When it comes to Aluminum, this man knows of what he speaks! I would listen to him! I bought an Alumacraft Escape 165 Tiller in 2017 with a 40 HP Yamaha. I have been really pleased with it and when I went deep into it to run cables and wiring I was totally impressed with the construction of it. I would think Crestliner and Lund are also very good names. I personally would stay away from a lot of other welded hulls for the reasons Wayne mentions. This is my third aluminum boat, all riveted hulls and never had a leak.

Yep, just common creek chub! Lots of fun for kids to catch. (oh, and big kids like me too!) lol

Ice Bungalows! Best part was laying in bed while fishing! lol

Nice report and thanks for sharing! Sounds like you had a great week!

See, that is the thing though Paul, Mike D fishes with regular people on their home lakes. That is one of the things I find so refreshing about Lunkerville! I’m wondering if States such as New York do a lot more stocking of their lakes. Stocking for Bass in Ontario is pretty much non existstant from what I know.

Beautiful Dave and well done! My question is this: I have been watching quite a few episodes of Lunkerville shot in upstate NY on some beautiful lakes. How come they can fish from ice out to ice up for Bass and still have such great fishing?I mean the population is much greater than Ontario and yet with all the fishing pressure these lakes receive pre spawn, spawn, and post spawn, they seem to have real decent numbers of fish! Is the way we think here maybe outdated? I'm just putting it out there. When you see the longer fishing seasons in the Southern US states, you could argue that the fish spawn multiple times per year and have longer growing seasons. Upstate NY has a climate very similar to ours.

Where the hell are you fishing??? That is something I don't need to ever see, let alone on the river while fishing! lol

Do you ever use the Provincial Park one? It looks nice, but very uneven. A real pain when loading the boat back on the trailer.

Very nicely said Cliff. I never had the pleasure of meeting Sue in person, but from all of your posts over the years, I could tell she was someone special.

Geez David, wish I had heard of this earlier in the week! I never heard a thing about it.

2020 it is!

Who you calling a FF???? lol Ok, we will take my boat?

Nice B, real nice! lol

Not that it matters, but I only agree with half of the posts on this thread! I do agree that I have no faith whatsoever in the court system to sort this out fairly. In defence of Art (not that it is necessary or matters!) but in the case of a recent thread of mine, I requested that he shut it down. He respectfully obliged. Thanks Art, for all you folks do!

Fantastic Steve! Thanks for sharing!

NP, I was always taught to watch your pennies........the dollars will look after themselves!

Nice, I have never caught a Lake Trout. Definitely on my bucket list!

Sounds like a lot of fun Bill! Thanks for the tip!

Wayne (Irishfield) would be your best resource for attaching to the pontoon, but I would think a good adhesive (or epoxy) and some decent pop rivets like 3/16" or bigger would be best. I have never used the 5200 sealant, but it sounds like others have with good success.

It is not a urination contest! I said we can limp down to the water and fish together! Let it go....I have! I agree, have a good day Sir!

OI, I am relaxed! In 288 days, I will be more relaxed! Maybe one day we will limp down to the waters edge and fish together! ch312, thanks for your input! I will definitely read your link. It still does not relive them of terrible customer service skills!

Wow! You tell me I am "out to lunch", explain how you were not able to do your job properly (on more than one occasion), decide to "slag" your Mother, and then try to make me feel bad compared to the children in a hospital! Who is the miserable old man here? lol I'm not saying this is world ending problem! I'm also not saying that it is more important than all the other %&^#$ed up situations we are in! I am merely trying to find out if this is indeed legal. Thanks for your input.

No, Orangeville store.

Exactly Bill! Why should either CTC or Government get it?

Art, How about you send me the $1.30......thats Canadian......so maybe 20 cents American. Just put a note with it saying sorry for your aggravation, Canadian Tire. I'll go away happy and quiet! lol I feel better already!
