looks more like a blue whale to me.... first one ever to come out of gbay?!?!?!

LOL

i was going to buy a new rod, but 50lb is no good? the curado is no good either? just thought it would be perfect since power pro has 150 yards, and the curado fits 150yards of the 50lb line.

I did a search and saw a few guys had modified their boats. I have a 14 deep v lowe which im thinking of making a deck for on the front with a pedestal seat.. well, i would like to see what others have done to thier boats just to get some ideas and for you guys to show off your skills..!

I think im going to start taking up musky fishing. Don't have anything for musky yet, maybe a few big crankbaits.. probaby use the curado 201 with 50lb powerpro, but don't have a heavy rod... any cheap/good recommendations for a starter rod? under $100?

whats the diff with cable steering? sorry, never used a bow mount before... anyone want to sell me their's? thanks for the help!

I have a maxxum transom mount right now that i have at the back and sometimes hook up to the front with a home made bracket.. I'm thinking of picking up the MK power drive 40-55lb thurst one.. or power drive v2... any comments on them? and ALL powerdrives have the maximizer feature right? someone i may purchase from says his doesn not have the maximizer feature... or is it just because he doesnt know? and it appears his foot control is grey/black instead of the now standard black one? Please help. Kevin

awesome!!! go team 3 go!! great report..!

lol.. not much success from me.. but look at the team spirit!! GO TEAM 3 GO!

oh, for bait, i used size 8 glass ghost xrap and gulp minnows.

okay, went off to camp for two days. 2 hours drive from toronto. brought my boat along. heard this lake was infested with pike, friday = zero fish, sat = some fish, rock bass, perch, s/m and l/m bass, pike. made an adjustment, added a bracket to the bow to stick my transom mount trolling motor there, discovered that the 36inch on it is just dead on right, if any waves, the propeller on it will come out... looks like its time to shopping for a bow mount, anyone got one for sale? enough talk, here are some pics of a bit of everything. pretty big gut on the rock bass yup, i'm lipping the pike, i love neoprene gloves... i thought team three had a 19inch pike, but turned out to be 29? by hellfish, oh well... good night..

thanks for the report.. but that last pic is a BEAUTY!!! i LOVE it..

lol.. is that real..?

thanks for the report bernie. atleast your brother found out where they went. go get em!

if you think about it, thats more then $1/minute!!! i guess it is geared more toward the tourists

lol.. thats insane eh pat? i wonder how it works though as you need a habour license to use a motorized boat in the water around toronto waterfront.. ? they give you a temp. license?

hm.. this site.. a few classfieds, ebay to check out any deals.. that'd be about it...

no a/c will help, and closed windows will help too, but i think i heard opening the windows would be more gas saving then turning on the a/c

so, a month ago a friend suggest we go fishing with a bunch of friends, so i agreed and started to plan some things for it. supposely we had 8 guys going, then they all bailed out on me, and only 4 including myself were still going, so i invited my family to go aswell. 5am - wake up 6:40am - left house 7:25am - arrive at holland landing to some marinas which i found on some sites that said they do boat rentals, went to albert's marina, halfway haven, solider marina, some other ones, NONE had any!!! the reason one gave me was that it was too costly on insurance and not enough profit. 9:10- gave up on the search and headed to keswick, where i was prety sure harry had boat rentals, but wasn't sure if they were like the rest and stopped renting the boats. but this had nothng to do with me, i had my own boat, just that it couldn't fit all 7 in. paid $7 for the launch, got all ready for launch, set the boat into the water, but wait.. the boat won't go from the trailer, WHY?!??! holy mack!! i forgot to take the strap around the motor that i had for the transom saver off... :wallbash: as i figured that out while looking around, and did a quick turn to get back into the car, i smack my head right into the corner of the door, i stood there for a good 5 seconds not moving in pain :wallbash: . finally got the boat in and all is good, right? not qiute.. so with my family in my boat and the friends renting the boat. we head off to go into cooksbay. I go speeding off with my 20hp and they having the rental 9.9, i was wondering, still what took them that long. so i turn my head, and i see them floating around, i yell, "whats going?!?!?!" in response i get, " the motor is broken" oh please, so i ran back over to check it out, i ask him some things (neutral, in starting position, primed, hose plugged in, if they pumped the primer alot????), and he said all was in good order, so came to the conclusion that it was flooded. but after a bit of time, it still did not work. so i ended up towing them back, harry jumped on the boat and found the problem right away, the tank hose was loose. so great, problem solved!!! off we go again, but wait.. what?? the motor is only revving and not moving??? oh man.. this is getting very annoying, we once again head back to harrys, this time the motor was actually "broken", so they traded for another one to use. after that, finally we got to head out in the beating sun for some fishing! fished for a couple of hours with minnows, worms and me with cranks. notta, changed location, notta. damn! the sun was quite hot, so we head back to get some food and rest. but me and one friend head out while the others stayed at shore and he caught a little bass. finally some success, but on the berkley gulp.. great stuff. time to head back to pick up the others... back again with everyone at that spot and we catch a few different species at that spot, too bad no gps to mark it. mostly caught on the gulp stuff, perch, sunfish, big rock bass, cat fish and the oos largemouth that were put back right away. here are a few pics.... i was just taking a pic of that sky there, with the rays shinning through the clouds and i see this bass boat speeding by, thought it was a nice shot and took it. whatcha think?? a bud with his biggest legal catch of the day another bug with his biggest legal catch of the day my only contribution to the team for now.. lol.. i hope it doesn't stay long.. didn't hook into any pike, saddly. but overal good day on the water.

off to simcoe to break in the boat. going with family and friends, should be fun! wish me luck and less traffic guys!!

does anyone know if i can park the boat/trailer with my van on the campsite with me? is the boat launch there free? sorry for hi jacking the thread!! thanks a bunch.

i don't have a clue, but i heard there is some walleye and pike there. i will be camping there next weekend.

boy that went by fast. i didn't even get to see it.

lol.
