I follow my mom's recipe which doesn't use any soup or milk. In a casserole dish, I layer the bottom with slices of butter. Top the butter with the thinly slice potato, one layer. Add sliced onions on top of the potato layer, then salt, garlic power and Parmmy cheese, then another layer of thinnly sliced butter. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the dish. The top layer gets the same as below, except it gets significantly more Parmmy cheese on top. Bake at 375 for 45 to an hour. No, this is NOT a low cal version, but the potatoes will get crispy and butter saturated. Feel free to dip any bread into the butter at the bottom of the dish! HH

I bought one...when I pulled the lever the boat stayed and the lake took off.

A 12' thinner is loud compared to my kayak. -An electric motor is loud. -The boat itself is loud. -tin boats are not known for comfortable bench seats. My Hobie seat has built in adjustable lumbar support. -a tin boat uses gas or a heavy battery to recharge if using electric -a tin boat requires registration and insurance (might be covered under home policy depends on insurer) -requires a trailer and a spot to keep it. I keep my Hobie inside my apartment. -Kayak needs no launch and I don't have to pay for parking most of the time as most municipal lots that I know only charge if you have a trailer -sitting in a tin boat is not the same as sitting inches off the water. I have been through creeks 4" deep to access back lakes I'm not trying to make anyone sell their boat. I am not a fan of the misconception that people who kayak fish do so cause they can't afford a boat. I can't tell you how many times I hear "why don't you just get a jon boat". I think that 12' jon boats suck, that's why! Lol (just an opinion not picking on anyone who has one!) I sold my boat cause the kayak is better (for me and what I want to be doing).

If our mitigation efforts work we will never know how many lives were not lost. There is still time for this to go either way. I can't take any talk about a conspiracy to "take our rights" seriously.

Partly, but also partly that the virus is not as dangerous as what we are being led to believe. How much of this is being done to take away our individual rights and freedoms? To drive an agenda.

If you have to ask you don’t have the same type of humorist mind as I I thought it was damn funny

Like living to a ripe old age? Sumptin' like that Beans? That's what I'm looking forward to Cliff, and if it means not taking the boat out well that's what I am going to do, look forward to living longer and doing my absolute best to ensure I am not the one that passes on this thing to people I love and care about, simple as that I am going to tell you all what I say to everyone I know that goes for a ride to get out of the house because they all say they aren't in contact with another soul and not harming anyone. The idea is that if for any reason 1st responders need to be called out resources are squandered. Vehicles should be on the roads for 2 reasons. 1, to get to and from work if you are considered to be essential. 2, to get to and from grocery stores, pharmacies and getting fuel to get to and back from an essential job. I think that is pretty simple. I won't delve into the discussion as to whom and what should or shouldn't be essential. I will say this though, our 1st responders are the most essential people we have right now. Please just stay home. It's tough, it's boring, it's terrible but it's better than being dead. I don't know how hard that is to understand. In my humble opinion and that of the leaders we elected to make the tough decisions for us just stay home. Nice fish but please just stay home.

Hi all, Wabigoon Lake has been very mediocre in terms of crappie fishing on the ice this year for me, that is until half way through March, and now it is on fire. In some areas it does not seem to matter where you drill holes, they are everywhere and some nice size ones too. Ice is going to go fast this year as soon as night time temps approach the +℃, GET 'EM WHILE YOU CAN!

Ok Gil I,ll show you mine,you show me yours,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dry open and closed wings and prepped some clousers . Waiting for Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail material to arrive so I can tie some jigs for the Niagara river . .

Well, at least he tried... HH

I am being lazy and not going all the way back and reading every comment but as a new kayak owner here is my perspective I bought a kayak at the end of the summer. I have access to cottages with nice boats but work, life, family etc allows me to get there 2 or 3 times a summer and I was not getting my fill of fishing, Enter the kayak I love it - to date I have spent about $1200 on the package including a way to load it in my pick up (5.5 box) It has allowed me to spend some time fishing locally, do some day trips and I will most likely bring it to cottages and camping whenever that happens again. I don't think it will replace boats or will be for everyone but I do believe it certain parts of the US and Canada it has really taken off - cheaper jump in point, better for accessing certain spots and for some a better connection to water/nature Cheers Gody

I hope this isn't a serious post....

out

Without a doubt, that is the strangest 'old saying' you will ever hear claimed in your life.

hmmmm, perhaps the 110,000 people that have died from the virus may have a different opinion.

I get it for the cost savings, but then I see guys install like $3,000 worth of features on a $2,000+ kayak and I’m like...I literally own a bass boat for not much more than that 🤷🏽‍♂️

The “elite” and the Illuminati Bill...obviously 😅

We have a Honda plant in Alabama, they make Pilots and Odysseys. Be damned glad when they are back rolling. We also have a Mercedes, Hyundai, Toyota and a Mazda plant. All are shut down. When they are shut down, all of there suppliers are shut down. At some point, things have to get back in production. We can't wait until there is zero chance of another case. If we do the economy of the states and Canada will take years to recover. Sometimes you have to get realistic.

