Thinking of heading out of Lowbanks this weekend and wondering if the Perch are still shallow schooling? 12 foot aluminum so can’t venture far. Any info appreciated

Pretty sure I know the answer, but wanted to gain some more confidence in my decision. Need a 9.9 for my 12 footer. Transom is 16". Short or long shaft motor? For reference looking at a Suzuki.

Thanks everyone for the posts and PM’s. Decided on Hearst Air - Hillmer Lake. My kids are PUMPED. Really appreciate the responses. I feel confident I am taking them to a good place

Awesome thanks for the input!

Hi all, hope everyone is having a good winter. Looking for some recommendations on a family fly-in trip. Will be taking my 16 year old son, 14 year old daughter and 12 year old son. I find it hard to wade through the internet with all of the options so looking for some recommendations first hand. Here is what I am looking for: Have been on a few trips where 100 fish days were the norm. Looking for outstanding fishing (walleye mainly) Ok with rustic. We do not need anything fancy, but want an operator that takes care of equipment and where things are in good repair. Price - I know there are a ton of lodges at $2,000 per person, but I need something around $1,200 per person. Ideally within 10 hours of Toronto (not a must have....but preferred). I don't want to single out, but I looked up Cochrane Air and the reviews really weren't that good. Feel free to PM me with any first hand experience. This is a stretch for me to take everyone....not something I can do regularly so I really want the location to be perfect so I can focus on special time with my kids. Thanks a lot in advance for any help you can offer.

What would be a useful pic?

Thanks. Even the Merc dealer can't identify year by serial number...so weird.

Hi there, hoping someone can help me identify the year of my Mercury 9.9. The only info I have is a sticker on it with the serial number Unable to find anything on the internet yet. Serial starts with 0B315 Thanks in advance

Hi all, been a while since I have been on here, but looking for a recommendation for family camping on Rice Lake. 3 kids 16, 14 and 11. I have a tent trailer, but hydro is not essential. Have stayed at Golden Beach Resort years ago and it was just ok...looking for something better. Must haves - great shoreline fishing for pan fish (no boat). My kids love fishing. Nice to have - pool, water activities, resort activities Thanks in advance!

Will give that a try tonight. Thank you!

Hi all, haven't been on here in forever, so first of all hello to everyone. I need some help. Started my Yamaha F20 this year and no water was "peeing out". I tried to clear any obstruction around the hole and nothing. I took the lower unit off and replaced the impeller (old one looked fine) and still nothing. When I start the motor, I can tell it is pumping because the water is being forced out through where the lower unit and top end join. The only thing I can think of is that the water pump housing is leaking? Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have been on here (not sure why, but feels good to be checking in). Let me start by saying Happy New Year to everyone! I am looking for recommendation on a family cottage resort within a few hours of Toronto. It would be myself and my 3 boys (13, 11 and 9). Some of things I am ideally looking for are: Ample shore and/or dock fishing for pan fish (my boys can literally fish all day, so action is a must) Activities within the park (pool, playground, games, paddle boats, etc.) T.V. is nice for the bad weather days Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all. It's been a long time since I have been on here, so first....HELLO! I am looking to book a cottage / cabin in the Kawarthas for myself and my 3 boys (9, 8 and 5) in July, and am looking for some recommendations. Here is what I am looking for: Under $1,000 for a week Good dock fishing (wont be bringing my boat, but my boys are happy with panfish) Family oriented Swimming Bonuses (not deal breakers) Kids activities Playground Place to ride bikes TV for rainy days I have been saving for this trip for a year, so don't want to just book something because it looked good online. Thanks in advance for your help!

Nice job!!! I assume it wasnt expanding foam...or if it was, how did you contain it from flowing over? Also...what did you use? Mind sharing cost and where you got it?

Will be redoing the boat in the spring and am wondering about flotation foam. A lot of different opinions out there....pink board style foam from Home Depot or 2 part expanding foam. Looking for some opinions. I have a 14 ft Princecraft Fisherman. Thanks in advance!!
