wow, this I would like to see. I always figured they raised heavy boats like that up to work on the underside, never would have guessed people flip them

congratulations on your new boat, looks fantastic (and very stable I might add!)

when is the season open? I always thought pike closed for April

and most kids get excited with a sunfish off the dock! I think this young man will have some higher expectations. Some great fish you're getting into

less lakeport around means less gut rot around...other than the unfortunate loss of jobs, this does not sound like such a bad thing. Once these folks can find some new employment the world will be a much better place.

I've burned out a 6500, Shimano Corsair, couple of Pete Maina BPS specials, and am now working on destroying an Ambassadeur Record...if it fails me too (it did survive last season) I may have to look at some of these more costly options

that looks really sharp. i took the snow tires off the wife's van tonight after work, hope to do my car tomorrow after work then MAYBE get the boat from my sister's barn this week-end. Maybe if I tell my wife "But Lew's boat is ready" she'll let me go get it!

haha Roy you sick puppy. Dan every time I come on here you've gone fishing! If its not tunnel-burrowing carp its perch on Erie. Good for you on landing the best one of all...a very understanding wife.

what a beast! and off the coast of Mexico? Didn't know there were great whites in that area

you guys are so lucky...how much longer til june? Nice fish

being prepared not only saves you a lot of aggravation but also everyone else waiting at the launch for you to get the heck out of the way! I know I get pretty frustrated when guys are dinking around at the launch. Personally i shove off asap and fire up the engine once I've drifted away a bit. If it takes some time at least I'm not holding everyone up. If it never fires up I paddle back the 20 feet to the launch or if feeling lazy drop down the trolling motor.

agreed. Always good to be ready before hitting the launch. I don't understand the point of view here though. You start off talking about "someone" at the boat launch having troubles, but then somehow you know how old this person's battery is and how it still had 90% charge. somewhere you lost me. Either you are the guy having no luck at the launch or you followed some stranger back to Walmart to check their battery??

agreed. They fixed up my minn kota trolling motor a few years back. Thing would only run at top speed...nearly fired me into the lake the first time I turned it on and it had this problem

she's a beaut

make them wear their pants at a respectable height until they are 20...by that time common sense should have set in

I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about (and no, I would not pay)

careful of those ballots! You never seem to win (at least anything good) and get hounded by all kinds of people. My wife signed us up for the "Welcome Wagon" when we moved to Barrie. yipes. I had calls and e-mails for months from people wanting to sell us stuff (with a discount of course) to welcome us to the city. Thanks for nothing

what was it doing, trying to tunnel through the bank when you caught it? Nice specimen though

were you gonna chuck 'em at teenagers...you know the ones with the pants? There's nothing more insulting than being smacked with a coarse fish.

Outstanding! Happy B-Day Wayne and many more.

that's disgusting, I can't believe people do that. I say follow fishingnut's example of the ol turd in the mailbox...also disgusting but at least people learn a lesson.

even in Barrie the worms are starting to come out. saw the first one today

single over here

if you can stomach one of them good for you

assume nothing...especially when someone has less than 10 postings
