I worked for the weedman for 3 years and sprayed poison ivy all the time around Owen Sound. If it is a big patch you may have to spray it a few times over the year to kill it all. They have a vine like root system and just shoot up. Round up works the best, poison ivy will just laugh at you with the orgainc stuff. Wear some rubber boots and long rubber gloves and wash everything after you are done. Spray as early in the season as you can. I have sprayed patches that were 2 feet high, had to spray it 2 years in a row to kill it all.

Voltage gauge is better then a trim gauge. When I trim I go by rpm and how the boat is running. I drive a lot of boats where I work. Water pressure gauge will tell you if your motor is pumping water, so you wont over heat it. Speedo,rpm,volt and water pressure gauges.

Will be a couple more weeks before boats get in. Need some more rain and strong south winds to break ice up and blow it out. Best to call Watson's Tackle house in owen sound.

Once the ice leaves, go out in the boat it wont be so easy. Guys are just comparing to what it used to be. It will never be like it used to be. Very little stocking and no bait. Little stocking means not many fish.

We use slimy grimy where I work and it works great. Just don't miss a spot when spraying it on or it will leave runs. Spose to be safe for the environment.

I have the elite 5 with gps and have used it this winter for ice fishing and has worked great for me. will mark a spilt shot above the minnow. I did not get the gold elite map card though. Did not have all the inland lakes that I fish. I have the great lakes and hotmaps card for the unit. This is probably the best gps/sonar you can buy for the money.

I'm using the green sufix 832 on one of ice fishing jigging rods. I like it over the power pro. Does seem to be smoother and does not lose its colour like power pro. Have had no break offs or digg ins on the reel either. Look forward to using it this summer also.

Don't follow close behind someone with them. Mine work well also.

Nice video, Even better that i'm in it.

I have been catch less fish but bigger. Don't seem to get much under 2 pounds. Largest today was 10 pounds. Did not fish deeper then 75ft.

minnows are not working as well now. Some days are better then others, have had to work for them for the most part this winter.

After you skin them, look when cutting the lateral line out the dark red meat. Find them there.

These will not hurt you, have not herd of many fish dieing from these. Northern lakes that have lake trout seem to have more on them and are still lots of lakers in these lakes I would be more worried about the tape worms found in the meat. I find tape worms in the dark meat on the lateral line under the skin when cutting it off, this year I have seen them on most lakers from lake joe. Have not seem any in the meat it self. no big deal just have to make sure you cook it well before eating.

I would like to go but I have a dentist appointment thursday. Can't cancel it. If you decide to leave thursday i'm in.

Had a fun time out there with ya. Was out again today and started to run into slush spots on the way back in. If we get this rain there calling for it will be a mess tommorow and friday.

Best job I ever had was guiding up by red lake for 3 summers. Get paid to fish and no where to spend your money.

Ice is good. Snow and slush is not. Tried to get my hut out friday, could not get it out. Spent 3 days this week packing down a trail, but thrusday night it snowed 2 feet on top of what we had. Slush everywhere. Will not be fun for ATV's. Going to be work for any machine to get out. Going to check tommorow and see if the slush is better and work on making a new trail, may be a lost cause with warm weather coming.

Hopefully someone on here found it and you get it back. Good luck.

Try car quest or a tire store they may be able to order some.

Going to be a tight fit backing into the garage. You will have about 3-4 inchs on both sides backing it in. I back our 18ft into a 9 ft door. Make sure you are straight backing up. Your overall length will be about 23-24 ft with the motor down.

Seen Some at walmart. Maybe check them out. UAP NAPA website says they have them also.

Walking will be tuff if you get off of a trail.

We are getting it here in Bracebridge. Over a foot of fresh stuff on the ground so far and still falling. Wont be good for the lakes here. Going to be hard going for any machine now.

As long as you are in a hut you are fine.
