    2019

    Wishing everyone all the best in 2019. Tight lines!
  3. That sounds good I thought it would be good for marking structure while I am trolling. Hopefully find some spots and create some routes
  4. The boat is a 1991. The motor is 2018. So I might now have more money into the boat than makes sense! But I will keep it for a long time and it suits me. 17 feet long and 80 inches wide just barely fits in the garage. I had 2 similar sized aluminum boats and I prefer fishing out of this one. It’s a popular boat with musky guys in the states and I saw a few guys fixing them up. Very smooth quiet ride and pretty roomy for a small boat doesn’t get blown around by the wind as much as my last boats.
  5. Looking forward to trying side scan never tried it before
  6. Sometimes it’s worth it to spend a bit more for certain things. A large screen on a sonar gps combo is nice to have especially when your eyesight isn’t what it was lol!
  7. Shop around they couldn’t come close to the price I got on elite 9 totalscan.
  8. I just bought a Lowrance as it was a very good sale price but all the newer models I looked at were very user friendly. The best thing to do is go to bass pro and play with all the ones in your price range. The guy I talked to there was very good and informative. I bought a Lowrance Elite I like the touchscreen and the price was right. GPS sonar combo with side imaging
  9. Haven’t run it with the Yamaha yet. Looking forward to spring!
  10. Upgraded a ranger 680t. Been a fun project really like the boat. Replaced the shot carpet with vinyl and put a new four stroke on it.
  11. Beautiful lake. Fished it a few times with little success for Muskie but lots of bass. Watch out for shoals lots of depth variation
  12. I thought about the kayak. I wasn’t sure how much I would like fishing from one. Good exercise though!
  13. I saw the add for the bass boat. Lot of risk for the owner for a grand.
  14. So I sold my boat as I wasn’t using it enough I guess it’s back to rentals. So I was wondering if any resorts or marinas in the Kawarthas offer any boats a bit better than the usual 14 foot with 9.9? On the one hand I am kinda bummed I sold the boat on the other hand the no storing or towing fishing trips do have some appeal. I say that now but my tune may change the first time I spend the day in a rental lol! A resort on Lovesick has the wooden boats and I hear people like them so I will give them a try. A rental with flat floor and bow mount electric would be nice if that is an option anywhere?
  15. Had 2 Dodges fooled me twice. Never again
  16. That must have been the same guy that I encountered on Georgian Bay years ago, really rude and lectured me about musky and conservation license. I just told him hes missing the point. He kinda put a damper on a beautiful day by getting under my skin. Started going on about convincing a judge I would be in possession if taking a picture blah blah blah. Im pretty safe though since I cant buy a musky in the bay!
  17. Did the HD antenna for about 6 months but then I caved and went bell fibe. It wasn’t bad got about half a dozen channels with the antenna in the living room.
  18. I have small Lund fish and ski type boat with a 90 horse that fishes well and pulls tubes or skis no problem. That being said I bet that fibreglass Nitro would be a nice ride when it gets choppy. I bought mine new 16 feet 6 inches by 84 inches wide as that was my max for storage. If you have the room and proper tow vehicle that Nitro would be nice. I saw one on the lake and thought it looked about perfect. I would max out the motor if you can swing it.
  19. Seems like most places are weekly in the summer time. The only place I have found is Burleigh Island Lodge. Does anyone know of any others?Thx
  20. Our Weber is over 20 years old and the igniter still works! Been a great bbq
  21. Has anyone been to port perry launch? Just wondering if it's under water or usable? They were saying the water level was very low in 2016 maybe it will be a better depth this year?
  22. Let's face it the Oscars are a joke. There must have been lots of performances better than Affleck. He moped around for the whole movie.
