It was great to see ! Only few hundred yards from the inlaws cottage to boot. His brother had one on a few minutes later as big if not bigger but unfortunatly lost it at the boat ( drag too tight) Was a great opener even though we only had a few hours on the water . Tinbanger ( proud dad .. and bass...

Short detour off hwy 15 and only missed the last turn :lol: Met by the official greeter ( friendly golden retriever :) ) and picked up a few essentials , nice shop and friendly staff . May need to plan a bas...

Tinbanger was fitting with our old 15' springbok tinney banging across Simcoe ( even on what we call calm days )
The new ride doesn't bang anymore but the name remains.

Thanks Joco for organizing this. Didn't get much of a chance to chat with the other end of the table but sure was good to put some faces to names. Thanks for making me feel welcomed , wish I lived a bit closer. Anyone ever in the Barrie are let me know we could hook up for a fish on the big lake :D ...

My brother in law just had his boat stolen out of his driveway. They live on the east shore of Lake simcoe ( Beaverton area) Description 2001 Lund SSV16 - red 2003 (?) Honda 40 hp 4 stk tiller - power trim ezloader trailer - white 2 gas tnaks ,floor,nav lights Boat has heavy paint dmage (scratches) ...

Take the HWY 89 Exit east .Drive to the very end . Launching can be a bit tough ( bigger boats, east wind , no dock ) Parking may be a 5 minute walk . We launched a 15' boat numerous times over the past 3 years no problems. There is a marina just south that will charge $15 in /out if you have problems

Beautiful!!

Did they give you a breakdown of labour and parts ? 60 hr is a bit on the high side been paying $50 Remember your marine mechanic is your friend :D When we where running older motors ( 62? and late 80s model) I got to know the guys at a Boat shop in Orillia only too well. Fair price and above all yo...

DaveH Have only launched twice both on nice concrete ramps . This weekend will be on a gravel/sand launch in Orillia , but don't expect any issues . Will need to be a bit selective on ramps but it pulls well on the road .The new trailer/tires make it so that I hardly know there is a trailer back the...

Husky jerk - firetiger or minnow color . Depends on what baitfish are there ( perch/minnow)

Pike = Williams Wobbler ( red/white)
Perch = shiners
Bass= smoke tubes
Muskie = no friggen clue

If all else fails the trusty Mepps spinner ...for anything!

That 'NO FISHING' sign looks like something you could pick up at CTC
Maybe just a local trying to keep the place to him self

Gives me an idea ... I should put up a 'NO BOAT LAUNCHING ' sign up at my local launch
