Yes Jacques I have seen that a few times throw the perch on the ice frozen solid bring them home put em in the sink and some come back to life.

So how long have you been feeding that one Poutine cheese

Now that was funny Dan thanks for the good read lol lol

I have had the same problem too many times .These days I push #2 for the french option its a pleasure for me having french as a second language.

Its nice too have a conversation with someone in my own province .The person on the other end of the line told me many english quebecers opt for the french option to avoid the confusing conversation overseas.

Enough is enough return the jobs to Canada

So how will it work no livewell Hope nothing will be dragged around on a chain.Perhaps a boat will hone in and take measurements or do you take a pic and go with the honour system.

WTG sounds like it will be a great tournament

Wow very nice Dan now is there anything else that boat may be missing besides a roof and a Microwave.

Mike

My deepest sympathies Lew.

Oh ya get the Rapala one I love mine funs on ac dc and 12 volt.

Problem with a regular knife is you are constantly sharpenning them not the case with the electric knives.

Does anyone know a good system for sharpenning regular knives that little thing from Rapala is no good?

Nice report boyz Can't come to fish with you guys just yet lots of renovations going on at home but February is looking good.

Congratulations!! I hope you have many hours of fun with it!! I agree with Wayne...wouldn't paint it, you'll only stress about future scratches etc...besides, it gives it character like the carpet in Cliff and I's boat hehe

You know Carole when I get to fish in your boat I will be barefoot

Sweet! Congrats on a new boat! Looks just like my boat "Tony" except yours looks much newer, deeper and nice. lol

I go out on Simcoe in my boat all the time (just check direction of wind and fish in appropriate spots). Managed to catch some really nice fish out of "Tony" and managed to pick up 3 motors for free. 2 of the motors needed minor repairs and the third was a loner that we were allowed to use all summer (6 hp yamaha). I also got a free fish finder (1985 LCR 2000) from my dad. Banged all the rivets with hammers on both sides simultaneously. Still leaks but I whatever. I also got a free trailer and put some fenders on it and painted it. I also got 2 deep cycle batteries and a 55 pound thrust motor guide bow mount electric for free. I also bought a cannon downrigger for $5 at a garage sale and it had a cannon ball on it as well. I also got a pail full of cannon balls (7 of them) for free. Wow a lot of alsos in that message. My point is that it doesn't cost much if you look around and ask people. You are very young, don't be afraid to ask for stuff. I am very greatful to all the people who donated stuff to me. I really like my boat (despite its small size, narrow beam, the leaks and the fact that it is not that stable). Those little boats can go places bigger boats cannot. Mike the Bass is ready to hit some shallow slop.

Just have the safety stuff with you and replace the wood in transom. I also repalced lots of the screws. I mad a casting platform up front and a platform for the electric as well. Have fun with it. I even made my own oars out of fenceboard but was later donated real ones.

It can be done really cheap.

My boat and trailer could only wish to look as nice as yours.

Hey Cudz is that a Thornes I had one of those used it for a couple of years after I sold my 16 foot fiberglass that is when I realised I want a tiller boat.

Hey Mike congrats on your first boat I had to wait until I was 35 to get my first boat.

Enjoy my friend please be safe and now we expect to see some big ones :Gonefishing

can you purchase live maggots in your area .You will have to keep them warm though.

I use both and prefer Stren Super Braid over power pro it seems to last longer I find power pro tends to become linty with age and does fade some what quicker than the Stren.

That said I recently tried P-Line braid and prefer that it is the easiest braid to tie knots.This spring I will be purchasind some more P-line braid.

I would not tow this from a snowmobile if you go too fast you will surely melt the plastic.

I have the same hut and I only tow it by hand.Buy a huge otter 2 ice fishing sled and throw it on top install the metal guides and you will have no issues.

I once towed a plastic ice fishing sled behind a pick up truck once and the friction melted the plastic full of holes but I managed to repair it

with some silicone.

Mike

Happy Birthday Marc I hope you are continuing to work out to make all those wrinkles go away

Nice teazer pics Cliff don't you people in southern Ontario have any snow.

It looks mild for you fisherman not humanly possible to do that here in Montreal.

Where's the report Solo????

MTP

My deepest sympathies.

Mike

Great report boys is that where I will end up fishing with you guys?

Will I need the Quebec licence or the Ontario Licence?

Tell Paul not to cut the fishes head off when taking pics

MTP

Mike a must in your box is the pink X-RAP.Just ask my boy he has caught bass,walleye,pike,perch,sunfishand lake trout with this lure.

Mike you will like that little Plano box its great when you go shore fishing nice and light when its full of lures.

I have one.

Now whats with the name change We all know you as Mike the bass fisher.

I'm not taking Mike out of my board name.

Merry Christmas Mike

Its slow here Kbec too

it heats a 2 man hut very well so much so I have to remove half of my floater suit.

Perhaps having a plastic floor makes a difference.Its a good bang for the buck.

Funny you post that I was looking at the same one this evening at CTC I also wondered if they are good machines.

There was a 10 inch 3hp jiffy also for $299.So tempting.

I wanted to lift it up to see how heavy it was but they had it tie wrapped to the shelf

When I do buy one it will be a model lighter than the Jiffy.

MTP

You get used to lots of snow when you live near Montreal don't know why I took so long to buy a snowblower

can't imagine life with out it.

Close to 3 feet of snow in my yard kind of early this year.
