might need to burp the system a bit. Plenty of videos online on how to do this, but essentially all you do is lift the motor, open the valve and then close it to build pressure up. Hopefully one of your ram's isnt leaking, the gaskets in those can fail and make a bad seal.

hard winter this year especially in the less open areas, we had a ton of ice and a ton of snow and then a cold wet spring. Water temperatures are weeks behind normal, hence the weedgrowth is too. We had snow still in the bush on easter this year, thats a major contrast to previous years. Heck, the water was legimately 35 degrees on May 5th this year up in Parry sound...no weeds growing in that!

that may 24 weekend had things heating up and then then temperature absolutely plummeted again, almost like a spring reset. I saw some temps get into the 50's then we had 3 consecutive days where it was windy, raining and a high of 8 degrees, I was out fishing lakers and the water was 46! this was 2 weeks ago! I caught a smallmouth out of 45 fow hanging with the laketrout. (yes im aware of how screwed up I am using F and C in the same sentence, but thats how i operate lol, i couldnt tell you what temperature C correlates to anything fishing wise, aside from the fact that when the water is 4C in the fall, shes about to lock up and when its 0 you might be able to walk on it lol!) I personally did not see one sign of new weed growth anywhere this weekend. even in 1fow the pencil reeds were rotten with no signs of anything.

Just did this on my old man’s 150 Yamaha, took two hours to finally get the damn lower back in. I first realized that the shifter had somehow turned…I still don’t know how? Anyways was able to turn the shifter back to neutral and then grease the heck out of all of the connection points and it finally went back In but it took my dad with a flashlight trying to align the connection points while I pushed to get the damn thing back in.

Wait…no more loony toons ???

actually toning it back this year, but hoping to do more stuff now that I have a motor (blew mine end of june and didnt have a motor till september) Ill be hopping all over the province fishing NGTA derbies, i encourage anyone thats thinking of dabbling in tournament bass fishing, but wants to learn/do it at a low price to try it out, boater or not reach out. We have a blast, good group of guys and no drama.

you got very unlucky, the lake was on fire on May 31st and then that heat up last week brought the water temperatures up 8 degrees over the course of 4 days and it shut everything right down. You could see the change in the lake, I went from catching laketrout up relatively shallow and OOS smallmouth that were still staging in 45 fow to them being right up in the pencil reeds roaming waiting for the girlies to arrive. The pike had lock jaw, theyd follow and not commit and were seemingly out of sorts. Even fished some deeper older cabbage beds where the weed was still standing and not a sniff. Not a skiff of new vegetation growth anywhere yet. We have finally arrived at the spring/summer transition, water temperatures are finally catching up and it has the fish on the move. I think this years bass opener is going to be one for the books if we can keep it from getting too too hot before the 21st and this weekend's upcoming "cool" forecast seems to have things dialed in on keeping that water cold. Considering the fish hadnt even started spawning yet this weekend theres going to a be a heck of a lot of fish up shallow in less than 2 weeks. What a friggin incredible contrast to last year where I was fishing May 4th and there were smallmouth guarding beds everywhere. I didn spot a single bed this weekend, just kept running into the damn things when they went ballistic on a big 8 inch magdraft. hooked and quickly released 1 big ol girl that as soon as i quickly released her had two males nipping at her butt and she cruised away. Clearly not on her way to the bed, just out roaming around looking for boyfriends.

just run 14lb fluro as a lead, it takes a real big pike typically to blow that up. Fish arent that shy typically. Make sure you re-tie if the pike bangs up your line bad.

Thank god they've found a loophole in the bureaucracy and corn lobby job set out to kill those of us with boats and snowmobiles. The inherent nature of us with boats purchasing premium fuel shows a demand for specialized fuels in a limited capacity, the fact that the government is trying to outlaw this...dont even get me started. Ill keep my thoughts to myself to avoid getting this thread closed.

seems like the natives have figured this out again. Theyve been advertising ethanol free premium at wolf energy now for a couple of seasons. Ive been using it in my boats the last couple of years. Glad its back! Although not as big of a deal now that I am no longer running a 2 stroke.

howd it go

i dont think you will have issues with that 7 moving on a larger ball mount. For a 9+ inch screen it becomes an issue for sure. I ran a 7 on a ram mount for a few years and it wasnt too bad those screens arent very heavy. I was running a 10 on the biggest ram mount i possibly could and unfortunately it didnt work.

incredible deal for someone taking the jump into taking their fishing more seriously.

14, in PAB the only areas considered 15 are above rapids or no fishing zones that includes the shawanaga river.

guys, if you're targeting musky, please equip yourself with a proper landing net, jaw spreaders and a good set of pliers...a good set of knipex bolt cutters also helps. unhook your fish in the water in the landing net. If youre taking a photo, get your camera ready, have the fish already unhooked, grab the fish take your photo and put it back. Most obvious of all, dont fish out of season like these bozos.
