    2024 Victoria and Oak Bay Reports

    I've used the downriggers at Constance bank while the water is flowing fast and it works well. You can also hook your bait sent bag to the DR and then let about 10 ft of halibut line out from the pinch clip. But I only use the DR in less than 200 ft of water.

    Cuts of meat on sale

    Just got back from QF and picked up 8 steaks. All nicely trimmed and nice big tenderloins. Steaks are in two packages and all the two packages I saw range in price from $18 to $22 or $9 to $11 a steak. They are not 1 inch thick like I usually purchase but for the price I will eat them.

    Your Hotrod or Classic Car Pics

    [/MEDIA] Must be a small block Chev. to sound like that and. sounds the same as mine. It sounds great and probably the Canso sounds the same. Both the Canso and Acadian are nice rides. The engine dress up on the Canso is well done.

    Your Hotrod or Classic Car Pics

    With receiving collector plates for our vehicles, it was recommended to get an appraisal done. The reason being that if the car was trashed, disappeared, or burned to the ground you need some documentation of the vehicles condition at a set time. I shopped around and found Van Isle Auto...
