  1. Here you go. Federal Publications
  2. If that doesn't work you can always get a bigger boat to go with the bigger motor!!!!
  3. Looks very similar in size to this Ontario bass. According to my calculations this bass would need to have a 25 1/2" girth to be 10 pounds!!!! Bounty Fishing Tourney
  4. While almost all shows are blatent advertising including The Chronz Meister that is what they are there for, to promote and sell fishing related items and services. The hope is that there is some good fishing thrown into the 20 minutes of airtime to make it worth while watching. There are a couple of shows that aren't 20 minute long infomercials that are broken up with 10 minutes of more commercials but not many.
  5. They stand behind their guarantee Mike. If it doesn't slow you down enough the will either figure out how to make it work better (different sized tabs & shock combo) or refund your $$. Everthing I have heard about them is that they will bend over backwards to make them work for your application. As I said check out iboats for lots of first hand info.
  6. I don't see what the problem is. The trailor is puttin' enough weight over them rear weels fer good enuf trakshun. Plus that thar 4X4 is not just pine it's sothern yella pine which is much stronger than that weak stuff y'll gots up north.
  7. Mike I told you to give Nauticus a call and let them know what your boat and motor combo are and what you need to do. I'm sure they have sold them to owners with similar rigs as yours. You can also post your question on iboats.com as there are a lot of people running Nauticus trim tabs on that site. The difference between these and a regular trolling plate is two fold 1/ they do not block the prop so steering is more precise when trolling and 2/ when not trolling they are trim tabs with all the benefits of trim tabs (get on plane faster, at a slower speed, better gas milage, plus you will gain 1 or 2 miles an hour on top end speed) Nice railway too!!! Your dad's life just got easier. But I gues you will continue to carry your stuff to stay in shape, right?
  8. I stand corrected, I guess it still covers me if I shoot someone at the range or in the field or hook them in the wazzoo while fishing though.
  9. Or you can join the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. You are then covered for $3,000,000 worth of liability when doing fun stuff in the outdoors. OFAH Member Benefits
  10. I wonder if they will come up and play Yellowknife. For some reason almost all big name bands ignore us, go figure. The last big name band we got up here was The White Stripes.
  11. FYI Mercury has a standard 3 year warranty on thier motors and if you buy before the end of July they'll add 2 more years. We have been running Merc 30hp 4 strokes at our lodge for about 7 or 8 years and they extremely well. You don't really have to worry about theft as they are bolted on (they don't use the clamps).
  12. Been there, done that, didn't like it much.
  13. John Community planning and mapping is probably the most common application. Have a look at the GNWT's GIS community mapping site. GIS Mapping Yellowknife GIS Interactive Map
  14. Get yourself a pontoon boat. If you can walk down the street you can use one of those bad boys.
  15. The stuff does work very well. I got mine at Napa.
  16. Yep, the all mighty buck speaks volumes. They are putting all that garbage at the bottom of the mine which is a heck of a lot safer than doing anything else with it. The area affected is only the tinyest portion of the lake though, unlike the Great Lakes with their over developemnt and pollution. The grayling have even started coming back to Backer Creek since the mine shut down and the cleanup started. There have also been lakers caught in Yellowknife Bay in the last couple of years, so the cleanup is having a positive effect.
  17. I have no problem eating the fish I catch out of my Great Lake, lakers and all.
  18. Nice!!! It can be made into a decent fishing boat by simply making a removable box/pedestal seat system for the front, removing the cushions when fishing and removing the seat box when not. Plus add a bowmount trolling motor and yer good to go. If the cushions are fairly solid they could just be left in place. Putting in the removable seat base and seat would take 30 seconds. Heck if you wanted to get fancy you could even make a door on the stern end of the box that would open revealing a stack of plano boxes. Have a look at the artists rendering and imagine a pedestal seat and trolling motor.
  19. It sounds to me like the manufacturing of the product is in place and on the market (probably south of the border). He is looking to become the Canadian distributer of said product and not compete in already established markets. That's my take on it anyway, I could be completely wrong. It happened once before, in the spring of 1974 if I remember correctly.
  20. Hey Bunk They were all caught pulling metal, mostly with belly strip trailers. The softwater season is short indeed, but the ice fishing and snowmobiling is pretty decent. There are some of those snot rocket things you like too. The biggest I have heard of so far is a 53" monster out of the North Arm. How'd you like to pull that up through 5' of clear black ice? Let me know if you are going to make it up.
  21. And the Pistols, Talking Heads, NewYork Dolls, Teenage Head, B52's, Iggy................................................
  22. You guy's pay for the gas and I'm in!!!!! It will take close to 2 full barrels to do the trip with my thirsty 2 stroke!!!! Plus we will have to make a deal with Plummers for refueling as we can't carry that much fuel with us. That won't be a problem though. It might be tough getting the three of us + the dog and all our gear in one boat though. It will be a 7 or 8 hour boat ride to boot. Prepare for a sore by the time we get there.
  23. Here's my buddy Sahtu out fishin' The first 3 were taken on last weekends camping trip.
