The guy sounds like he had one too many coffees for sure. You didnt happen to get a GPS position while you were sitting there getting berated by the guy did you? (just to make sure we dont accidently drift past the place

Wow! Nice!

I agree with the bunch that say put the max rated motor on the boat. I am thinking you will be underwelmed by a 25 on that boat.

I agree. It sounds like a fuel problem. How old is the gas tank? How old is the fuel hose?

Its way too soon to even think about abandoning your motor. Any good outboard mechanic should be able to tell you with an hour's labour or less whats wrong with your motor given what you are describing. What you are describing could be as simple as a dirty carb. You should get it looked into before ...

The map at http://fish-hawk.net/hawktalk/viewtopic.php?t=19069 is a pretty accurate place to start. If you can get out and around Green Island (across from the park) its usually pretty good around there for bass. I think you can rent boats at Marina in town. If you get bored with bassing there is a ...

I refinished the interior of a 15' Springbok this year. Basically if the existing carpet is fixed to the the underside of the flooring in the boat you should lift the flooring, remove the old stuff, replace anything that looks dodgey and then recarpet and replace the flooring.

Those things are in the Tay River up by Christie Lake too. I always thought they were just huge minnows. Fun to catch on a light flyrod.

There were a few holes and pieces of loose mat and stuff on the downslope where other folks had obviously done battle tho. The gravel on the downslope IS a bit sandy and loose and...

I too am interested in what you have to offer Float. Why not use this forum?

No one has mentioned the minefields yet, nor the huge crevasses in the glaciers on the approach ...

Depends on the lake and oftimes you can throw the whole tackle box at them and still go home fishless :-) I agree with the long leader suggestion from almontefisher and I might go as far as suggesting to not use swivels or anything else on the end of the line except the lure if you are going to go b...

After some digging and phoning the twp and some more digging I found a page listed as "Boat Launches - Tay Region": see http://www.lanarkcountytourism.ca/PageFactory.aspx?PageID=892 which gives details on how to get to public access launching for Otty Lake, Little Silver Lake, Christie Lak...

I would like to take my daughter fishing at Otty Lake but am unable to find any info on where to launch a small boat there (preferrably on South shore.) Anyone been there who could/would provide access info?

Thanks
