Ah...my bad kicking frog....

As long as you don't stop between the one zone and you dock/ramp your ok... Like here... Perch is open year round on the NY side... So once perch closes here lots of guys cross to NY and target perch there... But you CAN NOT stop between the border and launch/dock... That's what I was told by the MNR anyways...

BTW He's not fighting it... The ticket is cheaper then a lawyer.... Off to the Ottawa for some musky... Have a good day fellas

Wow... I guess I'm gunna have to simplify a bit... How is buddy in a conoe without electronics supposed to know he's 20 feet over an invisible line???? And that invisible line has different rules on the other side... So he crosses the line by 20 feet not knowing and gets nailed for poaching walleye... And you dont think it would get overturned on court...? At least 9/10 boaters in my area probably couldn't tell you where the border is exactly... It's rediculus for authorities to expect this...

And for those that don't have a gps? Or have a gps that doesn't show provincial borders on the water.... I know he broke the law... He now knows he broke the law... The problem is the law... Like billy bob said... Erie borders changed their limits to be the same.... So why not get rid of the slots all around on the st.lawrence river... Or have a slot but make it the same...

Problem is... This IS the law... There's no grey area...other then not knowing where the border lies... So by going to court he MAY shed light on this stupid situation... And he has the money to take it pretty far...

My buddy just got charged by the Mnr for poaching because he crossed into Quebec with walleye in his live well outside the slot... But these fish were caught in ontario... And he would have been returning to Ontario with these fish... And Im in an area where USA Ontario and Quebec intersect... So if anglers follow all slots and regs just incase they wanna fish spots in different zones... They have a 5 inch slot they can keep fish in without being charged....15.5-20.5 inches... On a normal day most don't catch many that small... So basically in order to keep ANY walleye anglers will have to fish each zone at a time starting with USA(over 18") then Quebec (14.5-20.5) then Ontario ( no size limit)... And this is the same water body and the three zones intersect each other... And worst of all... The Quebec/Ontario border isn't shown on navionics... So most people don't really know where the line is... I think a far better set up on border waters would be to follow the rules according to your license... And where you launch from... That way there is less confusion amongst anglers... Luckily the way I do my daily run it's actually convenient for me to fish Quebec then Ontario... Or NY state then Ontario... Up/down river on one side then back to Ontario to head back the other way... And "I" am aware of these slots... However most are not aware of these little Bull rules and loads of anglers in my area follow Ontario regs on the Quebec side.... So pretty well most walleye anglers in my area are poachers according to these regs... All because there's 3 sets of rules for the same area... And im not talking a big area... I can do a couple minute drift and go through USA-Quebec-Ontario.... So depending on where you are in the drift you can keep different sizes of fish... But if you do... Chances are you cannot do the drift again because you'll be in possession of a fish outside the slot in one of the 3 zones... I find it hard to believe that those who make/enforce the rules can't see this and can't make it simpler like I said... Follow your regs based on licence and launch zone... If your fishing an Ontario Quebec border water you follow the regs according the the province you launch from and you need to posses a licence for the Provence you launch from... By the way... It was $325 For being 100 feet over a line in the water that isn't event show on navionics.... They sure aren't making things easy for new/casual anglers... Sorry my rant... Mike

But could I still get warranty work covered by the USA dealer... I'd imagine... Just have to bring it across... Like say an american bought a mercury from you... And had an issue... Can he bring it back into canada to you for warranty work...?

Nice smallies Larry.... They're so fat...lol

Transom mount... You can actually mount it on the bow on the gunnels... Then you have a compromise of tge two.... And they are light weight and very easy to carry

Considering it was in a tackle bag in the rain and not DUNKED under water... I thought water resistant should be able to handle that... As far as screen protection and shock protection... The otter box was great... I'm just letting you guys know it doesn't help against water at all...

Muuuusky....

So I just had to replace my iPhone due to water damage.... It was in my tackle bag... And I have the otter box defender case on my phone... Which is supposed to be water resistant... It rained for 10-20 minutes... That's it... So for any of you out there using one of these cases... Be aware they have pretty well zero protection against moisture... From now on my phone and wallet are going in a water tight container and put in boat storage.... Argh!!!! Mike

I just hang mine from my salty while I deal with the toothy critters...

nice catch... sounds like an awesome short trip

Well I decided to take a better look... I romped the hose from the water jacket... Pocked a wire in... Turns out it was a gob of grease from mechanics when I had all that work done.... She's spraying like a drunk on Saturday night....

The revo "SX" on tacklewarehouse site is 129.99 not 99.99 like the OP site... From what I saw anyways...

Thanks

Good for you... Makes life easy when date night can be done in the boat...lmao... Like me this weekend... Friday is my day to fish... Saturday is family day which will include fishing with the wife and son... And sunday is date night which includes supper by boat at a restaurant fishing and fireworks by boat...

No lefty!!!!!!! Jerks

I'm actually pretty good with most of my gear.. My 3 things I beat the poop out of are... My motor...(troll all day with main motor) My net...(because I haven't found the right one yet) My crankbaits... They can only handle so much... Rocks... Loads of walleye... The occasional musky...etc... I had one that I ended up tossing the other day... Almost no paint left... The lip was ground down from rubbing bottom... It was sinking(supposed to float)... And the hooks had been changed too many times to count... That one lure boated me probably 150+ walleyes... And a few musky... I couldn't even get it tuned... It just wouldn't run quite right anymore...

And rightfully so... But you shouldn't get hit with USA taxes... You get taxed based on your billing address... Like when I order something to a NY address and my billing address in Canadian... I pay no tax... Unless the customs officer decides to make me pay...
