bulldog's ROCK !!

hah they do, but they are a LOT of work.. lots of arse wiping, face wiping, weiner wiping, he snores like a freight train.. if he eats anything that he normally doesnt (different kid of treats, or food) we're pretty much gaurenteed to be stunk out of the room or cleaning up doggy puke in the morning..

Don't worry Bitsmith, he'll be fine. Some dogs hate water but if they fall in, you'll be surprised how fast they learn (literally, instantly) Or just get him a doggy life jacket. The problem is he'll never let you go boating alone ever again without a fight.

lol... a doggy lifejacket is a definate must.. i thinks there's only a small percentage of bulldogs that can actually swim.. mags would be more interested in trying to drink as much of the water as possible, than trying to swim

cool thread and nice dogs guys..

here's my buddy, magnus.. dunno if he's going to get much time with me in the boat, he's not the most profficient of swimmers..

having a hard time finding toys that will last more than a day.. he'll go through a black kong pretty quick, made real short work of an electric razor last week too.. the crazy guy will jump through hoops for just lick of beer..

just after bringing him home

almost full grown

wonder if you could buy an artificially fertilized egg...

could you transport it? would it count against your limit before it hatched?

Supply and demand..

 

"hops" gets worth more than corn. farmers will change.. Now if the price of Beer comes down when the price of the grain comes down???

true.. there was a big hop shortage last year, them little leaves are like gold..

try PPSA.CA..

i dont know if you can register a lien on a recreational boat in ontario though..

nice report mike..

dont know when your trip is, but i managed to get a birth certificate & a passport in < 2 weeks (prolly around 4 years ago though)..

TJ,

If you want to go to Cuba, take a look at this place. Spent a week in February and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Older crowd, almost to quiet.

we fished the surf at that resort this past dec.. some goofball paraglider almost took my head off with his kite thingy.. litterally missed me by a 1/2 foot..

if you're planning on doing any fishing talk to crazyhook.. he knows the good spots.. i've got a 'secret' spot in veradero as well..

REGARDLESS OF THE TEST FORMAT, NO TEST CAN BE ADMINISTERED IN THE CANDIDATE’S PRIVATE RESIDENCE.

 

The test site must be owned, leased, occupies, or otherwise controlled by the course provider but that is in no way under the control of a candidate taking a test.

 

There must be no consumption of alcoholic beverages at the test site.

 

All candidates must verify that they have not written a test within the last 24 hours.

 

There is some stuff on ID's and a whole bunch of other stuff but you get the picture.

hmm.. i'd have to call shenanigans on that.. i did the test this past thurs. at my office.. and i have booze in my desk

i agree that its a cash grab as well..

Just got a 42 inch Sharp Aquios LCD and I really like it!

nice tv.. same one i own

we've been out once, my buddy raised a couple from under a floating chunk of ice, but didnt connect.. this weekend we're going to give it one more shot..

I knew I should have kept my yap shut on this one.

I won't get into as the whole thing is a bit sensitive to me, as I fought with the City of Kitchener for years to not start the trend to ban Pit Bulls and look where it ended up.

The difference between myself on the Council was that I had statistics and scientific fact, where they had fear and numbers.

 

sorry to stray off the topic.

 

my best guess would be a Cane Corso or Neapolitan Mastiff..

lol.. BSL sucks, i've had people run from me and my dog while out on walks.. even had a guy tell his kids (who wanted to pet him) "that's a pit bull, he'll bite your hand clean off".. kinda makes me laugh that people can confuse a bulldog with a "pit bull"..

In most cases when dogs go bad it is the owners fault. Dogs are pack animals and most dogs are happiest as followers. All dogs want a strong pack leader to set rules, boundaries and limits. If the human doesn't provide that leadership, the dog will assume the role of leader. You see this all the time...If your dog jumps on you when you come home, isn't just glad to see you. The dog is dominating you. If your dog flips your hand to get petted it's dominating you. The dog who goes through the door ahead of the owner, is the pack leader. The dog that barks at you to be fed, is not cute, it's the pack leader.

 

The Dobermans that were mentioned, were guarding their pack...the children inside.

For what ever reason, the owners were not seen as the pack leaders.

 

To be happy and well adjusted, a dog's life needs to be 50% exercise, 25% discipline and 25% affection with their owners. Exercise means walking, not running around the yard looking for a place to poop. Discipline means rules, limits and boundaries, not punishment. Unfortunately in most homes it's 75% Affection...and the dog takes over.

 

On Cesar Millan's show, The Dog Whisperer, the first thing he does with problem dogs is take them for a long walk. This establishes him as the new pack leader, and reduces the dogs energy level. It's amazing how often this simply tactic makes the problem that the owners were experiencing, disappear.

nicely put garry..

my dog would croak if he got 50% exercise.. maybe 5% and put the 45% left over into sleep time....

