  1. This is generally the case with legends. I’ve met the odd legend owner that was happy with their boat, but most I’ve talked to or known have been underwhelmed and eventually moved on! Also, like you’ve already heard the 115 is underpowered.
  2. Best used for locating rocks and gobies!
  3. Whatever you do, don’t buy into that! No corn gas!
  4. That may be so, but I've owned a lot of crappy old sleds in my day and never had a problem getting parts, current shortages aside.
  5. I'm not sure how accurate the 7 years support is. I have never had a problem getting parts, even factory parts many years after production. Case in point we just recently obtained a factory new (from Polaris) water pump for a 1997 Indy touring 500 with just a bit of lead time for delivery Also, while Polaris generally makes garbage ATV's, I've ridden and owned Popo sleds, amongst others and it's about the only thing they do well. The indy lite 340's in particular are gangbuster little fishing sleds! I rode with a hunt camp full of guys that wouldn't touch a Polaris bike if you paid them because every one we had in the camp broke down at some point, but they where all riding polaris in the winter with few exceptions.
  6. Perch killer….. if your selling, I’m buying. Let me know!
  7. I use a helix 5 and a 5AH battery and it lasts me all day even if I charge my phone. I don't have my screen set to max brightness, but you shouldn't have issues. I'm going to take an old 2AH battery out one day just to see how long it lasts.
  8. Whew! That’s a big rig! Love those tracks, and it was nice to find out just how surprisingly easy they are to install!
  9. Your going to love that setup. I carry 2 batteries, a 5AH on the fishfinder and a 9AH on the auger. If I ever run out of gas on the 5AH between my phone and the finder, I just switch out the auger battery. Its slicker than snot on a doorknob! I used it in the tin boat up north all summer too!
  10. Gotcha… was thinking Kitchener and maybe I’d be able to help him out!
  11. What’s K town?
  12. You should send Brian a PM. He kindly offered me all 4, but that is more than I can use so it’d be nice if someone else can utilize them!
  13. Looks good for the top shot!!
  14. They are. We had a giant pike swim into a line of our diver decoys at the top end of lake simcoe about 25 years ago and he attempted to grab a bufflehead decoy. It was the coolest thing ever!
  15. That’s pretty generous buddy, you can archery hunt if you want but it’s in WMU 41 and doe tags are 40 percent draw odds and deer herds are skinny compared to down here LOL. Bears aren’t a problem though LOL Come for a coffee in the spring and I’ll get the map out and show you some things out my way too!
  16. I’ll send you a message…. I’m not looking right now but I haven’t managed to survey the whole place as yet and I might want a couple more once I figure out the right spots!
  17. Thanks for the grimsby tackle tip. I’ll check it out. I don’t use nanofil for float fishing. Not much use for it in that application, I’ve been on the trilene bandwagon for 20 years or so since they stopped making samurai green. nanofil is the cats keester on a spinning reel though!
  18. Have fun, hunting is a rewarding activity even when your not successful!. Marketplace idea is very good as well, also kijiji. I picked up 4 ladder stands in good condition for our place up north this year for less than half the cost of new… Sinker is correct, you don’t need new or latest and greatest to be successful. Just about everything I own, from fishing to hunting gear has been bought used in very good to excellent condition including most of my firearms. There is a deal around every corner if your paying attention!!
  19. Don’t shoot the long white ducks with the green heads and long beaks. That will be an eating experience you will never forget or want to replicate! And Buying hunting gear from small shops is getting harder everywhere unfortunately. We only have a few small shops out my way and some of the better ones have closed down. I deal with Clinton sporting goods and do most of my business for shooting, reloading and hunting gear with him, great shop and owner is awesome to deal with, plus my range is just down the street so I get there every time I go shooting. But that’s a heck of a long way from cooks bay and I don’t know if he ships. I have also done a lot of business with Elwood Epps for over 25 years and have never been disappointed with them. I stop in every time when we are heading to our place up North. Best place in Ontario for used firearms selection. Also in the Orillia area is Trombly’s tackle box. The owner Remi is a stand up guy and old hunting buddy of mine. Very good selection and a nice shop to look around, with a lot of selection. That’d be where I look. Between Trombly’s, Epps and Wolfs Den you should cover all your bases!
  20. It’s been a few years since I got my ice unit, but it was in a bag in a chip holder with navionics packaging and CD I believe and it had it clearly marked on the box as navionics included. Sorry I don’t have my packaging.
  21. What he said!
  22. Oh no….. this is terrible news…. I wish I’d known sooner and I’d be scooping it up.
  23. Try cooking your singles in muriatic acid pal. Looks like a fresh egg, but hard enough to put on a hook!
  24. My kids also use the Siennas. Surprisingly decent reels at a low price. I also use the smaller ones on almost all of my ice rods. Good stuff!
  25. You should not tell them anything. The lawyer they supposedly have should advise them. I've seen plenty of f@#ckery in my day, and it sounds like some is afoot.
