NAW

I started using Slow Death hooks this summer.

Caught lots of Bass on them. Not so lucky with the eyes though. That's not because of the hooks, that because I couldn't catch a walleye if my life depended on it!!!

I called Sandycove Marine, and they put me in contact with their boat recycling guy up in Honey Harbour.

Headin there on Saturday to get the parts I need.

Thanks again for the help.

I had to stop reading this halfway through. I'm at work, and I can't contain the laughter!!!

I'll save reading this until I get home this evening.

Thanks for starting my day right

It sure beats reading about panzies leaving the forum because they drive sunfires.

1" PVC is a good idea. However, my current design has some long unsupported sections, and I don't think the PVC would be rigid enough. I want this thing to be tough as nails..

Thanks for the ideas though, very much appreciaded.

Looks like a twisted coon orgy gone bad!

Silver Pike?? Last I read on here, there was controversy over the differences between a Grass Pike (on the list) and a silver pike. Also heard them called a Blue Pike.

Might be worth adding to the list.

Thanks for the tips.

I think there are some boat wreckers up off Hwy 11 around Orillia.

I think I'll head up there.

If I can't find anything, I like the idea of using the angle brackets you've shown there Sinker. Thanks for the pics.

My hunting partener has a simlar blind to what you've shown, and I'm trying to 1 up him

Thanks for the report.

Nice pics of your journeys.

I’m in the process of building a duck blind for my 14’ aluminum boat.

I will be bending a custom frame out of ¾” galvanized EMT. To connect the frame together I want to use pre-fab’d metal brackets. I was hoping to use the same brackets that most boat cover frames are made from.

I’m trying to find some old junker boats that I can use to salvage parts.

I need 8 “T” joints to assemble the frame. I also need 8 mounting brackets to mount the frame to the boat.

Does anyone know where I can find a few old boats to salvage parts from??

I heard there are a few boat wreckers in the area (Simcoe County).

I did a quick Google search but didn’t find anything.

Thanks,

Tightlines, and straight shootin

It's nice to get paid to help out others.

Congrets on the new job!

Do a quick google search on "2007 Impala LS towing capacity". All the results that come back says 1000 lbs for this vehicle.

It would appear i jumped the gun a little on that one. Sorry about questioning the info above.

I assumed a V6 Impala would be able to out tow my 4 cyl Golf. But it can't.. I bet it'l stop faster though..

Your Impala has 1000lbs towing capacity.....depending on your boat, trailer, gear, passengers etc, you could be ok.....here is a link that might help figure the GVWR and so on..

GVWR

You sure about that?? My 4 cyl Golf is ~1300 lbs towing cap.. It's half the car..

I personally tow a 14' tinner with a 15Hp motor behind my 4 banger VW Golf. It tows great.

It's not really the best in the winter (light car.. front wheel drive...), and for the long halls up north. But it works perfect for anything inside 300kms of travel distance.

My good friend drives an Impala, and he trailers a 16' aluminum w/ 40hp motor. It also pulls no problem. However, I get a little freaked out when he has to react quickly with such a big boat on the back of a car. He's been doing it for a long time with no issues.

You'l be just fine with the set up you suggested.

What was your job??

Are you lookin for someone to transport you and your canoe from the GTA up to the French River?? Then come back in two weeks, and take you back down to GTA?

That's gunna be expensive..

Invite someone with a car to come with you!

Show up about an hour before it gets dark for the night.

Look for Cudz, and Jdub, and follow them out (from a distance!)

Guaranteed Smallies

In all seriousness though, herd there's lots a bass around Georgina that you can sight fish for. Might be a good place to start if you don't have a sonar.

Good luck.

haahahahahah. That's great..

I'm not a cat person…. Even though I have owned several growing up.

If someone dropped off a sick cat at my house, and expected me to adopt it, and flip all the vet bills… Off to humane society we would go.... Someone out there will take care of it (spend $$$$$).

I could see how some cat lovers would take offense to using a sick cat as “Musky bait”. I kind of take offence to that too; we don’t want any Muskie’s getting sick out there!

Nice catch. Sounds like a ton of fun.

What depth where you fishing??

What does NF mean? heh...

Not sure if you're serious or not.

If you are.... NF means Not Fishing. (as in the post is not related to fishing). Others feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.. That just what I always thought it meant.

but look at the tourist dollars we would miss

And the $7 200 donated to the MNR!!

What bothers me the most is they are not spooked in the least.

Turkey hunting this spring, I saw more bears and coyotes then I did Turkeys!

And the bears where very bold. They would keep approaching me even after I stood up, waved my arms and made noise. So I let the 12 gauge make some noise! It’s a little louder than me

I think I’m going to get a bear tag this year, and go target them. I’ve only eaten bear once, in the form of sausage, and I really enjoyed it.

Nice rack on your Buck!

Good way to fill the freezer.

I like the shot placement How long was the shot??

PM sent

Be more then happy to quide ya for a 1/2 day.

Simcoe, Georgian Bay, or anywhere in between. (I prefer G-Bay myself)

That was posted a few months back. I only remember that because it was the first post I read on this forum.

It still makes me cringe to see is a second time!
