AKRISONER

Even that can be cleaned up, just cause the lengths aren’t long! No job would be to small, even kayaks etc there’s a proper way to do things and make sure corrosion is kept at bay and clean imaging is ensured!

this is how you make a first post! Welcome hope you contribute often!

If I’m not fishing Im going to try and make it to this even just to meet some people

Hey guys, just throwing this out there as spring arrives, I got into car stereo wiring in highschool and as my fishing passion took off I’ve now completely overhauled 3 boat’s marine electronics wiring systems including trolling motors, Humminbird and Garmin systems, networking and forward facing sonar amongst other projects helping friends with wiring their boats etc and have spent countless hours studying the perfect way to wire electronics for maximum output and clarity. im a boat electronics junky and I’m beginning to realize that this skill set is somewhat specialized, especially these days in as the car stereo industry has all but vanished. I’ve had some members inquire about wiring their own electronics and I’ve noticed that any companies working in this space making marine wiring harnesses such as sea clear power to me are 1. Extremely overpriced and 2 American based making it not the most accessible for Canadians. In simple terms, im offering a 100% plug and play wiring system customized for your boat that will allow your electronics to work perfectly once the harness is strung through your boat to wherever you plan on having your screens. So I’m throwing this out there to anyone listening, I could use a little extra cash at the moment to pay an expensive vet bill! I’ve been toying with the idea of making these wiring systems, even considering doing a little wiring as a side gig if there was any interest. So if anyone out there is interested or has considered upgrading their electronics but are intimidated by the idea of rewiring their boat please comment here or reach out, I’d love to have a chat about your application. Shoot me a message or comment here! *Edit - I never thought of this until now either, I’ve done a bit of car detailing on the side and can definitely offer that for boats as well! I can even high speed polish and re-surface fibreglass boats. from exterior cleaning, to interior, carpet cleaning and fibre glass treatments, shoot me a message, I’d love to talk about what you’d like your boat to look like! if you saw my 98 skeeter, you’d know what I’m talking about! im located in Georgetown and carling and can travel if needed.

Really unfortunate about the crowds. I know another group that arrived and bailed and went and ate panzerottis in a parking lot while watching bass live.

My assumption is that they do have a failure rate while your standard foam life preserver does not. I’ve heard a few stories of them not deploying, however let me make it very very clear after going through this entire dilemma myself. I stopped wearing the auto while my boat was under power, and quickly realized how stupid I was being because it meant I was wearing nothing while I was fishing a lot. Just dumb logic being scared of my auto not inflating while under power but wearing nothing while fishing instead of just wearing the auto 100% of the time. i find my auto bugs me a bit when it’s hot so I don’t typically wear it when the water is warm I go back to wearing a vest while driving but in the fall and spring when the water is cold Or I’m fishing big water I wear the auto 100% of the time and basically don’t notice it

Dang! To be retired!

funny bunk, ling are sought after here, but in manitoba they were consider to be a nuisance so much so that they held a burbot derby every year on athapap to clean out the burbot. Many people attribute to the improved fishing to this derby but I also think it has a lot to do with manitoba moving from a 6 walleye per person limit down to 4? and barbless.

Saw this on FB bunk absolutely wild! reminded me of my childhood growing up on athapap and the annual burbot derby. The world record was actually caught there and it held up for a good number of years

I went with them, and liked them so much that I’m going to be going with them again this year in my new to me rig. the AGM extreme was absolutely nuts for cranking power, it literally made that old yamaha sound like a machine gun was firing it turned over so fast and powerful, it was like a totally different boat. id also love to go lithium but it also means changing your charging set up. That’s my only reason for not making the change over. i ran the standard nautilus group 31’s for my trolling motor and didn’t ever even come close to draining them. I did a 13 hour day last year pre fishing a tournament in heavy wind and they still had half their juice left at the end of the day. I’ve always been more concerned with my electronics. That day I ran two Garmin 95s, a helix 7 and livescope for 13 hours straight and didn’t kill a nautilus group 27 extreme never mind the 31!

Still gotta get out on the hard water some time dave

ive been trying to get ol mis fish to give me his batter recipe for years...still hasnt coughed it up

Doug and cliff both extremely generous offers. Very much appreciated. Doug let me sort out some details, I can easily plan a day of fishing on the Larry this spring to make miles and gas worthwhile. i will be in touch

Hey guys, Asking a favour to OFC today hopefully i can spend some of the karma ive gained over the years helping fellow members out. A shot in the dark but does anyone here travelling/will be travelling through kingston? Im willing to pay someone if theyd be able to pick up a battery from a guy there and bring it to the GTA for me. If anyone is interested, please reply here or shoot me a DM. Thanks!

What?! You win again? What the heck is going on

Well deserved. Congrats buddy

Wealthy Americans, remember they don’t pay much in taxes. If I had 25% more income and a 25 cent on the dollar exchange rate I’d be able to afford it too

yup if pleasant cove isnt a go rockpine would be my number 2 choice. They rent boats too.

I’ve never been the guy with “raw talent” nor am I the guy that just seems to be able to catch ‘em. The only way I can beat the competition is by ensuring that absolutely everything else that I can control is in order when competing. that means lots of studying, lots of pre-fishing, lots of reading, tons and tons of time dialing in the boat and finally not over complicating what I’m doing when I am on the water. it’s such a contrast to my main tournament partner, he’s the type of guy that shows up and barely knows what lake he is fishing. He could fish one rod and still smack em. Together we make a pretty damn good team if I’m being honest. Haven’t finished in the bottom half of a field yet. Made enough money last year to cover my entry’s for the year. maybe I just got lucky though (far more likely) 🤣🤣

my pre tournament fishing involves a heck of a lot of time staring at navionics web app on my work computer monitor. its so fast and nice to look at the maps on a big old screen.

It’s sad to see the damage that Russian and Chinese social media misinformation campaigns have ravaged on the populous, alas, here we are with our own people halting our economy, dying preventable deaths by refusing treatment due to a misinformation campaign, fighting one another, attempting to coupe our own elected leader, some people saying “you need to be on this side or that side” Civil war isn’t a good thing no matter what “side” you fall on. Those that really don’t have our interests in mind are smiling right now. I guess nearly three years of this is enough to drive some people to or over the edge, it’s not surprising but it’s sad to watch. The world will never be the same…I think I speak for all of us when I say that we really just all need the opportunity to go fishing and drink a few beers with our buddies and family without any consideration for anything except what we feel like catching and drinking that particular day, just like we did back in the day.

i just use navionics web app

Been absolutely blown away with how much the livescope has helped with the lakers this year. For us the big difference has been seeing the fish 30 feet out and being able to react and prepare to reel once the fish makes its move. What you get that you don’t with a flasher is that typically by the time they show up on the flasher they are already at your bait. We’ve been reacting as the fish swims up from the side and seemingly the fish are reacting perfectly to it. perhaps the proof is definitely in the pudding, my father really had difficulty reacting and playing trout last year on the flasher, he ended up skunked the entire winter. Switched the panoptix and he’s caught 4 trout in two trips.

Yup, fish of a lifetime right there, replica mount worthy for sure congrats! don’t let the fact that we live close to quinte/Erie throw you off, that’s a trophy all day every day anywhere north of barrie lol

Take it easy on these guys Irish, some of them brave the Ontario cold, only to go out and sit with 1000 other city folk in a crowd on simcoe, pay $50 parking to catch some small perch 🤣
