Crazy looking clouds for sure and some great pictures Joey. We got some heavy rain over this way for awhile too and it was very welcome as it was the 1st rain in 15 days. Could still use a bunch more though.

Bubbling isn't a "normal" thing on a boat though, and myself, I'd be very interested in knowing what's causing the bubbling if I was thinking about buying it. But that's just me

I prefer the butt seat myself as it keeps you in a standing position, but I only use it for support on windy days when the boat is bouncing around. It just helps to keep things a bit steadier in rough water.

I've used the Strikers for pickeral set-ups Mike and they work OK for that type of fishing or even smaller musky baits but I doubt they'd ever handle the pressure from baits like Plows or Frankies

Salties for me too.

Are you saying there's unethical fishermen amongst us Roy ??

It was reported on Peterboro news this morning that someone spotted a cougar near the Otonabee River over the weekend. That's the only details that were offered

That's the same one I use, their excellent !!

Sheesh Paul, 1/2 the fun of fishing new water is figuring it out, finding the structure and what the fish are looking for. If your gonna call a buddy for help as soon as you can't find a fish, you may as well sell your sonar and call a seafood distributor and order some fish for delivery :lol:

Get yourself a set of Knipex cutters Simon, you can easily cut any sized hook with one hand. Kinda spendy but well worth the $$$$ when your hung up with a thrashing fish on the other end of the lure and you need to get free in a hurry.

I guess "OUCH" would about sum that up That's not the way it's sposed to be done Simon

I don't know anything about them but evidently their a MK repair center Boat Tech 1058 Copperstone Dr Pickering 905-686-5008 Or there's Aikmens in the west and their pretty good.

What can we say

Just remember though Mike, one 50 inch fish is better that ten 45 inchers

shhhh, I was trying to keep that pond a secret Steve

Plenty of good fish in the Kawarthas Mike with lots up to 50" and over. Certainly not as large as the fish from some of the bigger bodies of water but every bit as spunky. What the Kawarthas lose in size is made up by numbers and it's not at all unusual to bag 6 or 7 a day which certainly keeps things from getting boring.

I agree Grimace, lotsa good products on the market these days. Pretty well just boils down to personal preference and customer service.

I had a fella at the house here recently with a brand new Ram with all the bells & whistles. He said he'd always owned F-150's before but wanted to try something different and said the Ram rode much nicer than the Ford. I still like my Ford though

Time to get a Yamaha Mike

Yeah, I like that, nice colour too !!

I always find it kind of ironic that people think it's perfectly fine to kill all the animals they want for sport, but as soon as an animal kills a human everybody wants it destroyed cause it's dangerous. Sorta like everyone says to destroy all the cormorants cause their eating too many fish, but when a fisherman goes out and catches a boat full of fish, everyone congratulates him and says what a great fisherman he is. Kinda funny really.

Good to hear everythings looking better Mike. Grandfather's are tough guys, that's how they lasted long enough to get old

Nope, but they were well fed

Agree with you 100% but it seems like some folks just like to slaughter every animal they encounter. We've had plenty of encounters around here since I moved in a couple years back. They've been on my front lawn, the driveway another time and in the back yard on several occasions and everyone else on the road has had them too, specially in the early spring. Their just hungry after a long winters nap and looking for an easy meal but nobodies ever had a serious encounter with them. Just this morning I watched a show about black bears up in Anchorage Alaska and the darned things are everywhere and wandering around town like lost cats. They claim even up there where folks SHOULD know better they still put the garbage out too early and the bears have a feast. They still don't kill the bears though unless absolutely necessary, they just dart them and haul their butts away although they admitted they normally find their way back.

Nothing to worry about Roy, I was just curious is all.
