  1. So after looking into operators for Feb 16 and the reports I have been getting I am not confident at all about what I am hearing. I am thinking of booking with Terry Goy but all the reports I have heard are all little perch. I have all the equipment I need to be successful out there just not sure where to go if I was to head out without a operator. Can anyone give any good suggestions? Thanks in advance
  2. If anyone is interested I made a simple cross out of wood and mounted the transducer on the bottom. IMO it worked great, I got it out for a little test drive on a local canal and it worked out pretty well. I still have to fine tune it and what not but it worked pretty well!!! The elite 4 HDI has a lot of nice features in it, I think I can get used to this Thanks for the input everyone it is appreciated!
  3. Yeah I have the transducer for soft water, is it possible to post a picture of your set up? I'm going to bass pro to get a battery or two so I just need to find a case and figure out how to rig the transducer
  4. So I bought the lowrance Elite 4 Hdi with the transducer, so I need to figure out how to rig it for ice fishing. I suppose I get a stick and run the transducer vertically down the stick, and obviously have the transducer at the bottom of the stick. From there does the stick need to be mounted on something so the transducer stays proper?
  5. We booked a hut with Kristas on Halls lake I hope we get something for our efforts lol
  6. My wife and I are heading to Loreale (sp) cabins in Haliburton highlands I guess. We are fishing halls lake. Any suggestions for the lake Chris as I know you are from the area?
  7. LOL The bag was just a added bonus. But 229 for the elite 4 and 100 for transducer and 40 for the battery which puts me above the Marcum VX and the FL 28 which are both ready to fish. Anyone see anything the Elite 4x does over the Marcum? I do not have a boat so that will not be my determining factor.
  8. How are the Eagles? This is really my first electronic and have no preference or experience with anything. I hear really good things about Marcum, Vex and Lowrance which all are the most expensive ones LOL. I really like the features of the Elite 4 as it can be used as a electronic flasher or a graph. I actually used a Vex once and it was great and that would be in the same price range of 350 as well.
  9. yeah for sure, I have been looking. Procrastination really ends up biting me on the butt on this one . We booked a trip up to Haliburton and would love a unit before going up there.
  10. Thanks a lot for the Info I really appreciate it!
  11. Hey Gang I am curious as to what everyone uses on the ice for electronics. I am having a heck of a time finding either a flasher or a Fishable ready to go Ice fish finder, everyone seems to be sold out of just about everything. Seeing as I am in Niagara I am limited of local options but I am open for suggestions. I really like the features of the Lowrance Elite 4X, I can pick up the Elite 4x for $229 but then it is a $100 for the transducer and another 100 for the carrying bag which puts me up the Marcum VX. Very much a dilemma!!!! Helppppp!
  12. Thanks I forgot to add it is for Simcoe I appreciate it!
  13. How is this hut? Any personal experience with this one?
  14. Just looking for the best operator for the February 14th weekend. I primarily want perch but if there's a possibility for Perch and Lake trout I am all ears Thanks in advance
  15. The xsi is a OK camera, it is good for beginners, the only issue IMO is the low light capabilities I would be hard pressed to shoot over 800 ISO on one of those cameras. The Canon 50 1.4 is a good lens to start with, that and the 17-40 which could be had for 600 used right now would be a killer combo. The macro lenses have already been mentioned and they are good choices. I personally use Canon myself a 7D and 5d Mark 2 but I started with the Canon XS which was a OK camera and got me by.Just remember if you like the DSLR don't get hellbent on bodies, glass is more important

    Puppy

    Added a new member to our family last night and picked up a new puppy,sharpei/bulldog. Adorable mix, he is 1 of our 3 dogs http://photos.500px.com/1255114/4
  18. As the title says this is one of the lighthouses from Port Dalhousie. A lot of PP done in this as I blew the sky out. Taken with a 7D and a Sigma 17-70. PortD by d0nkynutz, on Flickr I will add one more. IMG_4908.jpg by d0nkynutz, on Flickr
  19. Well ISO800 worked well if you ask me. The purple/pink is something else.
  20. Thank you for that Brandon. Is there a reason you used iso 800 instead of adding a extra second or two for exposure?
  21. well done. Is the EXIF data in tact? You sir have serious talent.
  22. I would honestly say that this dog by no means should even be considered to be put down, you knew what the breed stands for you admitted so. We should do everything in our power to turn that dog around. Be there for the dog! Cause it would be there for you no matter what. There was no mention of anything you tried other than you segregated your yard. Put that dog into that situation but control the elements, the thing is dogs want to learn and be trained, it is up to us as the owners to do so. If you want I will try and make some calls locally for you (Niagara Area) but I suggest rethinking your actions. Also I would consider changing the title, Bad Dog certainly does not reflect the situation here.
  23. Ahhhh the 500 f4, too many decisions to make. LOL @ the moose, I still have yet to see a moose and I have driven across canada 2 times. Kind of disappointed about that. On that note I am very stoked about the 70-200 2.8IS. If you do not mind do you know the main differences of the version 1 and 2 of that lense?
