no fish? always next time! atleast you two had tonnes of fun!

don't worry cliff, you'll be changing boats soon enough. lol im on the third boat in 2 years, not including a canoe...

oh.. i called in this morning at 7, my order should be here within the 7days since i am doing the international air. i sure hope he's right.....

well.. i find it funny i have a 97 caravan which isnt worth much, towing my boat and the gps/sonar alone is worth as much as the van.. haha i think you know by that time that you should upgrade your vehicle!

assuming it took him 1 hr to get ready and finally leave the house.. lol.. i can count!

been around 2 hours.. where are ya lew

yikes.. that is called dedication or insanity! well, i think i might head out too :whistling:

got any space ?!?! lol

Nothing wrong with fishing in the snow.. only thing that would worry me is pulling the boat out of the water on the icey/snowy/slippery ramp..

no problem Lew! yikes.. i really want it in time for BOQ though... i guess i'll order it right now. hopefully it'll be here in time!

hmm.. i'm looking right at it http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&hasJS=true that is it.. right?

sounds good.. now debating if its worth getting the lowrance lcx-25c from them at $850 is a good enough deal to get and use it a couple times before storage. Or there will be better deals? thanks guys!

title says it all, i'm looking to get a gps/sonar, transom saver, a couple baits... on the site it said 3-7 business days. looking to get them and install before BOQ g2g.. thanks

So.. i'm eyeing this one for VHF http://radioworld.ca/product_info.php?products_id=542 and this these two for gps/sonar, the second is priced at that because they were meant to be warranty replacements but they are brand new. Does that mean they dont come with the transducer? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...ndexId=cat21448 http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...dexId=cat602012 So pretty much, I'd be getting these two things just in time for BOQ, use it maybe two or three times max before i need to put it away. IS it too good of a deal and i'll need it that much to justify the purchase? instead of maybe waiting out till next year? opinions please?

any brand in particular to stay away from or any you favour?

Thanks for your input Gerrit. Right now i have some old hummingbird fishfinder on the boat, I was thinking of getting a gps/radio(https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=283), which i can also use for ice fishing(cheaper option, which will probably make me stay closer, I doubt i'll be head too far out anyways, maybe when i do go out further, i'll do the below option.. lol) or i can get a new gps/sonar and a stationary radio and get a handheld for ice fishing(VERY expensive option! but new toys:D) kevin *oh wait, i just realized, the humingbird ff on my dash, i can stick that at the bow since my powerdrive has universal sonar... then i could get a sonar/gps and a radio... yikes.. B.O.A.T.

Just looking around the net and saw a handheld unit. So that got me thinking if I need one? I read this "You must have a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator's Certificate (ROC) to transmit on a VHF marine radio. Simply owning or listening to a VHF radio does not require a licence." from http://boating.ncf.ca/vhf.html I'm assuming it is true? For me, I don't think I will be in open water much. Might be heading out to Lake O next year actually. Would a handheld unit do? also on the site, it recommends a unit that has these; * Marine radio with DSC (transmits position/time if connected to a GPS via NMEA 0183) * 25-watt transmit power (5w if hand-held) * Switch for low-power 1-watt transmit * All legally-allowed International-Canadian-USA channels * 10 weather channels * Visible transmission indicator * Readable display, adjustable backlighting * 1-year warranty * Hand-held: rechargable NiMH battery is good, but Lithium lasts longer. * Hand-held: Battery charger, second battery Any opinions?

True true.. Atleast you got out to enjoy the beautiful day with Glen! in that beauty boat of your's too!

beauty day! too bad no fish. next time :Gonefishing: kevin

yes yes. I don't think I will be trolling, throwing out cranks and jigs mainly I think. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread. btw Gerrit, are you getting my PMs? haha kevin

Good to hear that all went well Shawn!

Congrats to Dave and Ken on a succesful siminar! good job good job!

It'll be fine Shawn, You're a big tough guy! Just take it easy and I'm sure you'll be back to tip top shape in no time, just in time for the g2g Best of luck Shawn! Take care, Kevin
