I an getting myself a new boat. Just wondering what you guys in the know have to say. One consideration is a Princecraft 16' with a merc 50 4 stroke. http://www.princecraft.com/Content/en-US/p...day-DLX-SC.aspx The other is a Sylvan with either a 50 or 60 Yamaha 4 stroke (this is the less expensive one) http://www.sylvanmarine.com/showroom/ShowM...amp;seriesid=56 Im wondering about hull strength. I think the Sylvan is stronger. The princecraft has more floor space. Just looking for opinions, thoughts, ideas. Whatever I get will be a side console and a 4 stroke,

Nothing but sunshine in the forecast except for a slight chance of rain Saturday and Tuesday next week. Still early yet. Wer'e having a late thaw this year. One good thing is the Goulais ice is out so we don't have to be concerned with flooding this year. I gotta get to the rapids...you guys are giving me the bug

Nice fish. Is that Stokley creek or Haviland? Just taking a wild guess

Beats me about the depth, but I can't wait till breakup to go get the 5 pounders at Big Basswood

I don't know what the limits are right now, they have changed so much in the last little while, and I have never kept a bass

They don't care if it holds up in court. I know a guy that the CO was gunning for. He knew the guy was poaching, taking over his limit, etc. Opening day of pickerell, the guy had been out fishing and the CO comes for a visit. Chats with the guy about fishing and stuff for a while. Looks in the garbage and pulls out the hides. He counted over a limit. The guy says, well, other guys cleaned their fish here. He got charged with taking over the limit. The guy goes to court over it and gets off. But..the CO cost him a days pay to show up in court, and 5 hours drive and gas to fight it. PS I know the CO was right in this case

Umm,,how is spring breakup a "semi-annual" event

I just thought after I posted that...nothing illegal about catch and release after you have a limit is there?

If there are 3 guys in a boat, the limit is 5 each, and you have 14 fish, does anybody actually stop fishing?

This is the sport where you just gotta....Drive fast and turn left?

If the fish are all in one container, you gotta be able to tell which ones are yours. You can't fish off of somebody elses limit. We have teased each other about that for years. When I got my 5, I would put my rod down, put my feet up and say...well, I'm done

Whisky in a jar is about all I like, but I really like it. My son saw them in Detroit this winter. Kiss was here 2 summers ago for an outdoor concert. It was good.

yep, lots of snow,heck, theres that much on my front lawn I may go for another batch of them splake I posted this weekend

Naw..no problem...the woodworking sites are my real problem..I have this one pretty much under control

we have at least that much here too...it ain't ice-out yet

well, we don't do the stuff that gets new laws written, at least not enough of it

are you telling me that the OPP blocks spawning fish access to a creek?

typical southern Ontario crowd

We still get em decent up here. We have had better days (darn salmon) You gotta hit it right, but its only a 30 minute drive from home so we can try a few nights. We scoop em in the small rivers up here. Gotta have my spring feed of smelts

Hey Tom nice catch good to see you fishing wer'e still gonna have hard water for a while eh

Oh, by the way, they are all Splake. Nobody fishes em up here so they get big.

I live in a border town and I have mine. I snowmobile in Michigan a lot and it makes crossing easier. I need to get my nexus as well for fishing. We launch in Ontario and fish across the line in Michigan. A nexus card makes it easy when the coast guard wants to talk with you. I don't want the drivers licence. I been hearing they can be hacked for identity theft.

Great days. I had a fishing partner like that,,,she is still my fishing partner, but she's 22 now.

Hey Joe...doin good, its snowing in the Sault now. I sure hope we don't get the 6" they say we will be getting.
