im super super curious to see what lakemaster Ontario looks like... Dont forget the added bonus that G2 and G2N units of the helix 5 and 7 are able to function under the newest update which provides owners with a totally redesigned "ice mode" which turns your helix 5 or 7 into a digital flasher! The Helix ice cases are hard to come by but i found a lowrance one for $90 including the battery and with a really simply modification, my helix 7 now doubles up as my ice unit in the winter time! Also the G2 models have much improved menus over the G1 units including the most handy "view selection" menu rather than scrolling view by view.

Pigeon, Theona tournament

outfit the boat with some electronics and go for a spin, ive spent many skunked days on the water...put the rods in and see what happens. im sure you will eventually start at least marking some fish if you keep changing the depth you are driving around in.

as much as its awesome to try and re-create "A river runs through it" The best thing I ever did for my casting and abilities was to go to a dock and catch pike on the fly. 1. Theres no trees to get your casts stuck in everywhere 2. You can make horrible casts without getting snagged on everything around you. 3. You can really practice your double haul and lengthening how far you can cast 4. pike especially snot rockets are easy as hell to catch, they will teach you how to actually land those trout when you finally get on them. 5. Line management is easy standing on a piece of wood vs in a river where the current pulls your line or the grass grabs it. Give it a go...it makes dock fishing way more interesting and your casting will improve so fast youll surprise even yourself. If you really want to try your hand at river run trout..the Grand is the closest thing to you, but dont overlook the credit river or the eramosa, both hold lots of fish, its just much harder to figure out where to start.

Town of Temagami under evacuation alert.

those water bombers fly exactly like youd expect them to fly, like they are in a dog fight to save lives... i believe this is Henvey Inlet near the key river https://www.facebook.com/635205468/posts/10156244423100469/ -
unfortunately the rain missed a lot of the parry sound and french river region. The britt area got poured on, but unfortunately the french and pointe au baril areas missed out entirely. The extended forecast doesnt look so great either.

from what i can see, the firefighters have done a friggin incredible job containing the blaze to the forest and away from most of the cottages thus far...there is obviously is devestation, but i believe they were able to save the key marina area...which i friggin incredible because the fire basically surrounded the entirety of the community there. some of the footage of the water bombers sweeping in on the henvey inlet is crazy, the pilots of those planes are friggin next level.

unfortunately I was around the point from where the fireworks were being launched so i was unable to pinpoint the exact location they were coming from. I could hear the individuals chatting and yelling and then fireworks launching in the sky. I came around the point and everything had gone quiet and dark. Either someone spoke to them already or they knew what they were doing was wrong and hid it. I wish i could have went after them myself... I was bloody raging...you could see the smoke in the sky from the fires just to our north and these idiots think its awesome to light fireworks...ugh I have been personally assured by the township that any reporting of the fireban violation will be responded to. That after hours number is for the local by law enforcements personal phone line.

find any weed edge in 15fow and throw a drop shot...I caught 5 in a day on saturday by accident while fishing in a bass tournament.

was in Pointe Au Baril this past weekend and the situation is downright scary up there...I feel so much for the people affected in the key/french river areas. The smoke on the horizon and smell was enough to instill fear in everyone in pointe au baril's hearts. It is everyone's responsibilities to be extremely diligent, to protect one another's property and well being. If you are in the vast vast area that is now considered to be under a total fire ban, please THINK! This means aside from the obvious no fires... It also means, no fireworks, and no throwing ciggarette butts on the ground! My parents this past weekend witnessed an individual in parry sound riding a motorcycle toss his butt in the ditch, i also personally witnessed individuals lighting fireworks, while the fires visibly raged 20 miles to our north. If you are in the township of the archipelago and witness someone violating a fire ban, you may contact by law enforcement at the followign numbers By Law enforcement 705-746-4243 ext 325 or after hours 705-774-3630

i realize what i can be said can be misinterpreted. I was referring to the area of lower buckhorn which feeds into lovesick, which then feeds into stoney. My bad.
-
i know this is as confusing as hell, because Upper buckhorn, is actually the southern buckhorn, while lower buckhorn is the northern buckhorn...sounds to me like you are fishing east of lower buckhorn feeding into stoney lake. aka lovesick lake. From my understanding the reason that the northern buckhorn is called "lower" is because it is downstream in the kawarthas, with the water flowing from west to east towards lake ontario. Ive done a lot of fishing on upper buckhorn this year and pigeon. The bass are biting and there are loads of walleye. Things are a bit tougher now though with the insanely warm weather that we have had. I would suggest chasing largies over smallies. Been some bigger fish caught this year...especially after the past 3 years where we really struggled to get any size, things have rebounded a bit.

