    When I was a kid (around 1952 or 3 ) we use to fish a little creek in Quebec that ran into the Lake of two mountains. We caught all sorts of things but I do remember us catching some large eels. Quite often people would stop and buy them from us I think the going rate was 5-10 cents for a nice one. I never see or hear of anyone catching them anymore. I would love to get my hands on some to smoke, I had smoked eel in Belgium and absolutly loved it. Anyone know where I  might fish for them in Southern Ontario?

    The European deli beside beer store gets shipments of eel in

  2. 4 stroke more.reliable and much better than a 550 fan motor resale higher as well. As for cooling i have one the harder to keep cool 4 strokes and with the addition of lots of studs can run pretty much bare lake with no overheating of engine or sliders. Regardless of engine you need snow to lube slider rails also other tricks to get ice cystals spraying such as scratchers or putting a single stud through rear of a ski

    Thank you ketchenany ecmilley GBW and Old Man for your advice and tips. The sensors are supposedly fine, the dealership says it is some electronic module and they want $4000 to fix it which I think is plain stupid, the truck is in awesome shape with new brake and gas lines new ball joints tie rods etc

    There must be a cheap way to bypass this as mentioned the rotors and pads are also like new.  I have heard some Ford trucks have an over ride switch. however mine does not being a sierra

    After repairing a few million of these trucks it is possible that the module is bad. But more than likely its a green wire in the system check by frame.rail under drivers door couplemconnectors and an abs module look for swollen.broken.wires undo connectors check for corrosion

    Hi everyone

    I have a 2005 sierra 1500 crew cab  I had the brakes checked three months ago and pads and rotors are fine .  But the abs is acting up and GM up here wants a stupid amount of money to look at it in the thousands.  I was told a  few years ago that a a friend of the neighbour had the same problem and he simply pulled the abs fuse and it solved the problem.  I have looked in the manual but am not clear which one it is.  the neighbour has since moved  Can someone please help  Dan D maybe your reading this.  Thank you for your help

    If i recall the ABS fuse is in the Underhood fuse panel. Your problem is more than likely a front wheel bearing gone south. I had a seirra and as much as it was a comfortable truck bearings were common enough issue .

     Pulling the fuse will also cause other systems to work incorrectly like the auto 4wd and traction control (if equipped) even mess with integrated trailer controller (if equipped) best to get it checked and remedied

  5. Was out Monday Crappie fishing and had a honey hole all to myself and a friend and of course some happy camper came walking to his dock screaming and shouting obscenity at us about being in his area blah blah blah said he wanted to fish called me more names of course it was tough not to beat his azzz but then he cast over our lines ripped it and broke it walked to parking lot and started pitching rocks at my boat so I called opp after a bunch of Bull frpmmgiy saying we were blocking his dock and stole his bobber  cops were giving me a hard time with every excuse social distance inessential travel ,, that I could go somewhere else ect I showed him the go pro and attitudes changed in hurry . So after review of video evidence person is being charged today by opp today

  6. Had a set of diehards last 7 years in mixed tournament pleasure fishing in my ranger. Maintaining battery's is key check water levels and charge regularly and make sure there true deep cycle batterys they can take more abuse than dual purpose and if you notice your starting to add water more often time to replace .

    Even the Walmart battery's been decent friend swear by them getting 350 charge cycle out of them before replacement

  7. Gone through many different brands over the years and found Deka to be most reliable lead acid battery they manufacture AGM as well. Some names like powersurge carquest diehard Mopar all Deka .

    I was thinking of switching to either AGM or lithium but require different chargers for both. AGM requires lower charge voltages shouldn't exceed 14.4vts or you may get reduced life span
