  1. Don't buy domestic that's for sure. Spend a little extra for Japanese like the Toyota Tundra.
  2. Look at wiki regarding electronic cigarettes. Most are made in China. There are also a lot of articles that back up the fact the most are made in China. After all, thats where they were invented. Who said anything about juice?
  3. From what I understand, a lot of the materials in the e cigs are even more addictive than nicotine. They come from china and are not healthy for anyone. Do your own research and make a decision. Best way to quit in my opinion is to man up and put the cigarette down. Mind over matter.
  4. The law isn't always cut and dry. Some subjective decisions made obviously that others may not see the same way. It's unfortunate that they were tagged but I sometimes its wrong place, wrong time, wrong officer.
  5. Were you there when the tickets were given? Just curious to know if this is what you saw or heard. No offence intended. Regardless, I think any situation can be handled differently than what it was but I still think the officer had just cause to charge them. I also know how people who get charged leave out information to make their side of the story come off like they are innocent.
  6. It's just a guess. Nobody really knows what really took place. I know it's common though for tickets regarding improper life jackets.
  7. My guess is the stowed away life jackets weren't proper fitting.
  8. What can you really expect from a river that is damned 2 miles from the lake where thousands of fish sit and wait to get absolutely DESTROYED and MASACRED!!!! Oh it's a scene, man. I'm guessing some group knew about this a long time ago and now the $hit storm is about to hit.
  9. If the OPP deems the life jacket unsafe even if you're wearing one then you can be charged. Could it be handled differently, absolutely no question. I'm guessing bad weather this summer meant less boating, which means less income from fines on the water. OR, the officer probably found other things wrong and let them off with a smaller fine. I also agree with the law with respect to whether or not the officer deems the life jacket is safe to use. I like to see enforcement, it means people are out making sure others are being protected. The word gets out fast with fines and with death on the water. People should put safety as a top priority, not fun.
  10. Ethics and an opinion on a put and take fishery are two different things. I do not condone snagging, and I am perfectly fine with the harvesting of fish where a put and take fishery exists....if that answers your question.
  11. It's the original rape hole for everything. Brown trout included. All put and take so any thing that gets bonked doesn't bother me one bit.
  12. Don't forget, this is the same water that flows into Lake Ontario. And people wonder why some are hesitant to eat fish from the lake. We are the last lake on the Great Lakes chain, the bottom of the barrel. I'll never eat fish from Lake O.
  13. I think deep down, every steel header has good times at the dump. They just don't care to admit it. It's good for one thing, but it does offer up a few good laughs, sometimes a little inappropriate behaviour leading to some fines, and always leaves me wanting to come back to the circus.
  14. So instead of rolling down your window and telling her how unsafe it is to text and drive, you purposely trick her into thinking the light was green so she could run a red a light and potentially kill a driver going through the intersection. Some times a beep beep and a no no is enough.
  15. Not sure if you're joking or not but...... Those are spawning fish and it's best to leave those fish alone. There isnt an ethical way whatsoever to target these fish, so please leave them be. You would be harming the steelhead population if you took one or more fish off of their redds. After steelhead spawn they begin to drop back down stream from pool to pool to the lake, these are the places you should try and target steelhead. If you see fish in shallow runs, just walk on by and leave them alone. I will warn you though, that most ethical anglers will not be too impressed if they see anyone targeting spawning fish of their redds so be careful and protect your fishery. Have fun on opener!
  16. It's just advertising plain and simple. I don't see how it's any different in other sports. The fishing guys have to say it more because they don't have tv timeouts like on live hockey, or ads wrapped along the side boards, or Molson/Coors banners and flashing signs hanging from the stadium. How about football, kick off, commercial, 3 and out, commercial, change of possession, commercial, touchdown, commercial, extra point, commercial, kick off, commercial etc.
  17. Where do they get these girls? Brutal. Between Rob Ford and the sunshine girls, you'd think Toronto is the trashiest city.
  18. If rates sky rocket your home value will decrease substantially. Your mortgage could be more than what your home is worth. In which case you would pay in a much less sweet scenario. At the end of the day mortgages aren't there to help you get what you need, they help get what you want. And in 25 years, you've probably paid double what your house is worth. Get a line of Credit, pay your debt off fast....that is your sweet scenario!
  19. I got a new fly rod and reel for my wife...best trade I ever made
  20. For the eager home owner that wants to pay off their debt quickly (10-15 years) the best tool is the Manueline one account hands down. Mortgages usually eat up any increase in value of your homes after 25 years. If you like the mortgage type format where you make your set payment every month, then that's the way you should go but boy do people pay for that!
  21. I have owned and worn all kinds of waders. Simms, Redington, Bare, Orvis, William Joseph, White River, basically low to high end. Sinker is right when he said that waders do wear out; however, the cheap ones wear out offaly fast. You should consider where you do most of your fishing. If it's the eastern ditches where crossing and wading deep doesn't happen often then you can probably get away with inexpensive waders. Those pin hole leaks that come from time to time won't be bothersome because you're not wading waist deep to fish and pressure from the water will probably penetrate. Now if you fish big water that requires wading or crossing deep sections don't cheap out or you'll be wet a lot. Depending on your budget, I'd say the Redington Sonic Pro are the best bang for your buck. As for used waders, don't bother unless you can try them on and wade up yo your nipples to see if there are any leaks. Personally, I like to be comfortable when I'm on the river, and comfortable waders can be pricey. I use Simms G4 Pro and am extremely pleased. The seams on the boot foot came off after 2 years and Simms sent me a brand new pair. Other than that, they have done an adequate job.
  22. Never really understood the reasoning behind ripping it down frozen lakes, especially ones we'll travelled. With huts, pressure cracks, drifts it's very dangerous. The police indicated the vehicle rolled numerous times ejecting the occupants. They must have been doing at least 80 and probably more. Head shaker for sure.
  23. 100% illegal. I actually asked the mnr about this device and they said that any device that sets the hook while ice fishing is illegal.
