Jig n minnow?? 20-30ft of water, that's the winning combo for northern lakes this time of year. Good to see you had fun even though your motor died and you had lousy weather for a couple of days.

Bill, nice Lund!! Enjoy your boats fellas. I hope they get covered in slime.

Just double check to see what standard your Suzuki calls for. It will be a combination of letters and/or numbers ie. GL-5 which my Volvo Penta outdrive calls for.

Cutiepie!! Just think, in 2 and a half years, you will have another fishing partner, you get to bait hooks and unhook fish while she giggles and has a blast fishing with dear old dad.

I don't understand people. If something doesn't interest you whether it's fishing related or not related, read another post or check out another site. Don't sit and gripe about something you didn't find interesting enough for you.

Back up to Lake of The Woods. I haven't even scratched the surface there.

Nice pile of perch. I'm gettin' hungry for some fish'n chips.

That's the big thing everyone tends to forget, KEEP YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL!!! Yes a big truck is a pig on fuel, BUT, they aren't too bad if you are easy on the throttle. Kinda like guys complaining how their boat burns lots of fuel, same guys running around at full throttle all day, what do you expect?? BIGGER VEHICLE = HIGHER FUEL CONSUMPTION

I guess the OP wasn't looking for a Crestliner. Why should he buy your boat??? Congrats on your purchase and I'm sure you'll have her looking and running great in no time.

Yes you can still be killed in an accident if you wear your seatbelt, BUT, it lessens the risk of death or serious injury significantly. Whenever I forget to buckle up, a couple of little voices from the back of the car/van pipe up and say 'daddy, you are not buckled up' I want to be around for a while to see my kids grow up, so I buckle up.

My bro has an '06 Yuke Denali XL and loves it. The only things that have gone on it are the rear A/C line (common) and the power steering hose had a bit of a leak. Not bad for 140k.

Great report!! You guys did well with both the 'eyes and the smallies and 2 muskies to boot!!! That's what it's all about, quality time with family and friends.

It must have been nice to disconnect for a few days. So the weather sucked, big deal, you got to spend some quality time indoors and you did manage to wet a line. The two of you deserve some time to relax, you have had a very rough year.

That's a big animal!!! Angus is a heck of a guy, he thinks on his feet and was able to take down a big bear, deal with the meat and hide, get his plane off a sandbar, get the moose, get said moose out of the bush via chopper to cold storage and then drive back up north to retrieve it for butchering. That was an adventure of a lifetime that took a lot of saving, planning and preparation.

What a journey!! It certainly makes you thankful for having good health and the importance of it. Jen, you are a remarkable young lady and I wish you all the best in your life.

My condolences. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your little bud.

Nice boat!! Enjoy it and I hope it's all stinky next summer with lots of fish slime.

GBay, all the way. You can catch pike, walleye, bass, crappie, perch, etc... etc.... etc.... It's a good multi species fishery. I'm sure you can set her up in Penetang Bay somewhere.

Jeez, now I'm really thinking about doing my PAL/Hunter's safety course now. I'm hoping to go for Moose or Elk next year if I can get the courses out of the way and get halfway comfortable with my rifle again (I haven't done any real shooting in over 10 years, I used to shoot sub MOA at 200 yds with my .300WinMag). Nice Moose, pike and walleye. Isn't the far north nice???

Have her go out and get a couple of written estimates. Then she can have whomever she was the most comfortable with fix it. I've heard service advisors telling women that they needed a new flux capacitor and that it was a very expensive piece of safety equipment that their vehicle could not do without. I know a few guys that are Service Advisor's and whenever someone comes along that does not have a clue about cars, they see $$$$$$.

Enjoy down there Lew!! I hope you nail a couple of nice fatties.

Rock auto will have them to you usually within a week, I had some parts in 2 days and some took 5-6 days. I can live with the wait since I'm saving large. If it can wait, definitely go with them. Remember, this is coming from someone who has a good friend with a shop and pays HIS price for parts, not marked up for the end user. I ordered an ignition coil pack for my car a couple of years ago that was $465 here (shop price), Rockauto had it to my door for $270. Guess where I got it from??
