I just put line on one of them ....and am now bouncing the remote for my stereo from it..

My wife thinks I'm nuts ..

Looks tougher than I thought...

I have one problem so far .... the first thing I noticed is that the guides are very very small and will probably ice up pretty quick while out there in the winter.

I'll try 'em out tomorrow or Sunday.

So I met this guy called Mike.....he happens to be the President and CEO of this company called Penfishingrods.com....

He said he'd send me some of his rods for free and pay me a small amount to produce a winter ice fishing video...to be posted on YouTube....

Guess what? they came in the mail today..

I was a little leery, when I first opened the package...but I then stretched them out ..

and shook the hell out of them..

They are very well built..

I'm going out tomorrow and will try them.

I'll have to post three pics in a row..

Very nice... a gun on his lap and you could call it "The Watch"

 

Randy, I didnt know you were an artist.

I can draw but I wouldn't call myself an artist

:Gonefishing:

:clapping:

Great Job with the painting!!.......

I can't paint but I can do this with a pencil...and coloring crayons

Keep up the Great work!!

I am 100% positive that they are here.

We have a population here in West Nipissing...in fact less than 2 miles from my place ,,

A local farmer on Stewart Rd ...has pics...and Laurentian University professors are here regularly

they set up cameras and such in trees....so far there are 4 confirmed individual cats.

The local cops are also aware of them..

My family and I have personally seen one on Clear Lk Rd this past labor day weekend.

No doubt in my mind that they're here in Ontario.

On my buddy's boat It hasn't leaked a bit...we used a grommet set with silicone and ran the transducer wire through it and siliconing that hole as well...looks like a PRO job.

Much like the livewell discharge on a boat.

Hasn't happened here in 4yrs...leave enough slack and you'll be fine.

Rustic-Fisher has a great deal....I used to have one of those sleds and I beat the crap out of it

Tough as Nails!! Pretty fast and not so bad on gas and light too.

Great deal !

or you can get one of these!! Mega$$$$$ Ski-Doo Elite

Walleye or Pickerel?.........

Here ya go!

:clapping:

Couldn't have said it better.

I did the same thing to mine....here's what you do.... tie wrap the cable to the foot of your TM where the shaft meets the motor....do the same on the top ...go over the powerdrive I've had mine this way now for 4 yrs and have had no problems...leave slack in the cord so that you don't collide with the powerdrive....or you can do it the right way and take the TM apart and drill a few holes one at the top of the tube and one at the bottom of the tube and cut, run and splice the transducer cord through the tube...seal up the holes with silicone...make for a headache... we did this to my friends TM... works fine... the only this that is different is that it looks better.

hope this helps...

I'm usually a solitary fisherman...I'll go out with the kids but most times I'm alone in the boat.

BUt two weekends ago I was alone IN the creek..

I went out for Specs. I tried to leap over a narrow spot in the creek to get to a pool I've never fished....The creek was wider than I thought...I ended up on my in the creek with water over my head and legs stuck in the mud....I managed to grab onto some CATTAILS..and little branches on shore and pulled my head out of the water for a breather.... after about a minute

{felt like a lifetime}..of doing this I started to move my legs around.. I felt a rock or a log under my left heel and gave it all I had ..... I MADE IT OUT!

I went back the next day with my wife and kids to get my fishing rod from the bottom of 'Ol Smokey Creek ...I used a stick.

I fell In last fall 54% degree water ...I tripped over my net and in I went off the bow...I was wearing my Ski-Doo suit boots and all... the current brought me right by the transom where I grabbed on and pulled my frozen self into the boat. NO PFD

Needless to say I always wear a PFD now when I'm with my kids or alone.

As for fishing creeks with a PFD forget it....I'll take my chances...again.

Muriatic Acid.....mixed 40% acid 60% water.. soap and water afterwards.

Can't keep it on the shelf.....most marinas are snapping it up. 'Tis the season.

If ya wanna go "GREEN" Captain Phab...Hull Cleaner works pretty good ..

I've used soapy water and a scrub brush...and have got the same results but I used alot of elbow grease.

Varsol shouldn't damage anything.....if you're worried try it on a " sight unseen" spot like under the seat...or on the foot of the motor.......wash it off with soap and water right after ..

I've used Varsol and Thinner...to wash off tar and sap.... and yellow paint from the highway off the finish of my vehicles...no damage yet...... just don't let it soak.

Good Luck!

Does anyone remember ,.I think it was called.." Casting Out" ..... It was hosted by Vince MacDonell....

I could do without it.

What time is supper?

Way to go Randy.

 

Did you see Mario , Al or both ?

I seen Mario... he was in a BIG fiberglass tub...25 foot or so.

......

EH! Clamp-It .....how do you know Mario & Al S...?................I used to work w/ Mario and I know Al pretty good too.... I did the airbrush on his limo.

Nice job Randy!

 

I tried that batter once that you have on the table. It made me sleepy...lol

 

Cheers

Megan was coughing on the water ... when it came time to take the pics she had put her PJ's on and grabbed the bottle of cough syrup...

That's what I take when I run out of Beer!

Nice looking fish Dan.

 

I wasn't able to make it to Sturgeon falls/nippissing this year for the first time in about a dozen or so years. The guys I usually went with were too tied up with work this year. Hopefully next year we'll be able to put our annual trip together again. I sure miss your part of the country at this time of the year !

I ran in to your usual guide today......I outfished him.. :thumbsup_anim:

But he managed to catch a 28.5" and a 25" this morning...

My daughter and I managed to catch 18 Walleye today and managed to keep 6... most were in the slot.
