i run 3 graphs, +livewells fishing tournaments on my group 24 and have never had an issue. Something seems up!

did some reading today and this stat blew me out of the water... According to the Ontario Epidemilogical Summary 9.4% of people aged 60-79 Die after contracting covid. That number is wayyyyy higher than i ever expected. The death rate obviously falls off a cliff when looking at younger age groups, but both of my parents fall into this demographic. Meaning if they hypothetically contract covid they would face a 20% chance of one of them dying.

thread hijack but good to see you again chris

pump a 30 should have no problem pushing you around. Heck when i put my 55lber on my 14 foot tinner with a casting deck the thing nearly threw me in the lake all of the time. You arent going to break the sound barrier, but it will get you where you need to go no problem at all.

yup, were healthy so far, definitely one of the crappier years but trying to look on the upside. Sorry to hear about your knees johnny, hopefully they get you sorted out.

we have a loony tooner 2

need to get out in the river this week and toss some flies around aimlessly

Hey Guys, Spent a few days on the water this past weekend and ive realized just through looking at photos from past years and a facebook memories reminder and what went on this past weekend that the smallmouth bass fishing is perhaps the best you will have all year right now. Reports i see from Simcoe say the same thing, the fish are up reasonably shallow, stacked up and feeding like absolute crazy. I had one of the best days on the water in my life on Thursday. The sunny calmer weather vs that weird crazy windy weather weve been having seems to be like a light switch. Get out there and have some fun if you can!

Theres gotta be a lot of factors involved with this, but ive got a 130 horse that does 55mph...that would be a weird outlier though but ya on a 90horse or smaller i dont see how much flex a prop would be getting to change the speed that much. Weight is really the important factor...power to weight ratios are everything, especially the smaller the power you have. Big one being mentioned here is batteries. No need for 3 group 31's in a 16 foot boat. I fish tournaments with 2 group 27's and a group 24. Run three graphs, livewells and a trolling motor hard this past weekend for 10 straight hours. Not a single issue.

that release was cringeworthy, why the heck didnt the guy tail it longer? He then comments "im surprised it survived" anyways not to thread hijack...sorry ahaha I would take note of what you see in that video, those guys are targeting an area near a major overpass, time to hop on google maps and use streetview to figure out the area they are fishing.

The new terrovas have a spring loading lift assist so they aren’t hard at all to lift anymore. You could lift one out with one hand

did you catch it ice fishing? Whats the story about the pinned snowmobile.

jesus dave, guys talk a lot about smallmouth being Footballs...that thing looks like it ate a bloody beach ball. It had to have been 8?

this is why i havent fished pigeon in a few years, Im 5 for 5 on musky days there, even trolling with multiple people in the boat, ive never been skunked. Cant say the same for the people ive been with, and they are far better musky fishermen than me. My luck has to run dry at some point right? Thats part of the reason ive probably been skunked every single time I try for musky on G bay. Ive caught 1 mid 30's fish in about 5 days of fishing now lol. Need to give it a run hard this fall though, its time for a real one.

1. Definitely doing the coils this winter 2. Do you mean rebuild/clean the carb or something else? I plan on redoing all of the gaskets and cleaning it this winter (I just bought a home with a garage!) 3. Its a glass boat, A possibility that the foam is getting saturated, however the boat doesnt get stored in the water. It spends most of its time on dry land but i guess its possible? But doesnt explain why the change was so drastic from one season to the next. My assumption is that after a winter sitting in the cold and dry it would be as light as it could ever be, yet the problem started right at the beginning of the season this year. In fact the boat didnt see water until the covid restrictions lifted...after sitting for 8 months. 4. Ive never ran anything but premium through the motor with periodic runs of seafoam. If it was a fuel issue I would have experienced this for the first two years driving the boat. 5. A plug I guess is theoretically possible, but I can see down into the hull of my boat from the battery compartment and theres no evidence of that much water sloshing around in there. Also the boat has a very very slow leak somewhere, maybe a litre of water builds up over the course of 4 days, but its far from anything catastrophic because at the end of the day its a glass boat, the hulls for the most part dont leak aside from places where things have been punched through the glass.

what P's me off about all of this is that if our tax dollars were spent on enforcement instead of making up all encompassing closure rules then we wouldnt have these rules blocking us from fishing everywhere. As it currently stands the reason these are all getting shut down is because we dont have enough enforcement to stop the A holes from doing what they do on the same stretches of river, every year, at the exact same time. We all know the total gongshow that happens every year during the same two week period, in the exact same spot, by the exact same people the problem is that theres not enough bylaw officers and CO's to stop it. The politicians are taking the simple route by putting in nonsensical all encompassing closure rules. Youd think it would be the easiest low hanging fruit to snatch of all time, heck in what other scenario do the criminals voluntarily agree to come to you at a specific time at a specific place to commit their crime in plain site right in front of you? The scumbag snaggers, litter bugs, and poachers are standing there in plain sight in 1 of the 4???? places to fish in the GTA on a stretch of river 500 meters long, yet somehow we cant figure out a way to make this work without a total gongshow. Madness has prevailed. Call me crazy but what would it take to park 10 guys at those rivers full time for a period of 3 weeks? Youd think theyd hand out enough tickets to pay the bill? No?

lol it may actually help, lifting twelve bundles onto that roof will make anyone lose weight hahaha Thats what I should probably do as well 😆 Reminds me of my thread where Im losing top end and was worried about compression and my buddy said, how much covid weight did you gain ahahaha

And the local corner store is going to have an over stock of Canadian classic darts

lol if only my boats problems could be fixed by me dieting and exercising....*sigh* that little leak doesnt even count. My tinner even brand new also always managed to get a little bit of water in it after a week on the water and I know for certain it wasnt leaking, I think the majority of it simply came from when you land fish, wet nets, morning dew etc etc.

those are some giants out of pigeon. my limited musky experience is primarily out of that lake and I know how special those fish are. Very well done.

a man loves trolling those minnow body rapalas! well done.

I call it the “shore fisherman special” a styrofoam worm container, a mess of birdnested monofilament, an empty pack of Canadian classics and a 6 pack of garbage beer like Busch or natty lite all thrown on the ground the stereotypes are real for these scumbags, it’s always the same junk

those hook units are good to go. The HDS is a whole different ball game. Hence my question. Garmins can be a little funky as well and take getting used to. The helix humminbirds read fantastic imaging with bone stock settings. Basically hold the view button and decide what you want to see. Plus you get an ice fishing flasher when you buy one.

just curious John. have you already purchased the units or are you still in the market. Is there a particular reason you are gung ho on Lowrance vs Humminbird or Garmin? I personally would recommend running something other than lowrance if you dont consider yourself "technically savy" The Helix series by humminbird is about as plug and play as you can get. Including their bone stock settings.

Yup the place is completely developed out the ying yang now. I don’t believe there is a public launch/parking anymore. hence the ask. Some marinas are also stupid with their launching prices. I expect to pay $20 even $30 but I’ve seen ridiculous crap like $50+ which I’m just not willing to pay to launch and park for a day
