Just pay attention and be careful up in that north east corner Mike as some of those rocks are hidden just under the surface. Best of luck with the muskies when you get up there.

Hey Goran, there's probably enuff room in your suit for both me AND your brother After much deliberation I've decided I don't want to spend several hundred $$$$ for a suit that won't fit, so I've taken the advice of several of our members and am gonna go with the Mustang Integrity jacket and get bib pants to go with them. Seems like lotsa good features to this coat, including the soft material in the collar and pit zips for ventilation. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Thanks to you too Pete, we were posting at the same time.

Thanks Joe, I think I've decided on a 2 piece as there's doesn't appear to be any one piece suits in the size I want.

Thanks for taking the time Roy, I haven't checked the HH suits but I'll see if there's anything around here. I'll also call those 2 places on Lansdown but I think their more into jogging & running types of things. I just had a look at LeB's website and they carry a couple different Mustang coats so it may be time for a drive. I'm not into ice fishing but we fish the softwater right up until Dec. 15th

That sounds good Terry, I think I'll look into something like that. I've already got waterproof insulated pants but would prefer the bibs. I was in CTC in P'Boro the other day and they didn't have any floater coats so I'll make a few phone calls today.

I went as far as phoning Mustang customer service in British Columbia yesterday afternoon and she said there are no suits made in shorter versions. Seems strange that nobody makes them when so many folks are looking for them. Even the ladies extra small suit comes with a 29" leg. Terry, the 2 piece suit may be an option for me and with the amount of time you spend on the ice they must work well. Did you get the insulated bib pants to go with the jacket ?? And also, where did you buy your suit ?? Thanks everyone for your suggestions and my search will continue, and thanks for the offer on your old suit Garry.

Hey guys, I'm 5'9" and 220 pounds and I can't find a survival suit to fit me. I've been looking for 2 years now but every suit I look at is for someone 6'4" it seems. I can get them to fit in the chest but the legs are about a foot too long. Nuthing up here in the Peterboro area and I just got off the phone with Gagnons, BPS and LeB's and their suits are all for tall guys. Where the heck do the un-tall and un-thin buy their survival suits ??

I'm running a 150 Yamaha 4 stroke Mike and after 2 seasons it still purrs like the day I picked it up, and I have full confidence that a smaller Yamaha would be excellent as well.

You had a good day on Stoney Kwan, and if your looking to learn about bass fishing, Steve is definetely the man to learn from.

No offence to you Vinnie, but I have a real hard time feeling sorry for anyone that runs outta gas, specially when it's not the 1st time it's happened. Doesn't take any time at all to gas up before you launch the boat.

I've been wondering where the heck you disappeared to John, but now that your back it's good to hear your on the mend. You add alot to this board and it'll be good when your back on a permanent basis again.

Hey Joe, I wonder if you and I were even talking to the same guy yesterday. When I called in the afternoon there was no hesitation at all when he said they had one small cabin and 2 motel units still available.

Boatland Canada is a Merc dealer and probably has them, or can get them for you. Hwy 115 just north east of Bowmanville

Good to hear I'm not the only one who jacks up the trailer for winter storage. I actually raise mine high enuff to get the tires completely off the floor then support it all around with a bunch of jack stands.

Thanks Roy, lookin forward to it, I haven't made the fall trip since our 1st g2g 4 or 5 years ago. I also asked about the reserved docks and was told that no, none will be reserved but there will be enough for everyone...hopefully.

Harrison and I are now booked into cabin 7 at Merlands for the 19th & 20th and there's still 2 motel rooms left. As of 2 hours ago anyways.

You got that right my friend

The 20th is a Saturday so I'm assuming we'll all be heading down on the 19th ??

Hey Phil, I think I'm gonna go this year and your more than welcome in my boat.

Jamie's a friend of mine and somebody I enjoy fishing with, infact he's one of the funniest guys I've ever had the pleasure of sharing my boat with. I enjoyed the 1st episode of his new show this morning and hopefully he does really well with it. Best of luck my friend !!

WTG moemoe, couple very nice fish you got there. And Dutch, very well said.

There was a post here a coupla weeks back where someone was asking if it was worth spending the extra $$$$ to buy Knipex cutters rather than cheapo side cutters for musky fishing. This was the EXACT scenario I used to explain why Knipex cutters are worth their weight in gold. You get hung up on a large musky with a couple big trebles buried in your hand and if your Mickey Mouse cutters won't work, your in HUGE trouble, specially if your alone in the boat. If your fishing for muskies, BUY THE PROPER CUTTERS. Kudos to you Bruce for helping those boys out !!

That's really fantastic Steve, congrats to the pair of you !! To win a tourney is great, but to win it while being partnered with your Dad is as good as it gets.

Don't know what they are but I've had them popping up all over the place in the last week or so. I've seen them grow up to 6" high practically overnite.
