  1. I’ve seen it several times now this fall on Pigeon. On mid lake humps. Multiple Bluegills splashing in a 3-4 ft area. Are they chasing bait or are they being chased 🤷🏻‍♂️
  2. Starting to use stabilized gas in the boat. Can’t seem to find Stabile Marine in stores. I’ve seen Star Tron sold at several reputable marinas. It make some big claims on the label. I take that with a grain of salt. We’ll see.
  3. Well, some disappointing news on the matter. Bought 90 litres of “premium ethanol fuel” at Curve Lake Fuels today at the marina. Tested it twice carefully using a syringe with 2cc well water and added 8 cc of the new fuel. Looks to have about 4-5% ethanol in it.
  4. Interesting. But is it quality gas otherwise?
  5. I see lots of bluegills around humps at the north end of the lake. I don’t target them unless I need some action for the grandkids. The eyes seem not to be on the weed edges any more. Tried trolling deeper with divers. Nada.
  6. Water was 78 F yesterday. Pretty heavy algae bloom. Not having any luck. I guess it’s chicken again for dinner.
  7. My son ( engineer) said he bought Shell premium today in Ottawa and tested it using a test tube. No ethanol. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  8. Sounds like premium. This was his reply Come test it. I have a tester.marina’s have this year exemption due to boats . Then i will have to sell the lesser expensive to me mid grade. A premium/ regular blend the other marinas are selling. No ethonal. What I’ve been told that guy you voted for bought a ethanol plant and needs $$. 10% in premium and 15% in regular which the land stations have all been selling this year. I’m sorry your confused. Maybe don’t vote for Trudeau next time. That’s where ther confusion/ corruption all begins.
  9. Messenged Curve Lake Fuels ( formerly Otter Fuels) at the waterfront at the Curve Lake Reserve. Asked about ethanol free fuel and can he prove it. Said yes. Said come and test it. He has a tester. The 3 roadside stations have no ethanol free fuel. Good to know. Wish I had known in the spring. 🫤
  10. No my friend. Main engine, graph, master switch and down riggers.
  11. Thanks Gents. I think I’ll pick up the larger 27M dual purpose Nautilus lead acid. I feel if I go to AGM, I might as well go lithium for not a lot more.
  12. Reading about dual purpose lead acid batteries Marine cranking amps 675. Better for electronics drain. Half the price of AGMs.
  13. After 15 yrs might be time to replace my 24M Deka starter battery. Since I got my Terrova with spotlock I use the Yammy 115 less to move around the weedbeds and with the Lowrance graph on for 3 hrs, I noticed the motor didn’t turn over as quick for the ride back to the dock. Can’t seem to find another Deka around. Are marine cranking batteries different than automotive batteries? Is this one any good? Rated fairly well.
  14. My muskie rod and reel ended up in the lake for 2min. Fortunately the cork handle kept it afloat. Is my reel ok or does it need some first aid? I'm not very good with opening up things with a lot of parts and springs. 🙄
