  1. Simon,is the "goon" all ice free now?

     

    I took these pics just minutes ago from my deck,it will be a couple days yet before I can do some trout soaking.

    The ice is doing a job on my allready broken dock,but it is on the list for this year along with a new deck at the lake.

  2. I came across OFC a little over a year ago,& I must say this is 1 of the most friendly & civil forums on the net.I don't post alot but check in at least once a day.

    I envy the fact that several of you have the chance to get together face to face on your get togethers.

    I actually met Simon(limeyangler) last weekend at the local CTC store.I recognised him & Jack from some of the excellent vids he has posted.I asked Jack if he knew he was famous.

    I feel I know some of the members here & would be proud to call them friends.

  3. I have a 10ft jon that I use my elec troller on,my battery is a Group 27 deep cycle.

    It is heavy but weight has not been an issue in the boat.I think weight is "the nature of the beast" when it comes to deep cycle batteries.

    I also haul this battery to my boat cache,I built a wooden box that holds it secure on the rack of my quad.

    The battery lasts all day,but I allways top up the charge when I get home.

    I think you will find a lighter battery may not last as long.

  4. I have found the best method to prime a pump is with a good suction pump,such as a guzzler.

    My last lake house had a deepwell pump with 2 lines,it doesn't take very much air to screw up the priming process.The suction pump primes your system rite from your well,when you get only water out the discharge you are good to go.

  5. Sorry,I can't help with your search that close to The GTA,but just by comparison,My parents have a 4 season lakeside home,3 br,fully finished basement,big garage,fully landscaped lot,new septic etc etc.Asking price $219,000.

    I guess living in NWO has some advantages. :thumbsup_anim:

  6. I'm all for limiting public access on remote northern lakes. The more the better.

     

    What would you rather have? A fish filled lake that takes a bit of effort and sweat to access or one that you can drive to that's fished out?

     

    Most of the lakes in question here are reserved for fly-in outfitters,the tourists stay for days,limiting out each day,eating their catch so they can go out & do it again the next day & take a limit home when they leave.

    The locals mostly go in 1 day at a time,they should have that right.These lake are on crown land & should be accessable to all.

    I have several lakes that I access by atv,they are far from fished out.

    You cannot compare these lakes with any in the heavily populated areas in southern Ont.
