Re: Garmin map for depth shading

I checked again on my unit. There are actually many lakes (and the St-Lawrence River) that supports depth shading. Even for the Ottawa River, depth shading is supported downstream of Hawkesbury (but not upstream!). Unfortunately for me it doesn't work for my fishing section of the river. It's strang...

Garmin map for depth shading

Hi. My Garmin echomap ultra 126sv comes with preloaded maps (Bluechart and LakeVü). I mainly fish in the Ottawa River and smaller lakes near Ottawa. The preloaded maps shows the detail contours properly, but depth shading (coloring a range of depths) does not work. I have updated the software but it...

Re: boat ownership search

It's a 2013 Lund 1775 Impact with a 115 and a 9.9 on separate control boxes. With a few more upgrades (fishfinders, electric trolling motor, and possibly downriggers), it will be my dream fishing boat. I hope one day I will catch the giants you and others are catching on the great lakes :-) Thanks f...

Re: boat ownership search

I ended up buying a boat from another person in Quebec. FYI, I was able to use the RDPRM site to search the credit history of the seller. I had to use the French version of the website however. The English version does not show the link to do the search! For anyone selling a boat, I suggest going to...

Re: boat ownership search

Thank you Jim. Based on your information, I searched and found a few sites that may be useful to others. To search for stolen properties in Canada (including vehicles, boats, etc): https://www.cpic-cipc.ca/index-eng.htm I haven't figured out how it is done yet, but to search for liens in Quebec: htt...

boat ownership search

Bought my current boat from a dealership (many years ago) so the process was simple. Now I am looking to upgrade to a newer boat. Anyone know how to verify the ownership, and any liens against the boat? I understand there is a pleasure craft license but apparently it is not an ownership/title docume...

First time dock/cottage owner

We bought a waterfront cottage earlier this year. It is in a protected bay on the Ottawa River. I have a few questions now that winter is coming. I have a 4 stroke 75HP Honda outboard. The shoreline is very shallow and mucky, so for mooring I usually till the outboard up until it is just out of the ...

Re: Ontario resident with Quebec cottage?

As for the powerboat fees, according to Val-Des-Mont's boating guide (http://www.val-des-monts.net/upload/newsPosts/92/file_safe-boating-guide.pdf), a municipal tax bill can be used as proof of residence. I guess I need to confirm with the municipal office just to be sure. The municipal official at...

Yes, the fishing licensing reg mentioned the 183 days residency requirement.

Ontario resident with Quebec cottage?

I searched online but I can't seem to find the answers. I will call around if I can't find the answers here. I am an Ontario resident. If I buy a cottage in Quebec, do I still need to pay the non-resident rate for the fishing license? I also just found out that there is a powerboat fees for fishing ...

Calabogie boat launch

Anyone knows where the public boat launch is? Is it in the Barnet Park? Does it have a washroom (for the ladies)?
Saw Bob Izumi's video and hopefully get some of that actions there.
Thanks.

Quebec catch limit?

Looking at the catch limit table (English version) for a Quebec zone, say zone 10, what does it mean when it shows a number follow by "in all"? For example, the catch limit for bass is "6 in all", while the catch limit for lake whitefish is "5". Is "in all" eq...
