You could try Brobiel Marine or West Marine they are both just across the border in Buffalo .

Lew no problem . None taken.

I know I tried to edit my post but could not figure out how to do it on my phone.

I just glad nobody made any spelling mistakes

I have the same boat but a '01 I don't have one bad thing to say about it. Great riding and handling (no feedback steering) . Mine has a nice big livewell, baitwell, lots of good laid out storage. What you might do about your motor issue is what a buddy had to do with Lund. He wanted to put larger motor on his tyee was he got them too send him a letter that their enginer / service rep. Ok'd the larger motor

Wait and see if he fish's off HIS dock and if you see him fishing off HIS dock call the MNR and tell them there is someone fishing in a posted sanctuary. Rob

After I slide my dropshot weight on I tie a small clear bead on the tag end my line to prevent the weight from slipping off. I started doing this last year and have found that it works well for me. Rob

Lake Erie for me. Been fishing the Buffalo area for a month now had some killer days can't wait to fish our side. I actually took a weeks vacation for the opener I'm off from June 22nd - July 4th. Rob

I've been going over to the US and buying my gas for the last 2 weeks. I haven't paid more than .90 cents/ltr $3.40/ gallon. Rob

Thanks Bob I was originally going to get 2 HDS5s but then we got hit with a 10%+ wage reduction at work. So now I'm looking at the Elite5 Gold which comes with the Gold card unlike the HDS5.I would like the linking together but I need 2 new units this year mine are getting really old. Rob

Thanks for the replies guys I appreciate it Rob

I need to upgrade my electronics this year(bow & dash) and was looking at the Lowrance Elite5 Gold Gps/Sonar. These are the units that come preloaded with the Navionics Gold cards(not the DSI units). Anyone using these units? I would like to hear any comments good or bad. I'm looking to get the best views of the bottom looking for hard/soft transition areas and fish tight too bottom. Also for suspended bait/fish. I welcome all comments pro or con. Thanks Rob

Stick with the Supreme it's a much better reel than the President(not that there's anything wrong with the Pres.)The Supreme is lighter,better drag,and a higher retrieve ratio(6:3/1). Rob

I have 4 of the Supremes,1 Arbour,1 older President, and 1 older Solara. Never had an issue with any of them.Good solid reels and you can not beat the price. Get 1 and you'll probably get more. Rob

Irish I double checked the patent # and that's what written #261546. Irish if you do happen too mold and make some let me know I'll take a couple of pairs. Rob

Hey Jim these are the same as you had I believe.They are a great pair of spreaders for small too medium sized Pike/Muskies. Closed Half way opened Fully opened Jim the only thing I can tell you about these spreaders is what's written on the side.It says "The Grabber a Fishing Tool" and a " U.S. Patent NO. 261546 ". There is nothing else written on them. Jim I've had these for 10-15 years so I do not remember where I purchased them. I lost mine for a couple of days while shore fishing for Pike a few years back and I was bummed out, so I know how you feel.Luckly I found them. As for replacing them all I can say is goodluck I have been searching for years to buy a couple of backup pairs. If you do find some let me know I would like a couple more pairs. Goodluck in your search Rob

I have had the poster hanging in my livingroom for years I thinks its a great ad

Thanks for the update Denis Rob

Hey Dennis what the verdict on the visiblity on the upper today. Thanks Rob

Every Christmas day I have too hear Emerson,Lake,and Palmer's I Believe In Father Christmas.

Here's a link that will give you all kinds of info on the joint restoration project between Muskies Canada and the MNR http://www.muskiescanada.ca/lsmrp/2007_LSMRP.pdf Rob

check out the Diawa Super tuned Advantage Lebarons has them for around $150 you will not be disappointed.

Oh I forgot mention that another thing too watch out for is the wakes from the jet boats they pretty damn big 2' atleast and if your not watching could toss you out.

No problem fishing the lower with that rig I spent many years fishing there all winter in a 14' with a 7.5 Ted Williams Sears on it.Just watch out for the current in the middle of the river right in front of the Queenston drift, there are some wicked whirlpools out there. They can be a little unsettling until you get used to them,but anywhere down stream from the Queenston launch you'll be fine.
