Backroad Mapbooks - Eastern Ontario Fishing Mapbook

Would anyone know of West End gas stations or other locations that carry this book? Most of the big stores are out of stock or have a hefty cost to ship or their pickup ours don't work for me. Even better if someone had a copy that they wanted to part with. Reviews or thoughts would also be apprecia...

Fixing a hole in a boat

Without going into a long story my aluminum boat now has a small punched hole about the diameter of a pencil.

Is there any easy do-it-yourself fix that would work or should I take it to a professional and have it welded?

Re: Fish Finders

Fish Finders

I'm looking into getting a fish finder for the boat in the spring but I don't know much about them, I'm hoping that you folks can provide a rough overview of what to look for in a unit that will help me get my research started. What would be the best affordable (cheaper end) fish finder? What are th...

Re: Which Boat to Buy?

Saw the boat this weekend, boat looks great for what it is, motor looks brand new (1990 I believe) but the trailer is super rough. I'm going to do some work on it and see if I can get it rolling. I'm thinking that as long as the axle isn't completely seized it should be salvageable. Thank you everyo...

Re: Which Boat to Buy?

Thanks for the input everyone! I'll be seeing them this weekend, so after 5 years or so I might finally be getting my boat!

Now any hints and tips on operating one? :)

Which Boat to Buy?

I've found a great deal on two possible aluminum boats... And I don't know which one I should get. (note: haven't seen them in person yet) The first one is a 14 foot aluminum boat with a trailer and 8 horse Mariner outboard motor. The second is a 16 foot Springbok with split seat, with a 15 Yamaha, ...

Looking to Shorefish near Ottawa

Would anyone know any spots that aren't still completely flooded? I checked Britannia Beach last weekend and would have needed hip-waders to get to the end of the pier.

Hoping for friendly suggestions.

Thank you,
