  1. thats ignorant for sure, seems like theat spring crappie attitude is spreading,
  2. that belt looks a little low and worn if i remember correctly that belts min width is 26mm new is 31 if iam right that belt is right at the min. also adjust your chaincase-- easy peasy loosen lock nut tighten adjustor by hand till snug hold and tighten lock bolt. for clutch servicing use a "brown" xtrafine 3 m scotchbrite pad and acetone to clean all th faces. to check track tenssion use a spring scale with 10 kg of force (22lb) measure sag in middle of skid should be 25-30mm or 1to 1.2 inches but i change that one driveshaft bearing every 2 seasons as preventative mainteneance n all my yamahas and jackshaft bearing and chaincase every 12000km or so
  3. Where does the belt sit in the secondary post a pic if you can. Measure belt width for wear andncheck secondary. But usually the problem your describingnis.in the driveshaft. The "speedo" bearing seizes up causing clunking severe slow down off the throttle. Easy enougj to replace and around $50. Take belt off elevate sled and spin track by handnmake sure its free then work backwords from there
  4. go to scott martins facebook page, he answers questions all the time as well as guiding at the lodge, that man is a true am-bass-eder of the sport. also look up tenacity guuide service if you want one of the premier guiding services in saltwater
  5. randy jennings does the course as well, works for the ofah lives just outside lindsay
  6. just taking some air out makes a big difference, but in testing snow tires, a/t ect in vehicles over the years found reversing tires had little to no effect on tire performance, mostly just a marketing stradegy i think
  7. nice congrats on your purchase, lookin at sxs myself right now, but to much of a sled head
  8. drawing the lakes down, right now fish are on the move and can be anywhere, like fishing around north end myself over to balds lots of rock in fall can attract bait, was marking lots on weekend shawdowing bait balls in 18-20 ft areas water temps were low to mid 50's
  9. Lakers through the ice is all ive done there
  10. a freind of mine has a little tackle company on the net and facebook called widowmaker lures and he sells a lot of his own lures, i ve benefitted from lots of freebies over the years and can say that his ice fishing spoons are the best i ve ever used for winter perchin, and his frogs work as well as the live targerts
  11. ha in just behind
  12. didnt expect the cold front and wind we had this morning but tried anyway, water temps were 53-55 and the fishing was way off for me today, was marking all kinds of fish today and baitballs in the 20 ft depth close to drop offs almost text book walleye spots on old creek channels the hds was lighting up pretty awesome with those yellow bellys and the imaging was poicking it up as well after several hours of trying gave up they were just not intrested, went shallow to first 9-14 ft depths found lots of healthy weed no takers, one ski bite off, think tomorrow gonna be a slip float and minnow day
  13. yup catch more species on jigs than all other methods combined
  14. i believe to have real leaders we need to substaintally raise the pays of the pm's office, hard to get the best and brightest at 250k a year when in private sector there making millions
  15. You dont need a permit to use your sled for heritage activities if taking the most direct way to your location. If your gonna do a 30 km tour then go fishen you 'll need a permit
  16. more like the tax class, i make about 102k a year wife part time like 18k a year and with a 1100 month mortgage 600 in vehicle payments plus all tyhe usual utlitys food ect there still not much left at end of month and i dont go out for dinner and brown nag lunch to work everyday just cant imagine how someone living in the city can afford anything making that canadian average of 38k a year
  17. get em online while you can price goes up to 200 nov1 and 260 dec 1, for all the sled heads out there
  18. i look at the promises and dollar value that the ndp and liberals make and know that the money will be coming out of my pocket, one guy is a lawyer and has refinanced his house something like 22 times yup he knows something about fiscal responsibility the other lives off daddys trust fund hmmm theres some reality there too. I like harper no bones about it he leads and takes no bull doing it,understands money and how to make a country work, is he perfect hell no, always able to critique a leader, but ask yourself can you do a better job?
  19. yeah may have to dartmouth shortly to drive a buds car back you know my coleman 177 can cooler coming on that journey esp since he owns oceanfront property. on a more serious note, when it comes to fresh seafood loblaws gets 3 deliverys a week from the east coast i had the service contract for the delivery vans for a company called starlight seafood that were the middle men and they supplied several well known seafood stores as well, when craving mussels i never had a issue getting product from loblaws, thanks now craving some garlic steamed
  20. Need to find some friends that head doen east regularly. Just got a cooler full of fresh quahogs and scallops
  21. depends on the boat really, i use to minn kota drift socks to slow my speed in a bass boat, but trolling can always go ols school and drag a 5 gallon pail behind boat
  22. yes so just picked up a spool and tied leaders on three rods this morning, spent day dragging tubes and wacky rigging smallies and the suffix is very nice easy to work with great shock resistance, i use a blood knot to tie all my leaders very strong compact knot that i used for years tying my own fly leaders and it works great in this application as well. was looking for a good flouro main line for two flippin sticks for those line shy days, dont like a knot when i am putting a hurtin on bass in heavy cover
  23. i call it flashbacks and usually occours several days after an out of control saturday night
