Just a note Icefisherman on the price of the washers from the other side of the counter. I will guarantee that the dealer paid more than 2c for them. All these dinky little parts are expensive for a reason. The manufacturing cost is likely very low but when you consider how many people have to ship, handle, inventory, look up the part for the final sale it adds to the cost. At our shop selling these small pieces is actually a loss by the time the partsman looks it up and rings it through. Not complaining just adding a point of view.

Good report Mike. Amazing how fast a year goes by isn't it.

Loved your story Sugarpacket. Well done! And fish too!

Atta boy Glen.!! I thought you couldn't catch fish?

Way to go to track them down. You are absolutely right on how you learn. Even if the fish are biting in a regular spot I will go to a new or another fishing hole just to see if they bite there too. Nice catch Fellas!!

This situation is really very sad. What is happening now people in rural areas dont bother calling MNR anymore. They just shoot the bears, dig a hole, bury it and say nothing. Its the only way to control them in some areas. Its like the booze prohibition and untaxed smokes. May as well have the spring hunt, at least we get the tourist industry and the culling is controlled.

Glad to see someone finally caught something on one of those jigs Cliff. I will make some more for the next Lakair GTG.

Trap a few of those cute fuzzy things and let em' loose in Queens Park front yard.

Holy Moly !!!! You two are incredible. WTG

Wow is all I can say Sam! Well maybe a bit more. Wowee! Nice fish.

The colder you keep your battery the better. It slows down the chemical reaction. Thats why a cold battery puts out less energy. ONE MORE TIME!!! Cement floors do not affect modern batteries. Years ago batteries were made in a wooden case and the acid would sweat through into the concrete. The lime in concrete would then soak into the battery neutralizing the acid. Charged batteries do not freeze When a battery is dead the chemical reaction that takes place turns the acid to water and then it will freeze. The freezing action can harm the battery bending the plates and shorting them out.

I still like Colts

Id love to have one of those right now. Wouldn't need to wait for thick ice. Hey Wayne. Lets build a couple. Me with the boat building and you with the aircraft? If we get at it we may have them ready by next weekend!

Welcome along Nuf. Great place to hang out. Lots of knowledgeable members here.

South Bay of Nipissing is frozen over. If the long range holds true or close to it ice should be thick enough to get out to my cottage on a sled by Dec 8th.

Wow Brian, I'm jealous. It will be an incredible experience. Good for you. Have a great time dude!

I didn't Rick. I think the test may be different depending on what you enter to begin.

Havent seen this posted here before. I came across it surfing around and found it interesting. I apologize if its been on here in the past. http://fishiqtest.com I only scored 12 out of 20. I guess it's a passing grade lol .

Wayne. The limitation with just about any tracked vehicle like the Argo is the belly pan. Ground clearance is the key here. If there is more weight of the vehicle supported by the pan than the tracks you are stuck. Slush is the big enemy. God help you if you get one of these stuck in slush.

Dont know if Canadians see that Ad much Glen.....But thats funny!

Welcome to the board

Same thing happened to me with a motorcycle couple years back Meely. Sold the bike.. But in your case I believe insurance can be had for about a 1/4 of that. Shop around. I will talk to the guys at our shop on Monday and find out where they get their best deal. My sled is insured though my business/shop plan.

Edit -- Btw TMZ.COM, I still hate the nuisances that are other peoples kids I feel sorry for those who never get to understand the love of children. Family is the MOST important thing in life -Bar none!

Hes gone..Good stuff.

Sorry TJ...The devil made me do it. Go ahead-get me back, I can take it.
