SNAG

Ya all the women in his family out fish him cause he is always on OFC.

Roy says he is already booked since last November.He will be in our neck of the woods next week so Roy will talk to him.Rumor has it Wayne will have to dock his boat at the cement plant with the canada steamship or he will have to pay for 2 boat slips custom made at Merlands.We will have to shuttle him out to his boat

GCD ya there is some scenery but some good shots of Wayne's wife holding up fish not Wayne though

Just like you Doug I went this summer with Roy while we were trolling for walleyes on the Larry and caught the SKUNK .Just like you we saw many 3 to 4 foot Sturgeon jumping. And during an ice fishing get together this winter with Roy and Marc ,Marc's son caught a little Sturgeon around 8 to 10lbs. I would pay big bucks to see you(GCD) outside ice fishing with -40 celcius wind chill.That would freeze your cotton candy ass fer sure Oh ya so whats it going to be Glen Montreal sturgeon or Quinte Wall-Ice. Mike

Is someone going to contact Wayne I know he wanted to be part of the organizing. Now If Shawn could cancel the motel unit at merlands and rent a cottage with Gerritt and Slowpoke and maybe Roy could bunk with these guys that would be 4 so far now I know DouG and Maybe CCMT so this could be a possible 5 or 6 people. Next step we need 8 guys to book the next cottage.Now lets get hog tied for November.

They say the Tuna and the Slamon you buy in a can now has high levels of Mercury this was on the CTV news this summer.Everything in moderation won't hurt you. MTP

Ouch to the dog Dan,thanks for the pics and like Cliff said At first I also thought it was snow in the last pic. MTP

Well nice to see a Tybo and Joey report its been awhile it looks like that house needs a shave. MTP

Nice reports and pics Scuro despite the lack of walleye it looks like you had a great time.Oh by the way how did the pink rapala X-Rap workout and I know something must have jumped on it .Nice pic of the sychronized smoking. The water temps are warm right now but the fishing will pick up soon. MTP

Glad to hear all worked out for the better.Sometimes its better to change even if you do get let go. I lost my job in 94 after 6 years service now that I look back it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Good Luck with the new Job MTP

TS I have been hearing this for 10 years.Now that Bombardier makes the new Evinrude E-Tech 2 stroke which has low emissions I woudn't count on it.I have heard alot of great things about these E-Techs. Time will tell. MTP

Basskicker those are not boring photos they are absolutely breathtaking pics thanks for posting these amazing pictures and the rock is on my list of places to visit. MTP

Stuntman try and buy a 16 foot boat or more believe me when it gets rough you will want the comfort and security of 16ft or more.If you buy a 14ft you will end up changing later. Mike

Hell just take Roy's boat he didn't get out once last year

Hey Shawn with a little organization I think we can coordinate the whole weekend better this time.We have time on our side this year.

Hey Geritt Cliff needs a partner.And you need 4 rod holders once you cross the Adolphus reach ferry a fisherman is aloud 2 rods each I hope your coming with the new boat. Mike

Glen the guy who designed that hat should be fired.If your real nice you may be allowed to fish in one of our Lunds In Quinte thats if you can handle the mild weather Its time to catch a big Wall-Ice In November.

Stuntman it depends on your budget.I have a Lund but its not fancy.Its a bare bones Aluminium 18.5ft with a 50 Honda 4 stroke with power trim and flat floor inserts.I bought a demo model almost new from the dealer low payments.I can tell you this boat is built solid you don't have to pay alot to own a Lund.It depends on what you want.I will add the live well and binimi top later. Good Luck with your purchase. MTP

Ya I knew that but they make a hell of a fuel eficeint 2 stroke the E-Tech. Me personally I like the quiet 4 stroke.I don't need the faster speed of a 2 stroke out of the hole

Glen Nice cat I like how the top fin is standing right up in all the pics MTP

What You Need to Know When Purchasing... AN ALUMINUM BOAT QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK... HULL STRENGTH How is the hull constructed? How is the transom assembled? # of bolts in the transom and what are they attached to? Is there extra protection (twin plating) where the boat takes the most abuse? Are the seams double riveted? SAFETY Does the boat have upright, level foam floatation? How wide is the 'footprint’™ of the boat (part of the hull in the water) - the wider this is the more stable the boat will be. WARRANTY What type of warranty is available? Specifically on the seams and plywood surfaces? VALUE What is the re-sale value like on this brand? Model? FISHABILITY What type of seats and seating arrangements are available? What type of livewell system is provided? Where are the livewells/baitwells (if applicable) located? Convenient? What is the glove box like? How roomy is it? Does the helm have room to mount electronics? MAINTENANCE What type of paint is used on the exterior of the boat? Can you get vinyl floor options for easy maintenance? INDUSTRY TERMS... BEAM Measurement of the widest part of the boat. Measured from the top of one gunwale to the other. GUNWALE The upper edge of the boat. LENGTH The total length of the boat. Generally measured from the tip of the bow across the top of the boat to the end of the transom. MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER This is the maximum horsepower that the boat has been rated for by the Canadian and the U.S. Coast Guard. FOOTPRINT A boat’s footprint is its width at the waterline. Make sure you check this feature out, the boat you are considering may have a wide beam but a very narrow footprint! TRANSOM This is the back end of the boat where the motor is mounted. HULL The hull is the structural framework of the boat. Make sure you ask about and understand the hull construction method. This will play a big role in determining the longevity and safety of your boat. Hope this helps its from the Lund Website. MTP

Mostly all motors today are all good since the evolution of the 4 stroke.I have a Honda but would not hesitate to buy other brands like Mercury ,evinrude or johnson.
