My parents put me in Hockey and baseball and boy scouts and ... and ... till I was Twelve and I found out I could get on my bike and go do whatever the heck I wanted without a bunch of coaches and leaders barking orders at me ... best times of my life !
If I have a choice .. I choose free will ......... being able to make my own decisions has been a very important factor in my life ! !
I've fished the ARGO ! ! ! Many ocassions ! Yes it is AWESOME to drive to the boat launch and fish all day ! then drive straight home .. The New Argos have a Very powerfull motor setup but I have found the the Argo Will Still sink in bad conditions ! They are very slow in the Water and realistically you need a trolling motor bracket on the back .. The argo Will travel thru the water with control but a good wind and your heading for another shore ! The good thing is then you just Jump up on shore where you can and then drive home ! ! There are other options available to you ! ! .. I have found the Argo to be Very Rough riding although a very powerful pulling machine when it has tracks and cleats ! With the tracks it does VERY WELL in the snow and mud although spitting a track can be a Huge pain in the butt on the trail or in the mud ! On the ice is pretty easy ! YES the ARGO is a GREAT MACHINE .... But cost is cost !
Have you looked at the Wilcraft !
A boat in the summer .. an atv to carry 600 lb payload inside on a carpet floor .. with a canopy which has several purposes but mostly to provide you with a sheltered area to fish inside of .. during the Winter months on the Ice .. it only weighs 475 lbs and Fits in a normal pick up .. You DON'T need a Helmut to drive it and is easily insured for ice travel ! Also has a Track attachment but provides a POSITRAC drive system in which the Snow provides no resistence to .. Contact me Whenever and I'll come to your place and give you a no obligation showing of The WILCRAFT ! ! It is Classed as a small boat here in CANADA whereas the Argo is classed as an atv ! You have to where a Helmut in the Argo ! Fishing from the Wilcraft is very comfortable Summer and winter and the Canopy provides a perfect Ice fish hut ....
Just My Thoughts !
Call and we'll show you this toy .. It will help you to make the choice that best suits you !
I also Own an argo but I haven't started it in two years
I have Hit "just about" every takle shop in a two hour drive ! ! There'r all great cause their there... Everyime i go to bass Pro to fish for "Who Knows what" I walk out shaking my head saying I coulda spent an extra ten bucks at the local shop ! and got EXACTLY what I wanted .. So tht's what I do Now is I go on the search for Another bait shop that I've never been in ! ! The Splash the Wilcraft in Fresh to me waters and Learn ! Pretty cool that !

Just thought I'd Let you guys Know ! !
Again I go in the Hospital August 31st but With My Laptop I should be able to Keep in touch as well survive the Operation ! !
Thanks For Caring Guys ! !
I've had a FEW rough weeks Trying to Balance my self and the board isn't an easy one; But it was "Programmers" Decision to not Reset the switch as such .. I'm sure he will yet ...... All We can do is Hope ! ! But that is beyond My control !
As Far as My health ...Well that's Something I can do ..They tell me they want to remove the Vocal Chords completely They have to rebuild three layers of Throat equiptment .Remove the airpipe and turn it out at the bottom of my throat.. and seal the bottom of my mouth cavity . But the Swallowing pipe is most important ! After Skin Graphs and Learning of to make noise again with what is left as a throat ,somehow WE will be able to communicate ..right now E-mails or texts are prefered 905-955-2517 or [email protected]
I've set the operation to August 31st ;with a two week stay in the hospital after ...on average ! I am actually looking forward to this further step .. as Finally putting this behind me would be the best thing to EVER HAPPEN ! I feel confident about the Doctors abilities and My Own ability to fight thru it !
They felt I was strong enough to keep it together for radiation and chemo ! Then They said I was completely clear ... Now I'm Going back in again ! ! So For the record .. One more rollercoaster ride then I just wanna go fishing .
I'd say by the third week of September I'm sure to be able to say... I'm Home and sitting right here ! ! Possibly working again On the LSMB . These are my goals by the end of this Rollercoaster ride ! !
Thanks GBfisher for the Update from your "earlier reflection" hopefully Somebody can refelct the updates requested.
