Looks like you gave the bilge pump a workout that day along with your sphincter muscles. Quite a bit of pucker factor there. Still, looks like fun battling the waves. I've been out in 4-6 footers in that water and it can be very interesting to say the least.

I think we have another convert here. Remember, when you fish for musky, everything else is just bait!!

Yeah, I was the one who helped out the guy who had two trebles in his hand. You need these because they can cut a 4/0 hook like nothing. It's a safety thing, safe for the fish and safe for you if you need to cut hooks in a hurry and if you spend any time at all musky fishing, you will need to cut hooks at some point. Regular fishing pliers or needlenose are not up to the task.

Take a look at the Eagle units as well, they are Lowrance's lower price units, they are decent for the price. I have an Eagle 420 Fishmark that works perfectly fine for me.

There's bass, pike and a few pickerel to be had. I have fished the area 15-20 years ago and it was decent. I can't remember how deep the lake is though.

That's some good news!!

That's about the gist of it.

Me thinks I spotted a few familiar faces. Awesome video Marc!!

Hey Chunky!! Beauty ski Dax.

Good trucks, only problem being they like to drink gas by the bucketfull. If you really need one to tow or to haul people around, go for it, if not, get something smaller, your pocketbook will thank you. I kicked the idea around 4 years ago and settled on a minivan, no regrets, 6 people no problem, 7 in a pinch, lots of space and it tows my boat (19ft fish'n'ski i/o).

Ouch, that will leave a mark!!

A lot of this going. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. Take care of yourselves.Good luck.

Wow!! Wayne, hang in there!! She is young and a fighter. Take care of yourself and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bruce

Have a good time there kids!! Lets see some pics of your little mini getogether and hopefully some pics of stinky, slimy, toothy muskies!!

Find yourself some old school thick wool socks.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jack and his wife. I've never met him but feel I got to know hime from when he was a regular poster a little while back. Get well!!!

Opinions are like asses, everyone has one. It does not matter what outboard brand you look at, there will always be someone who had a lemon, it's the chance you take, that is what warranties are for. E-tec is technology that has been around for a couple of years now and they will have worked many of the bugs out. I'd think about it if I was in the market for an outboard, they are a lot lighter than a comparable 4stroke (although they too have shed quite a few pounds) and are very fuel efficient. Any engine run at full throttle is going to burn lots of fuel, the question is, how much does it burn at cruise??

I'd rather hear PanPan than Mayday mayday any day of the week. Good for you Lew!! I think that when I grow up and get a bigger boat, I will have a radio mounted in it. For the time being, with the places I boat and fish, there is always cell coverage and my handheld marine radio is sufficient.

Cracked Valves!! Ouch, that will leave a mark!!! I'd hate to imagine what would happen if it broke during flight, you'd have a real nose heavy glider.

It sucks but at least your dealer is taking responsibility for the motor not running correctly. I had an issue with the carb on my I/O and when the season was done last year, my dealer rebuilt the carb and tuned up the motor for me no questions asked, and no quibbling. You'll be good to go for next year. The boat looks great but it's too clean and new looking, it needs some fish slime.

Well, congrats to you. Get a bigger boat now!!

I call Bull!!! The bullet is not deformed at all, you could not see if the rifling marks were on the bullet, with a Glock, the bullet would have some deep rifling marks on the sides. Hitting ice would really crush that slug so I do not believe!!

Nice!! You have no idea I miss the in-laws cottage on LOTW... Not the out-laws, just the cottage and the lake....

There are musky in GBay that are deep water dwellers that are almost white in colour so I can believe it.
