Funny HH I keep track every year just because and we had a record number of kids this year too. 35 trick or treaters this year....most years don't get over 20. Put a major dint in the left overs that I get to snack on😡

Like I said Shayne I could care less and our discussion the other night had nothing to do with changing dates because of the weather which just opens a whole can of worms I don't care about either. It was all about making it a Friday or Saturday night so the vast majority could have a nice evening out....or in... and not worry about work or school the next day. The kids don't care at all as long as they get there sugar fix...lol.

Big family chat about this last night because of the news about Montreals plans. The winning choice in our group comprised of grandparents and parents was more about when then weather. Our group would all like Halloween to be relegated to a Friday or Saturday night so everyone has the next day off rather then worrying about babysitting or having to work in the morning. Make it like fishing seasons. Example bass opens last Friday in June around here. Make trick or treat night the last saturday in October. Easy Peasy. Edit to add. I'm retired and could care less. Just thinking it would be good for families dealing with daycare and 2 working parents. Something us older generations never ever had to give any thought too.

Brian I had been putting hex head screws in my last pair of winter ice fishing boots for all the years I owned them. Got a pair of baffins last year and the screws just will not stay in them. The rubber is to soft and they work them selves out. I was losing 3-8 screws every time I went out. I think these Nats will have the same problem which is another reason I took a pass on the amigo boots last winter. I think you will end up having to get a good pair of slip on cleats like I did.

Never voted and I don't think I ever will. To each their own. I have always believed that taking responsibility for your own life and your families will always outweigh whatever any political person or party will do for me. So far it has worked out just fine doing it our own way. I don't follow politics at all and know none of the issues. Perhaps ignorance is bliss...I don't know. And yes I also believe that if you don't vote you have no right to whine and complain about anything the government has on there agenda or anything they implement...so I never do. Good luck to whoever gets in and I truly hope they make things better. But I'm sure as hell not holding my breath✌️

Art, just like Cliff I have never questioned your judgement. Just wanted to say that on here for everyone to see. With regards to the topic I pretty much agree with everything Lew has said.

Glad your getting out and enjoying it Cliff. Looks like a beauty spot too.

Persistance pays off Brian. Beauty morning to be out on the water and you where rewarded with a nice one. Well done and thx for sharing.

I am not a vegan and never will be, but if you have not tried mushroom gravy you haven't lived yet. And the best thing about it is if you just feel like gravy on some mashed potatoes you don't have to cook a whole beef roast or a chicken or turkey to get a good gravy to pour on things.

Lotsa great shots but just like Chris that campfire shot really spoke to me too. Lotsa fish, lotsa friends and lotsa great memories. Thanks for sharing it all with us.

Funny...a spot I fish on Sturgeon for crappie/ gills has 3 bass nests with fish on them I can see from where I'm standing on shore. Been on these bed for just about a week...in about 2 FOW.

Coldest wettest spring by far since I started keeping my vegetable garden journals in 1984 when we got our 1st house and I had a garden of my own. This weather sucks for the summer crops in my garden. However the upside is the spring crappie and bluegill hunting is extended?

Didn't know prices had got that crazy. Did a Egan marine small house boat weekly rental 2nd week in June 92. Good off season rate, can't remember prices but it was't ridiculous.. That is how we discovered Bobcaygeon and ended up buying a cottage there. Sometimes you spend silly money and it actually works out?

A friend fishes a river on the east side for perch Brian but early season some whitties are always present. They got close to a dozen this week. I'm betting there will still be some in there for the opener. I don't recall that ever happening. Crazy cold wet April we had???

Different spots have different times. We have a spot on Scugog we get crappies from as soon as the lake is ice free. This year it was the first part of April and this spot lasted for a week. My Kawartha shore spot turns on real good when you can see the trilliums in flower in the bush. It is not ready yet but in a normal spring it would be by now. Spending a week up there starting Saturday. I hope it is on by then.
