[quote="Jamsers"]Sheldon is 100% on the money here! The Crucial is rumored to be a GL blank. It is considered Shimano`s top of the line. However at $150-$170 (I believe) I`d spend the extra $50 or so and get a GL3. I have one and love it! The Crucial was the high end rod but now Shimano ha...

I have a Triton TR 19 with a 175 Efi Merc on the back. It has a hydraulic jack plate,82lb thrust Motorguide digital with built in sonar, LMS 520c on the console, X65 and a Lowrance H2O on the bow. This baby is fast but it sure likes the gas, I have only driven it once this year because I am trying t...

May I suggest you take a look at the Eagle Fishmark 320. It has the bigger screen, very good detail and I have seen them listed for $199 brand new. They come with temp. and with a little tinkering they have amazing detail. I had one on my old boat and I was going to put one on my new one but I spent...

Hey BassSlapper, I live a few minutes away from there but I don't think I will have my boat ready by then. I just thought I would give you a heads up about up there this year. First off the limits are different between Quebec and Ontario until the 15th of June. You can't keep walleye over 40cm on th...

I'm real glad to hear your spirits are high Jim. That is the most important thing when going thru this. I will be one of the first ones to offer you a seat for a day of fishing(or chumming) :) . I really hope you feel up to coming up here to Deep River this summer for our big tourney. You were a hug...

I see this sort of thing all the time and the biggest problem is the lack of enforcement and penalties when someone is caught. It's not that the game wardens don't want to be out there. They are just terribly underfunded and no one in the government seems to care. They would rather spend a bunch of ...

Sorry it so long to respond, we launched out of Crystal beach so that must have been someone else. We did see another red Triton fishing real close to us. They were there 2 days in a row. I have a picture that has an aluminum boat in the background, is that you http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa2...

Hey Alumacraft I was there yesterday too. What boat were you in? I was there in a red Triton that you would have been able to see for a mile. We found the fishing slow yesterday too but Monday was amazing. My big fish for the trip was a 5lb 8oz hawg that was 22 inches. I'll post a pic after. This is...

I don't know if you have looked yet or not but on many boats there is a extra wire run to the bow just for this reason. I know my old Lowe had it and I have seen a few others too. It may be just inside the front plate or sometimes it is tucked back where the wires for the light is. Take a look and i...

I have to disagree with Trophy on a few of his comments. I fish for walleye in the spring and sometimes in the summer and I kept a grand total of 3 walleye for the table. I see alot of people who throw back smaller ones and I try to encourage people to let the big ones go if I see them with a HAWG. ...

I was speaking with someone from North Bay yesterday and he said there is still around 7-8 inches of ice. He said it's safe to go out he just suggested you leave the truck on shore. Apparently the fish are biting like crazy so hopefully you have a good time.

I don't fish in the park but I know quite a few guys who do. One of the biggest complaints I hear from them is that the lakes are getting pounded by the "Natives" because they can drive in there all year long and no one can enforce the LAWS on them :x . I think what the government has allo...

These are good products from Shimano but yes they are there entry level models. I know they are good sellers and my local shop sells lots of them and I don't know of any that have come back. If I were you I would see if you can pay the difference and upgrade to a Compre with a Sedona or a Sahara ree...

Ron, Unless you have a snowmobile or a good set of hiking boots I don't think you will get out. The river was still wide open yesterday and Muskrat has 2 inches of so-so ice in most places and that was before it got warm. There may be enough ice on some of the back lakes in Rolphton but you would ne...

I have always stored my batteries inside but this year when I took my boat in for service my dealer told me to top them up, fully charge them and remove the positive cables. I told him I always put them inside and he just said do whatever I prefer. Well I took them out but man they were a pain in th...
