I don't even fish anymore but they'll always be pickerel to me.

Very nice boat indeed, congratulations. Looks like it'll handle big water without any issues.

I put a keelguard on my glass Skeeter and they're quite easy to install. Here's an article on installing them on aluminum boats. https://www.gator-guards.com/tips-install-keelshield-aluminum-boats/

Thanks Dave, the existing cable is BELL and then I picked up a 3' coax this morning.

Thanks John, that's interesting.

What would be the reason for not using it John ? Far as I know they can only do good but then again I'm as far from being a techie as possible.

Thanks Dave, that's what I figured but thought I'd ask 1st before blowing up the new TV LOL

Hey guys, I bought a new TV this morning and also got a surge protector but have never seen this type before with the connectors on the bottom for cable/sat IN & OUT My satellite cable currently comes from the dish, thru the wall and hooks into the back of my BELL receiver. With this protector do I run from the dish into the "IN" connector then out the "OUT" and then to the receiver ?? If so I'll need to get another length of cable.

I always said if a fish couldn't catch up to a trolled bait he isn't worth catching anyways LOL

I used to have a 16' Crestliner and put a 6 HP Merc on the back for a kicker and although it was great for trolling it didn't have the power to turn the boat fast in a strong wind.

I was never much into walleye fishing but every May 24 weekend for many many years we did a trip to Quinte and always did well trolling minnow baits after dark in fairly close to shore over mud/weed flats in 10-12 FOW. Of course if your not into night fishing there's nothing else I can offer LOL

Water levels have dropped quite a bit over my way but the Otonabee River is still running fast and furious. The Trent system opens next weekend...(I think)...and if the river doesn't slow down a LOT I can't imagine any boats being able to navigate it with the crazy water flow.

Thanks for that Dan, very nice of you to say.

Nope, didn't know him Chuck, I didn't start fishing Pigeon till around 2005 or so.

Can't really help you with the tip Dan, we only ever hired a guide once years ago and it seems to me we gave him $100 for the 2 days.

Fantastic Dan, really great news !! Does the prize include airfare to BC and back ?

I had a house trailer at Youngs Point from '74 till 2010 and knew a lot of the local musky guys but don't ever remember the name Tom Edwards but hopefully you find what you're looking for Dax.

3 over 45 in an evening is good fishing in anybody's books....well done for sure !!

That's a nice picture of the fish and 52" out of Scugog is pretty rare so it's really something to be proud of.

Beautiful mount & what a great gift from your family.

I was over the bridge in Youngs Point an hour ago and it looks like the level has gone down a couple inches the last couple days.....hopefully anyhoo.

Water levels over in my corner of the Kawarthas haven't really been too bad until about a week ago but now they're starting to rise pretty fast. The water flowing thru the dams at Burleigh Falls, Young's Point & Lakefield is going very fast now and the Otonabee River is looking like the Lower Niagara. I went down to Youngs Point today and took a couple pictures but naturally they don't show what it's actually like but to take this 1st picture I was standing on a bridge and could actually feel it vibrating with all the water rushing under it. This is the Youngs Point lock and you can see the water is about 5" above the concrete wall where boats get tied up so probably at least 2' higher than normal. The barge has been in the lock all winter after doing some work in the fall but if the water rises much more it'll be sitting on the concrete. Haven't seen any homes in any real danger yet but the water is definitely starting to creep over some lawns and it sounds like we're all in for another deluge over the next few days.

Gonna get bad for lots more folks pretty soon too. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/article/rising-lake-ontario-levels-are-a-delicate-balance-niagara-river-intake-flooding-along-st-lawrence

Yeah, it's breezy over this way too. I planned on building some new front steps today but I think I'll put it off for awhile.

...if you don't mind watching snow falling on April 27th Crazy weather eh ?? LOL
