  1. Assuming the weight isn't an issue nor is the generator, I lean towards bringing them. You never can trust the weather, we've had cold fronts come in and shut everything down. It was only the "spots within the spots" that we actually were able to get fish. I have also found its a more relaxing pace to figure out and play with all the functions the unit has to offer. I upgraded to lithium ion batteries, and was impressed with the performance. Lighter and last a lot longer with my portable unit.
  2. We run a similar system on our fly in trips. So much easier than brining in that much water. We still bring a bunch in 1L jugs, but the filter would make the bulk of it. Bring an extra filter. We had one stop working one year. We would usually fill the bag from an open, deep spot in the lake, and let it filter out into one of those collapsible water jugs. I think the one we use is made by katadyn
  3. Great pics! We always have a good time there. Did you make the portage into Morin?
  4. Hey Guys Saw another post related to Seafoam. I can still offer this pricing if anyone is interested. I can have it shipped to any of our locations for easier pick up, if that helps. Currently our Guelph, Cambridge and Toronto locations have stock. Thanks again!
  5. How do you feel about going out with a guide? We went out with one when we were in Destin a few years back. Had an amazing time in-shore catching Reds, Sea Trout and Drum. I remember it being quite reasonable as far as the price goes... Having said that, majority of the fish were caught on circle hook and live shrimp. You could probably get a few starting spots by chatting up the local tackle shops.
  6. Angling Outfitters in Woodstock? personally havent used them for an install, but see lots of guys there getting work done to their boats....
  7. Brand new Blue Fox More Silda series lures for sale. Weights are from 1/4oz up to 1oz. Multiple colours available in glow or silver. $3 each I currently have a good selection at JJ's Convenience on Highland Road in Kitchener for easy pick up. Shipping available at buyers expense. Thanks for looking!
  8. i have brand new Rapala Shift Ice fishing combos for sale. They are available in Ultra-lite and Lite models. Both are 24" rods and come pre-spooled with Suffix Ice Magic line. I have them listed on FB for $50, but i will sell at $40 to OFC members. Thanks for looking!
  9. We use spinning outfits to cast out shrimp(we got from our resort kitchen). We did very well. Like the guys above said, locals are very appreciative of anything you can give. I left everything but my rod and reel for them. We used braided line, egg sinker, then Fluro leader to a circle hook. I had no idea what the fish were, but our little buddy from the resort kitchen sure was happy to keep them!
  10. I agree with GBW. I have a BPS one (got on sale) and its lite and comfortable in the summer, but adjusts big enough to accommodate bulky fall/winter jackets. Self inflating is the way to go imo...
  11. I picked up universal ones from Zehrs about a week ago. On sale as they are clearing out BBQ items. Haven't installed them yet, but seem ok. I believe they are ceramic coated?
  12. We just got back from a Fly-In with Air Dale last week. We slow troll worm harness to find them, throw out the orange marker buoy, and get on them with jigs. Impulse paddle tails worked great, but Z-man easily out lasted them. Not sure what they are made of, but they hold up way better! (we prefer the "H" shape marker buoys. Lighter and easier to pack) Clown finish body bait trolled also found some active fish. Mosquitoes were intense on this trip. Fly strips by the cabin lights helped. also picked up a small rechargeable bug zapper from basspro last year. it worked surprisingly well. I also install a bug net over my bunk. nothing worse than those blood suckers keeping you awake all night. It was mentioned to take tylenol/advil. i would also suggest a few antihistamines. We figure my buddy got bit by something on our trip. One morning he woke up and his finger was swollen to twice its size. Swelling got worse and started in his hand as well. 2 antihistamines and an ice pack seemed to do the trick. Took a full day for the swelling to go down. We aslo throw in some muscle relaxers, immodium, pepto tablets, and tums into our first aid kit. Hope you guys have a great trip!
  13. i grabbed this one (abu garcia maintenance kit) in spring, haven't used the grease yet tho... https://www.cabelas.ca/product/84838/abu-garcia-maintenance-kit
  14. Just a reminder as the boats start to get put away for the season. I am still honoring this price for members
  15. I still have an R-Type baitcast rod. No issues, but like Cosmos said, probably not worth the original list price. Some independent shops still have them around, but have been discontinued at large retailers. From what i have heard, they are streamlining all of their rod and reel lines. love their walleye series spinning rods though. super sensitive and great backbone.
  16. I've sold a few of these ones (link below), haven't heard of any issues. They do have local auth repair centers through Ontario. You can get different brands that still use a Honda engine. I have also heard TSC has good deals on them every so often. https://xstreamwashers.com/Products?Category=Generators

  19. My buddies used to get that 3M clear film installed. Def more than painters tape...lol. But it was good for a few years.
  20. I was worried about the same... So I went with aluminum angle bracket screwed to the mfg metal seats, and aluminum supports. 1/2 ply coated with fiberglass resin/apoxy. Also ran the gas tank to mid point, and had trolling motor battery up front. Def not going to win any races, lol, but it wasn't too bad...
