Spring boating plans?

[tinbanger]

Just thinkin I should be calling the Marina and schedule a date to pick up the boat.

 

Thinking first week of April as our inaugral soft water fish is usually Orillia Perch Festival.

 

wondering what everyone was planning as thier first non ice fishing trip of 07?

I wonder what Glen (Greencoachdog) will be doing after his sweater is over and ,and off.

 

will the dinkers be gone? Glen we need to see some spring Bass

[PERCHER]

Early April it will be time to hit Lake Ontario for some bows.

[bpsbassman]

We have a Toonie Tournament scheduled for Buffalo Bass on April 15 and a Pike Tourney at Long Point for April 29. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Can't wait to get the new boat and motor out

[GbayGiant]

Clean the boat all up, get everything organized, sharpen hooks and head out to Georgian Bay May 1st for walleye and pike.

Me too!

I never really put my boat away. Around me there is always a river below a dam or great lake oriented fishing spot to go to. I just wait for winter warm ups. I haven't been out in a month with the cold, but Great Lakes Brown and Rainbow Trout are on my mind with the coming warmer temps. It is time.

Thinking the same thing Tinbanger, the Perch Festival. I/we have never been to Orillia for the festival as of up to just a few years ago we never had a boat, then for the past 4 years my son played rep basketball and every weekend was tied up going to tournaments. This year who knows? He has a part time job but at least my weekends will be open ...well except maybe for work

Crappie opener on the Tri-Lakes, April 28.

 

Now I just gotta figger how to get some time off work.

[Squid]

Lwr niagara this weekend!!

[Entropy]

I still have not put the moth balls in the boat .... not even done winterizing.

 

Oh well, first week of April and she comes out!!

 

that's only 4 weeks away.

 

We've got some warming up to do!

[Ron]

I got 2 more weekends planned for Ice fishing and then the boat is coming out of storage so I can install a new Lorance and a new Minn Kota on the bow.

 

For anyone interested, I will be having my old stuff up for sale. The graph is a Hummin Bird Matrix and the Bow mount is a Minn Kota Power drive. Just don't ask me the models of these, they are still on the boat in heated storage.

[Terry]

Well I (insert large sigh) am picking up my boat in a couple of weeks cleaning it up and selling it......(wipe away the tear)

then save up for a smaller boat for the smaller lakes I am now fishing more often............love that nitro.............

[LeXXington]

Then try for some spring Salmon and the .............. till fall

[Pigeontroller]

[ryanheritage]

gona gear up my boat this weekend.... I have a lilttle 14' lund with 15 honda 4stroke... I am gona transform it in the next little while, I have two big john electric dwnrgs, to add and a 2 live wells to build and add. then im gona put a floor in in and make it a two seater that I can set up quickly enough to go for salmon in lakeO and then head to the smaller lakes for the pik's and pike. I have so many gadgets that I have bought but never get around to adding to my boat..(normally as soon as I see it I gota fish). I am a little too excited the missus is calling me obsessed! Can't wait............. Can't wait.............Can't wait.

[Jigger]

I've got some modifications to do to the boat, probably start this weekend. New front and rear casting decks, carpet. After that, its lakers, pike, trout, whatever. PUMPED!

[irishfield]

Ron says he's gonna drill me enough holes tomorrow so I can get mine in and start it up.....

 

...pending that..first week in May will be my first outing in the boat for ice out Pike.

[Gerritt]

OK everyone,

 

Thanks for your interest in my Fish finder and trolling motor, but as i said in my post, I do not know the model numbers, lbs thrust and shaft length.

 

All I do know, is that they are in good shape, I am only replacing them because that is what came on the boat.

 

The Fish finder is a Matrix model, gps ready, I have it hooked up to my Garmin and it is handy. The reason for replacement is I have a Lowrance on the console and want to run the same on the Bow. The Minn Kota is just a touch too short for my liking, in fact I just bought a new foot control for it last Fall. I upgraded to a 75 lb thrust 24 volt with a built in transducer.

 

Both of these are only a couple of years old.

 

So please, don't send me anymore PM's until I get the info on them, thanks.....

Ron...go to bed..midnight comes early. LOL
