I haven't had mine out yet. Some people have around here though and were out fishing before the walleye season closed. That rarely if ever happens here where you can go boating before the season ends. It opens again the third weekend in May after the fish have spawned. Normally, the ice is...

We should be out at camp for the long weekend. We recently set our campsite up with a huge floating dock we tie off to the shore when not in use. On a hot afternoon, we load up the dock with kids, adults, and lawnchairs and haul it out in the middle of the lake. The kids have a great time...

Hey everyone....haven't been here in a while since I sold my boat this spring(I know, I know....dumb move) at the time, I was supposed to be moving west to the prairies where I'd have to drive 4-5 hrs to find water deep enough to launch any kind of boat. Now, I'm staying put and have started...

Lucky guy. My boat's been stored for a month now. Lakes are close to freezup. Temps hovering around the freezing mark. Light dusting of snow on the ground.

How are they? Anyone here have any experience with them. I'm currently looking at a new prop for my 40hp 4 stroke Yamaha. I was considering a piranha prop but don't haven't really heard of anyone using them around here.

I spent the entire labour day weekend out boating, camping, and fishing. Only a couple more smaller outings planned for this season then it'll be time to store the boat for the winter. Last weekend at camp planned for this weekend before I haul the trailer out and start getting it ready for...

I've never tried one but I've seen them used from time to time around here. Some of the long distance highway truck drivers often stop at the bridges near town while passing through and use them to fish from. Actually, a few years ago, I was on the lake approaching a bridge when I noticed...

yup.....my old 1985 60hp mariner on my old boat would have gone through a full tank going that distance...

Doc...your weekend sounds like mine.(even the weather) It rained like crazy on friday and saturday but we were still out at camp to watch a couple movies and sleep. I didn't even put the boat in the water till yesterday. Went out and wet a line, came back to camp, cooked up a delicious steak...

Fuel prices haven't slowed me down any. Well, maybe just a little. I really glad I didn't get a gas guzler when I bought my boat last year. I'm limiting myself to mainly boating on the lake I camp on this year. I had planned on going to a bunch of different lakes in the area but with the...

Longest I've lasted on skis was about 11 1/2 seconds. Might have even been shorter but I couldn't tell as I was busy picking sand and water out of my nose.

There's a section at the top of the page in the link that's got a bunch of pics from last year. I beleive there's 110 teams entered for this year.........that one heck of allot of boats that I'll have to check this weekend. My job at the tournement is to cruise around the lake patrolling the...

:fishing:We have a major fish derby this weekend.:fishing: This year, we are seeing teams from all over the province come up for our derby. Our derby has grown in the past few years where we originally had 50 teams entered and now we have 125 teams. So, it's a fair size fish derby. I...

Well, I don't have a houseboat but I've got the next best thing. I'll be out at my camper by the lake this weekend taking in the sun out on the water with my family in my boat. I might even decide to inflate the new tube I bought last fall and take the kids out for a spin on the lake. You...

I've got a new 40hp Yamaha outboard 4 stroke on my boat. It ran perfect last fall when it was put away. It was fogged at the dealership where I bought it. All the old gas was drained from the tank in the fall. Now, after four tanks of fresh gas this spring. The motor still idles rough...
