i love it. grats

We got a 2006. Gas mileage doesn't seem too great. Tows my 16ft Lund no problem. However, like stated before, springs seem a bit soft

I didn't take a look, but from memory, I think mine are sewn in. Perhaps mine is an older model or I'm just wrong and should've thought of taking off the windows

I got the eskimo quickfish 3. After a season of use, the stitching on one of the anchoring points had became loose. Also one of the plastic windows have cracked. Other than these two issues. This hut has been fantastic!!! I have a clam 1 man flip over which I never use because of this hut. Aswell, last year during a VERY windy day, I went out with a group of buddies. One had a clam suitcase style, the other had a clam flip over style. The suitcase style one seem like it was going to take flight at any moment. The flipover one had to have both the front and back doors open so that wind could pass through and not push him off the hole. With my eskimo, it was well anchored and didn't budge. If I had to rate this hut, I would say 9/10.

My fall fishing report. Post downrigging for salmon. Sept After throwing myself into downrigging for salmon in the big lake, I threw myself into float fishing. I purchased a Kingpin as my first centerpin. I matched it with a 10ft convergence that I had laying around and used that for a bit until I got a streamside and borrowed a raven im8. On my first trip with the pin, I was able to land myself a brown. I was also quite happy to find out that my roe was able to catch fish! Albeit they are not large, atleast something was attracted to them. a little jack at night Sept 19 First real lake run rainbow in the river with a pin. Female coho that threw some dirt at me. Sept 26 First decent sized rainbow! Caught shortly after first light. I did try to get it on video with my iPhone but it was difficult to get good footage. Also caught a small little brown around noon that day. Sept 29 The guys decided to try something different. We headed out towards the lake and what great fun it was! I was able to land 4 that day. This fishing was just awesome. We were all standing out in the lake, drifting out. With the sun in our face, the glare on the water and the waves. At one point, the winds picked and the waves got larger. It was difficult to know where your float was. However, it was still fun - I still caught fish. The way I described it to the guys was like this, "I don't see my float..I don't see my float..I don't see my float..!!!!!!!!" *set the hook* "HAHHAHAHAHAHHAH fish on" One of the guys with a tank. Oct 9. After spending more than a month on the rivers. My boat was crying for me. I have never really targetted for fall bronze, Me and Kelfun thought we should give it a try. We headed to Simcoe in hopes of some smallies and jumbos, if the smallies didn't cooperate. We did see some 5lb+ smallies swimming around, but they didn't want to come play. However we did manage some other kinds of fish.... first fish of the day a big aggresive rockbass we did manage some decent perch Oct 23 Back to the rivers to see if I can manage some of those steelies. We did manage a nice fish but I'm too lazy to edit the picture to show publicly. November Not much fishing done,nothing really to show for it. Nov 23-24 Day 1 with youngone and LincolnG In search of eyes. I had two days off from work and I had previously talked to will about fishing for walleyes. He booked us a motel and got a buddy to come along. Although there was a storm watch, he wasn't going to allow for any backing out. In the morning as we head towards our destination, we saw 5-6 cars that fell into the ditch of the 401 because of icey/snowy conditions. Luckily we arrived unharmed. Although outside was cold, the action was hot! Between the 3 of us, we landed over 25 fish, with 3 over 10 lbs on the first day. I got the first walleye of the day release shot double headerrrrr Release video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieaBGU4aYUo Shimano and Loomis new pro staffer???? my final fish of the day final fish of the day, Lincoln's new PB, I think it was 12 lb 7oz *edit, it was 12lb7, not 11lb7* After a long day of hard work, we headed in for some grub Day 2 It wasn't as good as Day 1, but it was still a great day. We landed over half a dozen. It was great fun. Hopefully I'll have some of the success I had during this trip, next time. Dec 1 Hoping to repeat the success we had. youngone and I headed back in search of more walleyes. I had invited Linc a bit too late. He got my msg after we arrived there already. youngone was still in search of breaking the 10lb mark. It didn't happen today... maybe next time. On first cast, before the net was ready, before I had my lure on and before the cameras were ready, youngone hooks into one. but not too long after, I get into one myself. another one a couple by youngone releasing them after a photoshoot a video by me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQVJvKbyPGU&feature=channel_video_title That is all for now, I may head out one or two more times before I need to winterize the boat. Hope you guys enjoyed the pics and videos. Some photo credits do goto Linc, Will and Par.

Whatchu talkin' about? That brown I hooked into was jumping around and you thought it was something else.

Good job out there. I knew I should've went yesterday!

Hey lazlo! This is kevin from last wednesday. Nice fish there.

That was way cool. Gotta try that

28.5

Why not? You buy and sell in the classifieds several boats each year and they are all from the states???

I assume that is 1.9 water speed and not 1.9 gps?

Great pics

Depends. Some are already adjusted and recommends you to use your street shoes size

That's the first thing that popped in my mind when you said 115 on a 16 footer. If you can't get a go by the insurance company then I'd skip the deal. Or just go without the insurance....

gobies will eat the roe...

