isn't gannow narrows always ice free? lol.

Not sure how the north end is, but the southern end of all kawartha lakes ive seen are frozen as far as I can see. Sturgeon, pigeon, chemong, and scugog. It was -15*c last night, it made a lot of ice.

I think some of the problem is lots of people dont wear poppies. But instead of saying Canadians in general aren’t wearing poppies, he singled out immigrants in Mississauga and Brampton. “You people come here and enjoy our milk and honey” come on guys, if you can’t see that’s offensive.....

Not all 91 fuel is ethanol free though. Lots of 91 has ethanol, it will say on the pump.

Something in the north Bay Area perhaps, doesn’t have to be nipising. Anyone have any recommendations on places they’ve stayed. Not sure if any lakes in muskoka do overnights. thanks!

That worked. It actually looks like the zerk is only for the tilt tube, not the steering rod. I guess my model you cant grease the steering rod, theres no zerk for it.

Thanks drifter. do you clean the steering rod with anything to get the old dry grease off?

Putting the boat away for the winter and was greasing the zerks, I found three on my mercury outboard. One of them is on the tilt tube where the steering shaft goes in. Im wondering if you just put enough in until it comes out the end. Ive noticed the steering rod is kind of covered in the old grease and its a bit sticky, causing a bit of stiff steering.

Id imagine people don't like sharing spots anymore. To many people lurk forums that aren't members and then just go to these spots were they see fish. So if someone posts big pike in lake x. Guess what lake will have 100x more people at it.

Thanks, ya i did a bit of searching, I didnt know shad couldnt live below 45* water. So definitely not going to have them.

The Ontario website (fishonline) doesn’t say what bait fish are in lakes, only the larger fish. im looking to find out what type of minnow type of fish are in lakes. Like gobys, shiners, shad, etc. i know I can see what type of panfish are in the fishonline site. I’ve never seen shad in the lakes I fish but wondering if they’re their.

Could be lots of reasons. People catch and keep without knowing, or catch by accident and end up killing because they take to long to unhook and get back in water properly. Lots of guys bass fishing catch them on spinner baits all the time and don’t have any nets or tools to handle a big fish.

It’s that time of year to put yard equipment away. Do you guys prefer to run stabil or run the motor dry of gas and empty the tank.

Would you consider an ATV for ice fishing season? Wondering about an ATVs utility year round.

What would be considered high mileage for a 10 year old or more machine? Seeing lots of 10,000km machines

That’s a nice machine. That’s exactly what I’m looking to get. How do you like it?

I’m trying to find a two up machine. Not sure who makes them two up with fan cooled. I haven’t found any for sale yet. Everything is liquid cooled

Thanks guys. I thought Polaris was the only ones to make fan cooled sleds. lol the two sleds I’m looking at are an arctic cat t570 and a Polaris edge grand touring 700.

I think it’s nice young people are taking an interest (not that I’m old but I’m well beyond my high school years). I think focusing the efforts here in Canada wont make any difference as been indicated by others already. I’ll echo the comment that China and India need to get on with reducing emissions before we see any kind of changes.

Looking for a sled for ice fishing this year. My budget sticks me around 2005-2008 era it seems. Any brands that I should avoid? Anything I should be looking for when I check it out? Thanks.

I use the blue marine stabilizer in every tank. I also run an orange stabilizer in my lawn mower, I think its called ethanol stabilizer or something.

Unfortunately the drug problem isn’t just Barrie. It’s lots of small towns, and it’s really noticeable because the towns are small. You’ll find this problem everywhere. Opioids are a national crisis. But not to get derailed, one thing I forgot before is there’s a lot of little things you might miss that you take for granted. Pizza delivery? Not outside gta lol. Want to buy new clothes? The malls got 20 stores geared at geriatrics.

You don't have to goto the absolute sticks. The Kawarthas have all the regular amenities as the city; lots of areas get enbridge gas (if not propane). If your not in a town, then yes its well and septic; but you don't pay anything for the well and you pay the city for your water. Theres all kinds of nice small towns an hour to an hour half from Toronto. And lots of water front spots as well.

No slot and no limit on carp. Fish until your hearts content.

The only thing I do notice is all the clouds are different in every picture. Some have no clouds, some just a bit, one picture is complete overcast. But it definitely looks like the same part of the same lake every time.
