You got it!

Topraider-

You've got it right.

The Chatillons blow any consumer digital right out of the water.

That's why all the fisheries people I know use them. They are accurate AND dependable.

Always good for a laugh?;

A sight that is seen almost everywhere roadways and waterways meet: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/Cancatchbass/MOD2.jpg I always get a chuckle out of all the hardware hanging from the hydro and phone lines... anyone else? And for the nature lovers - that means you Wolfe :wink: , a couple of...

WOW!

Beautiful fish, Mike!

Now I can see why Ganman loves it down there. It's not just the scenery!

Sorry!

nofish- Sorry- no slam intended. The way your post read, I took it to mean the battery should be fully charged, then completely discharged before charging it again. It never dawned on me that it was a typo, and you meant to say than . Thanks for pointing out, lars, that nofish and I are on the same ...

Uh, no!

"it's better to always keep a battery charged then to completely
discharge it before charging it
especially if it's a gel battery"


Don't know where you got this info, but it's pure bunk (no offence, Bunk :wink: ).

Keep your battery fully charged- recharge ASAP after every use.

Yecch!!!

I am watching one of the lucky fellows that volunteered as a scrutineer for this event- he's in boat #5 (daRose or something like that). Head down to try and keep the driving rain from soaking him any more than he already is, while the angler fishes unsuccessfully - not a bite- for the better part o...

Here you go:

Follow these instructions and you can't go wrong! There are several advantages to running a transducer for your dash mounted electronics and LCD’S in the sump area of the boat. These include the added protection for the transducer and decreased drag on the hull, not to mention the fact that you do...

Report them!

Report that seller to the MNR!

It is your DUTY as an ethical angler.

They should not be in the business if they don't know what they have in their tanks. If they DO know, they should not be in business AND they should be prosecuted.

IJITS!

A guess...

Richie: Purely speculation, but I think it may be a question of overpopulation of this particular species. I remember a die-off similar to this (hit crappie) in the U.S. Same diagnosis- Columnaris- resulted in a drastic reduction in the crappie population, but didn't affect other species. The DNR co...

Well said, Dan.

Excellent post, Dan. I wonder how many Hawk-Talkers actively partcipate in programmes to improve the environment and assist in preserving our fisheries and wildlife? I mean- not just talk about the problems we face, but actively volunteer on a regular basis? Hats off to those that do. For those that...

Hmmmm...

I'd have to wonder why anyone would buy a Fenwick rod if they repeatedly break without just cause??? All well and good to get a replacement, but they shouldn't break in the first place, unless they're defective or have been severely abused. CCB- have used Shimano rods for 30 years and none broken ye...

Yep!

It's basically just a stainless U-Bolt. There will be nuts and possibly a backer plate inside the boat.

The hard part in some boats is just getting at the nuts...

Yep!

Right, Spinner:

It's Gander Mountain in the Salmon Run Mall. Can't miss it- the size of a Home Depot... :lol:

Dick's in the Mall is not worth even going to any more. GM put the squeeze on them and they are now more into fashionable sports clothing-not much at all for anglers and hunters...
