  1. FYI:

     

    OPP to take in old flares

    Posted By THE SUN TIMES

    Posted 1 day ago

     

     

    The OPP and Transport Canada will be running a week-long marine flare disposal campaign next month throughout the province.

     

    Boaters are encouraged to safely dispose of their unwanted, expired marine flares at any of the 165 OPP detachments in Ontario, including those in Grey and Bruce counties.

     

    The OPP will turn the expired flares over to Transport Canada's Office of Boating Safety after which they will be taken to a certified disposal site.

     

    The drop off will run the week of Aug. 1 -8.

  2. John, you are 100% correct and couldn't have said it any better. I'm a broker and have this conversation about 10 times/day....your policy is setup to take debris away, "rebuild" with new materials and the market/selling value of your home has absolutely no bearing at all.

    Try explaining that to someone who purchases a large Victorian home for $300 000 but they have to insure it for $700 000... :wallbash:

  3. Garry,

    These fish were around a "beaver building" as he calls it in about 6 ft of water. We had the bait suspended about half way down and simply drifted along the shoreline. The weather was pretty cool with showers on and off so it may have just been good timing for us. I highly recommend the slip floats for young and old..they are a lot easier to cast and use than the traditional bobber.

  4. Went away for a week to the Muskokas with my family and my 4 yr. old once again showed my why he calls himself the "Crappie Hunter"

    He was using a slip float and Gulp leach that Jos @ Angling Outfitters set us up with...the Crappie loved em. Oh, the stringer was simply for the photo as he couldn't hang on to the "big and wiggly fish" by the lip. The fish was set free to live another day. Thought you guys would enjoy.

    Literally just got all of the above up and running on the weekend including inputing the MMSI...I play on Lake Erie with young kids and figure it's a small price to pay for the benefit it provides.

  6. Depends on the value, you can add it to your homeowners but preferably it is much better to insure with a marine specialty company. That being said, find a local broker who deals with Cowan Insurance.

    If you're not worried about damage to the boat you can likely extend liability coverage from your homeowners fairly economically.

  7. Starting em off early on the beer though.. but if they are gonna drink it is best to be the Light stuff :devil::w00t:

    Soooo... you admit to drinking Light Beer eh? LOL

    ha, ha, ha...should have seen that coming! Guess it's too late to edit this and say it's my Dad's beer!?

  8. Long story short, my parents bought a cottage on a channel in Long Point and today we finally had a chance to relax and enjoy some minnow dunking with my kids...pardon the pun but I think they're hooked for life! Here's my kids with my parents (oh, just some clarification, those are my tall boys :whistling: )
