  1. We did a lot better with distance than that when we ran the old 40 channel 27Mhz CB's, boat to boat or boat to a base , might want to check in to those.
  2. Lake Erie is wide open there Billy doesn't that put you at risk for a good dumping of lake effect snow
  3. ................... Vehicle and driver: $9.00 Each additional passenger: $4.75 Walk/Bike in per person: $4.75 Summer Sunset Special - Applies to entry after 6:00pm from April 1st to October 31st Maximum fee per vehicle $13.75 Off season per vehicle rates: Fifty Point - $9.00 December 1 to March 31 inclusive Christie Lake - $9.00 November 1 to March 31 inclusive ........................ should be $9 till the end of the month, then they get you $25 for the vehicle with 3 passengers. This is from the Hamilton Conservation Authority website. Actually you are paying entrance to the park and not the launch specifically. Forans Marina in town is still listing $120 for a season's pass, pretty good deal.
  4. Depends where you intend to run it in your spread on which rod you use. If I run 10 colours , it is always down the chute right over the main motor on a short 6'6" that was originally a light musky rod, like the short length in that position. The other leadcore rigs are 5 colours with mono backing, just prefer mono in a release clip over braid, they get run off homemade double planer boards, as is or with snap weights for more depth, I prefer longer 9 footers or more in that position, helps keep the line between the release and rod off the water and easier to manouver around the rigger or dipsy rods to net a fish at the back.
  5. Drifter explained exactly like a friends Crestliner cracked, the welds themselves are fine , they crack immmediately adjacent to the welds. This friend was also a multi ticketed maintenance welder at a Hamilton steel mill, excess heating of the material was his best guess at the cause.
  6. :clapping: thankyou for the real Fleetwood Mac, not that pop band with chics that followed
  7. Probably related to this guy
  8. 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.
  9. good thing too after spending 5 bills on a float reel and 7 on a custom rod
  10. 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.
  11. 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>
  12. ditto.... couple there , especially the first shot look like they may recently spawned out. BTW looks like you had a good day, nice fish
  13. 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.
  14. In my younger years Molson's Golden was an ale, somehow it is now a beer, what's up with that
  15. Wild Turkey and Coke is not a good mix
  16. 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.

  19. Don't know where you are fishing but the party looks like "Pottohawk Point"
  20. 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
