Had a few days at a cottage south of North Bay and was able to land a nice number of topwater smallmouth. My son is a solid angler for 13 while my daughter is a more typical 10 year old so any fish she catches is a big deal for me and her. Besides my daughter’s fish which were caught on a whopper plopper style lure most of mine and my son’s fish were on various walk-the-dog style lures with a few poppers or crazy crawlers in the mix.

I've been looking for a glass bowrider for the last 2 weeks. I would say that sellers are starting to get a little desperate. Just about every boat I've showed an interest in, I get a follow up asking if I'm still interested or I see a price drop of at least 10%. So I'm waiting till next month before I buy. Should be even better.

My buddy who is a car/boat dealer and is involved in importing boats from the US and exporting trucks and cars to the US tells me there is a massive fallout coming for dealers in Canada. He says truck deliveries in the US are picking up steam and the market is softening for export pickups here in response. He believes that many dealers (and customers who are paying over MSRP) are going to get caught holding the bag for overpriced inventory. My considered advice would be to hold off buying a truck or car till fall if you are in the market. Same goes for a house I would say too.
