just throwing it out there, for reference...but ive swapped to using a switch as my battery post for my electronics, and then another switch for accessories like lights etc. It cleans up your battery and isolates some stuff to allow you to kill power to your electronics. I also installed a grounding bar for my electronics. Ive got 6awg wire running to the switches and grounding bar and then individual feeds for each unit running to their respective spots. i went an extra mile and even made my own fuse clusters so that I can easily access and swap fuses if need be. Thats how the guys are sonar pro's are doing it.

Short.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but wanted to gain some more confidence in my decision. Need a 9.9 for my 12 footer. Transom is 16". Short or long shaft motor? For reference looking at a Suzuki.

Ordered this one, looks super strong.

I don’t usually endorse c but it’s just lead

I did see the Chinese made ones on amazon, was hoping for something better quality as this is for my main battery which powers everything except the trolling motor.

Amazon has a bunch

Princess auto

What about Boaters World, they carry a good selection of stuff.

TH Marine had a nice one but now discontinued. Anyone here have these for sale? Also interested in other options (new or used). TIA< P.

Yes, what are you interested in?

I remember the last cup win too. Before I retired my co-workers would give me grief about the Leafs last cup win. They would usually go quiet when I said "I went to 4 Stanley Cup parades for Leafs championships. How many have you been too for your team?" Hopefully I'm around for the next one. I'm not confident it will be this year but as long as they're playing there's a chance.

beat me to it.........😉 Nice pics, Rick! Doug

Well i have fished muskies on many lakes. home port is l st clair. caught my first skie in 1956.ran a charter service and due to age/injuries we build musky lures. the LARGESTissue is enviroment,and the great lakes as a sewer system.we daily deal with invasives..if guys will deal with the obvious then calling out styles and methods that are completly legal..yes i have fished the st lawerence,ottawa river everywhere b,bay kawarthas etc. its about enviroment and other issues..why is st clair not destroyed. michigan runs 3 rods,ont 2 rods.and yet mnr states we have a musky imbalance of too many fish.,per acre. do your home work guys.

No doubt. I recall last year when they got to the second round more people were talking about it around me who weren't really into hockey. I can't image if they get to the finals how it would be. I'm just dreaming as most leaf fans do lol.

I don't know about "un-educated". Jon Anderson is one of the most respected Muskie authorities on the planet. And the list of names signing off at the bottom have a bit of experience too. BTW, it's not planer boards so much as long line trolling with mono, which remains a common practice on the US side of the river.

leafs ever win the cup...southern ontario will most certainly be closed the day of the final game and the following. It might actually get downright weird for a bit.

Up around Muskoka region, really like it there. Next spring I'd like to set a little fishing group. Find a couple of experienced anglers, see some new waters.

Geesh!

Depends on the trout. If you are fishing for large browns, steelhead, or lakers, I'd go 7, maybe even 8. Depends on the size of the quarry. I've used an 8 when fishing for large brookies and lakers in NWT, Manitoba, Quebec, and God's Lake/River. We were using midsized (3 - 4")streamers. If you are stream fishing in Ontario, a 5 or 6 should do well.

I've used 8 wgts quite a bit. Not too big for bass, and can handle pike and muskie. I like the articulated with a lot of marabou. Where you headed?

Honestly, if you can get a full refund, I would head to the upper French. Many lodges to choose from. I've fished the French both above and below the Chaudiere dams for 30 years. Probably well over 75 trips. Fishing has sometimes been tough (it can be on a 3 day trip), but is usually quite good. Walleye, Bass, Pike and Muskie. Lodge possibilties: 1) Crane's Lochaven ( my personal favorite....talk to Sue) 2) Chaudiere 3) Lunge Lodge 4) The Tilted Toque (Used to be Casa Blanca...went there for 15 years). 5) Totem Lodge 6) Breyer Lodge 7) Wolsey Lodge Also, you might take a guide first day. The whole friggin river looks fishy.....not the case. Crane's has a fleet of pontoon boats ( sans covers) that make for very comfortable fishing. Includes a wonderful shore lunch. Tell the guide you'd like to fish relatively close so you can fish the spots in your last two days. Walleye can be awesome. But, take some small topwater (ie Rebel PopR). Bass will nail them ( let them go), but pike love them as well. And....you be surprised at the muskie that will hit that smaller plug. Now I wish I was going. Damn!

Hey Krattor, Did you still have any of this?

Maybe a good thing. Will have more money for the boat not buying there lol

Yeah, not bringing that beast under the bridge lol