sure, you could spend 10 years on a lake driving around and one day find that boulder pile in the middle of the lake....or you can use side image for 1 minute see something 200 yards to your right in 30 Fow, scroll your cursor over the mark, hit "mark" and then proceed to fish right on top of it...but ya...side imaging is useless... lol

Being a resident of toronto, and experiencing this gun violence in my home makes it hard for me to keep silent...its not a good feeling when your front door has been sprayed with bullets and when your girlfriend doesnt feel safe taking your dog pee at night...

i think you did it colin, you found the one pair of footwear in the world that is as hideous as my crocs

oh man ohio...i dont know how you guys do it down there...a land where anyone of legal age can purchase a hand gun with no questions asked...a state of terror at all times. Honestly as messed up as the racial profiling can get with street checks...i dont believe that without proper training and understanding that this could be managed. It would take a lot of understanding and an agreement that we need these types of measures in place again in order to save our city. The main component would be to ensure that individuals that were being checked that are innocent are not made out to feel like they are criminals before they have even been searched. One thing though I am extremely glad that we can in large part agree upon is that open carry is a bad idea, and by agreeing on such, we can easily know that if you are carrying a handgun (unless transporting in a case obviously like a responsible gun owner) you are a criminal 100% of the time.

you gotta make it not worth getting caught with one. Clearly its far too easy and worthwhile for people to be bringing them over. A guy dropped a hand gun on the street after coming out from a nightclub on new years this year. the police apprehended him, it would be interesting to know what came of him and how harshly he was penalized...clearly he didnt fear the repercussions...and thats a problem.

i swear it surpasses stupid, and lies on a complete hopelessness for the human race its so extremely dimwitted

own an eco diesel and regret buying it nearly every day... been in the shop 6 times during warranty, now im out of warranty and just waiting for the next blow up...also i cant have the heat on in my truck during the winter because the cab fills with exhaust fumes...took it in during warranty 3 times, every time Dodge said it was nothing... never fixed the problem, its my problem now... saving my money to do a full EGR bypass with DEF Delete...i think its the only thing that will save my truck from inevitable early death...who knows maybe it will light on fire like this one. Stay the hell away
-
man...so incredibly sad we gotta do something about these handguns...its getting insane. I am not trying to be political here, but perhaps stronger minimum sentences could make it not worth while to even consider importing/dealing/carry handguns in our streets. Right now its a 1 year penalty... Criminals will be criminals, but man we gotta do everything we can to protect innocent people. the violence is escalating way too fast for us to not take some really drastic measures...i live at dufferin and lawrence, so far this year theres been a shooting in my building, a shooting across the street and a shooting 300 meters down the road...weve got guys shooting into playgrounds, now we have maniancs shooting at everyone..enough is enough RIP to the victims and prayers for the survivors...damn

friggin getting scary as hell up near the key river this weekend. I was not enjoying the smoke and haze in Pointe Au Baril all weekend, and then to top it off, people are lighting fireworks. I friggin wish i could have seen where they were coming from, I woulda had the OPP and bylaw enforcement all over them. Can you believe that though, you can literally see the smoke from the fire and then you think its smart to light fireworks.... man?

ding ding ding if im fishing slop with whacky rigs, i still double uni to a piece of 20lb flurocarbon

glad you actually got some action. I swear when im fly fishing a river, it just seems so much different when you actually get a bite vs fishing in a lake. Its almost like i feel like I have to perfect everything to even have a chance at hooking up, but when you do the sense of accomplishment is on another level. It sometimes feels crazy that fish could be living in such crazy fast running water. you should give the salmon in the credit a shot in september...you can easily get away from the crowds...you just gotta use your head.

nailed it...he needs to have both an minnkota with ipilot link, and an networking capable unit for this to work. The Helix G2 and G1 series are not network capable units and therefore do not allow for this feature.
