    Toronto Fishing and Boat Show

    My boat is in a boat house but spoke to 2 companies regarding a trailer for my Doral 245 as I'll need one soon - both were $10-11k. A few years ago I recollect $7k. . .

    Toronto Fishing and Boat Show

    What struck me most was how the price of boats has gone up dramatically over the last few yrs. Far too expensive for the average person. . . My 2 cents

    Boating during the lockdown

    Just wondering if boating/fishing at Long Point is allowed during the lock down? Was out last Thurs night and didn't see even one other boat, then saw the thread here about an $800 fine. Any info is appreciated. . .

    Anchor question

    I have found Danforth anchors (that style anyway) to be the best around LPB with it's sandy/silty bottom - expect Pt. Bruce is similar.

    Here Come the Big Winds again... and again!!!

    Just went ot from Marina Shores to Pottohawk - very nice in the inner bay - the predicted high winds aren't here at least this morning. Thousands of birds for about 2 km just west of EC10 - look like ducks but seem smaller - fly very low to the water skimming the waves. Been here 15 yrs and...

    Great video - thanks for posting. the phragmites is extremely concerning. They sprayed a stand 80' from my house about a month ago and I see very little effect on the plants. . .

    Route to Bluffs Bar

    There is a channel south of the main channel but not officially marked. On your map it's near the dotted line approx 1km north of Pottohawk point. If you don't have a GPS with that spot marked, you can follow other boats across or when my GPS was in the shop I was able to slowly approach the...

    Mouthwash

    Spoonbill - here's a good article about cancer rates. None of those diseases were rare years ago - we are living longer, obesity rates have increased (effecting cancer and diabetes), and people no longer die as readily from these diseases as they once did which allows them to pass on genetic...

    Converting To Electronic Ignition

    No other changes required although I may have upgraded the wires before the change - don't recall. I also made the change on a 350 Chevy in a '71 corvette. I did not experience the issues Leaky describes above - perhaps the year matters. My OMC was a 1991.

    Converting To Electronic Ignition

    Eliminating points is a worthwhile upgrade I did to my OMC as well as an older car. Petronix has what you need. http://www.pertronix.com/prod/ig/default.aspx

    Water levels

    Has anyone taken a larger boat (24 ft +) out of the channel that services Teal, Pickerel, Willow, and Poplar Streets at Long Point? I was down last weekend and didn't seem like the water had come up much in the last week so didn't want to risk it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Inner bay waves

    Depends on the strength of the wind. For most N winds anywhere in the inner bay is OK although the waves are larger on the south side than the north. As you leave the inner bay the waves will be quite a bit larger and if you head towards Bluffs or the lighthouse, the waves will continue to...