I'll add my votes Perch pattern x-rap and johnson silver minnows. Perchie caught me most of my TO harbour pike early last year (around this time) then the spoons when the weeds got a bit much for the jerk baits later on.

damn that perchy.. stocked up on them last week at bps.. lol

Mike I have fished it a few times it has a real mixed bag of fish .The walleye fishing is good but alot are caught in the slot size.

 

Have caught quite a few walleye here.

 

There are some good numbers of Muskie in there and Pike and Bass are in abundance.I have been told there are some lake trout too.

 

You want to be on the lake early before the pleasure boaters get up and zoom around there are many cottages on this lake .

 

you will like this Lake very nice place .Have a good time.Mike

hey Mike, thanks! looked like a nice lake from some of the pics i was checking out..

i'm not going to hold my breath for walleye.. i'm sure we wont have many problems getting into pike though..

Hey guys, just trying to get some info together for a trip we've got planned for the first week of june..

normally we hit up the south bay of nipissing and have had good success, but this year we've decided to change the location.

so we're booked into a place on Talon Lake.. anyone fished it before? any insight? not looking for way-points or hot spots, just having a hard time digging up any decent info on the lake.

thanks guys!

mike

only ever fished baptiste in that chain... stick to perch patterned lures..

Here's an added twist to this... have you ever noticed that any and all correspondence you receive from CRA, your name is written in capital letters? I don't know about everyone else, but I don't sign my name in caps! Ever wonder why they use capitals?

There are any number of tax revolter's out there... individuals and groups... for those interested in learning more about how we are illegally being taxed to death!

HH

i always assumed it was because their software was / is, more than likely, written in all caps and they were following the standard.. that or they're yelling at me..

CH knows his stuff.. got me onto fish down there (in run of bad luck, camera with report worth pics went missing)..

the only extra piece of advise i'd give would be to leave your good rods at home.. two of my buddies had their rods go missing..

and the tarpon seemed to love my lil cleo blue & silver (NNB) that had a tiny plastic squid on a single hook.. rest its soul that last i saw her she was firmly embedded in a tarpons mouth, while i was standing there with broken line..

took a look at the prices for the tickets yesterday, 100 level tickets @ $400 a piece..

add in a hotel room for a couple nights.. plus "entertainment"..

dont think i could sneak that one past the wife...

If he's actually that low then you can easily read the letters off the fuselage side. If he didn't land or take off, to have an excuse for the height... call Transport Canada at 4900 Yonge St. and have them lift his licence... I personally have no use for such behaviour.

he couldnt have been more than 15' off the ice.. i thought was was going to crash... it wasn't like the ice was empty either.. he did it over a crowd of people fishing..

wish i knew enough to get letters off his fuselage..

i know there's a place real close to sandy bay.. i think its either on the 654, right where you turn onto sunset cove. .

or on sunset cove, before you turn onto sandy bay rd.. normally by that point in the drive i'm a little drunk.. but its one of those corners..

Hmm I've got those micro tubes, used 'em in the summer and for some reason didn't think to bring them. Will definitely try that out, did you get a lot on the top hook, 2 1/2' seems pretty high but what do I know

 

Anytime you want to head out you know I'm up for it.

 

Clamp-it: the chair is actually one of those HT one map flip over deals so probably not the same since you've already that Tarpus Maximus taking care of the wind. Good old cheap sled and bin though, can't go wrong.

 

GCD: I know minnows work but I'm lazy and cheap

ya man the top hook was getting a lot of the bigger ones..

i'll send ya a PM

hey sean..

i cought a good number of eaters on berkley micro tubes (think they're called atomic tubes now).. white seemed to be the color of choice.. didnt have a FishTV to see how many were down there though, that didnt bite..

fishing them off a drop shot, with a hook about 3/4' from the weight, and another about 2 1/2' up from that..

had to hook them as close to the 'tentacle' thingies as possible, as the fish seemed to be pecking at that end..

we should hook up for a day out there..

hey bill.. glad to hear ya made out good.. good to see ya again.. we fished around the green huts into the afternoon and only got one fish to show for it... at least my buddy, who'd never been ice fishing before, got it..

he picked out out final spot of the day, completely randomly, and we got into them pretty good for an hour or so.. two of us caught about 100, kept 30 or so, of the bigger ones for the pan..i got one real nice jumbo as well..

got back out sunday again and our first set of holes was non stop for most of the day.. again lots of dinks, kept about 20 in the 9-10" range..

the one thing i noticed, is that drop shotting white micro tubes was getting me a high percentage of keepers..
