Big fan of them - Garage Crocs - Boat Crocs - Back door Crocs - Camping Crocs Although I will say, getting them wet with bare feet and then trying to walk is a nightmare.

As walleyboss mentioned the black permanent marker on the last 2-4' works well if you are worried about the fading... saw this tip from KVD on the fishing channel.. i'd say if it works for him it must work well. Lakers and super clear water fishing i'll use a floro leaders.

Ark has given you some good advice. I wouldn't get caught up to much on the Networking of the trolling motor to the fish finder imo. Navionics+ and a line zero card (if sitcking with humminbird) for mapping uncharted lakes and you should be good to go. Also get the largest screen you can afford. 7" and under you won't like side imaging on split screen. Good luck.

Also Mike, You have to get on that jig bite for those lakers. It's a riot. Cheers

No issues with my 09 E-tec 75 tiller. Like anything... if you take care of things properly they seldom let you down. That said there are always lemons across all manufacturers. Good move by BRP.

Awesome report man... thanks for taking the time to post!! Cheers

Matthews Tavares Kadri down the middle isn't a bad problem to have. The Leafs think they can fill the defensive void internally with players they are developing in the AHL. Also there was not a big UFA defensive defenseman on the table July 1st. A Babcock quote from 2015 on the day he was hired: "Once we make it safe, they’re coming home. Mark my words, they’ll be coming.” - Speaking about Ontario born players.

Great Report Mike. Solid start to the bass season.

Live Vu and Live Scope look amazing. Garmin is on the forefront of sonar innovation that for sure.

I had this issue with my Ulterra and used a variation of this method: Been using it for over a year and have never hard a problem. I used a small weed eater recoil for the cable management.

Awesome vids.

Some beauty fish. Cheers

Awesome report...... thanks for posting. Cheers

I have the 75 (tiller) and it has been great as well for winterizing and starting up in the spring. Although being in a garage all winter I am sure helps. You still need to do the lower end, antifreeze the pumps, etc... but I know what you mean. "Winterizing" which is just fogging, can be done in 2 minutes at the boat ramp on your last trip before winter storage. Very convenient.

Really cool video. Nice Fish!

Up this way water temps were 53 on a small back lake. 8 Pike 5 OOS smallies and had 2 walleyes on but lost both. No fish was caught deeper than 12' in weedy area's.. Slow moving soft swimbaits were key as the fish were very lethargic.

You’re given more responsibility the harder you work in my experiences which in turn makes you more money. As for Tom Wilson. He plays on the top line with Ovi and has something like 7 points in 9 games this playoffs. He is 6’5 230 hits hard and no one punches him out because he can fight as well. I think there is room in the game for a player like that. As for the hit itself. It’s a 6’5 guy hitting a 6’0 guy north south. You always explode up to try and knock a guy over. Unfortunately with the height difference he blew through the shoulder and caught his chin. At the same time we have a guy running around licking players faces with no consequence. This is today’s NHL.

As mentioned above get a quality reel. A used Shimano is a great was to go. The advantages over a spincast would be better drag, more power, WAY more comfortable to fish with, more accurate and longer casting. Put 50lb braid on it (easier to get out backlashes) and have some fun. The more braking adjustments the reel has the easier it is to tune in... imo. It will take some getting used to but its worth it.

Don't feed the trolls Chris. 1 jump ship "Sens fan" and one "NHL FAN"? They will never understand what being a die hard fan is. Last night was a 1 game winner take all and the boys crap the bed. If Andersen isn't our best player we usually don't do very well. We don't have much of a D core and that was obvious last night... but we knew this going into this season. I am not a Gardiner fan and hes taking a lot of heat for an awful game played... but he owned it and spoke to the media about it... kudos to him. Obviously there is work to do still to compete with the top tier teams in the league. We are only 2 seasons into a rebuild after finishing dead last 3 seasons ago. We will get there. An improved season... GLG

The tone in which you wrote this makes it feel like you enjoy that sort of thing. Easy there Dr. Lecter. Civility and respect? Hahahaha. 99.5% of your posts are no where close to being civil and you have never shown an ounce of respect to anyone who call themselves a Leafs fan. Get off your high horse. Leafs won a game they probably shouldn’t have. Officiating was brutal. Freddie was great. We are still alive. GLG

10lb on a spinning reel can be used for a lot of different applications. Cheap mono backing on 1/4 to 1/2 of the spool and quality braid like Power Pro tipped with a floro leader will last you a long time. I use this setup on almost all of my rods.

I would think after your team had the worst season since their expansion year that a smart fan would be a little more aware of their surroundings. But he is the ultimate troll. Cant wait to watch some Leaf playoff hockey. Matt I am sure you can sneak into one of those seasons ticket holder town hall meetings Ottawa is holding and complain about the ice being to cold.

Been through the whole array of polarized glasses. Cheap CT Rapalas, and Strike Kings, Oakley's, and now Maui Jim's. For me the difference was night and day even between the Oakley's and Maui's. 0 eye fatigue at all being outside all day.... and also great for driving or anything else. Personally I have matte black Maui Jim Pheai with the glass HCL bronze lenses and they are fantastic. Easy to clean and good for all around sunlight conditions. Also the Maui Warranty is second to none in the sunglasses world. If you can afford quality sunglasses...... get them.

Best way to do it. Took this on fly ins or anytime we needed a transducer on a cached boat. Works like a charm. Screw in cable tie saddles down the piece of wood and use cable ties to manage the transducer cable.

Well he made over $10,000 with a go fund me account to put up the billboards so I guess there are a few people who like what he is doing. If Eugene decides to move the team it won't be because of the billboards... it will because there are not enough "real fans" in the city of Ottawa to support a hockey team... which in my opinion is an absolute disgrace. I am sure you wouldn't meet the guy at the bar though... its probably because the drinks are to expensive, the parking lot is to crowded, there is to much traffic to get there, or you hate the owner of the bar. These are the excuses Sens fans use right? Go Leafs!
