This answer was posted to a question asked in 1999 and is obviously outdated info. The current regs are clear about how to cull certain species of fish using your livewell. Here is the link to the original question from 1999: http://www.outdooron...mnrfaqfish.html

From what I can gather, the "Boat Cache Program" only applies in the North west region and only on certain lakes. It apparently is covered in the Public Land Use act but good luck trying to find any info on this topic. On these lakes, you have to have a permit to cache a boat and you have to paint the permit number on the boat. You may only use a designated boat for transportation and you may not fish from it. I have googled long and hard with no luck finding any info on this other than some posted on other boards. I guess if your not sure, you should either check with the MNR or buy yourself a good camo tarp.... Another value added service from our MNR....

This myth has already been put to bed by Woodsman on page 2 of this thread.....

There was a fantastic picture posted on Spoonpullers a couple of years ago but I can't find it....it was a picture from a boat in open water off of Grimsby with two guys downrigging about 100 feet or so from the edge of the ice where a bunch of guys were ice fishing....classic "to each his own" photo.

In all reality, Easter isn't that far away!! Can't wait for my chocolate treats!!!

Here's a link to Pat's Boating in Canada. It explains all the ins and outs of transferring the boat & trailer as well as the differences between "Registration" & "Licensing" of boats which is important because they are two totally separate things and handled very differently (small pleasure craft a almost always licensed not registered which is where a lot of confusion starts). There is lots of other good info on this site as well... http://boating.ncf.ca/license.html

You have sulphur water....lived with it for years and it's no fun. Filters, softeners, and UV sterilizers do nothing to remove sulphur from water, you need a unit specifically for this task. Here is a link to the Culligan site with the Sulfur-cleer system but other water treatment companies have them too. They also help with the iron contamination which is causing the rust stains. http://www.culligan.com/en-ca/d/homes/whole-house-water-filters/sulfur-cleer/

I do the same in the garage....I call it "thrinking" and having read this whole thread, I thrink I'll turn off the computer and have another beer

Nipfisher, I replied to your PM on the other site with the info you requested.....check your inbox.

I usually stop at Billy Bob's bait in North Bay on my way up so I don't have to worry about melting them during the trip. He has flats for $45 and the size and quality of the worms is second to none. Crappy worms really P me off especially when you buy a whole flat. He is only about 300 yards west of Hwy 11 on Lakeshore Road. I am going up next week so I just called to confirm and he has lots.

Here is a link to Pat's Boating in Canada. It has a good section on all the ins and outs of buying a used boat as well as lots of other helpful information: http://boating.ncf.ca/license.html

I take offense to that comment!!!! What are you thinking???
