Nice healthy looking fish. Wtg.

Cooshade looks nice. I don’t think I’ll get a quick pop up one because they are pretty heavy. I have one now that’s just a roof. It’s good for sun but the rain comes in the sides. a new one has to have side flaps too. need comfy as my wife still goes and we tent it.

I’ve never used one. I guess it would be good if you had a tons of rocks and logs. probably hurts performance because of more drag.

I’ll try this one if I can’t find anything else. https://a.co/d/2Y3KKes

I have tried a few dining tents and I have to bend down to enter the door. anyone know of one with side flaps and tall entrance. this world famous one I have now is good except for the low entrance. https://www.fcsurplus.ca/shopping/products/15676-world-famous-lodge-screen-gazebos/

I wonder if you can get that boat near the stripers.

Game 7 coming up Sunday night. leafs played great in game 6. Mathew’s with a goal and he shoots five hole which is very interesting as the leafs scored many goals just above the pads at the start of the series. I think he saw the goalie was leaving five hole open to take away the above pad opening. go leafs go.

That’s looks better on a woman.

For your boat Id like at least a 3500lb towing capacity. hills and launches. High winds. People and gear. Will blow the engine or trans out of smaller vehicles.

You wouldn’t believe the fish these guys catch. great picture

I’ve never seen the gold ones with the quick adjust before. They only had two or I would have got four of those. You just pull to the side and tilt. I think I’ll put them on my side.

I wanted some more rod holders so I got four but they didn’t have a base. I remembered Misfish saying to try metal supermarket so I ordered there. They cut to the lengths I needed. I got 2 at 1/4”x3” 8” long and I got 4”sq and 3/8” thick to make the hard to find big Jon Downrigger base. They can mount offset so they clear my Bimini when stowed.

I’m going to try to make it to the perch fest. then maybe small lake for lake trout. then Erie for eyes. st Clair for Muskie. GB for salmon and rainbow. Then small lake north for whatever bites. that’s all I have so far. I’ve bought a bunch of gear. Hope to get a second boat too.

Makes you wonder what people did before all the gear was invented. lol.

I’m planning on Only 2 people casting and three people trolling. the main thing I was thinking about was if I need a kicker in any of my trolling presentations.

All good info thanks. part of the problem is I fish for so many different species perch, bass, pickerel, pike, crappie, Muskie, lake trout, rainbow trout ,salmon and brook trout. having the right gear for all of it is a challenge. hopefully I can find a boat I like.

Your 90hp will get down to 2.2 mph. That’s good to know. it would be nice to get slow enough without a drift sock.

I’m thinking about getting an another boat. 16’ to 19’ without a kicker. 75 hp to 90hp main. low rpm cruise speed about 20mph. I’m not concerned about top end. trolling for three people but also good for casting. Will the main engine troll at 1.8mph? or maybe I set up the bow mount for trolling less then 2.5mph. any thoughts?

The lakes aren’t managed properly. did you catch any nice perch ?or other fish you can eat?

Is there a tackle swap in Barrie?

I’m at the point where if it’s entertaining I watch it and they have some talent right now.

Leafs made some trades. New players should be in the lineup tonight. go leafs go. am I the only one watching? misfish you there? Put your jersey on.

I guess they haven’t got a fish finder that works in weeds yet. the resort should have a lot of fishing spots figured out by now.

And just stay out fishing until the wind blows you to shore. I’d do it but I can’t eat fish 3 meals a day 7days a week. I need the odd seal in there.

By the look of the forecast cold weather ain’t going to happen. It takes some real cold to freeze that much slush and snow.
