Awesome report Mike! Thanks for sharing.

Don't waste your time...Nothing but hammerhandles there.

Been out on Lake Ontario for Salmon since early April...Pike trip on the Long weekend...Can't wait. Too much work and not enough fishing makes for a boring life...

I'm pretty sure a 24v motor won't run on 12v...

That 2nd place guy sure looks to be a Dunneville native! Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Well, its most likely lower unit gear oil. 2 possibilties, its coming out of the drain plug cause you didn't replace the gasket and/or tighten the plug, or its coming from the propshaft seal cause you have fishing line wrapped in there and its blown the seal...Remove the prop and thrust washer and check for fishing line...

Welcome!

South (5 minutes)of Kinmount on hwy 121, turn left(east) on Crystal Lake road, go about 8 Kms you'll see the Dump on your left. Sunday nights the Dump Lady lets you park and watch the Bears.

Good on you, dying of Lung Cancer is a pretty stupid way to go... I stopped on January 20th...

Wow, you must be really enjoying waiting for, and watching such a nice boat being built! I'm not a Bass-boat fan but that sure is one nice looking ride! Since you seem willing to say I'm curious a well on the final price tag.

Those look great! Nice work.

Arnie= Great lines and being one of the biggest around at one time!

Bow mounts require a platform to mount onto, shouldn't be to hard to build. If you're not too handy I bet there's an OFNer nearby that would help! I would look at a 40-55# Minnkota Powerdrive, these come with a foot control that'll reach anywhere in your boat. As far as fishfinders go, there's a www.radioworld.ca ad in the current Ontario Out Of Doors listing an Eagle Fishmark 480 for $155!!! Thats a great unit for that price! 480x480 resolution, 1500 watts.

Very cool, keep the reports coming!

Right now! Jordan Harbour to Port Dalhousie. 30-60 fow. Inline planner boards. Baits 100 feet back. Orange and/or red stickbaits like a Rapala J13!

Sudbury would give you great access to the North...

We are one year away from the 2011 Muskies Canada Muskie Odyssey VI in St. Catharines! Canada's BEST, and ONLY all Muskie Show! We have a couple of speakers lined up that are the biggest names in the Muskie Fishing world! ALL proceeds raised by Muskies Canada goes directly back into the fishery, supporting projects like the LSMRP-Lake Simcoe Muskelunge Restoration Project, Catch & Release Study(2009/2010) by Dr. Steven Cooke and Sean Landsman, KTD(Know The Difference)Signs(check out how many are around the Kawartha Lakes now!) http://www.muskiescanada.ca/general_information/odyssey.php

I made my own Transome bar(downrigger board)

Great report! Too bad you didn't head out to the Bar, the Lakers are stacked out there right now!

Too easy Doc. Sounds like a great way to honour one of your own.

keep in mind a large spool diametre (including line) ups the retrieve speed, and a power handle also helps.

Bob, thats a great set-up! Add a Lowrance VHF radio and be able to broadcast your position in an emergency!

Now that's just wrong! He should be at home playing Superbox 820 or some such thing!!!

If you have a sonar at the bow of your boat and the transducer is 16 or 20 feet away at the stern you are not using that unit to its fullest potential...Do you want to know whats under you? Or behind you?
