The motor on the right is the main and the one on the left is the kicker motor for trolling!!!!

I wonder if he actually owns the boat or if it's scratch and dent merchanise. ie: scratch over the serial #

Sounds like a great deal if it's legit or not in serious need of repair

And 9 minutes with little J in tow!

I think I'm going to borrow the neighbours canoe and explore sometime with ya.

-Brian

I make better time with the little guy in tow since he's big enough to carry his own gear now.

I'm from Woodstock, 20 min east of London. Thames river sludges it's way through the city and I fish quite a bit in both ends of the river (below and above the Gordon Pittock Reservoir). Any one ever want to hook up and do some fishing I'm always game. Would love to get out on LPB for some pike right now.

 

PB

Slowpoke meet Pauly, Pauly meet Slowpoke.

Now both meet some lpb pike.

Did you get the boat out of storage yet Brian?

according to the real estate book I read about 2 months ago ( I was wondering about the same thing) it mostly depends on the township the dock is located in. Some shorelines cannot have a dock due to environmental issues such as spawning habitat etc.

b-ganoush -- u gotta post more --- I am cracking up watching your avatar! PS..keep the creek/river reports coming

You and me both, and great report by the way.

Don't forget the good old :

Right turns allowed on red unless otherwise posted, but only from the curb lane, (not the second lane out from the curb).

ie: 401 west exit @ dixie road or 400 north @ Hwy #7

jjcanoe

unless you get the guy who was sitting behind me snoring the entire trip, from just after takeoff in Detroit until about 40 minutes before landing. that's 7 hrs and 5 mins of a 7 hr 45min flight. So much for trying to beat my jet lag!

jjcanoe

shhhh it's a secret!

Got 2 cod both very small off the beach Friday night. we got 5 in total. and one on saturday out of the canal near the Rotterdam containerport. Lots of fun watching the giant container ships go by and dodging the waves they washed up. I'm going Friday on the North Sea to do some "wreck fishing" for cod, pollack, and whatever else there is out there. I'll post some pictures when I get back if I have time before I take off for my brook trout adventure, but if not, expect to see some brookie pics as well.

Don't know where slowpoke has been lately, He should have just gotten off work a little while ago.

1.60 euros/litre = $2.48/litre in Can$ here in Holland. That equals $9.37.4/ gallon (they don't add the .4 so you can bet they are rounding up)

I guess we don't have it so bad quite yet but Holland is well known for having the worlds highest gas prices. Thats why everyone takes the train/bus/bike or walks everywhere.

I had to go with trout/steelhead option but that is a pretty vague category. Small stream Brook trout are my gamefish of choice and don't have much luck in the boat for their big brothers (cousins) Bass fishing is coming up as second place

jjcanoe

I live in London about a 3 minute walk from the best bass pond in southern Ontario.

jjcanoe

best to do it from the banks over in Europe I'm in Holland right now and it's very easy to hit a bank machine. Keep the transactions to a minimum since the service fees can get costly. Avoid exchanging$$$ at the airport.

My "Algonquin box' contains:

Black twister tail jigs = leechs

small panther martins and mepps spinners in all colours for some variety = minnows

Gold and red or gold and anything cleos = minnows

gold Williams spoons = minnows

a few streamers ( I fly fish as well)

and a few Gold Rapalas = minnows

Leeches are one of the main foods for park trout and gold coloured Dace are the main minnow forage for trout as well hence the gold and black look to my taclke box.

jjcanoe

I second the Thames They should start to be in there pretty thick in the next month or so

jjcanoe

400+ views and only 47 votes!?

I put the question out on another board and grey is the the pick over there so far. Very interesting

jjcanoe

Black and/or yellow twister tails, a few williams spoons, a few spinners and steel leaders.

Brian I would say 100% hit Caballas in Dundee after you are done there just head south into Toledo there is a Gander mountain off exit 8 (this is the exit for the airport) on the 475 you will have to cross over the 475 after you get off then turn left at the first light you will see Babies R us turn there and Gander is in the mall across the street there is also shopping there to keep the wife happy. after you leave there head south again to exit 6 (at least that is the one I think it is) turn right and then left at the first street two blocks down on the right is janns Net craft this place has alot of materal for building everything you want and some tackle its a little shop but neat to see if your there they have a huge where house out back and have alot of stuff in stock out there. then head south again to Hwy75 north this way you will get to see the NEW BPS that I will get to shop at daily in a few months (cant wait) after you cross into MI hit exit 36 Eurika road take a left and there is supposed to be another Gander Mountain there but I have not hit it yet I tried to find it on Friday but the directions were messed up for me and trying to find a store with the big truck is not fun but you know that. with this game place you can hit three Gander (this includes the one in Port huron) Caballas and Janns Net craft there is also a plce in Dundee called splash universe water park and hotel check them out on line there is a $75 voucher ( I dont know what it is for but I did see it yesterday when I was checking out there site) Dont forget to also check out the little shop in Port Huron its right after you come across the blue water bridge beside McDonalds call Pro Tackle small shop but great guy and very help full ask him about the turtle back Gulp worms he sais everyone loves them there on the Stclair river. I hope this helped some call me if ya need some more help.

One truck driver givng another directions and no CB involved!! Hope you have fun on your trip Brian. Cabelas has truck parking out back so your Yukon will fit back there.

See you in 3 weeks or so.

Grey and amber are apparently the 2 most common colours. I didn't realize that there are a lot of other shades of shades. I've got a set of amber and also grey, the amber I keep in the truck for driving and the grey I use for fishing and driving my car.

jjcanoe

Lots of rain thunder and lightning last night across the lake in London

jjcanoe

Unpack them in the house. It keeps garbage off our shorelines.

jjcanoe

Just wondering what colour preferences everyone has, and why you like them or is there a difference.

jjcanoe

I've got a 14.5 ft Lund console with a 40hp on it. The max is a 50hp but I couldn't imagine a 50 on it since the back end sits quite low in the water with the weight of the motor and I can run about 33mph all trimmed out. don't think I want to be going much faster than that in such a small boat. But with a bigger/wider boat you might not notice the speed as much

jjcanoe

Thats in the Peterbourough area. I talk to their drivers on the road from time to time and they all seem to like working for the company.

jjcanoe

Best thing to do in Montreal is not drive anywhere. Walking or taxi or transit is the way to go. OK I might be a bit jaded from trying to drive a tractor with a 53' trailer around there.
