  1. Hey KawarthaAngler, Im also on Upper Buckhorn ( in the Kawartha Hideaway back bay area) and I have found it really tough to tell where the levels are. I'vebeen watching the Trent Waterway site which says that as of today we are 13 inches above average levels (included below), but it really didn't feel that much higher. Then my neighbour showed me some older photos of his dock...were definitely a foot above normal. Buckhorn Lake (Level Gauge) - Water Level (m) Date Current Average Min Max Jan 28 245.981 245.65 245.3 246.34
  2. Water levels are definitely higher then normal...not sure if as high as folks are saying ...Just grabbed todays waterlevel results for Buckhorn... .293 meters above average...it has been dropping over the last couple of days, but more rain coming tonight. Buckhorn Lake (Level Gauge) - Water Level (m) Date Current Average Min Max Jan 24 245.993 245.7 245.27 246.32
  3. Don't forget about Cabelas they usu ally have good stock Just up the 400 about 25 minutes then you can head back on the north side of Simcoe I live in Mississauga and have a place on Buckhorn and i take that route occasionally ....nice drive
  4. Winter tires real dont cost anything...here is my thinking. if your going to keep you car for 120k or more...your going to have to buy a set of new tires. Buying a set of winter tires at the beginning means you split the mileage over both sets of tire. So over 120k...go through 2 sets of all season tires or ...go through 1 set of all season, 1 set of winter tires. I recognize its more money up front...but for a small cost difference at the end, you'll have the benefit of winter tires...not to mention some insurance companies give you a small discount if you have winters.
  5. Aaron is always entertaining. I think its time for another 39 hours !!
  6. Chris and the guys at Shimano are fantastic. They know their stuff and stand behind the product. I've had a great experience with them clean and tuning reels. A couple of years ago, I tripped in the boat, had one of my Curados in my hand and I snapped the handle off at the shaft. Reel was only 6 months old but I broke it so had every expectation that there would be a cost to repair. Went into Shimano, told them exactly what happened...response was " it should not have broke" ...told them, Im a big guy and fell on a small reel....still " the shaft shouldn't have broke" ...no charge. Kinda felt guilty...but solidified me as a Shimano customer for life...I don't buy anything else.
  7. Don't forget about the trailer wheel wells. I have an 1875 Lund Impact which is a bit narrower then the Pro V and with the trailer I have exactly 3/4" of clearance on my 8ft garage doors.
  8. "Upon further inspection of the trailer, the officers discovered a chest freezer with a built-in compartment under a false bottom " "87 over the combined possession limit for Krueger and his spouse" Geez if this doesn't warrant a lifetime ban I cant image what would.
  9. found the article... http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/hundreds-of-employees-evacuated-as-fire-rips-through-shimano-factory-and-headquarters-in-japan-374394
  10. Hey Guys I have seen pictures of the "when did the ice go out on Chemong" sign in Bridgenorth...have tried to find it a couple times...but no luck. Anyone know exactly where it is? Thanks
  11. Polarized glasses are a huge benefit. Allows you to see into the water column rather then just surface reflection. Any good quality pair of polarized glasses will do...the wrap around type that block all light from coming in from the sides are best.
  12. thanks guys...appreciate the insight....looking forward to it.
  13. Hey guys I had a perch weekend on Simcoe booked with the boys this Saturday...first time for all of us. After the recent thaw and a warmer Saturday how safe will it be out there? Im booked with Mitchells in Beaverton. Thanks
  14. the app will notify you on an annual basis. It can be a bit misleading...ask you for the update...you may not notice that its charging your account the 17 bucks. I copied this from their app page.... Navionics+ is a one-year subscription. Download detailed maps by zooming in or from Menu>Download Map: Once mine expired I could see the maps but none of the contour details
