  1. WOW- that was some trip you were on !!!! Was wondering if the brookies that far away still hit EGB spoons and Panther Martins or do they prefer something else ??? Rook
  2. hmm bemoaning the manual auger ?? reminds me of the 2 guys i saw this weekend , one guy trying to crank the manual auger and the other trying to put his weight on it so the cutting blades would actually catch... now those 2 guys have a reason to cry over a manual auger !!! and the ice is only about 6 inches on Cooks...hopefully they will switch out cutting blades before more ice forms . Keep blades sharp and the last thing you should have to worry about is your manual auger.
  3. there is free parking if you get there early enough, just pay close attention to the signage...seems like a few less spots every year for free parking, the later you get there the further you park from the lake
  4. Thanks for the very quick responses !!! Much appreciated !!

  13. Need to go to Ottawa next month and was just wondering if anyone knew of some public launches in the Rideau / Highway 416 area that I could launch a kayak /canoe ??? Much appreciated for any guidance someone could pass along to me ...would be nice to fish for the day before work interferes...ROOK
  14. Would it be possible to know what access on the west side you used so others can decide to look for better access than that location ??? I mean if it really was that bad that you need a plank. I assume other areas may not need a plank to gain access onto the ice.. thanks
  15. I had downloaded the maps to my phone last year....did not get any notification to re-new though ....tried it this weekend and the maps are still on but it does NOT locate me on the maps...it also had "Navionics + Expired " at the top of my map...still don't know how to re-new ?????????? ROOK

  17. Hey GrayWolf...could you explain your compact rod holder "mod' you did on your yak ??? thanks
  18. Greetings, road trip to N.B. first 2 weeks of Sept. Know that to fish salmon in the Miramichi you need a guide ( thinking of doing this for a day). Am wondering what other chances I can have on my own to fish out there, maybe for smallies in rivers or lakes ??? Will be in the southwest areas of the province. Will see if there is some sort of forums for fishing in N.B. as well... all input greatly appreciated !!!!!!!! Rook
  19. Thanks for the replies, will look into these now !!!!!!!! Rook
  20. Was looking for some and hoping people can weigh in on this. Actually looking more for a model for the person in the bow that could clip to the gunwales. I can manage to wedge my rod in my knees while paddling in the stern...but will accept suggestions for this position as well as I know there may be some that you can modify to attach to the thwarts....Rook
  21. oh oh...does not bode well for me as I am going to Crane's in mid-Sept :-(
  22. In the Arctic, bear time is anytime, at least that is what I have found in my travels, always pays to be alert but just to clear up : summer the feeding season ? comment...............Polar bears are the only bear that do NOT hibernate = they ESTIVATE !!!!!!!!! Their main feeding season is the winter and they slow way down during the summer...but that does not mean they would pass on a free meal walking by them :-i ROOK
  23. so my 9.9 is getting on in age ( close to 20 now ) and it is time for a proper tune-up ...just wondering if someone can recommend a place to take it ...I am located in the GTA but have motor will travel based on good intel !!! Thanks in advance ROOK
  24. I do the Gilford area quite a lot and can walk out easily to them. Also parking is nice and close to the lake and free. How far off shore is Tim's operation if one would choose to walk out to that area ??? How about parking in that area as well ???? thanks in advance ...ROOK
  25. Could someone post some intel or a link to this please ?? thanks in advance !!!
