  1. Good luck to the OP but I have my doubts this Zebra has changed his stripes.Absolutly the biggest ----head I have ever dealt with.It was nasty weather when we were there and we had no choice but to fish in the bungalow because his "out" huts were not included in the package (he said they were when we booked)and were reserved for millianares and rock stars.I hope the op has a good time and doesn't get into a fist fight with the moron like the guys in the hut beside us did.
  2. Citica is the best value in the shimano line-up. IMO
  3. Much easier for the criminals to just hack into the white elephant gun registery than to troll fishing boards for someone to victomize. Hope you enjoy the 870.Hard to go wrong with the 870.Just picked up a 20gauge 870 for my daughter.
  4. I live in the Picton area and can tell you it is the one you don't want it to be.
  5. I have the legend 16 exterminator which is the same as the xgs but does not have the built in tank.I have a 50 hp 2 stroke on mine.It goes 30 mph on gps no matter the load.It has no problem pulling my kids on the 2 man tube.It has handled everything the Bay of Quinte has thrown at it but I need to pick my days on Lake Ontario.I use it alot and have had zero problems with it yet.I love my legend (4th summer) and have no regrets in the purchase.Most posts on here about buying a boat turn into bash Legend posts.You need to look at what you are looking for in a boat and talk to people who actually own the boats.Most people who bash Legends don't actually own one and are looking to justify there own boat purchase.For me the legend got me on the water with full waranty for the best value I could find.Legend may not be the right fit for you but don't discount them because of opinions from those who post without really knowing.If you have the money more hp is never a bad thing but the 50 gets the job done.Good luck with your purchase and if you have any questions about my boat you can pm me.
  6. Water levels are still way down.Some launches will be a no go for bigger boats.The ramp by the bridge is do-able but you have to back off the cement and there is a lip there.Check it out before you launch.
  7. Hey bigchev what shells did you find gave the best pattern?I've got some Rem-duplex 4x6 ,some strait 5 Rem. and some strait 6 Wins. to try.All in 3 inch.
  8. Yah they went to the double slide.I did alot of research.Probably looked at 200 reviews from "pros" and consumer reviews and didn't find many bad ones.I actualy found more bad reviews on the Winchester I have been using for the past 20 years.I was a little werry of a pump shotgun that you can buy with a 28" waterfoul barrel,a 24" turkey barrel (with fiber-optic sites),a riffled cantilever slug barrel,4 chokes and a cable trigger lock all in camo for $520.00 brand new.Also found out they are the only one to pass a military spec that requires 3000 trouble free shots in various conditions including being totaly imerssed in mud without cleaning.Figured I would give the 500 a go. Mossbergs ain't pretty or quiet but niether am I.
  9. Just bought a new mossburg 500 with a turkey barrel and choke.Hope to get out this week and pattern it.Bought three diferent loads hope one of them is "the one".
  10. Taking the most biodegradable supstance on earth and putting it in a plastic bag has never made sense to me.
  11. I took the wife and my 3 kids.Cost 54 dollars for a whole days entertainment for a family of 5.Can't really do much for that.Cheaper than taking them to a movie and much better to learn more about something REAL than the fantasy land of blue creatures. The kids really liked the dog trials.We took our own snacks so spent no money on food or drinks.The only complaint I have is for the some of the vendors.When the show says it closes at 6:00pm you shouldn't be packing all your stuff up at 4:00pm.I went to a vendor (who I think advertises on here so no names) to make a big purchase over $600.00 and they were too busy packing up to be bothered to sell to me.Really no a big deal as I can buy it somewere else but still if your open till 6pm it means 6pm. All in all a good day for us.
  12. Looked at the sattilite picture and its looking good but I haven't been up to check it out yet. Heres the link. http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/mod...on=o&page=1
  13. Killing them with bullets may be not the answer but as a hunter with friends who have a sheep farm I can tell you that yotes learn real fast were they get shot at and were they don't.My friends lambs are much safer now than his anti-hunting nieghbors.
  14. I think Skevys is open at 6am.Give him a call 1(613)969-1035 just to make sure.
  15. About 4 hrs is all i get out of mine sitting on the ice.Try bringing a piece of 1"styrafom for it to sit on.It will last a little longer.
  16. Just ordered a 45 myself.Been using a vex fl8-se for a few years and loved it so we'll see how the 45 compares.
  17. Different strokes I guess. I went from the Lowrance to the Vex and would never go back. Lowrance works great on the boat so it still getts used the rest of the year. I actually have the Vex and Lowrance mounted side by side on the bow of my boat , you can see the difference in reaction time. Does the reaction time make a difference in the amount of fish caught?I doubt it.But I like the Vex better. The display is easier to see in the sun as well. This is just a opinion from a guy who has both. Do with it as you wish. Hate to turn this into another OFC flame fest.
  18. You can buy waxworms,mealworms and sometimes spikes at pet stores.
  19. Yah they are assembled in Canada from parts built all over.
  20. Flashers are the real deal when it comes to ice fishing.I have tried to use a lcd unit and can't stand the delay.Flashers are real time thats no bull!
  21. I love my vex but as stated any flasher is better than no flasher.
  22. The only people I have talked to that didn't like the Legend boats are people who don't own one.I've had mine for 3 years and have had 0 issues so far.I really like my 16 Exterminator with the 50 2-stroke.Does 30 mph on the gps with just me or my family of 5 in it.Yah the 75 opti would have been great but I wanted to get a good , brand new boat on the water for a reasonable price.I think you will be good with the 40 on the smaller boat but go with the biggest motor you can afford.Sure some other boats have more bells and whistles but the best bang for my buck was and still is a Legend.Some day when we win the lotto649 I will buy a Lund 2110 with a 225 opti but till then I'll fish the crap out of the Legend. Also , I bought mine from a dealer north of Kingston.They are great to deal with.I have only ever had to do routine maintence so I can't say how they are for repairs.
  23. Here on the bay in the last Quinte series bass tourney 4 of the teams in the top 10 had smaller boats under 115hp.The team that got second caught the fish that put them in second (5 pounder) just feet from the wiegh-in.Jump in and have fun.
  24. I will take an electric any day to clean 1 or 50 fish.Its faster and I waste less fish with a electric.The replacement blades are 10 bucks at bass-pro.I've used mine for over 2 years and am still on the original blades. My 2 cents.
