Closer, I get some off the rocks behind the radio towers on the west end of Grimsby, there are 2 dead end roads that give access to the shoreline.

good thing too after spending 5 bills on a float reel and 7 on a custom rod

With my old Luhr Jensen L'IL Chief in the winter, I slide the original box with the top and bottom cut off down over the unit, the insulation of the cardboard helps with the temperature.

this seminar was recorded recently and posted on youtube, there is over a dozen parts, here is the first to get you started <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KqCaCgLkMFE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

ditto.... couple there , especially the first shot look like they may recently spawned out. BTW looks like you had a good day, nice fish

Yes, my Big John electrics from the early 80's were wired direct from the factory with 3 prong plugs, put an outdoor electric box wired to the battery with a fuse under the gunwale for power and converted the lighter type plug in on a spotlight and few other things to a 3 pronger for use in that box, seems the gent maybe did the same with the fish finder. At that time I ran a then new lowrance 1510c paper graph and a flasher unit from what I see nearly identical to yours, mostly for navigation and finding structure , believe mine had 2 scales 0-60 feet and if you pulled out the sensitivity knob it went 0 -120 or something, saved paper, that stuff added up pretty quick if you fished a lot.

In my younger years Molson's Golden was an ale, somehow it is now a beer, what's up with that

Wild Turkey and Coke is not a good mix

Used to go into Beanpole and the unnamed lake a few 100 yds portage to the south back when Dad had a cottage in Haliburton, bows in Beanpole and specs later splake in the other. I've read Gord used to fish those 2 a lot too. The only reason I recall that was Dad was a very proficient tournament caster in the 50's and Gord was always the man to beat, remember the name. A/B lakes I believe are in the same area from what I gather.

These were fun when I was younger, good way to finish a morning of bass fishin when down Long Point in July <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DaiXK6cZ2jg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Don't know where you are fishing but the party looks like "Pottohawk Point"

That is cool remeber lots of stuff made by GSW as a kid, pails, wash tubs, garbage cans, high quality galvanized metals containers. At work we painted a lot of steel coils that eventually ended up as wrappers for GSW hot water tanks. Nice piece of Candian Heritage

make that a 3 time winner

Have seen a lot of favourable comments on the Airmar P66 as a replacement when your original Lowrance transducer craps out http://www.airmartechnology.com/2009/products/marine-product.asp?prodid=48&manf=Furuno

ding ding ding we have a winner

What former Chicago Blackhawk Captain had a string of laundromats in Bill M's hometown ?

Wasn't the Gardiner Expressway either

Ditto, fished Haliburton lakers for a lot of years when my dad had a place there. Hands down the most effective rig off a rigger was a large Luhr Jensen " Dave Davis " gang troll with meat out the back. Get a baiting needle and a few dace or chubs, about 5 or 6 inchers, take 2 foot or so of 15 or 20 pound leader material with a good sized treble on the end, insert the needle just forward of the baits tail and out the mouth, draw the line so the hook is about flush with the tip of the tail, then the line out the mouth go down from the top of the mouth and out the bottom keeping the mouth closed, now adust so there is a slight bend in the body and when trolled will have a rolling action, tie to the back of the troll with a good swivel. We always had better luck on suspended fish just under the thermocline rather than the ones hanging out near bottom.

Billy Bob and I fish the same end of Erie, mostly suspended fish, Hot n Tot would dive about 10-12 feet when 75 foot back of a cannonball, good stealthy approach. Another lure that worked great eastern Erie was the metal lipped jointed Canadian Wiggler, often with a bit of worm on the front treble in fact it is all metal

The first plastic lipped lures I recall were the original Rapalas, late 50's, most lures that predate that were metal lipped, like Jitterbugs, Pikie Minnows, River Runts, probably cause there was no plastic when they were designed. Most of the metal lipped lures are old designs or based on old designs or so it seems to me

You've got a sound engine, I 'd be inclined to search for a nearly virgin "garage queen " of the vintage and style of craft you are looking for that needs a new engine, impellers and vro systems are not infallible or improper winterzation. Swap out the engines.
