  1. Does your motor have a charging system, electric starter?

    If yes you will need a marine starting battery.

    If no you will need a deep cycle marine battery.

    Look at the Candian Tire Nautilus line. (reasonable price and decent quality)

    Let's see a couple of pics of the boat. In my old 12 footer I put a board (about 10 or 12 inches wide) from the rear seat to the middle seat on the side opposite where I sat and put the battery in a battery box under it. I mounted my finder on the board and used the shelf to hold rods, tackle etc.

  2. Pike will start to spawn while there is still ice on the lake. Walleye usually spawn about 4 to 6 weeks after the pike have done their thing.

    Pike spawn when the water temps are between 34-40 degrees with 36-37 being preferred. Walleye spawn happens when the water temps are between 42-50 degrees with 44-46 being preferred.

  3. Yes, you can get GPS in a portable. Look at the Lowrance M68C and add the Ice Fishing Portable pack and you will have a unit that will work on hard water as well as open water.

    You will also want to purchase a portable transducer mount like this one from Cabelas.

    These work much better than those suction cup mounts that tend to fall off while running at speed.

  4. Hey Drifter 16, that is in fact a fine looking river in your pic........how many seconds after that shot was taken did that rod explode ?

    It is still in fine shape, just ask Keith as he's the owner/operator. ;)

     

    There are those of us that can in fact fish a rod in this fashion without blowing it up.

  5. Hi everyone, first timer here. came across this nice messageboard while surfing for more steelheading information

     

    It is very intresting how people think differently towards the very same sport - fishing

     

    Not sure if any of you have been to this website or not

    Instead of promting positive attitude to encourage people to get into steelheading,

    some of you, probably because of being selfish, try to be secretive about spots/conditions.

     

    Look at messages at PA boards, they not only share what baits to use, how the conditions are

    even looking for people to fish together!

     

    I would rather to get more youngers to get into fishing in return for more fundings for NMR.

     

    Just my two usa cents

     

    It's a little different in PA. There aren't 6,000,000 people living within 20 minutes of most of your spots.

  6. Lowrance is supposed to be having some major software problems, with both the side imaging and any HD model that carrys a Navionics chip. It makes me way too nervous to try them.

    That's why you never purchase a new product in it's first year.

    Hummingbird is having issues with their new flashers, only they are QC issues not software issues.

    The Navionics issue is that only the Platinum chips work right now. After the software update all should work.

  7. WHEN DOES IT STOP????????????????????????? MAYBE WE SHOULD MOVE THE SHOW OUT OF TORONTO AND SEE HOW THEY LIKE THAT. ITS STARTS WITH GUNS AND WHAT IS NEXT FISHING RODS....

    JUST MY 2 CENTS

     

     

    I hope this is salvageable. If in fact it is not, I am hopeful that management will take a serious look at Hamilton, Mississauga or perhaps Oshawa.

     

    I would suggest that it must bring in at least 10 million in sales when one factors in show cost, exhibitor cost and actual sales of services and product.

     

    It remains a pathetic approach to target those that keep the peace.

    Time to move it and teach them a lesson. Millions in lost revenue might teach them a lesson. It's not just sales at theshow either. There's parking, hall rental, accomodations, food etc. Hunting has been given heritage status so who the hell is the mayor to ban the showing of firearms.

    Just another justification to me that my move away from that hole was the right choice!!! :angry:

  8. IMO unless you are searching for sunken ships or fishing under docks SI is a waste of money.

    I would rather have the ability to shoot forward so I can see that reef I'm about to hit before I hit it. :w00t:
