Try Nutriflex along with fish oil supplements. Give that a month or two before you start taking heavy meds that will end up messing something else up. Good luck.

Did he buy it certified?? If so, drop it off at the shop that did the cert and have them fix it on their dime. Otherwise, let them know you will be notifying the MTO of the problems with the brakes. Most likely, the problems are with brakes that are sticking, could be bad wheel cylinders, out of adjustment brake shoes, bad calipers, etc... Have it looked at pronto, it's not safe the way it is right now.

Get a 14ft or a 16ft tinny. 12 you will grow out of the first time you use it. For the 14, get a 15 or 20hp motor and the 16 at least a 20hp. You might be able to find a decent pkg for as little as 2000 bucks and the sky is the limit. Good luck.

You are setting yourself up for more headache and heartache. The guy doesn't have the cash to pony up but is out talking about flowers that he bought for his girlfriend and going out and getting gassed up. Do you really need a guy like this around?? Seriously?? I know you are trying to get a guiding service going but it's a tough gig to make any real money. I'm not going to preach to you about how you should live your life or make your living but BE REALISTIC AND BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you want to do.

A tip of the hat to you.

They've got too much power and control over our lives. The worst thing the feds did was take down the '3 Pillars' of financial services in the 90's. Banking, Brokerage and Insurance were all kept separate from each other and for good reason. Now banking and brokerage are done in branches and the insurance is next door. Thankfully, Chretien and Martin didn't let them merge, if that happened, it would pretty much be a monopoly here and there would be too much power in one single company. We need to keep tight gov't control over the banks lest we have a situation like the US where they control pretty much everything. So, good for you with going to ING.

You have to be sure of your RPM's, do you have a tach on the boat?? If you drop too low in pitch, you may raise the rpm's above the recommended limit and that will definitely end up badly for your motor, overevving is not what you want to be doing.

I find that if I layer my defences, I don't have too much of a problem, spray myself down with a bit of Muskol and fire up the Thermacell and I don't get 'bugged' too much. If it's a bit breezy, it's not too effective but when it's windy, the bugs aren't out anyways. So, here's for some wind and some walleye chop!!

Looks like a good time was had by all, nice to see the young guy putting on a clinic for the old pros.

Cars need to be run up to full operating temp and stay there for a while to prevent this sort of thing. Regular maintenance ie. oil changes should be done at the recommended intervals from the manufacturer, not the dealer who sometimes cuts them down to get you in there more often spending money unnecessarily. Also, with the new engines out there, you really have to pay attention to the correct type, quality and grade of oil. Jeez, before, you'd go to Cdn Tire, pick up a few liters of 10w30, a filter and you were good to go, now you have to make sure that it meets Ford spec564945846944 or Honda spec366454213654 etc..... These new engines can get sludge buildup really quick now if the maintenance schedule isn't followed.

If your currrent prop is working for you, get another one that is the same. If you want one that planes better, go down one size in pitch keeping in mind that your rpms at full throttle will increase by a couple of hundred, if you are looking for more top speed, go up one size in pitch, you will drop a couple of hundred rpm BUT it will take longer to get on plane with a full boat. Prop selection isn't an exact science and really is about trial and error to find what you like and what works for you. That's why I said to stick with what you have if it works for you. Collecting props gets expensive. Make sure you have a spare prop nut, locking ring and cotter pin. You won't have a problem hitting rocks if you pay attention to your charts and your fishfinder.

Happy Bday BB!!!!!

Oh yeah, the sauce and crust are the two most important things on the pizza because everything is added to them. For delivery, you can't beat Mamma's Pizza and Pizza Nova, they serve the highest quality for all of the franchises out there. They both have great sauce and great crusts.

Whenever we make pizza at home, my super special secret ingredient in the sauce is a couple of anchovy fillets cut up and mashed into it, it gives the sauce a 'I don't know what that is but it tastes good' flavour. Then, homemade Italian sausage, hot Calabrese salami, red peppers, mushrooms and some onions. Super Deeee-lish!!

7ft MH action rod, Curado 200 or 300 spooled with 50lb braid of your choice and 80lb flurocarbon leader. For live bait, 7ft MH, 3000 Stradic spooled with 30lb braid and 80lb fluro leader with a 5-0 hook and a nice 3x strong treble set up quick strike rig style.

Kudos to you Paul!! The next time I have to play appliance repair guy, I'll be contacting YOU!

Check with your local Ford dealer, they might be able to order one in for you OR at least steer you in the right direction, I know with GM, they give you the website for the printer and you get one directly from the printing company.

I was going to suggest this, seeing if a marina will store your boat for the season and let you use the ramp for a fixed fee for the season. I know up in Honey Harbour there are a couple of marinas that do this and charge $250-300 for the season. As for having power at the dock, it will end up costing you more and it usually limited to marinas as trailer parks don't want to spend the big money involved in running electricity to a dock and having outlets at each slip. It's one of those it would be nice kinda things but not a necessity. I know, I have to pull my TM batteries out of the boat and bring them up to my trailer to charge them and it's a pain.

No, that's why you use marine grade plywood which is nice and expensive but worth the price. Set it in place, fasten it and then carpet it and you are good to go.

You are probably looking at about $500-800 for the season depending on where and what if any ammenities are offered. The trailer parks could be a good option since they usually have a park of some sort for the kiddies to entertain themselves while mom/dad get the boat uncovered, loaded, and fired up. Get on this quick because if the Kawartha's are anything like Honey Harbour, slips go real quick and are pretty much unobtainable once the boating season begins.

As for hardcopies, there are a few different maps of LOTW when put together will give you the whole thing(8 I believe). 6216, 6217 and maybe 6212 are the ones you want.

I usually try to make it out to both, the Spring Fishing and Boat show mainly for fishing and the Sportsmen's Show for fishing and outdoorsy stuff. Helps break up the doldrums of winter to spend a couple of days wandering around looking at the latest and greatest gear.

Lake St Jo is on my bucket list, it is supposed to be a walleye and monster pike factory with limited fishing pressure. Good to hear you enjoyed it.

Well, no more agonizing over which boat. Now to start thinking about the top and whatever else you want to do to it while you are basking in the Cuban sun. Congrats, enjoy the boat.

Definitely Stateside. He should be able to find something in Wisconsin or Michigan without too much trouble.
