Been doing it at the machine for years, you need your current mileage, insurance policy number and a debit/credit card. Works like a charm.

One more. Good luck!

If I had the cash I would not have this "which one" issue. But I am looking for a used one in the 2006/2007 year model...

IMO most of the people are here for the love of the sport/past time of fishing. I bought an outboard a couple of years back and it turned out he was a member, just that fact sealed the deal for me. But a sub forum where you can post your success with new gear, or ask questions about boats and other things would be great for a newb like me... Just my thoughts.. Tony

Perhaps we should band together and ask all them weather folks to resign....

Hi all. I am looking to replace the van with a truck and would like to hear from any one on this forum the things they like about their truck. I am not interested in Dodge, and can not afford a Toyota or Honda. Thanks for your comments in advance. Tony

Thanks guys, I do like Pike but they can scare the little ones when they smash and run...I hope to find some action to put smiles on the little ones faces...The best memories are the ones where the fish plays the starring role, and the rest of us are the supporting cast. Will update on return. Tony

Hey all! I am heading to Restoule PP this Tuesday with the family for our annual camping trip and would like any info on the fishing up there. We have a 14 foot tinny and would really like to find some walleye or bass to enhance the kids camping experiance.

I'll be finishing my 20 years Regular Force service in April 09. I have enjoyed the time and look forward to many more years service as a reservist. I had three tours, Bosnia, Kosovo, and the Middle East. There is no other job like it. I thank you all for your kind words of respect, as I recall the days when the military was not as well regarded. Tony

Thanks to all, I think I'll take a shot at Lauderdales. I am a newbie to the boat launch thing and need a place with a bit of space. Will post a follow up on my return. Tony

Hey guys, I am hoping to take Monday off and get out to do some fishin. I could use a little info on Sparrow Lake and the best place to launch from. I have a 14 foot tinny, and I am lookin for some pike action. Thanks in advance. Tony

"First wife" + Mother's Day - Gift = Experience....Yes sir that math adds up.... T

Big Swede, fish are weird creatures. Picture this. My Dad and I were sitting in a 14 foot alumiminum, I am at the front, him at the back, so let's say we were no more then 12 feet apart, and at anchor. I was catching perch and pike like there was no tomorrow. Him, well lets just say he practiced his swearing a lot between fish number one and his last fish of the night (number two). I have no explanation for this. But sitting on your butt wishing for a big skie won't get er done. So keep beating the water and enjoy the outdoors, it does the mind and body good. Even a blind dog will eventually find a bone.....

Try boiling ginger and lemon in a pot and drink that nasty stuff...If that does not work let me know so I won't try it.....

I agree with tonyb, I think the kits are junk. Best bet is read up on what is working and try it out. But don't be aftraid to mix it up. As you can see for yourself on several post here, trolling for lakers and nail a bass, going for pike and come up with cats... Fish are werid some times...

Thinking Pike all the time...Can't get them out of my head...But I have heard that area is mostly Muskie.. I gather the two don't really like to share the same water.... Thanks for the replies, I'll post a report upon my return...with pics if I figure that part out...

It's time again for the guys weekend of fishing...Would like to try Balsam lake this year. I have heard that there are Bass, Pike, and Walleye. Any one been fishing there lately? Any info would be great! Thanks much.

Here is my first post, I hope it helps... Been living in the area for ten years and never took the time to go fishing. I guess I needed to be reminded of the mental benefits that a day on the water provides. Reserved a boat on Thursday, $15.00 and hour to a max of $60.00 per day, reservations are held until 8 AM. Cedar Park Campground. Arrived at 7:30 (Poker night with the boys helped me be a bit sluggish) to find that there was about 25 boats on the lake already. Little lake is a small lake about 2.5 Km at it's widest, and if you don't like weeds you may want to skip this one. It was about 17 degrees, and there was little cloud cover. I was out on the lake by 7:45. Being the first time on the lake I went for a quick trip to check things out. Weeds, grass, and more weeds. Not sure what to use I turned to the old red devil, it always produces. I anchored and begun casting. I switched spoons a few times moved locations, with no success. Switched to worms for a while to see if the was any thing alive in the lake...Pulled in three or four sunfish.."Well I won't get skunked" was my thought... I figured that casting was not working, or my location sucked, figured that trolling would be the answer. I put on a Mepps Cyclopes and headed to the back of the lake. Around 9 AM I nailed the first Pike, the perfect hammer handle, but still it was a pike and where there are little ones there should be big ones. I trolled for the next hour or so catching about 4 more each bigger then the last. Around ten I nailed the biggest of the day, just under 2 feet. This is when I started to think that having a net may be a good idea, oh well... I stayed in that area for the next hour or so trolling until it got too shallow, and turning around. Drifting and casting and the trolling some more. The action was fantastic, bringing 10 in the boat in about 90 minutes. All small but really aggressive, one even came opposite the lure and smashed it right in front of the boat. I could only see 3/4 of an inch of the top of the mepps sticking out of it mouth. Wow! Been a while since I've seen that. Good action in the shallow water too, although it's tough to keep the lure out of the weeds. All in all I had a great day. It is not northern Ontario where the big pike are, but it is only 20 minutes from home and the action was great. Next time I'll try and find some bass, but me thinks I'll need to read up on weedless rigs... If you go, watch out for the big snags, I had three that turned out to be pike that took me into the weeds. Fish and salad to go.....
