Thanks Eugene, looks like I have a bunch of reading ahead of me. Do you have any pictures of rods that you have built?

Thanks Jim! I'll keep you guys posted. May not start building for a while, school needs to calm down a bit so I can have some free time

Thanks guys! I can't wait to get out fishing again but it may not be til December when ice fishing starts up

Thanks! Those links have a lot of info

I was thinking of getting into custom rod building just as a hobby at first. I have been looking into it a bit online and some people are very talented at making cool looking rods that you won't be able to find in the store. I just bought the advanced custom rod building book that everyone says...

That video is pretty sweet. Your fuel bill would be huge with a turbine in it though, and you would need jet fuel. It's obviously doable. It's super loud too! Your neighbors on the lake would love it! You should find a C40 model 250, 750 shaft horse power, and it's not that much bigger...

I suspect that there is chlorine/muriatic acid in the room that is causing the corrosion for sure. Those harsh chemicals are probably producing a caustic environment in the surrounding air, so if the room is closed off to the outside then the air surrounding the fridge is causing the excessive...

Finally got out for some smallie fishing, first trip of the year! I wish the lake I usually fish had bass in it but it's just crappie, walleye and pike. Headed out bass fishing with some friends on a camping trip and managed to catch some lunkers! They were all around 15-17". It was a...

Hey guys, I was out trolling for walleye a couple of weeks ago and managed to catch this beauty of a crappie! Measured up at 15 1/8", a new personal best and a master angler for the province of Manitoba! I didn't know that crappie got this big up here. See the pic below

I just bought a sweet pair of neoprene gloves for bass fishing last weekend. It was pouring rain all weekend so I didn't want my hands to freeze. I picked these up at wholesale sports https://www.berkley-fishing.com/products/tools-and-equipment/classics/gloves-neoprene-fish-grip They worked...

Cabela's Canada is brutal! The Winnipeg store just has over priced stuff and staff that could care less if they sold you anything or helped you. It's too bad that they were able to use the Cabela's name because they definitely don't represent what the Cabela's in the states are like at all

Over the weekend I was able to install my new Garmin fish finder. I just attached the screen to a piece of plywood for now because I don't know where I should mount it permanently. Here are some pics Below are some pics of the keel repair that I did. It seems to be holding out the water for...

So I ended up getting the boat ready to fish two weekends ago. I was able to get a bunch of my list done including: 1. install motor and gas tank 2. change oil and filter in motor 3. replace lower gear oil 4. charge boat battery 5. fix small leak in keel guard/ rebuild front keel guard 6...

I would follow what the manual says. The engine manufacturers would all have engineers that specifically work on engine break ins so they would have done a multitude of tests in order to determine the proper break in cycles. My dad just got a new ski boat that is an inboard/outboard and the...

I think it's a built in safety thing because so many people run their cars right til the empty light goes on. Think of people who run out of gas, you're going 30-40 miles past empty on your car.... you would think you could find a gas station by then

Here is my entry. It is of the harbour in St. John's Newfoundland. I took it right before hurricane Earl swept through the area at the beginning of September last year
