  1. Another wild guess, but is the CDI grounded properly to the frame?
  2. You getting 12v at the starter when the start button is engaged? Could be the starter solenoid.
  3. Ignition switch? With the key turned on, you should have power to the CDI. If you don't, your switch it most likely toast.
  4. Any guess on what 95% of the lakers we got on Nipigon were caught on? That's to funny.
  5. I usually use the improved Trilene knot for mono and flouro, the palomar for braid... I find that if I don't make enough twists with braid while using a Trilene knot, it will slide through...
  6. I can always count on you Bob to stir up a truck thread!!!! hahaha Brian, 60k for that Ford is insane.. That's getting into the big 3 diesel price range...
  7. Should be catching some chinnies soon enough...
  8. Big ones always go back, that's a given.
  9. Not really, you don't want to cast to far upstream from your standing position.. Cast the float up a bit above you, but the majority of your drift will happen below your standing position. When you hold the float back by putting a bit of tension on the line as it leaves the reel, this is called 'trotting'. When you float 'c.o.c.k.s' this is when it goes to it's vertical position after being pulled down by the shot you've put on the line below it. You don't want to close the bail, how else are you going to let the float go downstream? You'll want to control the line leaving your reel with your finger to make sure there is a slight tension.. I'm a newb when it comes to float fishing, but I've been lucky to have some great teachers.. It's helped with the learning curve
  10. lol, nice man! You notice the coasters are alot more silver then your resident stream trout?
  11. We are roughing it on the lake itself
  12. Port Colborne is on Lake Erie
  13. Time to loosen that drag a bit.
  14. Nice! The oldman and I will be making the 15hr trek up to Nipigon tonight
  15. Ah, so by trying to make a point, you go out of your way to insult people that actually enjoy saying 'nice job!' and 'well done!' on other people's threads? I'm sorry if you fit the mold of the low post count/hungry for information type poster. If you really aren't here for that, try making some contributions to the site and become an active member.... I was out on the water close to 100 days last year, shouldn't I have a low post count to?
  16. Anyone else notice it's the guys with less then 50 posts which are whining about the lake info not being given out?
  17. Yup, I love my '03 Chevy ZR2 but there is a reason why the Tacoma's hold their value.... Great trucks..
  18. Been stuck at Pearson for a while.. The thunder and lightning storm is pretty awesome.
  19. That was a pretty common sight all week Dan
  20. Jacque, I forgot to comment on the workmanship.. It looks top notch man!!! I mentioned the weight balance because anytime we have to put a flouro or wire leader on our spooks (we fish them all the time) it really messes up the balance.. They end up nose diving if there is any kind of chop... We've started making 30-40lb mono leads (which float) which helps out quite a bit.
  21. I would guess it's probably one of the best places to fish for them in southern Ontario.. Just a guess though.
  22. That thing is an absolute monster!!!! Congrats man
  23. Sounds exactly what it's like to drive the 40hp 4stk Honda on the back of our 15' Legend.. No effort at all.
