  3. i guess this means that 40% of the population have no right to complain about how things are run

  6. with the cool nights i'm sure some people have...if not, they will be soon
  7. try under the bridge, we were there last summer (or the summer before) and got some nice crappie from there. if you're sitting on the beach there the bridge is off to your right. dunno how to get there if you dont have a boat, we had a canoe and headed there that way. small jigs under floats worked for us. lots of nice looking for water for bass around the park. had a musky try and hit a crappie i was bringing in.
  8. Does anyone know if you can get a sticker for your outdoors card replaced? My girlfriend bought a license for this yr before our houseboat trip in late june. After doing some laundry without checking her pockets first, the sticker has come off of the card completely. I know you cant get 2 licenses, can you get the sticker replaced though? anybody know who I'd contact. Im gonna ask CT tomorrow, thats where she bought it. Is there a database somewhere? thanks Ryan
  9. certainly looked like alot of good largie waters there, all the smallies we caught were within sight of the houseboat, seemed like every spot we cast to had fish. cant wait to get back there at some point
  10. We went on a houseboat trip out of Gananoque for a week that ended on the bass opener. Right after we got home me and my girlfriend moved into a new apartment, hence the late LATE report. Anyways, we got to Gananoque on the saturday before opener, picked up our houseboat got all loaded up (the boat, not us...that came later heheh) and headed out Our home for the week, with Trevors boat Once we got to where we'd be docking for the evening we settled in and then me and my buddy Trevor were off fishing, he brought his boat and we towed it behind the houseboat. We fished for pike for the week and after figuring out a pattern got into a few fish. The biggest pike for the week came in at around 4.5lbs. Ever excited for the bass opener we spent alot of time scouting spots for the upcoming saturday. Finally the friday comes around and its down to getting all the bass gear ready. We were up nice and early on the saturday morning as we only had a few hours to fish before we had to have the houseboat back at the docks by 9am. We woke up to nice calm waters and a mist over the whole lake. This was the view from the back end of the houseboat as we got ready to get out on the water I tied on a bubblegum coloured senko wacky style and started casting into the rocky shorelines of some small islands, and on the first cast...fish on, a nice little scrappy smallmouth Trevor ties on a texas rigged brown/chartreuse worm and... bassin season has begun after a few more fish Trevor ties on a senko wacky rigged as well and we catch a few more fish about the same size of course, the WGSF made an appearance...pretty nice ones at that Then I toss the senko into shore and see this fish come flying in from probably 15' away, bit bigger fish After this, we cruise back to the spot we started to make a few more casts before ending our trip. we both cast our senkos into shore and BAM, double header. I lost mine right at the side of the boat (would've been a PB smallie for me ) but Trevor lands his fish. That signalled the end of our bass opener and the end of our GREAT houseboat trip to the 1000 islands. It was my first trip to this area, but definetely not my last. All in all, in 2 hrs of fishing we caught about 15 smallies, and numerous WGSF. not too bad at all in my eyes. Hopefully there'll be more reports soon. As soon as the work unpacking/organizing is all done. It WILL come to an end, wont it? Ryan
  11. cranks...thanks for all the info we'll have my buddys 14 footer/25hp boat towed behind the houseboat so we can be out fishing while the ladies do what they do. hydroplane races eh? any idea whereabouts or will i be able to find em pretty easy by the noise heh
  12. i'd go with the 4.0 liter motor over the 3.0 see too many 3.0l motors in the shop
  13. i leave early saturday AM for our weeklong houseboat trip in the 1000 islands cant WAIT
  14. cool, thanks any idea on water temps in the area? still pretty low like most places?
  15. Can ayone reccomend some bait/tackle stores in Gananoque? We're leaving this saturday for the area for our week long houseboat trip and I'm looking for a local shop to pick up a map, some bait and hopefully some tips I've never been to the area and dont know where any places are. Ryan (saturday can't come soon enough.... been waiting for this trip for a long time now)
  16. im an apprentice auto mechanic i'd like to get licensed someday heheh
  17. i'll be in the 1000 islands, out of gananoque...on the last day of our houseboat trip
  18. excellent, i'll be picking some up real soon thanks for the quick replies
  19. hey all I am looking at picking up a set of polarized sunglasses for on the water and was wondering which lens is better. Is there a difference between an amber, gray or yellow lens. I believe the yellow lenses would be good for low light conditions. I'm unsure of the differences between gray and amber. thoughts? ryan
  20. US pricing and Canadian pricing seem arent based solely on the exchange rate though.
  21. arent the website prices in US dollars? (except the flyers) that may account for the difference in price instore and online
  22. in the next few yrs (when i can afford a down payment on a house) we plan on moving out there. nice city, with nice country areas nearby... just dunno about fishing opportunities out there. other than the big lakes of course
  23. hrm, thats what i was worried about really. the size/bulk of them. i mean, im not getting them for fashion purposes i just wanna be able to see while im on the water, and of course protect my eyes. i was out at belwood for the day a few weeks ago for the derby there, and after i got off the water it felt almost like i had mild welders flash (i wasnt wearing any sunglasses at all, just my Rx ones). it'll be strictly for fishing really so as long as they're comfortable, and dont feel like they're gonna fall off they may be alright. i'm heading to bps this weekend so i'll take a look at what they got there. does anyone know of a comparable product, or something different that'd do sorta the same trick. ryan
  24. well, as the topic says im looking for opinions on cocoons polarized glasses that fit over prescription glasses. I've been lookng at a few different sunglasses that fit over Rx lenses and i've seen a few good reviews online for cocoons the style looks alright, and the price definitely beats getting polarized Rx sunglasses these things seem to fit the bill...lemme know!
