Did LED submersible from Canadian tire this year.... They're great... Used to blow like a half dozen bulbs a year...

I put rod holders on the ceiling if my basement... All my rods lay nice and horizontal out of the way with zero worries about kids breaking em All my tackle goes on shelves

That's amazing!!!! I burn 30-50$ a day with my 16' 50hp set up... I do run around a lot though and troll 5mph most of the year...

Wouldn't have thought a big motor like tgat would get better milage then a kicker Speaks strongly about the motor

I gotta ask... Why would you not be using your kicker...? Is it just there for safety?

And if you want one in the bottom you get to dump the entire container out to get it...

Got another solid one today by accident... I'll post the pic when I get it from my cousin... And we got a 6-7 pound walleye with a 10" wide bite mark in it... Lmao!

The longer I get to fish by boat the better.... At this point i'm 99% sure I'll be in my boat during the Christmas holidays this year... Water it still 45 degrees today and 2 week forecast is warm..

We were Lindy Riggin some big fall walleye the other day with minnows... Dad put his rod down to open another cold beverage... When he turned back around his rod was going over the side of the boat... With cat like reflexes he grabbed it just in time and wouldn't you know it there was his new PB musky on the end of the line... No tape in the boat and didn't wanna do a vertical weigh on the boga grip so we will never know how big she "officially" was but it's probably the heaviest musky I've seen caught in person... Mike

What a giant! Can't get over that girth

Hardly noticed... Lol Me and the wifey woke up but we didn't even know we had an earthquake till we woke up and got on favebook...

No In fisherman did a show where they located schools and casted swimbaits at them... If I remember right they said it's not as effective bit a fun alternative to trolling...

We brought my cousins boat instead

Well this week was our second annual 3 day quinte trip.... We used to drive up for single days but after a few of those and some research I realized without a lot of help 1 day isn't enough time to ensure we find the active fish... Day 1 Started trolling east of the ferry along the south shore... Marked some big hooks and some small bait balls... We trolled down that show for a few hours without a bite so out comes the cell phone to beg a buddy who guides for any info he was willing to share... He told us 2 patterns and areas to try... And luckily I had the exact lure and color he was doing well on (can't say wich)... We tried the outside area and pattern he suggested with nothing but seeing one board bounce hard without a hookup.... There were a ton of fish in the area but they wouldn't rise up in the water column... So then we went inside from the ferry to the second area... We managed 2 small pike there and that was it... Day 2 With basically a flop on both areas we tried we went with the first area cause we knew there were lots of fish we just had to find high ones... So we headed way down adulphus reach to start working the fish we saw the day before... To our excitement the majority of the fish were 10-20 feet higher in the water... We were trolling 2.5 to cover water and find the schools... We marked 5-6 fish around 40' down so I slowed down an we connected with one of them... Didn't put it on the scale but we put here between 8-9 pounds... We trolled another 10 minutes then did a turn and headed for our waypoint and another rod fired HARD!!!! And we had our second walleye of the trip at 10.5 pounds.... The window was over but we stayed in that area grinding it out cause we had results... We got a sheepy mid day... The weather late in the day was amazing so we ended up doing some night fishing cause as some if you know I likes me night fishing... We managed 2 fish after dark wich I thought was pretty cool... One at 3lbs and another at 6lbs... We calked it a night at like 630pm and headed in... Day 3 Obviously after catching 4 walleye and a sheepy... And having fought on a few lure we were confident in our pattern... we headed back to the same area... We had no action until the mid day major window.... It was a tough day and we only managed a 5lb walleye and another sheepshead so we moved closer to the launch and picked up one last walleye at 10.5lbs... We packed up shortly after that to make sure we got home early enought to see the kiddos before bed... All in all we were happy with our adventure Sorry there wasn't more details to this report but I swore to secrecy on the advice I was given... The only pattern I hit on my own was a sheepy on a white TDD11 on 4 colors of Leadcore and the 8-9 pounder on a naked purple reef runner on 4 colors of Leadcore... The rest were a direct result of the help I recieved from Greg Amiel... He's so good he put us on fish over the phone from his house... We bounced info off him for 3 days and he helped us piece the puzzle together... He showed up on our third day and fished the area we were catching on and he boated a bunch of fish including a 12 pounder... If your ever looking far a great guide that's always dialed in look up Greg at "fishing 4 tails" Mike

I was able to put all the parts together fairly easily... Hub is back in... Everything is nice and tight Put her on the muffs and everything seams good Gunna go to the launch and make sure everything is fine under load...

Thanks for the drill press tip... Dad has one

This royal is just what I was looking for... Very happy Thanks everyone

I loved it there but if there is another boat or 2 booked we are screwed for parking... Looking at the royal Napanee Inn... $69 a night across from the A&W/gas station just off the 401

Hello Heading to quinte in the morning and looking for a hotel... Last year we stayed at twin peaks but the parking lot was tight for a truck and boat... Don't care about quality... Lower the price the better.... Just need 2 beds and a parking lot that'll handle a boat no problem... Hoping to stay in Napanee cause we have options for what ramp we drove too Thanks

Nice fishing boys I've been looking at getting some shadzillas.... They look great

I agree... This eliminates the BEST features of a pop up as well as a flip over... You'll lose your speed of a flip You'll lose the light weight easy transportation of a pop up All you gain is a bit of ice space.... And I guess now you have a perminant sled to haul your pop up around

I got the drive gear outta the bearing in the housing.... Haven't popped the bearings out yet... I'll try that after the kids are in bed... I've ordered all the parts... $257 to replace everything.... I'll be putting everything back together Thursday morning after my trip to quinte...

My brother says these are good... As long as your not doing much walking cause then they're too warm... He hunts ducks in December and January in them... 1600 gram boots... http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1803967&destination=%2Fmobile%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct.jsp%3FproductId%3D1973328%26type%3Dproduct%26No%3D0%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26searchPath%3D%252Fcatalog%252Fsearch%252F%253FN%253D%2526No%253D0%2526Ntk%253DAllProducts%2526Ntt%253DNeoprene%25252Bwaders%25252B%2526Ntx%253Dmode%25252Bmatchallpartial%2526WTpageType%253Dsearch%2526WTz_st%253D%2526WTz_stype%253DSP%2526infiniteScrollType%253Dproduct%2526nl%253Dtrue%2526recordsPerPage%253D18%2526search%253DSearch%2526searchTypeByFilter%253DTopRated%2526infiniteScrollType%253Dproduct%26Ntt%3DNeoprene%252Bwaders%252B
