registered about a week ago. but already had a trip with long time forum members to rice lake.

hm, about myself. fishing already 2 years. i find it really one of the greatest activities in the world. i live in Vaughan so usually i go fishing north of GTA although sometimes i travel east/west also.

i cannot wait till i will become usual member of the forum and my messages will be shown immediately in the forum. till now they have to be reviewed and only after that they appear in forum.

Hi guys,

i got an inflatable boat Intex Seahawk 400. it's not a hard bottom or rigid inflatable but regular soft bottom boat.

Also i got a HUMMINBIRD portable fish finder and it comes with suction-mount transducer but the problem is with soft bottom boat how do i mount even this suction cup ? i don't want it to change directions with every wave that shakes the boat bottom and also what if it fails it will hook the trolling motor propeller which is not a good idea also.

also i have seen some mounting brackets that allow to mount on trolling motor itself but i am afraid of interference with motor and also because of the propeller this scenario won't give me much accuracy in readings.

any DIY ideas what can i do?

thanks.

Basically planning to go for some evening-night fishing at Lake Wilcox in Richmond Hill.

I have 4 person inflatable boat with trolling engine and all the accessories.

But and I am alone and I don't want to go into lake alone at evening and night. If anyone is interested please PM me.

Bring your fishing gear and your life jacket and we are good to go.

Also planing to go for some fishing to Six Mile Lake (Provincial park) tomorrow, so if we both enjoy the company tonight we can continue experience tomorrow.
