Decent fishing can be found at any wharf.. I go to the local grocery store to buy fresh clams as bait.. just fish the bottom for "flat fish" or flounder. The locals usually welcome you and offer tips. No license is needed for fishing the ocean. I might be going down this year to visit family in Clare/Digby... We drive to Quebec and stop before or at Drummondville for the night so we can pick up some beer at Costco. (It gets expensive in Atlantic Canada for Alcohol).There are plenty of good motels in town... just park near the front doors..Be sure to stop for gas in Cornwall, then NB as the price is about 10 cents a litre more in QC. My cousin has a cottage near Cavendish beach and there are some great beaches nearby.. we go to Thunder cove because it isn't as busy as Cavendish beach itself and its free. Check out province house in Charlettown..so much great history. As for NS, as others have mentioned the South Shore is a great drive. I wish I could go every year....

only problem with firing in the air is where it lands.. which would have put it in line with my house..

I was working nights so I didn't hear the shot.. I know a neighbor there and the consensus in the area is that if you don't steal or trespass, then you won't get shot.. ouch

Hopefully a short fishing/ camping trip with my daughter.. probably not much more than that if anything .. home renovations and a dying father in law will keep me close to home...

As soon as I found out it was an older chev I kinda had an idea of what happened.. this has been going on for as far back as I can remember.. it happened to me 20 years ago when my truck was stolen and found burned out on the edge of the reserve. The problem here is a big one but there is little political willpower to fix it. Like Tims wife Sharlene said " it's just a truck ".. it isn't worth anyone dying for but when you are young your stuff can be very important to you.. now that I'm older I realize that my family is the most precious thing I have.. harm them and you will pay the ultimate price. What I don't get is why was he stealing a truck? This guy is a member of the styres family which is very wealthy !!

I wouldn't drag anything too heavy into the woods. We camp in a car trailer for moose hunting and it's pretty tough on the tow vehicle.. any washout and it hits the ground so it takes hours just to go about 60 kms. A good tent along with cots etc can be pretty comfortable.. be sure to take a dining tent with side walls..

My insert is used daily all winter to supplement my heating and this year it has pretty much rendered my furnace useless . Being a high efficiency unit really stretches my wood supply. If you have blue smoke coming out the chimney then you aren't fully burning the wood. To make it worthwhile for me to heat my house I need the maximum number of BTUs out of the wood. In an urban area it would be foolish to heat with an inefficient stove because there are just too many people that would complain... once up to temperature a high efficiency has almost zero smoke, you can't even tell anything is burning..

With the weather warming up we might have to head waayyy north to fish.. wow ..

I actually talked to the bylaw guy who issues tickets and he told me I was just lucky that I never got a ticket before this. The bylaw was created in 2012 so there has been plenty of time to post signs but like I told them " sounds like something to trap tourists".. the ones who can afford it will have the place to themselves.. they alone won't be able to support the businesses since they aren't there in the winter. I will go to long point where they actually invite you to come fish.. no parking areas are well marked... rotten Ronnies will get my cash..

I might have to venture up to Simcoe soon.. my spot in Georgian Bay is toast.. this is the first year that I've gotten a ticket for parking at the side of the road.. no signs to indicate no parking. I went to the Township office to pay them and to give them a piece of my mind and to tell them I won't spend another penny in their municipality. The fishing sucked too.. I guess the lake is reserved for those that can afford to live on it...

I'll find em..lol.. I was worried they were discontinued..

The last time this post was active was the last time any of the stores had any stock..lol.. coincidence??. I think not.. that's the power of the Internet and why you can't give specific locations where you fish.. now if everyone can ignore this whole thing then I might be able to get a couple before they are gone..

Now show us some fish!?!?!?

Sadly this is the new economy.... she had to know what was going on but at 20 grand a month she was only looking to get as much for herself as possible... Camp out at her house..

I haven't seen them in Stock . I check every time I'm in the store..

If you ice fish outdoors you may find some reels stiffen up in the cold.. If possible take it apart and remove as much grease as possible and replace that with a light oil..

I really hope they figure this thing out. The people who work and train at Goodwill need meaningful work...

My 07 chev colorado hasn't had that many problems.. I would look into it.. but then again if a vehicle sits outside for months at a time without being used then things start to rot.. sometimes a higher mileage car will actually be in better shape mechanically......... "very old ironmaker"..LMAO..

I think it's just the Toronto area that is affected. The stores in Hamilton are doing well with an expansion planned for this year. It's too bad about the mismanagement because they provide jobs to a lot of people who would otherwise never find work..

If "pretty girls" keep popping up what does this say about your browsing history??..

Wow..

That's why I never ice fish on a weekend.. I hate having too much company!

I have the adapter and I save a bundle on the little tanks.. especially when I can fill the 20# tank for less than $7 at costco.. I keep them stored in the shed just in case of a leak..

Tons of great deals at the swap meet.. get there early!

I have a feeling that it will be a good year to pick up some discounted ice fishing equipment at most of the retailers..
