I hope everything works out, there will be a couple extra prayers for you tonight. Jerry

Have a great trip, and don't forget the pics.

I am glad I missed it, we are all fishermen or women here, race is not an issue. ALL WELCOME! Great work by the Admins.

I bought one of the Abu combos last year and loved it. But as a result of my own stupidity I broke it. They refunded me for it , but didn't have any left and said that they couldn't raincheck it. Well it looks like I will have to go in tomorrow and get a new one. Thanks for the heads up Irish.

Another set of prayers here!

I have an 03 Chevy Blazer, great for towing not so hot on gas mileage. With the trucks you listed, I know 2 people with Santa Fe's and they are good little trucks, however I think you will have a tough time finding one for under $10,000. I also know some Escape owners and I think that would be your best shot at something in your price range to do the towing( Mazda tribute is the same truck as the Escape.) Hope this helped a bit.

I had a 94 aerostar a few years back and I bought a class 2 hitch set up from a wrecking yard for $50. I knew I wouldn't have the van for too long and it installed easy, as said the holes are already in the frame. Just call a wrecker and ask if they have an aerostar with a good hitch setup on it. The new blazer already came with the hitch. But based on how many things fell apart on my aerostar I wouldn't trust a bumper hitch.

Welcome to the board , and it didn't take you long to figure out the picture posting, good job.

I have had one of the Wal-Mart Energizer Deep Cells since I got my boat, this is the fourth season now and so far no problems. I can troll all day with it. I bought a second one last year so that I have 2 fully charged deep cells when I am camping for a weekend without electricity. The 2 last a 3 day weekend.

Tower Manor Lodge has tenting and boat rentals, just outside Bewdley. There are alot of cottage resorts on the lake that should let you tent and rent you a boat.

That sucks that they cancelled your surgery !, you have been dealing with this for a long time . Hopefully you can get this fixed up pretty soon. Best wishes.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Your wife says " I just want to change the paint colour in that room"

Man! I just finished eating and now i'm hungry again!

After recently obtaining a basic GPS , I know have an accurate speed reading while trolling. I was out on the water today around the Hamilton harbour and Skyway bridge playing with trolling speeds. I can only get my boat to idle down to 3mph, so taking a tip I heard hear I put a small bucket tied to a rope out the back and that got me down to about 2.4mph. I still think I am too fast, but being new to this type of fishing I thought I would ask the experts. Any advice would be appreciated , thanks. By the way what a beautiful day to be on the lake today.

Here is a birthday joke for you, a newfie goes to the circus and see's a man that says "step right up and have my elephant guess your age." Well the newfie doesn't believe this for a minute and watches a little girl walk up and ask the elephant " How old am I" , the elephant stomps ten times with his foot, " wow how did he know I was ten " says the little girl. Next a little boy asks " how old am I " , the elephant stomps 5 times, "how did he know I was 5 ! ". Well the newfie still not convinced asks the elephant " How old am I", the elephant quickly lets off three consecutive farts! The newfie in an astonished voice says "Now how in the world did that elephant know that I was FARTY TREE years old!" Happy birthday Misfish and hopefully many more to come.

I own a 2004 Legend 164 Express, it has been a great boat for me and I anticipate many years of service from it. I could be wrong but last I heard their rivet hulls were from Smoker Craft and the welded hulls were from Monark. But the dealer that replied earlier probably knows that a bit better than I do.

For anybody in the market there are a few fishing items up for auction in the Hamilton Spectators Auction. Items like , Shimano Symetre reels, pflueger rod reel combos, vexilar, aqua vu camera, scotty electric down rigger, Ice sheters, ice auger as well as others. You can see the items at " www.thespec.com" click on the auction section. Could be a chance at a deal.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A long time ago while fishing Nippissing with my older brother we saw a seagull get hit , water and feathers everywhere. The seagull rolled over and there was a big bite out of the side, my brother looked at me and said one word, "MUSKY". I will never forget seeing that.

Like others have said insurance is worth it for the liability aspect if not for the boat but I have to agree the rate seems a touch high.

I believe like said previously it is covered under the trespass to property act, C/O's being provincial officers have the authority to lay a charge under that act.

I am not positive but I believe that because you can go lake to lake without removing the boat from the water and transporting over land that you are fine. But like I said i am not a C/O .

Take it back it is supposed to be soft and moldalbe. It has probably been on the shelf for a while.

If I am not mistaken it has existed for a few years now and I believe it is meant to be pooled together for international promotion of the area. So for commercials and ads to attract Americans and the Japanese etc to the Falls as a tourist destination. Because it is not as if these hotels haven't already included advertising in the room rates they charge . Typical Canadian solution , We will just add a new tax!
