I think she's tryin to tell you something.....

Thanks Dave. I'm done spending for now. Will see how it all works out and see what I have as overage for resale and maybe change out the adjustable rod holders with Bert's since they'll fit the tracks. Have 4 adjustables coming from Pursuit. Jamie...do you know what the adjustables are $ each from Anglers Outfitters? They are $79.99us from Pursuit.

Thanks Dave. Where are you guys buying Bert's stuff. They don't sell it online and the dealers they have listed have no mention of it on their websites. Unfortunate that my order is already in with Pursuit and as matter of fact....Mastercard security has already called today to make sure it was a ligit transaction since I never use my plastic... LOL

Yah they probably taste pretty good roasted over a burning tire Rizzo! LOL What a beauty report Joey and great seeing you both into some decent fish! I've gotta try that Niagara River this year...

That's just a composite drawing John. They are looking for $1000 deposits to reserve a boat for 2007.

Thanks Jamie. They are SO similar and looks like the same extrusion die is even being used for the tracks. Good to know...cause then I can probably assume components are swap-able.

Yes he does Roy and why I offered an apology in my original text. Unfortunately I just can't wait for it...

YEP...I may have spoke a tad tooooo soon ! LOL

Thanks !! Gee..I wonder who copied who..??? Guess I should have asked some more questions before throwing $2500us Pursuits way last night.

Yep...I think maybe Paul should call Montreal and see if they can get a group rate on the course....

Jamie...are those Pursuits or something VERY similar. End plugs are different and a bit more rounded on all the stuff.

Only if she's willing...

I was just asking!

Per the regs Brandon...illegal as soon as they pull that boat out of the water on the trailer and head for the weigh in. But that's not the only reg broken during Bass tourneys..but do we really want to go down that road again here?

Looks like they're doing the 18' 6 Tyee first. Figured they'd be doing the Pro-V or a new bass boat. Maybe just a trial run.... I still think it's a mistake! http://www.lundboats.ca/1850gl_tyee_07.html

So I've been mulling this over all winter and was trying not to drill holes in these beauty gunnels.. I was going to use the slide on rigger mounts from Lund for the narrower gunnels and Temagami Marine was going to cut/widen them to fit the pro trac and sport trac rails on my new boat. I was then going to put short "rails" on them for quick change of rigger or rod holder, for what we were fishing for at the time. But then many said they weren't the most secure thing in the world and who wants to lose a down rigger or multi-hundred dollar Muskie setup in the lake? That got me studying and thinking about every boat gunnel picture I saw here and elsewhere. I really liked the clean look of this one (Shaun Ricards) with Scotties for the smaller stuff and the Salties on the outside edge for Muskie..with a rigger mount in between and then realized that my trailering cover wouldn't fit then and if it did would get torn/worn on this kind of set up. I kept coming back to this shot I kept of Jef and how he uses his Salty as his net man and decided to just bit the bullet and go with tracks for about 4 feet at the rear of each gunnel. Enough to hold 2 riggers /side, a ball holder for each and rod holders OR a couple Muskie Rod holders with lots of room for handles between them and then a 2 or 3 foot rail further up to be my "net man" and for triple rod holders for when three guys are trolling BOQ with the planer mast for big 'eyes or St. Clair for Muskie. Since I have a trailer full of aluminum and the machinery...I was going to make some stuff up myself, but just don't have the time since this still doesn't look like an airplane. I know a few guys here mfg them as well and do beautiful work.....and I truly apologise to all of you..but for ease and simplicity I I went with the Traxtech/Pursuit system . Unsure of exact fitting on the boat so I also bought some extra track and inserts, so watch the classifieds in June for what I don't use. It will go up for sale or up for the next worthy auction. Pics of some of what I bought.. Tracks Inserts to make them smooth/steps when not in use Rigger swivel mounts Holder tubes for using the planner mast and downrigging Holders for Muskie trolling A couple of these so I can get bumpers where I need them on transient docks And thought I'd grab a couple of these (hand lining brackets)..thought I could mount a small propane BBQ out off the gunnel for "shore" lunch without going to shore. Thanks for reading..just one of those kid in a candy store posts that I had to share! Wayne

Another beauty report Tom....a wonderful part of the Province you live in without a doubt! As for sleep...it's overated! Especially before a fishing trip...

You tryin to change that motor into a Merc one piece at a time Bud? And like everyone else has said....you've got a keeper there Roy! Enjoy the new Lowrance...I hear Ron's an expert at install and he'll be down next weekend to put it on!

Gas station store etc right across from the Silver Lake PPark entrance. Motel/cottage place is next door just West of the gas station. Not sure if they'd be open this time of year... and can't think of the name so you could call them.......even though I go by there 1/2 a dozen times a year..for the last 45 years. The "motel" across from the sharbot Lake PPark hasn't looked open for the last dozen years.

Guess they'll have to head South....with all the snow on the golf courses right now..... Sorry Mike the Pike !! LOL

There are many guys here that are sure hoping so!!!!

My 115 Johnson 2 stroke on my Glastron idled at over 3mph. Two buckets out and two rigger balls in the water for extra drag just got us down to 1.8 to 2.1 mph.

Thanks for the beauty post SP ! Great fish and nice photos..