I don't think that's the case. I think our politicians and medical officers got caught with their pants down and now their heads are spinning trying to close the gate after the lion has already got out.

As I see it this is evidence that what we've done up to now is working.

I'm still here guys. Thanks for the well wishes

Beautiful Largie! Here is mine (smaller than yours ) - Georgian Bay.

18 days... and I don't think he has any plans to cross the border by then either...

Dang. Walleye opener is coming soon. LOL

I have had a Kayak for 2 years and I use it more then my bass boat. I spent around $1000 for it. It is comfortable, stable easy to travel and store. There is nothing more thrilling then catching a fish and have it drag you around in it. I have a Tarpon 120

I'm going fishing with Terry.

Sail had quite a few of the Pelican Kayaks in stock when I was looking - nice boats My only advice for anyone who is planning on buying a kayak (winning is another story) is to check it out in person and try sitting in it, ideally in the water. I totally was convinced of the brand and type of kayak I wanted until I did a water test. I found the seat to be flimsy and uncomfortable and so i went in a different direction I have fished out of mine for over 5 hours straight w no issues and my back always give me issues lol

If you want to talk canoes and canoeing sometime just send me a PM.

Never been in a kayak in my life Dutch but every time I see one on the lake I think they look as if they'd be an enjoyable way to just cruise around a lake and take in the scenery.

Ok, keep it up guys, after this quarantine thing is over I am going to have to change my handle to 600 lb Cliff 😊

Pal, go out and do some exploring. The pandemic police are in full force on websites and Facebook. Anyone who knows isn’t going to tell because Karen will call it in. Anyone that doesn’t will need to do their own groundwork or have a good buddy network already in place.

I'll see ya in 2021? lol!

Must be a FB thing ? LOL GL G

Sort of agree---you can do things with a bass boat that I cannot do with my canoe by the converse also applies. Years ago I used to drool with envy with the fancy boats being towed on the highway---not any more.When my bud and I were hammering the fish on a back lake in my canoe that drooling stopped for good!

Believe it or not I'm serious! I had a great boat, 16' side console with a 40 Merc and a Terrova on the front. It just sat and collected dust once I fell for kayak fishing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's one of those things, you either love it or you don't like it. Those that love it are almost all die-hards, there's got to be a reason for that right? For me, it was about slowing down, simplifying, and focusing on the experience. It's also a lifestyle. I don't just fish from it, I do paddle (now pedal) in camping trips too. It's also great exercise. I lost 55 pounds in the last few years. I made other major lifestyle changes so kayaking doesn't get all the credit but paddling is fantastic for your core.

"why do you need a $2,000 camera when you can take pictures with a iphone?" "Why do you ride a $3,000 Miele bicycle when you could get a CCM for $250?" "Why do you have a $500 golf driver doesn't walmart sell golf clubs?" If you're not an enthusiast about something, you will likely not understand. It's not about the money. You could give me a $50,000 boat and I'd still choose the kayak every Saturday morning.

dave524 I like this one a little more info comes up on the planes. https://planefinder.net/

a lot of air traffic still considering we are all under isolation. I use it with my radio hobby and I've learned the sound of the ORNGE helicopter , I live very near the lake and a flight path for heli's, I usually go here follow where it is headed , ambulance chasing from the comfort of my home 🤣 https://www.flightradar24.com/44.2,-79.93/6

This is a Crestliner with a 90 Merc 4 stroke I bought back in '99 and it was an excellent boat & motor. Drove this one for 10 trouble free years then sold it to my bud and he's still driving it today. Crestliner makes a good boat.

I owned a 1976 Starcraft Mariner from 1979 to 2014. It is a center console. It was a great boat.

Those loonies drive me crazy. They live by the credo--"Just because you're not paranoid does not mean "they" are not out to get you""🤕😒

Finally got things together and was going to the cabin today but there was an issue. I've been battling a fierce flu bug since mid-January and haven't been out but once in January. I guess the battery went flat and froze due to me not plugging the sled in for months and today I went to start it and nada. Even after being plugged in for a couple of days she was dead flat. 😪 Got a new one from CT and it's currently on the bench charging. Maybe I'll get out tomorrow. 🙄 I can't believe that battery only lasted 12 1/2 years. Worthless piece of crap.

You had a good day. Thanks for sharing the video.

It's not the camping per se that the Gov. is banning, it's the getting to and from the crown land they don't want anyone to do. It's a form of a travel ban. If we don't get it we will be forced to follow what other countries are doing like Italy. Curfews.

Watch jay Siemens kayak vid and he sums it up pretty good

Most accidents happen in the home just saying

Hahaha

Ron I tried something similar back in 2017. Haven't done it since (my bad) but it was an incredible experience. So good. Didn't use the bacon to wrap the burgers, that's truly inspired. Here are a couple of photos I could find from my archives.

Looking good. Mr B knowing you are not on Facebook here are a few jig ideas for you from Big Jim that he recently posted.
