Great shop!

Looking forward to my refund. Wish the 4 day work week article I read wasn’t an April fools joke. I vote for whomever tables that one! We work too goddamn much

Thanks. Much appreciated I’ve amassed A ton of goodies. Grounding bars, fuse blocks, battery kill switches. It’s going to look a lot like that system. Trying to impart some of my own trickery. (like being able to patch all three batteries together in case the starting battery goes dead) Where I might need a hand is wiring up my new tach. This boat had zero anything in it. (navigation lights and a cigarette lighter is all it had) Trying to bring it up to modern spec.

are you rewiring your controls and console as well? Or just the electronics?

Not the controls. (Assuming you were referring to throttle control. I’m just using the standard OMC controls from the 90s)

everything else is getting rewired. Lighting, switches, power supply, trolling system. The works

Awesome. I’m doing 100% rewire on mine. If I run into trouble I might give you a call

Lindsay is BAD for the ``dark walkers`` or `crack heads`(folks going door to door in the night) checking car`s and more nightly.  

I know the new area may have it`s issues BUT far from the drug abused section Lindsay has turned into.  

Yeah, my Daughter is at Fleming. It was not a feel good dropping her off I’ll say that. Every time I’m in that town there’s always a guy walking through town zig zagging all over. I would have preferred her going anywhere else. 

Good for you guys who choose to help. Everyone has a story and nobody wants to live on the streets. something has happened to these people to cause their lives to fall apart and I’ve heard from many that it is very, very difficult to break that chain and get back on top.
 

I used to be the sorry no change guy because I felt it was just going to be used to buy booze or dope, but maybe they ARE hungry. Now I give. What’s giving a few bucks I’m gonna piss away anyway?? Do I really need it?

Pick up a new Ram last year but decided to just go with the V6.  It’s hauls my 14’ no problem.  I rarely see one that’s not the Hemi out there.  

I head the Hemi is being phased out for a turbo 6 and future electrics

Will probably drop by to check it out! It will defintely be interesting to see how many vendors would be there!

I suspect it may be much smaller than usual. The RV show was half the size from the last time I went 3-4 years ago.

I’m in the midst of a resto-mod with my boat. Thinking of building a rod locker below the floor. 

Disregard …I’m building a ski locker style instead. tubes will be too cumbersome and restrictive

 

I had a big pop up about cookie management for this site with a huge list of toggle choices. I ignored it and it didn’t come back up next visit. Did anyone get that?

I swear I seen one walking the ditch heading up hwy 11 3 years ago. It was huge. Maybe they will kill off the wild boar that are roaming around now.

Yes, that’s an emerging problem… we should start a cougar breeding program. 
 

They were eradicated in southern Ontario with all the farmland and urban development. If I’m not mistaken there was a bounty on black bear and puma around the 1800s. 
 

Because they are so elusive they’re seldom seen. We know they’re all around us in southern Ontario. Yeah the MNR always says that it’s an “escaped pet”. Bull. I do t think They’ve never been completely eradicated, and possibly on a comeback.

I second this. 

 

Third, and disintegrate quickly enough so it does not harm or kill the fish, not 10 years like biodegradable garbage bags

Two-stroke engines are now in demand in the market. But no one says that they have more fuel consumption.

Used market or new?

and where? 

I think OP that your cheapest bet is to buy a spare battery. You can set up trolling motors to run off of small generators, but it’s not a direct hook up. You need a converter (because 12v generator outputs are somwhere around half as much as AC in amps) 

of course, this is kind of crazy when a gas powered OB or kicker will cost less

Interesting, thanks. Found some Dakota lithium 200 amp batteries for 1700 bucks lmao! 

There’s a deal…

is it just back up power you need to get back to camp/launch or are your thoughts to recharge overnight/off use at your campsite etc. 

I think these generators are mainly used to charge small usb devices - phones, flashlights etc

Really? Even sitting in the river spinning for 6 hours while we fish? 

I think it would take 1-2 days to charge a big 12v deep cycle battery at 2 amps depending on its level of depletion. AGM batteries may take less though? I think they are supposed to charge faster. Maybe someone else can chime in

I can’t help you on species or techniques, But there is a Gravel launch to both lakes

I think she’s been eating Muskies. What a belly on it. 

She’s an absolute monster!

Canadian T-shirt weather.

Only in march when we’ve had enough

Merry Christmas and happy New year everyone. Let’s hope we kick Covid to the curb this year to the point it is no different than a flu. Let’s all get on to an OUTSTANDING 2022!!!

Let’s this be the year for getting together with friends and family for epic fishing opportunities, epic bbq’s and high quality living. May you all be blessed with that along with good health and prosperity, tight lines and all that good stuff

cheers

Popa Chubby’s Hey Joe. I’ve seen his name advertised at several bluesfests and never got the chance to see him, but after seeing this vid, I will not miss the opportunity. If you like strong Hendrix songs by the likes of SRV or Kenny Wayne Shepherd, you will probably like this one. Very strong player

Seems to be more common these days. Especially in places you wouldn’t expect like southern Ontario. There was one spotted in the town of Fergus last week and many in the Fergus/Guelph/Eden Mills corridor in the last decade. a deer carcass found in a tree near grand valley. Nothing but a big cat does that.

And I don’t know if it’s worth getting too worried about unless it’s frequenting your property.
