I don't think people realize how smart of a man he is. Fooled by the camo and frog hunting, lol.

Don't forget all those fancy restaurants that serve frog legs, I think more people are thrown by the squirrels

I just heard an interesting take on this, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. The theory is they wanted out of the A&E contract. Now, just supposing this is true, one would have to say the country pumpkins outsmarted the network execs. There seems to be a growing backlash against him being suspended or fired or whatever has transpired. They may just have trapped A&E. If that was the plan I may just become a fan afterall.

Pretty smart move in that case, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

All you need is any form of Federal or Provincial Government ID that proves your age. Your drivers license or Health Card is all all you would need to carry while fishing.

Does health card really cut it? I thought it had to be photo...

The days where you could show up to Stelco/GM/Ford and be a lifer with little to no education are over. Also, if you're sick of your $10 an hour job

That's actually $10.25, Bill. LOL

yup, it is sport.

 

Most younger people will never be able to retire. I belong to 3 different fishing clubs, chair on 2. The big question is why is our membership dropping so fast. I look around the meeting and see nothing but old gray hair.

Very few younger kids getting involved, why?

 

That's an easy answer, you aren't advertising it to kids. I belong to a few clubs as well but only one of them has another youth member. Do you think these clubs ever had kids involved? Probably not, I can tell you there are lots of kids out there who love to fish but a club isn't always the most inviting setting for them (I just so happen to like sitting around the conservation meetings, I'm weird ).

Right now the fishin hole has free shipping over $50. Not bad.

I can think of a few guys on here who are cheaper than that

 

Buffalo wing

Let's do it!

So....where is it?

Wherever you guys think has the best wings and burgers

Do you have incoming gamma rays or are you getting ready for next year hallowe'en, just curious. What are they for?

Fly tying, usually $6 a pack. I've used the tinsel but found that it is VERY slippery, so use lots of thread, wax and glue

Have to say I agree with S, there is a lot of info posted out there that shouldn't be. That said I don't think that it is wrong for people to post reports that could keep people safer than they would be otherwise.

Brian, what colours would you like?

I'm afraid I'm not going to catchup to my slacking ways but here are a few more.

Ice flies, made for gills and perch but this winter I may try them on a windlass tip up with a couple split shot for whities. $3.50

Viva, a small stillwater streamer for browns or bows. $2.50

Hopper fly, for aggressive river trout in late summer. $2.50

Rabbit leech, a great steelhead pattern for deep water. $3

A mouse topwater, extremely buoyant with great movement. $5

Last I heard, Etackle scammed a bunch of people. Glad I didnt order from them. I know phil is alive and well, and has a new job, but not sure whats up with the tackle scamming....i mean business.

 

S.

I heard it was just slow shipping

 

I think he is having health or family issues and is not actively selling at this point.

 

I still order a lot of stuff for Lebarons.

Last time I talked to him that seemed to be the case, hope all is well!

And I urge you to read the 2014 fishing regulations found here too.

x2, won't be much of a problem if you have a guide as they'll know the book by heart, hopefully

The ice is always unsafe to the OPP & other police departments.

As for police kicking you off the ice, if it's not private they have no legal grounds.

Didn't actually kick us off, but he tried to.

Last year some cop kicked us off a small pond that had an easy 4" black ice, maybe 5". I wouldn't trust them with ice reports.

Musky ninja!

Great fish as always Mike, congrats!

Not your fault Mike, I doubt you'd be able to add that many inches with just those 2 fish haha. Congrats to team 5, hope to see you all again next year!

same here.

I'm guessing he's just talking about fish prices from commercial trollers... but that's just me.

From his post:

 

Some thin ice at Long Point Bay. I wouldn't go out until the commercial guys put out their huts here.

Commercial guys ice fishing? Didn't know that.

 

How exactly do they do that?

I'm guessing he's talking about guys that rent out huts.

Congrats to Chris!

There's always the option of the firehouse again too.

Should work fine for me!
