If your going aluminum Lund is definatly the way to go. Are you completly against fierglass fish 'n Ski's? Ther are some reallyt nice ones on the market now by Rinker, Glastron and Four Winn's I have a Glastron bowrider I have converted to a Fish 'n Ski and I was in the market for an alluminum, but the gas savings going with an inboard are so huge that I don't think I will ever go the route of an outboard. I can fish and tube with the kids all weekend for 2 or 3 weekends on a 90 liter tank of gas.

No, not in Silent Lak PP, they are all drive up camping. Go to Algonquin instead if you want to canoe to a campsite. If you want good fishing you'll have to make one or two portages. Tea Lake is an easy portage.

Distilled water is captured steam. The steam is 100 percent pure H20. The junk left behind is all the calcium, salts etc... If you put boiled water in it all you have done is further concentrate the minerals. If your boiling your water your better off just dumping pure tap water in it. RO is Reverse Osmosis. I used to use that for my fish tank, RO is water that is forced through a filter at high preasure. This will also remove most of the junk similar to distilled but RO is not as clean as Distilled. Many people in the fish tank world consider RO as good as DI(Distilled). SOme of the more fanatical will use Distilled water and put it through an RO filter before filling there tanks with water. This is only common ammong saltwater fish folks. They then add minerals, salt etc....

They sell a really nice super long heavy duty rubber one at BPS. I am waiting for it to go on sale. The pole is extendable and is very thick.

Where is the launch area? Just wanna stay out of the way on saturday morning. I know what its like launching 100 boats while everyone is still half asleep.

Besides I will be in disguise so you won't know its me.

From what I was told there was lots of space left and Top Bass you can enter the day of at the launch. Not 100 percent sure if I will enter on Saturday but I am about 90 percent sure I will be out on the lake to see where people fish. I am new to scugog and wanted to see where everyone goes.

Top Bass, I will have my binoculars out spotting for holes and lures.

I plan on tooting around in my boat on Saturday and entering the sunday one.

Even at 90mph down the lake in a tourney I have never seen anyone wearing a helmet, life jacket yes, helmet never seen one. I mean lets all be realistic its fine to say this and that, but everyone knows darn well when the horn blows and the throttles get punched everyone is at full throttle for some time weather there boat tops at 30 50 60 70 or 90. Mine is in the 40 ish range, but many more are in the 60 - 70 range.

Lots of gobbies in bay of quinte, don't use them, put them in a jar and burn them in a fire after you get to land.

Not considering safety of yourself and others is something seen at every single bass tournament I have ever been in. Every derby has a half the field tearing down the lake full throttle. Get there first and stay out there last. Thats why Bass boats are built for speed. Not saying its safe to drive 100+mph in a bass boat, but just that they do, and was wondering if anyone knew what the fastest is. I have been in an XB 2002 with a 175 and it did 80 no problem with two guys full tank of gas and fullt tourney load. Only boat faster down the lake happened to be a 300hp bullet, but we wern't full throttle and he jumped us off the line. The bullet hull weighs about 500 or 600 more pounds than the allison and the Allison's have a faster hull speed from what I have read. The Strokers also have a faster hull speed than the bullets. 40mph is ok, 50 - 60 is good, 70 is as fast as you need to go to be in the first half dozen down the lake, anything over 90 is for bragging rights only. 100+ and you serisouly have a death wish.

got home late from work only had time to run some seafoam through the carb and and try out the new prop, works good. Man those weeds are thick on the north end, I didn't think I was gonna make it through them. Saw a couple big cruisers having hard times as well. Only got a few casts in, so didn' really fish.

Like I said mostly out to test a new Prop on the boat but you can't very well go out in a boat on the water without getting a line wet. Hopping to get in an hour or two. Doubt I'll hook anything but I'll try to have a picture or two.

That is a serious Hog. How long was it? Its got to be pretty near the record? I would definatly prefer to hold the tail end of that beast.

Well, after long while I am going to be hitting the bog tonight to try and hit some skies. I have a new prop I am going to be trying out and I figure heck I might as well give some skies a whirl for an hour or two. Anyone hit any skies lately on scugog and able/willing to offer some insight.. colors, depths, location etc....?

Ok so after some chatting over some beers, I am trying to find the fastest production Bass boat. Now when I say production I mean from the factory, not a stripped down hull with a custum made Drag engine. I mean from the factory with factory options. Allison? Stroker? Bullet? They all claim to be the fastest in one article or another.

I had a 2 and a half foot long nest in my attic a few years back. I had the pest control guys come, the removed gthe nest and killed the residual ones for 100 bucks. Saved me from getting stung.

I have had this happen a few times this year now, where I have caught fish in the air with the net after throwing a hook in the boat. Just wondering how many people have done this? Last year I caught a 35" pike in the water after throwing the hook it dove into the water and right into my net.

still looking for fish, but you want want to launch at cesarea not in town, it'll be a rough ride getting through the weeds and your gonna want to go up top anyway. Try the river for bass thats what I have heard anyway. I haven't been up there though.

hey great info, I was meaning the normal spinner baits that we all use for bass and pike. I have a bunch of worm harness spinners that I use with a lindy rig setup with a worm, Was hoping to try it with a leach but couldn't buy any. I heard and saw some people using spinnerbaits so I was just wondering how they did it. I know a guy on scugog had a big stringer full trolling a white spinner bait. What else do you guys tip a worm harness with other than worms? Normally I am a jig and minnow guy as well but when I am out camping I have a hard time keeping the minnows alive long enough to bother.

Just wondering how everyone trolls for walleye with spinner baits? I have heard of people doing very well with this tactic, but do you need to run a dipsy diver or just go really really slow, or just let it run near the surface?

Thanks for all the info, Tried to find leeches and went to a half dozen shops and couldn't find any.

haha yah, a nice long cast with a 1 ounce drop shot weight would do nicely.

Towed a few people in off the water this long weekend, Had my boat nearly rammed into by a seadoo at the dock while I was tied up. The guy missed by about 3 inches, and sad that he could get it into reverse. I smiled and said maybe you should have let off the throttle.
