that is usually the setup to turn casual fans around). I saw Eagles and EJ as well - both not worth it ... especially Elton!

Not Fair!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 28, 1975. Even more NOT FAIR!!!! I've been to a few hundred concerts....music is the only thing I enjoy more than fishing....or at least "as much". My first concert was The Who, 1996 (was 16 years old). My best concert was December 31, 1999. Phish. Ole Seminal Indian Reservation in the Florida Everglades. After 3 sets on the 30th, Phish came out on the 31st, played a set from 4 until 6pm. Then they left, came back on at Midnight. The played from Midnight until SUNRISE without STOPPING ONCE! (yes, that is 7.5 HOURS STRAIGHT) It was the "encore" to the 20th century. Since than I've been to countless shows, but the feeling I had at midnight, Millennium New Years Eve, dancing in the Everglades to my favourite band...it was a magical experience that will never ever be topped. Other notable mentions: - Neil Young 3 night run at Massey Hall - Primus at the Danforth - Pearl Jam with Neil Young at ACC - Springsteen on his last tour before the passing of Clarence Clemens - Roger Waters on the most recent "Wall Tour" (seen Roger three times but that was the best) - David Gilmour from most recent tour. (better live than Roger) I'm also a HUGE jazz fan, seeing guys like Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Victor Wooten, Oscar Peterson, John McLaughlin, etc were all life highlights. Seeing the "Quintet" reunion at Massey Hall in 2003 was likely the most "significant" (historically) concert I've attended.

i've caught about 25 muskie in my lifetime (I'm not much of a muskie fisherman).... ALL but three have been caught on the same black and orange buchertail bucktail. If I was fishing the Kawartha's, I could confidently fish with that lure and no others....and do just fine.

wow....spinners working on speeds less than 1mph? they must work awesome for walleye.... I can't get virtually any bait to work at those speeds.... they must be SUPER light blades.
