DRIFTER_016

Drifter is correct about the no firearms however we were at the Brooks River, not McNeil. And we had bear spray with us. The problem with the bear bangers is that if you shoot it towards a bear and it goes off behind the bear, it may scare the bear in your direction!....but we had no close calls with the bears

Same park, different river.

Didn't draw a permit huh?

Neat video Brandon!!!! I gotta ask.. are any of you carrying a firearm or bear banger at least???

As far as I know no firearms allowed in the McNeil River Wildlife Sanctuary.

By the way we have Leafs TV at the camp for all you Habs fans,,,,,hahaha

Keep it up Eddie and you will find your web site full of porn!!!!

Gets the old adrenaline going don't it?

There's nothing that makes you feel more vulnerable than being 15' from a 1000# eating machine.

Don't ask me how I know.

well in a couple of weeks I will be off of a month

 

if we don't get ice, I might have to drive up that way for fishing..LOL

In a month the days will be 4 hours long, it will be -40 and I'll be hibernating!!!

Plenty of ice there. I was out on 3" or so two weeks ago.

Now we have plenty and the Yamaha's coming out to play next weekend.

Here's yesterdays ice.

does billy crystal count?

Who?

Leslie Neilsen died of complications from pnemonia yesterday.

RIP Leslie Nielsen

Been super slow since it blew up earlier this week.

Bring and extension for the ice auger!

Like this one?

Yeah, I caught the end of his show as well and heard that.

Too bad it wasn't Italo retiring!!!!!

I'd agree, you live in a pretty cool place, pay extra for gas but the GTA sucks

I'll say, it was -40 with the wind chill when I was ice fishing last weekend.

I have enough gas stockpiled to last me until Christmas.

The ferry is back in operation and cheap ($1.16) gas should be here in 2 or 3 hours.

The Mackenzie river ferry has been out for over a week due to low water and Yellowknife is running low on food supplies and fuel. I heard that gas stations in town were running low on gas on Tuesday so I went and filled up the truck and a couple of cans to fill up the sled. On Wednesday 3 of the 5 gas stations were out so late yesterday they started flying in gas from Hay River. There were long line ups today at one station that got some fuel in. Cost of a liter of gas Tuesday $1.169, price of a liter of fuel that has been flown in..............................................$1.999!!!! YIKES!!!!

83 cents per liter increase, and there are people lined up down the street to pay it.

The good news is the ferry is opening at 6PM MST tonight and they are only letting supply trucks in and out until Sunday noon when they will let regular folk in and out.

I have a full tank and 20 gallons to spare so I should be good until the price goes back to normal.

whats the topic?

How about slow, crappy forum performance?

As I am looking for a USED boat, the question came up as to what motor I should be looking at. The boat I am considering is a Lund Explorer 1825 Sport. I like this boat for the walk-through windshield and the rod storage.

 

NOW, the question is that I have been able to find the boat with either a 115 Yamaha, a 90HP Honda, and all kinds of Mercury engines. I have been leaning towards the 115 Yamaha. Its a 4-stroke and apparently very reliable. I see them on boats at fishing lodges, so assume they are the better motors.

 

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK, would be the best motor for a Lund 1825 Explorer Sport?

 

Also, I live in Richmond Hill, Ontario and would like to find a dealer that will let me walk around the boats, but my closest dealer has NO STOCK. Any place that has stock so that I can see and touch the boats?

 

I think there are boats at the cottage show this weekend in Toronto. Anyone know if LUND has a booth?

Nothing wrong with any of them, but if you have found one with a nice Yamaha on it......Buy It!!!

Check to see where your cavitation plate sits in relation to the bottom of the hull.

You want it about 1" below the bottom of the hull to start and you can adjust from that starting point.

Great job guys.

Just today and tomorrow left in this round of voting.

So if'n you ain't voted yet, what are you waitin' fer.....................an invitation?

You are cordially invited to vote for us.

4124 and rising fast !!! I have 2 emails now

Got another email address you can use?

I wonder what happens if I come South to boat?

I live in the NWT the only province/territory that doesn't require you to get the card.

I've had my card for about 10 years but it would be fun to see what happened if I got stopped and said I didn't have or need one because of where I lived.

If'n yer lookin' fer ice fishin' info for Edmonton and surrounding area ask Here and all shall be revealed!!!