Awesome vessel there cliff. Only issue.. It's a tiller.

are you talking about these? it works fine for me.. doesn't become undone..?

the youtube videos fixed.. Victor.. yeah when?!?! i got the reel spooled up already! Thanks Lew... also it was great dealing with him. I ordered the socks in the afternoon and picked them up in the evening. Thanks Dan.. actually i'll make a shout in the original post. boy Roy.. its never too many! johnny.. its okay.. i'll be chasing some smallies, bows and eyes in the fall and then perch, slabs and whities in the winter to get my mind off those kings.. haha

i can't seem to make those two last posts to embed the videos in the thread.. can anyone help me?

heres one when i was fishing right before the thunderstorm rolled in.. caught this fish before i got shocked while reeling in the leadcore and ran back.. and victor i was using the ipilot to steer the boat, not checking my phone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1LJ9e9Hwtw&feature=channel_video_title I guess i could've tried to revive it in the water but my brother's gf was happy to get the fish.

since it seems that im allowed to only post one video per post... here is another one a fish that got away.. it was the toyota matrix that got away! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roReYVaNpzY&feature=channel_video_title

My summer of fishing. June 27 - July 3 Bassing all began at the start of the season at a small lake up north at a annual cottage trip with friends. Didn't produce many bass over 3 lbs but atleast there were a lot. dinner a cool shot my new boat a frog having a brew.. the cottage, we'll see you again next year! July 5.. A few days later, i joined young_one with kelfun fishing for largies early morning...we did well. Here are a few pics but young_one did post a report back then.. one of the first times kelfun really targeted for bass only i think.. now he's hooked! he already bought a ceanan and curado this year. July 7 I head back to my old stomping ground.. lake x.. in kawarthas.. trying out the livetarget frog and the berkley havoc baits, they worked well and landed me several fish. a few of my favourite bass baits.. a 19.5" for team 4 froggy fishing fun July 10 more fishing trying out the berkley havoc craw fatty having success on the pit boss and of course the senko type worms July 17 got out with board members kelfun and okuma sheffield it was okuma's first time really targeting for bass i think. definitely his first time going for top water and with good success. he's hooked! he had to run out and buy a curado, lol not many pics but i do have some good action from the go pro. however i didnt edit or upload them.. here were a couple of the largies.. July 23 family camping trip I only stayed for the day to fish. caught a bunch of largies on some new baits and a friend even caught a walleye on topwater. it was my best day of frog fishing yet.. morning topwater live target frog northam fishing buzzbait swim senko flappin' hog yum air lizard yum dinger by the gf pit boss!!!! i like to cut off a bit of the top so that it will be a bit more streamlined night time topwater there must be a reason why these frogs are always sold out.....just can't my finger on it... hmm.. and the topwater walleye.. July 27 it was a going to be a windy and hard day of fishing.... buzz bait in the morning pitboss at noon 30k winds in the afternoon the ikea bag as drift socks worked great.. just wished i had two. winds picked up so much, didn't even bother with the trolling motor. just drifted from one side of the lake to the other it was windy and the docks didn't look so great so we decided to pull out and head over to another lake. I got to use the hummer today, it is great for towing. lol it was a good decision to try out lake #2 as it yielded the best fish of the day compliments of kelfun here was a tiny bass caught on a tiny x rap in a tiny covered bay we found.. after 15 hours of fishing in all this wind, we were tired and ready to head home. we didn't even bother with the evening topwater bite. tough day of fishing because of the cold front. the previous day i did purchase some rod socks from a small local canadian business called cc rod socks(http://www.ccrodsocks.com/). they work just great. for $6-7 a piece, they are better priced than any other ones i've seen out there. i purchased 6 myself and would recommend them to any others. btw i found out about them from young_one. pictured below are the socks, with a couple of shimano ones and rapala cloth ones. July 30 I had the pleasure of attending the 2011 king of kings tightline shootout as an observer. it was a great learning experience for me to see how that tournament was ran and how to target for those kings. unfortunately for brent, the captain of the boat i was in, didn't land any kings. Landed just 1 bow, lost 1 screamer and lost one at boatside. no pictures from the fishing, i did try to get some video on go pro but that didn't happen.. lol because of this event, i knew i had to finally install the riggers on my boat so i can target some lake o fish. in addition, i knew i was missing some vital gear... August - salmon fishing. if some may recall, i posted on the board asking how i should install my riggers. after thinking about it for half a year, i decided to use a board. I was eager to downrig, so it didn't have as much support as i would like it to... the board is made of a 1 x 6 oak wood, spanning from gunwale to gunwale, being kept down by the bolted cleats Trip #1 On my first trip out, i went out solo with some equipment and knowledge. I was able to hook into a decent bow and get it to boat side but was it able to free itself because i was only using my small general purpose net... I figured I was missing a big net and a subtroll/fish hawk... Ran over to radio world because they were selling the fish hawk for 599 in the afternoon Installed it that evening Also grabbed a stowmaster from someone on another board. trip #2 another solo trip I beefed up my transom board by adding a post into the seat base and adding a 1/8" alumnium plate under the board at the cleat to the downrigger. Plenty sturdy now - i can even sit on it and use it as a bench. this was a more successful trip and i was actually able to land some fish solo with this new big net. a fish for team 4 Several trips...undated trolling along very annoying to see this...! didn't take many pics because i was fishing solo most of the time for the GOSD and didn't catch anything really notable. a pretty fat one foggy morning at the bluffs here is a video with my iphone on the day that i was sea sick for the first time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Bbuf6FUG0 i'm about done for trolling for kings this year but i'll probably still head out a few times for bows, browns and maybe some staging kings. i would like to thank a few guys here for getting me into big lake trolling... Shawn aka fishindevil for introducing me into trolling back at boq for eyes Dan aka Percher with introducing me to downrigging and giving me great tips and tricks! Ryan aka troutguy of www.wepoundemfishing.com for hooking me up with some awesome gear and tackle.. and great tips aswell. thanks guys I'll be sure to get ready to troll next year early for those kings and land me a tyee!

thanks for the report... i saw the video of you two running from the storm.. lol!
