Default Parts and service suggestions....

Well that was a heck of a weekend.... I took one of my kids and two buddies and went to Cold Lake to fulfill the bucket list dream of catching a Lake Trout... It didn't even need to be a big lake trout, I just wanted to cross that one off the list. Instead, one of the fiberglass poles in my Clam Base Camp tent shattered before we even started fishing. Then the entire throttle assembly somehow broke off my Jiffy Ice Drill. I also smashed the living crap out of my Big Buddy heater but it is only cosmetic damage. At the end of the trip, I never got a single nibble but am left looking for parts for an auger and a tent.

Anyone know who's good in Edmonton at servicing old augers and where a guy could get a new pole for a Clam Base Camp?

Hoping that I can get all that repaired so that I can venture out again this year and hopefully get myself that laker I was hoping for.

Sounds like some bad luck bud, hope Willowtrails flasher is still in one piece!

Yeah, Willowtrails flasher is fine since it spent pretty much the entire trip in the back of my car... pulled it out Saturday morning after charging it all night and within an hour the battery was dead. Didn't notice til later that there are a pile of AA's that are not rechargeable. It was momentarily useful to identify depth but that was about it... No damage done to it though.
Did also manage to lose the little rubber thing that clips onto the cord of my fishing camera for the panner as well so I'll be looking for one of those... What a sh*tty weekend.
