buy a gas one & keep up with the simple maintenance

you can often find berts or traxtech tracks and accessories in the classifieds... good way to save $ + Taxes and its all interchangeable put a mount bracket on your bow for the sonar... when your trolling, can have 2 units at the tiller 1 for Gps 1 for sonar.... that will give you flexibility and a backup if needed 8 or 9.9 hp will be fine for a kicker... i have a 30 hp tiller and wish somedays for a kicker just to relieve my main from the additional hours...

Merry Christmas Lew & family and to TJ, the mod crew + all my OFC buds

i'd like to think that getting 5-6 years out of a set of batteries is a quite reasonable expectation and "benchmark", especially if they cared for & are used 8-10+ months each year almost weekly

another vote for cinnamon rum-nog!

x2!

get the tinny... pick your days and fill it to the gunnels with fsh & memories

all my Spin Doctor and Pro Troll flashers have definetly been worth the purchase! ;-) Traded in my old vexilar Fl8 last year for an Eagle 502c combo unit ... more versatile and it will get used 12 months a year Flashers are great if you ice fish often enough to justify the purchase.

a Neil concert is high on my bucket list,,, kicking myself for not making it happen this time around with Crazy Horse

me & a buddies wives are thinking of starting up the "Saturday Morning Fishing Widows Association"

Yup that helps,and yes as mentioned above, tell the wife to stuff the stocking with many gift cards from your fave tackle dealer If you dont end up getting a second rigger, and still want to run 4 rods when the 2 of you are out, I would reccomend 1) donwrigger rod/reel that will hold at least 300yds of 20lb mono 2) 2 diver combos 8-9ft med-med hvy, with either 30lb 7 strand wire or 50lb braid, on mid sized linecounter reels (brand as budget allows)and run Size# 107 Walker Deeper Divers off of these 3) one large sized trolling reel with 100 yds or 10 colours of Leadcore line and a 8/9 foot trolling rod. I see your from Pickering, go to Tightines Warehouse and they'll fill in the rest.

I am a member of both the Strait Line Anglers Club and St Catharines Game & Fish Club. If you click here and look under "other clubs" you will see more great groups in Southern Ontario

in order to help you out, lets begin with: a)does your boat have downriggers and appropriate rod holders already? will you be doing this trolling solo or with others?

tsn.ca isnt live streaming?

so i noticed that Grimsby Tackle is having 21% 0ff all rods, reels & tackle this weekend. I am thinking about a new rod that can double duty for occassional drop shotting and for 3way rigging/drifting. probably a 7 footer? Thoughts or ideas? Budget is $100.

Grimsby Tackle has one on the floor already

NO

excellent work indeed by all involved! Darryl Choronzey is actually going to speaking about all this indepth at the next Strait Line Anglers Club meeting on Tues Nov 6, really looking forward to that! http://straitlineanglers.com/

Colin & Skeiner are 2 different folks but both excellent fellas to hang on the water with

"Colin" was my first OFC'r & internet fishing pal I met back in 2004. Ive met and fished with many since and to this day some of my closest fishing pals are/were at one time or another active OFC'rs. Thanks again TJQ heres a few quick ol photos i found bonus points for the 'oltimers who can name 'em
