As for guides, if you are looking for musky, Johnny Dadson is your man. Google him for his website and contact info. You'll need to spend some time learning the waters in the area you settle in.

Lots of places for sale. Depends on your price range. A few cottages have come down in price (ridiculous pricing to begin with). I guess you are looking for a boat to place. Road access cottages are huge dollars. North Bay has some really nice spots and is scenic. As mentioned above, stay away from the channels. It WILL drive you crazy. There's also a nice little bay across from Marina Row that is fairly deep. Lots of good fishing around if you know where to look. We have a trailer in HH and love the area. A cottage there in the future is a definite possibility for us.

NICE!!

Change the oil as per recommendations. Break it in nicely and you'll be running that engine for a loooong time. Enjoy.

Extra 25 ponies, no brainer. Consensus from those running optis is that they love them. Go for it.

Nice ride. Get'r slimed up reeeeal good!

BTW, go with the biggest trolling motor you can afford. You WON'T regret it.

Abu 7000i. Big, strong with a low gear ratio made up for by a large spool. It can double as your trolling reel.

4-4.5k. That's it. It needs motor work. Who knows what is going to be found once its opened up. Count on at least a grand to fix the engine. Once its apart, the rings and pistons may as well be changed on the other cylinders and it may need To be bored and honed. How old are the batteries?? Electronics?? Etc......

I hate to tell you this but its a bad idea. There's liability issues as well. Does your boat have insurance and who does it cover?

Go with 15 percent. Try that and work from there.

My alltime favorite body of water. NICE!!

You don't need a pressure hose. Regular garden hose works just fine.

Starbrite Hull cleaner. Available at Cdn Tire. Mix 50/50 in a spray bottle with water. Wet hull with hose, spray on, leave for a few minutes, get a car wash brush, give quick little scrub and hose off. VOILA!! Never fails.

You got that right Lew!! We had a great evening on Friday, lots of catching up (one of the guys comes up from New Jersey). All of us except 1 of the group are married and most have kids now so the nature of the trip has changed from a weekend of partying with some fishing to a weekend of fishing with some partying. Good times.

I'd be going after him for the part in question, threaten that you will be calling VISA and notifying them that his business defrauded you(them). That'll straighten them out right quick.

We were 3 for 4 on Saturday. The weather was unbelivable. The fishing wasn't great. We landed 3 fish which was enough for a fish fry yesterday afternoon. Good time with old friends.

Yah baby!! Hittin the road @ 1. Here's to hoping I catch a 20yr old pike.

Boat washed and ready, batteries charged, gassed up (owwwwww!!) all systems go.

Rods ready, tackle ready.

Now if the pike up there are cooperative for me and the boys. The Riverside Inn is booked for our normal suite. This is our 20th annual trip to Bracebridge. Now for Friday to come so we can hit the road.

Mine is Sunbrella. Its 11 years old and still going.

Nice Lew!! That's the Cadillac of musky setups. We have to get out and wash a lure or two this summer.

Happy Belated BDay!!! I hope you had a great day yesterday.

BJ Tackle is right in Bewdley beside the boat launch. Good luck on Rice.

Not good news. I used to ride my dirt bike in the Ganny when I was a crazy kid.

Good for you. Don't mess around with that. Also, get the suspension checked on the trailer. You don't need to take unnecessary risks. It could be a fairly easy fix. Check out iboats.com. You should get a pretty good idea of what exactly the problem is on the forums there. Great resource for anyone that has a boat.

Abu Record is a good reel. The 60 size. It is in your price range. Okuma makes a halfway decent reel as well.
