Has anyone heard anything about a Bass Pro Shop opening in Ottawa? My neighbour mention that while he was at the one in Vaughn, one of the staff mentioned that one was coming to Ottawa and someone else I know mentioned it was going to be located in Stittsville. Their website doesn't show Ottawa as a...

Appleton is a great spot for ensuring fish in the boat and variety. My kids love it becasue they always come home with something. My advice is to go for the 4X4. It ensures that you can launch and retrieve from just about anywhere. I have my Sierra in the water on a regular basis launching my Prince...

I've been using an onboard Guest Pro charger for my 2 trolling batteries for over 6 years now without any problems. I recently switched to Interstate Batteries after I couldn't get any more than an hour out of the old ones at the beginning of this season and have been very pleased. Good batteries ar...

My custom cover for my PrinceCraft166 has deteriorated to the point of needing to be replaced (purchased as part of the package when I bought the boat 7 years ago). I want to avoid the expense of replacing it with another custom cover but I don't have any experience with the generic full boat covers...

The Chandlery it is (5 mins from my house). Thanks everyone for the quick responses. The frustrating part of all of this was that I had just changed my props around and put a fairly clean one on. I lauched at one of the Public launches in Belleville to chase some Quinte Bass a couple of weeks ago an...

I've done interior camping/fishing with some success in the past in Algonquin. Best trip had us go in through Brent (Cedar Lake) on the East side of the park. We then canoe'd, portaged over to Carl Wilson Lake thru the Northern route (less hills to climb). Some of the small lakes had great bass fish...

A few too many dings and folds on my Evinrude prop after this season. I'm looking for recommendations for where to send it to get rebuild. I had it done on a shop on St. Laurent N of Montreal, but given I live in the West End of Ottawa, would prefer something closer. Anyone have a general ball park ...

Wallyboss you are indeed in fact correct. Ever since I lost my BackCountry fishing book and moved away from my normal fish haunts on the Mississippi system I've been lost. I'll have to drop some hints to get a GPS system for the boat

Thanks Dirtbag for the details. I finally got out on Sunday to check this lake out with my wife (spin around the lake, a great supper and a little bit of fishing) and will definitely be back for a serious fishing expedition. It took about 75 mins to get there from the westend of Ottawa but it was qu...

I've launched there several times over the past few years and it continues to deteriorate. I drive a 4x4 pickup and can get in and out no problem but water levels can be an issue in how far out you have to go to get the boat off the trailer. There are other places to get onto the Mississippi River a...

It's definitely time to explore new waters (limited fishing the last couple of years with small kids in the house) and I'd like to give Norcan Lake a try. Any recommendations on places to launch from? The lake seems to have access from a number of different points and I don't want to waste valuable ...

I'm looking to head up to Muskrat Lake to try some bass fishing (looking for a change from the ususal spots). Does anyone have a recent update on how the fishing is on the Lake? Appreciate any feedback to make the trip more successful.

I have Princecraft 169, always have a problem moving the seats. I have taken to carrying a rubber mallet (yes the same kind that you seal paint can lids with) and use it to hit the side of the seat post so that it will give. Works like a charm every time.

I do a lot of business in the US and always try and hit the BPs, if nothing else just to marvel at the selection. Some good deals and interesting finds, but not the place where I buy my reg gear. It will be interesting to see how the prices are at the one opening in Vaughn Mills this fall and whethe...

From my handle you tell which model I went for. I have a 4 year old PrincePro 166 with full screen, 50 hp 4 Stroke, fish finder, etc... Great boat, works well for fishing and family fun. I got mine from John's Marina and have had great service and follow on support since the purchase. My wife had me...
