Lots of good insight here guys...ill have a look

Shes a 2 stroke...

Thanks for the input. Like myself, this motor is affraid of the doctor.

Hey guys,

I have a 20hp merc which has lately been giving me issues. When I pull the chord, sometimes it either snaps back, or I go to put some balls into it, and the cord stops me midway, hurting my elbow.

I've also noticed the power isn't always all there, although it "seems" to be idling fine.

I'm running new gas, with sea foam , and changed the plugs; same issues.

The issues are intermittent, but frequent....especially frequent is the lack of power issue...

I've heard idling, punks gas and plugs. Tried all except timing, but I don't know how the timing would just go out like this?

Any and all help would b great

I love fishing that area. It's a really hard fish , especially in the river itself. There r some bigguns around there...but waking them up can be hard. Nice walleye!

You've got that right Shaun, this big girl came from Katchawanooka which is one of the smallest lakes in the Kawarthas.

 

And I don't even fish for bass.

 

Largie fishing like a boss!!

You feeling better since the bees Lew?

Omg that kinda thing seems like the last thing to worry about...sure a bite here qnd there. Man u must have been so scared....im glad ur ok!

She makes for some good forage for certain species thats for sure

21 feet total front of tongue to back of motors longest point for me.........fits on an angle in a standard 2 car garage. Most 1 car garages are like 20ft long with an ~8ft opening......

Gloucester pool, (one of my choice fishing lakes) or Island lake at Orangeville-but is motor free, not sure on the regs for both this weekend, but there are pike. I may head to one of them if open this weekend.

Gloucester pool I will Definately agree is a beauty spot for monster "fish"(especially bass).....numbers At island lake are there, but trophy pike....Forage base ain't there for any Consistent bigguns'

I'd be in the lot at two or two and a quarter. Fair number for both of you.

That ensures the freshness stays locked In. You should all know this.

Ya normally I look at the prices at CT and laugh when it comes to fishing stuff.....I have also seen some pretty stellar blowouts on lures also so I always swing by and look when I go. Didnt know about the price match thing though....I guess Im gunna go in with my catalog from le baron and point out all the over priced husky jerks they've got....Still can't believe how cheap huskies are at le baron for the hj12-14

Also not impressed. Sail I like the most out of the mentioned, but I choose lebaron as the best as they almost always have the best price.

X2 on island lake

its just meh for anything other than ice fishing IMO.

I know gear isn't talked about her all that often but the truth is there are fisherman and there are enthusiasts. As stated before, people who buy higher end gear typically love how the product fishes as much as how exciting it is to catch a fish.

I would love to catch fish everytime out but if I don't, using the gear I love fishing with makes it enjoyable anyway.

Not everyone will understand it, but that is why there are different pricepoints for each type of angler.

You hit the nail on the head for me!

I enjoy every aspect of fishing including lures, gear, scenery to name a few. Sometimes for me half the excitement is trying out new gear, or even organizing my crap for that matter.....there is no reason an avid angler needs to go above say a curado, but I personally don't feel enthusiastic about using an old clunky 5 guide rod with a cement mixer reel....but my dad sure loved it! Lol

But damn, it can be a very costly sport/addiction!!!

I use a dobyns 704cb strictly for jerkbaits. Works great, the graphite model.

X2....for the price it's the best rod IMO. I had a champion 684cb also and its an incredible stick.

Merry christmas all!

what a awesome year it looks like you had! good job bud...

Bah not gunna happen....

Hey guys,

I have an appointment with bass pro to install my side/down imaging transducer and unit, only problem is they are backed up for another few weeks....

Anybody have a place they know that does installs? I don't want to do it myself, I'd rather get her done right professionally the first time less holes in transom etc

Thanks, and Toronto and surrounding would be a huge plus....

well done Max. Way to make us all jealous lol

Yeah, it's an ice fishing reel.

Although borderline mentally challenged............... Ryan is correct!! lol I joke I joke

that thing looks like its made of plastic...

Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, Michael Jordan IMO
