PERCHER

Any time! Were are your pictures?

Great report Wayne.I only wish I could have summer vacations like that.Love the arial shots.

Ex Bronte Boy moved to Burlington.

Congrats Jen.Thats a nice looking goose.How about racoons my nieghbourhood is infested with the little masked bandits.

It wont help TYBO he is blinded by Evinrude .And everything else is junk especaily Mercs.

I will add my 2 cents.First the Merc 4 strokes are made by Yamaha.They have fuel injection were as some of the Hondas in the same horsepower range still use carbs.And as far as maintance goes I dont think 20.00 a year for an oil change and 10.00 worth of lower gear case oil is to much.I have had many outboards in my time and I will stick with my 4 stroke Merc.There is a reason why Mercury outboards are number on on the water.But this just my own opinion and I am not saying the other brands are inferer .I am just saying I own a Merc and have no complaints AT all.If I had to do it all over again I would choose Mercury again.

Nice report .Nice fish as well.

Bill it was a pleasure having you out today.I was really hoping to get you hooked up with a few reel burners.Maybe next time.Great day great company .Thanks Dan

Here is a great set up that wont break the bank.ROD Shimano convergance 7ft med action.REEL Shimano Sedona 2500rb.The reel has a dual drag system and for appx $69.00 this reel is super smooth and has a antireverse.The Shimano Convergance will run about $59.99,So for about $130.00 You will have great setup.Here are acouple links to these.Dan http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&hasJS=true http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&hasJS=true Read the reviews on those links as well.

I have one of the seven reqiyermontsd Ima from Canada .How aboot me Pete?Comon old Budddir.

Welcome.

If you think 7 feet is skinny your wacked.And that boat will handle 4 FOOTERS PLUS>

I agree when it comes to boats bigger is better specaily on large bodies of water.But its not always the length of the boat to take into consideration.Its hull depth and beam.There is NO reason why a 16ft boat with a deep hull and wide beam cant be used on the Great lakes.I own a Lund Classic 16ft with an 84" beam and a 50hp 4 stroke .This boat is used on lake Ontario for Salmon.This boat handles Lake Ontario with no problem at all.And as well a 4 stroke outboard will get the same or better fuel economy than an i/o of the same horsepower.Most 4 stroke outboards are fuel injected where as most i/o are carb.Some other problems may arise from a larger boat such as storage ,towing and being a little large for some of the smaller lakes.Just some food for thought.Dan

On Scotty manual riggers the crank handle on the rigger pulls out to increase the speed of retrieval by 2x.The handle pushes back in when lowering the ball.Look close at the picture on this link. http://www.scotty.com/marine/products/prod...anual/1080.html

Scotty retrieval is 2ft per crank with handles out or 1ft per crank handles in.

Cannon.Power shot a560.great quality pictures .Easy to use and a great price. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetai...=&langid=EN

Look at the Scotty line.I have them in manuals on my boat and my brother has them in electric on his.We both have not had a single problem.I would recomend them highly.

Mike thats not nice,Dont pick on slowpke.

Thats just sad.Some people are just sick.

When out fishing the Salmon Derby all I use is a 30.00 spring scale.It is cabable of 50lbs.During the derby I caught one that weighed 26lbs on my scale and when was offically wieghed it was 25.8lbs.Thats close enough for me.The only time I use a scale is on large fall Quinte Walleye and during the Salmon Derby.Salmon are hard to guess there weight and I dont want to take a Salmon from the Lake that will NOT be in the top 10.As far as the Big Quinte walleye I am just trying to beat my personal best as well as Mikethepikes.dan

Mike just use your bathroom scale.Get on get off get back on with your fish and then do the math....

Crying I dont think so.Laughing at you maybe.Call me later Captin chaos!

Cliff Febuary is icefishing time.Pete it looks like Saturday will be a go.And Sunday.Are you ready to be outfished!

I would right it off as a bad experince and never go back.As for the Lund now you have the right idea.

Now that was funny.All the Bozos seem to hang out at boat ramps for some reason.
