My son's iphone 4S resides at the bottom of the Grand River. I've broken rods and reels but have had them covered by warranty each time. Also lost a seat from my boat on the highway, I was in the middle lane and two transport trucks passed me on the outside lanes - updraft opened the seat and sent it flying. I now bungee strap them closed.

Is it a long shaft on a short transom? Seen the results of that before...

I have a Humminbird 718 - much better unit that those Piranhamax etc - in near new condition that I could part with, could put together a package for you if you were interested. Can rig up the transducer for you to be portable too. Send me a pm. Pete

This is my rig, 16' Legend Prosport with 30hp Honda tiller. I have been very happy with it. I love the layout, and it handles rough water pretty well. I added the seats, trolling motor etc. Pretty affordable, even new. I strongly suggest going with a 16 vs a 14 footer, it makes a world of difference.

Not sure of the dimensions of your garage, but this worked great for me: I built 2 storage lofts in the limited space above where the garage door is in open position - perfect for storing Rubbermaid containers with the xmas decorations, etc. I think they are 8'x8'. I also built a huge loft at the back of the garage - full width and around 8' deep. It's just high enough that the boat can tuck under it. I even use the space between the 2x10's to store fishing rods, ladders etc. Let me know if you would like to see pics. Pete

8lb seaguar does the trick for me.

Sorry, meant the Legend Tournament as Lew mentioned.

If you are still looking for more cranks for your collection, I posted a set of 8 really good ones for sale in the classifieds tonight. http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74594&st=0&p=853221

Muskie ones are incredible.

Ok, here's some more pics... Closeup of #5 Browning BAR 12G showing the shell size (2 3/4") Here's a belt that I am guessing is for shotgun shells - will be included with the A5 Hoping someone can tell me what these little guys are for: And here's a neat little collectors piece, a Daisy Target Special .177 air pistol This is a pretty amusing item, it was one of the lowest powered air pistols any made... but loved anyway. Even when working perfectly this puppy apparently had a tough time shooting thru a piece of paper!!!

#4 FEG shotgun has sold #8 Mossberg .22 has sold #1 Parker Hale.243, #2 Browning BAR 30-06, #7 Marlin .22 are sold pending payment and pickup. Still available: #3 Parker Hale/Midland 30-06 #5 Browning BAR A5 Light 12G #7 Winchester-Cooey .22 All reasonable offers will be considered!

Ah, well there you go. I saw possession, I saw license. P_L... Bought the wrong vowel from Vanna White! Thanks for the clarification guys.

Found the stamping on the barrel, the Browning BAR 12g takes 2 3/4" shells. Also found a few other goodies, including another gun - a Daisy .177 air pistol. Kind of neat - remember goofing around with it as a kid. Also looked thru all my mom's paperwork from the gun registry etc. She actually does have a PAL card! Possession only. Pics to follow.

What is the structure like where you will be trolling? If it's weedy, troll a big spinnerbait. If it's more open water/rocks etc. I would troll a 9" Grandma or a 10" Jake.

If I was to only have 10 lures with me... hmmm... Three twin 10's (natural/dark/bright) Three minnow baits, 8-10" (natural/dark/bright) One spinnerbait One glide bait One surface bait One big plastic Early season some smaller lures should also be in your box... 5-6" minnow baits... size 5/6 blades... I could probably put together a 10 lure package for you if you were interested. Pete

My 15 year old has asked me to also mention that trades for an iphone would also be welcomed... since I took him fishing and now it is at the bottom of the Grand River, I feel obligated to do so haha... Looking for a 4S/5/5C/5S either unlocked or locked to Koodo. thanks Pete

There is some sentimental hesitation on selling them, but I like fishing too much to take up another hobby... The prices above are only a guideline guys - considering all offers. If someone has a St. Croix Legend Tournament 9' Big Nasty muskie rod, a really nice bass rod/reel, a mid to high end sonar unit, Lakewoods muskie box, trade offers are also welcome.

Thanks again guys - I will take a look to see if it is stamped. If not, I will take it to the experts. On another note, I had the collection appraised today at Gagnon's and there were a few pleasant surprises. The Browning 30-06 turns out to be the crown jewel of the collection, as it is classed as a grade 2 - hard to find with the engravings and a few other details/features. It was appraised at $800-900 without the scope. The Parker Hale .243 and the Mossberg .22 were also sought after items that had some distinguishing features. The A5 and FEG shotguns were valued pretty much as expected. Several of the scopes also have some value, including the Leopold (not in pics), and the German made ones on the Browning 30-06 and on the Marlin. We ran out of time today, so I am going to bring them back so we can find out exactly what they are worth, but he strongly suggested selling them on their own as scopes tend to lose value when bundled. That being said, I will most likely keep them paired up just as my grandfather had them, unless someone does not really want them. Here's the numbers (not including scope values): 1) Parker Hale .243 Win. Cal. Bolt action rifle with sling, swivels, bipod, case - $500-600 2) Browning BAR 30-06 Semi-Automatic with sling, swivels, case - $800-900 3) Parker-Hale (Midland) 30-06 Bolt action with sling, swivels, bipod, case - $400-600 4) FEG Hungarian single trigger OU 12G shotgun with sling, recoil pad, case - $550-650 5) Browning BAR A5 12G Semi-Automatic shotgun with sling, recoil pad, case - $550-650 6) Winchester-Cooey Model 750 .22 - $125 7) Marlin Model 89C Micro Groove .22 - $200 8) Mossberg 42M-B .22 - $250 I appreciate the mods leaving this post here for the ‘discovery’ phase lol… but if need be please feel free to move it to the classifieds section. I will be considering all reasonable offers. All previous PM’s have been responded to. I would LOVE for somebody to just say they will take the whole collection… and a serious discount would be applied. Thanks again for all the help with figuring these out – the wealth of knowledge by the members of this site is incredible. All purchases will require a PAL, and shipping is an option. Pete

Based on the serial number, can anyone tell me if the Browning A5 is chambered for a 2.75 or 3 inch shells or is that something I would have to measure? A few people are wondering that too about the Hungarian made shotgun. Would I just measure the opening where the shells go in or...? thanks Pete

They are all registered to my mom, she went through a lot of hassle at the time of the gun registry to make sure everything was on the level. Which one of the .22s are you interested in?

No, no hunters at all in my family. I do have to thank him though for my love of fishing - spring perching and summer pike on Simcoe... Hooked me for life. He passed in 1985 when I was only 10 so never had the chance to show me hunting. I will most likely be selling the collection once I figure out exactly what they are worth, and educate myself on the legalities of selling them. I would assume that I couldn't just sell them to anyone? Anyone know all the requirements? Craig - thanks again, great info. Much appreciated! Pete

Man, that took some work!!! There are a few more items including another scope etc... but I will have to get pics of those later.

8) Mossberg .22 magnum bolt action rifle with Weaver scope

7) Marlin .22 Model 89C with case, 4x31 scope

6) Winchester/Cooey .22 Model 750, with case.
