I throw Cowgirl double 10s with my TE on a 7ft MH St Croix Premier musky rod and have no trouble hauling it in. Absolute best reel I own. I don't even have a power handle on mine. I bought an Abu 7000i to chuck to big blades and rarely use it.

Have at 'em!! Does the dealer sell tires??? They can take care of this. They are just passing the buck. Give the manager a whole whack of grief. Ruin his day.

Lew, YOU FUNNY GUY!!! Hahahaha!!!

Jack, lug wrench, board, electrical bits and pieces (tape, connectors, wire), spare bulbs, and a spare tire. My bearings are in good shape and are well maintained. Too tight, no grease, leaky seals, overloaded, etc... are the main problems. Do a yearly check (more often if you trailer often). Lights get checked EVERY single time. The boat is a different story. I keep a dry box filled with cotter pins, tools, fuses, basic first aid kit, etc... a spare prop, prop wrench and piece of wood to wedge the prop for removal (after boating on GBay for years, I can do a Bo and Luke Duke prop change..3-4 minutes). And.... make sure I have at least 1/3rd more fuel than I need for a trip. I ran into people sooo many times that ran out of fuel, to the point I would let them row back in. Breakdowns, running aground, baffing shoals, I would help out. But running out of gas, that is stupidity, plain and simple. I did ONCE, and padelled my boat in, mind you it was only a hundred yards when I first got my boat and wanted to see how far it could run on 'E' (not far, when it indicated empty, it is).

Trailer tires do not get balanced routinely. They are not designed to travel at very high speeds. Guys that go 120kph+ pulling a trailer are insane. Keep it under 110. I see guys on the 400 passing me like I am standing still while I am doing 110 and they are pulling a boat, many with the little dinky tires. A few weeks ago we saw one bonehead pulling his tinny with one tire missing, just the rim, I pulled up to him and told him, his reply, ' thanks' and he kept going. Gotta wonder sometimes what goes through people's heads.

I think they should create a registry for the criminals that own firearms. I am quite sure that they will happily register their legally obtained firearms.

Again, Cliff shows what the word COMMUNITY means.

Ha with those wimpy 'toons. My neighbour at the cottage owns one of the local marinas. He recently delivered a pontoon to a customer that was a bohoemouth (think pulp fiction). This thing had an 8.1 I/O out back. 496 cubic inch big block pushing 425 hp. This thing was just downright STUPID. It'll go well into the 50s maybe even low 60s. A pontoon boat!!!

I run Sailun tires on my car and you know what, they are great. They ride well, handle well, are good in the wet and the snow. My tire guys recommend them highly. They sell everything as they are wholesalers and Sailun tires do not come back with problems like many of the name brands. I was a tough sell to go off brand. I always bought name brand tires but these have really impressed me. Hankook also makes a great tire. All depends on how much you want to spend. Goodyears I find wear quick, and not the performance tires. Michelins are good but like Goodyear, pricey. Spend a couple hours hitting some tire shops and see what they recommend. You may find a special purchase which translates to a great deal at one of them.

Happy belated bday!!!

Larson 190 Fish n ski, 4.3 Volvo Penta 48mph with trolling motor batteries, gear and a full tank of fuel. Mind you, I rarely rip it that fast, waay too hard on the wallet. I normally cruise at about 24-28mph.

Nice. Fishing with boys, tubing, meat and cold beer. Recipe for fun.

Scam. Don't bother.

Life kicks you in the groin. Your job is to puke, get up, dust yourself off and move forward, one step at a time and you will go backwards at times. Keep at it.

Trolling a big plug. Big dbl 10 Cowgirls. Big Jerkbaits. Colour deoends on conditions.

My average is about 8hrs per 'ski in the boat. Honey Harbour area though.

Village Marina. If it was just the truck with no trailer, I would say park it on bluewater road in front of the hockey rink.

Great report TJ!! Family always first!!

Fuse should definitely be on the positive cable. Not the negative. Could be either the motor itself or the pedal.that it turns and the prop does not spin makes me suspect that the motor itself is suspect. I would take Ernie up on his offer.....

Wow, sorry to hear about your pup. I guess that's part and parcel of living up north. Mind you, we have plenty of coyotes here in Oakville.

That sounds pretty good. As long as it runs well and everything works. It should be good. Make sure you get some sort of a warranty on it. That powertrain is not even broken in. Check behind every nook and cranny for mouse poop. They LOVE the RV lifestyle as well.

Switch. The relays and everything else works so it has to be that switch in the handle. Should not be too difficult.

Smith Camps if you want to be near Kenora. 25 minutes from town. Tons of great water up there. The place is decent and very well kept. I am planni g on staying there next summer. Witch Bay camps is supposed to be good too but they are waay out.

We used to go to tbe RV show yearly and DROOL while looking at the big RVs with the marble tile floors, leather couches, multiple big screen tvs etc..... make a list of what you want then go from there. It will get pretty long quickly. Make sure it works for you and your missus.homework is key.

Nice 'ski!!!! Woulda killed to see him a cpl weeks ago.
