  1. I agree with you. I stopped buying hunting clothes there because Red Head stuff is crap (from their boots to clothing.........cheap crap). They carry other brands but 70% of their store is their own branded stuff. I find it worth the drive just to Fishing World or Grimsby Tackle (more out my way). Great guys with alot of fishing knowledge.
  2. I was at BPS in Niagara Falls and the guy told me that their Fishing Classic is happening in April sometime. Dealing with these guys are painful - the juice is not worth the squeeze. I would rather support my local tackle shop and guys that support the Sportsman Show and other local shows
  3. I just like the idea of being able to store waypoints via my trolling motor, backtrack feature and ability to keep the boat at a constant depth when using the trolling motor
  4. From what I understand this goes from March 7-14th. I know the flyer is out in the US but I see nothing for Canada. BPS is a pain because there is no BPS Canada web site it diverts to Cabelas.ca so checking stock is impossible
  5. I need to tap into the inner propeller heads in this great forum - specifically around my new Terrova trolling motor. I bought a new Terrova p/n Terrova80/DSC/WR-60" and now I would like to add a bow mounted fish finder. I read the manual and there are many different options to control this motor - wireless remote that it comes with or via iphone using One Boat Network app. Using the One Boat Network app one can also link the trolling motor to a Hummingbird fish finder and I am assuming Lowrance as well (with the adapter) and once this happens you can save waypoints to send to the motor and allow the motor to follow a specific depth. I am assuming the unit just needs GPS and a mapping card?? Does anyone have this motor and can tell me if my assumptions are correct? Does anyone have a bow mounted fishfinder recommendations? I find the MinnKota web sit useless because it keeps telling you what the Terrova can do but it but does not spell out what hardware/software that you need to make it happen. I am using a Lowrance HDS7 for my main unit. Thanks gentleman
  6. Try Tony's Reel Repair (just outside of Buffalo, NY)
  7. Sold I am selling my Minn Kota Power Drive V2 - 50lb thrust 12V 54" shaft c/w iPilot kit (not installed). Presently the motor is hooked up using the foot pedal and is working perfectly (just serviced this summer - new brushes). Please note that the iPilot kit is not working properly and I never tried to get it repaired as I needed a larger motor anyway. I just bought a new Terrova 80lb 24V 60" at the fishing show. With the iPilot kit installed the remote control works fine using manual controls (steering and speed) but when the GPS functions were engaged (spot lock or bearing) the motor would just spin so I figure it is something to do with the GPS unit in the head. I never bothered looking into having it repaired because I needed a larger motor for my boat anyway so I am selling it as a kit. The remote is like new and is worth $250 by itself.
  8. I am hoping that the golf driving ranges open soon - might as well get a head start on some spring golf.
  9. Give Jen at AirDale a call - https://www.air-dale.com/. She is absolutely amazing and will get you everything you need and takes care of you from the moment you arrive until the moment you are in your truck heading home. Check out many of Mike Borger's videos - https://www.canadafishingguide.net/ Mike does many of their lodge reviews
  10. Good ole Stella.......sadly I had to put her down in November at 9yrs
  11. Every year between ice rescues and people parking on the ice (and losing their vehicles in the water) - when will people figure it out???
  12. I bring a small finder and use a transducer mounted to a 1x2 secured to the boat by a C clamp. The motorcycle battery is the heaviest part of the set-up. We bring some beer but opt for bottles of Vodka, Rye, and Scotch.
  13. I spend summers close by (Maple Island) and we would go to Magnetewan for the beach and my and my cousins would head to the lock to jump off the back end of it when they drained the water out of it - strictly a no no now but back then it was common practice. I am assuming you are referring to the Schmeler Tavern that was on the corner - now it is a general store? I remember going into the white general store (that also burnt down) and get anything fishing related and sold the Downtown Magnetewan shirts and sweaters. Still rent a cottage there in July and it holds nice memories
  14. I completely hear ya. I work from home and I expect to round a corner and be tripping over her, or when I come home I expect to see her at the door greeting me, or even getting a snack in the fridge - I expect to hear her come running (she could hear a cheese wrapper a kilometer away). It gets easier every week but I do enjoy the time we spent and am not ready to even think about getting another dog yet. On my morning walks I do stop and say hi to many of the dogs in the neighborhood and share the love! Take care brother and one day at a time!
  15. I have a Minn Kota PowerDrive V2 (60" 55lbs 12V) on my Starcraft Renegade 168. Over the pandemic I acquired an iPilot kit for a reasonable price and installed it. It worked well although I always felt the 55lb was a little underpowered for the size of the boat. Fast forward two years and now my iPilot head is not working - and it is not worth repairing. So I am going to convert it back to a foot pedal control and install the original head back on the motor and sell it. I'll also sell the iPilot remote that came with the kit. So I figure I need a 80lb 24V motor and am looking at the Motor Guide Xi5 c/w GPS and Sonar or the Minn Kota Terrova with iPilot (just not so sure about this technology since my last one only lasted 2yrs). Any suggestions? Any idea where the best places to buy these - fishing show??
