I just recently purchased a new boat(to me). It's 16 ft crestliner fish hawk. What's the best way to mount downrigging plates. My side gunnels are not very wide. Would it be better to have a board all the way across? If so whats the best way to mount it, and I want it removable. Any info appreciated Thanks Scooter

Keep on fighting Shane. You have alot of people pulling for you!! Scooter

I'm interested in your buddys cottage. My family has been going up to bayview and glen echo for 13 years. Thanks Scooter

Hey Dara, You can order them online or from the catalog. I don't know what it is about the red hook, but all my rigs the red is worn right off. The walleye seem to target the red hook. Scooter

Dara save your self the hassel. Bass Pro Shop sell's pre made rigs. They are 48" long with two hook's and you have your choice of a red hook on the top or plain. I recomend getting the red hook! The leader line is fluorocarbon. All you have to do is add you beads and a cleavis and blade, and tie a knot at the end. It take longer to unravel them out of the package then to make your rig. Hope this helps. Scooter

Can I use the same transducer if I upgrade my sonar with the same brand or do I have to replace everything, and if i do how hard is it to replace the tranducer line when it was put on buy the boat manufacture. Is there any tricks to fishing the line through, everything is burried with the side console wires. Any info please Thanks Scooter

Is it worth spending the extra money and getting a combo, or stick with a good quality sonar.Mostly fishing Simcoe and Nipissing. Scooter

I know this has already been discussed but I need some advice. I got the go ahead for father's day to get a new fish finder. I'm looking in the mid $200's . I already have a hand held gps, but is it better to go with a combo or stick with a good finder and what brand do you recommend. Thanks Scooter

Nice fish Rob!! My brothers and I just got back from Callander. The weather sucked but will still managed some fish out at gautier's bay. We didn't get many in the slot and the bigest was 21inches. Look's like all the big fish are still in the south shore area. The nippising jig in orange and chartruse was the hot lure. Scooter

Thanks Face Visor, It's probably a good idea to throw it in just in case. Scooter

Hey Guys what were the blackflies like. I know with all this crazy wheather it's hard to tell. I'm heading up this weekend and want to know if I need to pack the bug jacket or not. Thanks Scooter

Lets hope the weather stays normal for the next little while and settles things down. Scooter

Anyone fish nippissing this weekend? Heading up there next week. Curious to know how everone did with the water being up so high. Thanks Scooter

If I buy a used boat privately, what tax do I have to pay and where do I pay it ??. I know I have to register the boat but I don't have to pay the tax there do I. Thanks Scooter

Thanks for all the info guys, I really apreciate this. Scooter

I just bought an 2007 50hp Two stroke Merc. What type of gas does everybody use premium or reg and what brand? Can some recomend a dealership or shop that can service my motor. Thanks Scooter

Try JB Weld it worked for my boat. They sell it just about everywhere. Just clean up the area with a wire brush and put it on. Scooter

I'm with you guy's not big on crowds. But I've tried the night fishing and never had nothing like that. I'm going to have to try again after seeing those pics. Great job as usual guys. Scooter

Marysville makes the Accord.CRV mostly which sales haven't been as good as the civic. Alliston makes mostly civics which have been are bread and butter! Now that spring is here car sales usually start picking up. Talked to the dealer in Barrie and he told me that sales were slow in February but March has been quite busy. Let's hope were on the upswing with the econmy and get back to normal conditions and we can all start enjoying life again without having to worry if our jobs are going to be around.

I work at Honda. All rumors. We are working full shifts right now, we had non poduction Fridays from the new year to March. There is no more non productions schedualed for now but there is a plant wide meeting next week. We are hearing maybe and extra week for shut down but that's it. We are still pumping out the civic's. There's lot of rumor's going around but most of them are false. All contract workers were let go and plant 2 is down to one shift, no layoff's for permanent asscociates. Scooter

Nice fish fellas. That's my old stomping ground were you were. We use to drive the boat up onto the ice and fish under the ice! The last cottage on the left heading out to the lake has a real nice deep hole right up to the bend. Man I got to make some arangements and get up there. Scooter

Thanks for your replies. Your right I haven't seen many of them other than on fishing shows. Scooter

I'm looking at a used G3 alluminum boat. I don't know much about them and would apreciate some info good or bad. It's a 2003, not sure when the G3 started but it has to be close to when they started to producing them. Thanks Scooter

Go to BPS. They have everything your looking for. They have snell rigs in single,double or tripple hook's and all the beads and blades in ever colour you want. Hope this helps. Scooter

I have been going up to Nip for the las 12 years. The fishing has always been good. Some years there not where they should be , butthat's fishing. If I ever win the lottery, the first thing would be buying some property up there for sure!! Scoter
