Winds are out of the NE Friday. In round numbers, Hamilton 25K, Toronto 20K and Whitby 15K. Would launching farther east help at all?

That makes perfect sense. Agreed.

That's my Dawson Bud. Without him, you guys would have starved! Well done.

Not sure..one of the prerequisites is eloquence.

Maybe call Paul and ask him?

I just scanned through this thread for the first time. So far, I know that you have a budget of 15K or less if possible. That tells a marine dealership that you have 15K to give them if they can convince you that what they're offering you for your money is a good deal. Nowhere have I seen what you need in a boat. It's kind of important to know. Do you want to fish bigger water than what you have in the past with the 14'? Want a side console? Tiller? Do you mostly fish alone or with friends? Will you have kids in the boat? Do you mostly cast or troll? Do you need a bowmount electric? All of the answers to those questions and more will help us help you. The dealer who asks you none of those questions and just needs to know your budget, should be taken off your list. Budget is important but it's only one of the questions. But hey....that's just my opinion. Good luck to you, Matt.

It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

Let's just call this cleaning up.

Happy Birthday young man! Indeed you HAVE had quite the year, not to mention your martial arts successes. Have the bestest day, your family is proud of you and we are proud to have you here with us.

If you remember Teem, you remember Wink.

I caught that cause I might have been a little more attentive. He said it was Lake X.

Sure I remember TAB It's not that old...early 60's is when it came out I believe.

It's ok to buy a 16' side console boat and CHOOSE to have a 25HP on it. You're the buyer, you make the choice. But to have it packaged that way as though it was a good, safe option, is nuts.

Legend isn't the only company selling under powered boats. My neighbour bought a 16' SC Lund packaged with a 25hp last year. That is just sick.

Get a few friends to lend you a coupla power packs.

Looks like there are a few more who'll be making an appearance. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we have us a convoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beauty report Jacques. Hold the brew and get those beauty truites cleaned!

Allowance? When did this come about?

I was scraping my brain trying to find a plausible answer for you Lew, but I think Brian zeroed in on it.

A really nice fish. Congrats to you and thanks for putting her back. Those lesions don't appear to be lamprey related.

Good on ya...I know bro will be proud. Proud but starving. You should be ashamed of yourself. Next time, hand off the throttle and on the camera. Fish porn is what we need here. Glad you had a good morning.

Cliff, you're probably using IE. Check your add-ons. You've got an unverified add-on in that list that is causing that.

Don't do that Lew! If you squeeze their eyeballs, they start losing their teeth!

What are you using on Joe Louis tomorrow, Paul? Gots the alleys and beds down pat?

You don't need a gaff, Art. We have Capt. Hooked with us remember? I'm really looking forward to seeing you boys again!
