My god that's a big codfish!! What a feed me son! S.

Seems like a lot of work/expense for a few inches. It could end up being a bad decision, who knows. I'd leave it myself, and just move the seat if it bothers you that much.

That's a pretty crappy spring for sure! Nice work RJ and crew! S.

Yep, giver. I take the plug out of mine any time I'm not hunting. S.

Has anyone ever seen PT lumber react with aluminum? I've had a PT floor in my boat for I'm guessing 8 years now. I call Bull on the whole PT/aluminum fiasco. Best floor my boat has ever had! I also have PT bunks with carpet. No problem! S.

Well, if you leave lines down for hours on end, they look like your photo. Simple answer, check ur lines. It only takes 5 mins to reel in and reset, and it gives somebody something to do if the fishing is slow. If the fishing is on, they're not an issue. S.

Yep, I have the areas I fish loaded in my phone. S.

For the amount of time fleas are around, I don't ev en bother changing anything. You have to reel in and clear lines no matter what you use, so why use garbage line(flea flicker) or super heavy duty (40lb mono). I find wire collects fleas just the same as braid, it just comes off the wire easier. It still messes up your rigging, and makes your lines run higher. The best way to battle fleas, IMO, is to keep clearing lines. If a line is down longer than say 20 mins, it needs to be checked. S.

I have a couple stories as well. I think they are more prevalent than most would think. S.

Yes, your right, that should read feet, not yds. Regardless, get in touch. I'll be out there starting around mid june. Last year we started getting them around the end of may, but typically, its mid june-mid july that's best in this area. S.

Hey Drew, get in touch when your down this way. I have all the reels etc you would need, and your welcome to use them. I'd be a bit leary with only 750yds of line. I've had several fish peel off more than that. I've had fish peel that off in one good rip lol. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, you don't want to lose 'em!! Keep in touch. I'll have the low down on what's working and where if your down this way S.

How big was your screwdriver? You need a bigger one S.

I don't doubt that for a second. That would have been cool to witness!! S.

I've never carried a firearm for bears, but if I felt I needed one, it would be the trusty 870 with slugs for me. S.

Cool photos! I'd love to see an arial view of the kawarthas the next time anyone is out this way. S.

Told ya!

There is a loooong list of members who don't post here any more. Most have moved on, or been banned for silly reasons. I don't blame a lot of them for leaving, the najority of them have been banned for silly reasons, a lot that the mods here just take personally. I don't come here for fishing reports. Its the non fishing stuff that I come here for. I do enjoy your weekend reports though, chris. I'm familiar with most of the water your fishing, and can relate. S.

Come on, be honest with yourselves! They're TOAST!! Bye bye leafs! S.

Yeah, its a pretty dirty day. Right now, I have twoonie sized snowflakes coming down, with 40k westerlies. I lit a fire just now. S.

I'm not sure I want to install it now. Its brand new in box with reciept. Might see if I can exchange it for something else. I bought it for the GPS, without thinking about the DSI part of it. I figured it was a feature you could turn on/off. Guess not. S.

Does the battery charge back up? I'd be checking your wires and connections first. Something is wrong for suure. Its near imposssible to kill a full charged batt in 10 mins. Seems to me something is shorting out, and your losing the connection along the way somewhere. Are you sure the battery is dead? S.

Will they run together, side by side, with no interference, or will I have to switch from one to the other. Now I'm thinking I might not want the DSI.......might have to rethink this, and exchange it for a comparable bird unit that will do both........... S.

Well, I guess I'll leave my old graph installed and compare the two side by side. Might speed up the learning curve. S.

I just took a photo of a white out over my open pool.......lol. S.

Hmm....I have a new elite 5dsi to install on my boat this week. I didn't realize I couldn't turn off the DI. Looks like I have some learning to do. S.
