  1. It's a tricky system that's for sure. It's not bad when bank busting, but any kind of wind and precise boat control goes out the window.
  2. Atlantic.
  3. Yup, don't turn the phone on... Put it in a bowl and cover it with Uncle Bens Rice... Great at pulling moisture out of electronics..
  4. Most likely Lake St.Clair...
  5. Perfect small stream trout rod. Perfect for bush wacking Nice and nimble for making decent underhand pitch casts. Will allow you to run 2-4lb test, as it's power will take a lot of strain (Kinda like your long light 10ft)
  6. Shimano Sahara and perhaps a 1 piece Shimano Clarus.
  7. hahahaha I'm just giving you a hard time man. If I had to choose, I'd also tow with a truck, without a doubt.
  8. Goodluck man!! My dad and I will be making that trip in a few shorts weeks.
  9. You heard it here folks, you cannot tow with a car, especially a 15ft tiller.... I guess you think I'm lucky to also own a truck for towing duty, what would I have ever done without one!!!
  10. Nice fish! I've gone out on many many occasions with no follows, no strikes, no nothing. I still enjoy tossing monster baits with the hope that something might engulf them I did get a 5lb+ smallmouth bass inhale 1/2 a TopRaider before... Poor thing that the entire treble and prop in it's mouth (the hooks aren't small, lol) Keep at it, I'm sure you'll be rewarded soon enough.. You are in prime time muskie water.
  11. I get readings on my 747c up to about 20km/h or so.. Sounds like an installation issue if you don't get bottom going any faster then trolling speed.
  12. Of course they didn't, who is arguing that? The OP stated 1500lbs, his rig apparently weighs in at 1200lbs. Do us a favour and sell the truck and tow with the Buick, let us know how you make out. Also, I'm sure you know already but you'll save more gas if you stay IN gear going downhill then you would by using neutral Like I said, I find the whole 'if you don't have a truck you shouldn't tow' attitude.. Definitely good for a few laughs.
  13. Mike's favourite movie... I think he recited the whole thing the last time we went fishing
  14. Is it Thursday morning yet?!?!?!??!
  15. The good thing about this 'Can I tow' thread is that the car the OP is talking about is rated to easily tow the boat he is talking about But of course if you don't have a truck, you shouldn't be towing anything, lol.
  16. LMAO!!!!!! You guys are killing me.
  17. No kidding, it's in the mag??? I haven't even gotten my copy in the mail yet... Gotta give Dave (JDMLS) credit, he took the pic, I just caught the fish Mike, I'll sign your rod if you want, just let me know bud
  18. Nice Randy! My 99.5 (First model year of the MKIV body) has been hopped up a little. Bosio Sprint 502 nozzles, 11mm pump, PD150 intake manifold, Technine Stg II chip tune. Last dyno it put down 150hp/251ftlbs I even have a Youtube vid of it. Nozzles are the best bang for you buck upgrade to these cars.. 10-15hp, 30-40ftlbs and a good 5% increase in mileage. They range in price from $150CAD up to $300US or so... I'm a diehard TDI nut if you haven't figured it out yet.
  19. Now THAT is crazy!!!! I am laughing just thinking about it
  20. Uh, the Jetta isn't a compact car, lol. I towed my oldmans 15' Legend along with a 40hp 4stroke Honda with my Jetta TDI all the time before I picked up my truck. Handles it with ease and I've use some REALLY crappy boat launches.. No need for airbags on the rear either, doesn't load up the rear suspension as you would suspect.
  21. Rent a car dolly from UHaul.
  22. That means tell us a little about yourself... Asking for fishing info in your first post isn't a very good way of introducing yourself
  23. Geez, if this is in Barrie gimme a ring before you head out
  24. USPS/Canada Post won't charge you brokerage or duty on items valued at $40US or less.
