  1. At my place in Central Frontenac my propane powered Generac kicks in for a bit at least 3 or 4 times a year. The way they've strung the hydro lines through the bush, and eastern Ontario being a magnet for ice storms makes back up power a necessity. Yeah, ice storm of '98 it took Hydro 23 days to restore power my previous place on the lake.
  2. Orillia Perch Festival kicks off this weekend. There'll be a pack of boats out from Atherly Narrows...they're usually catchin' more than a sun tan..
  3. Nice shootin' !! Lake O looks flat as a mill pond. Spoon bite ?
  4. I think it's a take on "Cabbage Dragon" which is common moniker for Musky in NW Ontario.
  5. I find that "roughing" up the ball and socket on the Ram mounts with 80 grit sandpaper helps keep them in place.
  6. You can't beat late July/early August anywhere in the GTA...Scarborough Bluffs, Toronto Islands, Mimico, Port Credit, and Bronte . From my experience, the south shore (Grimsby, St. Catharines, Niagara) is best late April to early June. Smitty55 is right on...I have several buddies that move their charters from Port Dalhousie/Weller in the spring to Bronte/Credit for the summer. That being said, anywhere on the lake all summer long will always produce some fish. Just keep in mind that often by late August/early September they start thinking more about spawning than eating.

  8. Fishing for spring and early summer Walleye on the BOQ, we'd regularly hook up with some big Cats. Best spot seemed to be the mouth of the Napanee River right underneath the hydro lines. We'd catch them dragging worm harnesses, but I imagine cut bait would be the way to go if you wanted to specifically target them.. I've also seen them come out of the plunge pool below Dam #1 in Trenton.
  9. Another couple of weeks and it should be time for my highlight of spring.. Fresh Trout with Fiddleheads, Morels and Wild Leeks...
  10. Best time of year...Fiddleheads and Morels are up next !
  11. From what I see out in the market...any unit that has SI also has DI. A lot of units are only DI, but I'm not aware of any units that are only SI. Perhaps someone can correct me. Personally, I use SI all the time, but it's not a necessity. DI is a must have...there are a lot situations where I want to know exactly what's directly underneath the boat.
  12. Go to : https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/fishonline/Index.html?viewer=FishONLine.FishONLine&locale=en-CA It's a digital map that allows you to zoom in right down to a 100 ft, so you can see exactly where the border is between the zones. it also provide details for species present, stocking history and fishing regulations for each individual body of water.
  13. I have a 2016 Honda Pilot AWD that I bought brand new that now has 356k km on the odometer. I regularly tow several boats with it including a 19ft I/O fiberglass bowrider that has a total weight of approximately 4000lbs. Never had a single issue with it. It's been absolutely flawless. Other than a couple of sets of all-season and winter tires, 2 batteries, and several brake jobs...I have not spent a penny on it other than routine maintenance. People still comment on how nicely it rides, and how squeak and rattle free it is even with all these miles on it. Highly recommend the Pilot. Also look at the Passport...exact same vehicle except doesn't have the 3rd row seats. In fact, as soon as Honda releases it in Canada in the next few weeks, I'm buying a new Passport Trailsport.
  14. Substantial areas of open water up here in Central Frontenac. Another week or two at most before it's gone. It's usually a good blow from the south-west that finally does it..
