KLINKER

I think the plate should be about 3/8 inch below the bottom of the boat.

That is funny, there's no maple syrup in Aunt Jemima syrup, its an American made substitute. So the Canadian secret is to pour US. made goo on your lure.

They don't produce enough heat to keep snow off them.

If he was holding up the line for a bunch of Tim's junkies trying to get a fix he was lucky he didn't get shot in the head.

We don't do as many boating courses any more but the Power squadron does a lot of radio courses so there must be a lot of people listening out there somewhere.

If you are not required to have flares on the boat just buy the gun and ask around for some slightly outdated flares, you can probably get a hundred of them. Don't go too old, some guys say they last forever but I've seen some poorly stored flares go about 5 feet.

Can you fire a shotgun shell in one of those and keep your hand?

When you try them out, try different guitars of the same make and model, you can sometimes find a difference in them. EKO Ranger Yamaki deluxe 2 songbirds not the Gibson but a mid level Korean, one I really like the other not so much Royal dobro gitane anybody play gypsy jazz, neither do I but the thing is just gorgeous 70's sigma 12 string that I use a lot Sigma D42 that's sort of nice Sigma's were sanctioned copies of Martin vester 12 string, like the sigma more Martin D1 Blueridge, $30 brand new had a crack in the sound board. Patched it and got a nice blueridge for under $100 I think there's one more My BIL had a Yamaki custom set up and it turned out real nice he figures it compares to his D28

I'm with you Chris, you know where the fish are what's the point of drifting past when you can sit on top of them.

To get a marina to do the work your talking a fair chunk of $, a better option might be to buy a newer motor with trim and sell this one.

Is it not better to spend a billion at home than a billion half way around the world blowing stuff up or paying the bad guys not to shoot at us.. Do we make our own bombs in Ca. or do we buy them?

I hear you John, but I can tell you the OPP don't consider us a fishing vessel. And if you are out on BOQ. or the big lakes in a pack of 200 boats do you really want them all to be claiming a right of way over each other. A vessel restricted by maneuverability must be unable to keep out of the way of another vessel.

I had a guy do this. Thunderstorm had shut them down and nobody had seen a fish all day when I lost a nice smallie at the boat. Tournament guys are usually all "don't come near me" but this guy rushed over and jigged right the side of my boat. One of the guys on my boat was a little upset but I thought it was a hilarious act of desperation. Rule 3 general definitions (d) The term "vessel engaged in fishing" means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls or fishing apparatus which restrict maneuverability, but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which does not restrict maneuverability.

Yeah #1 don't beach your boat on a windward shore. A little seamanship would have gone a long way. In the first picture there are 2 boats out there, he should have gotten away with the cost of a case of beer. He was his own worst enemy.

A power and sail squadron course could have saved this guy thousands and should be the first thing on his to do list.

Damn nice job of anchoring to hit the spot bang on. If this ever went before a judge

So your saying only 2 boats on the lake and you guys ran into each other, or you were under power and they were adrift and you just ran into them? This is getting comical.

So whats the top speed , somewhere around 400kh?

206, we are not considered to be restricted in our maneuverability to be a vessel engaged in fishing, this would be for large commercial boats. I don't dispute that these guys were in the wrong but as the stand on vessel if a boat is going to run into you you are responsible to avoid a collision , (rule 17 ). If you make a very obvious maneuver to put some distance between you they should clue in that they aren't welcome so close, and it doesn't ruin your day. The important thing is don't let some clown ruin your day. I don't think I would want to be in jail explaining how I killed somebody with an eight once sinker,

Manitoubass2, There is no right of way to shore fishers, it's against the law to disrupt the free flow of boat traffic. 206 regs say you must at all times avoid collision, even with idiots, actually I guess you could call it the idiot rule.

Canadian power and sail squadron courses are running all winter, sounds like everybody could use a refresher. Anybody want to take a guess as to who broke what regs.,

Tastes like chicken.

A good spot for a reminder that Canadian power and sail squadrons will be offering courses all winter.

Conservatives new pension rules would have meant over 100k loss if Mckay and some others had stayed on only to loose their seat, first smart thing Mckay ever did was to leave early.

going to an auction tomorrow, anybody have an idea what those black floating interlocking dock blocks are worth?
