Haven't they all been speared out of there....oh wait, wrong creek....

Its always easy and convienient to blame the unions isn't it.....forget that hydro costs have skyrocketed, their competitors have already moved and we also have environmental rules to follow....I bet they would have moved even if the workers made only $15 an hour...

Looks nice but how slippery is it with a bit of snow???

Lots of boats out on lake O and long point bay....not sure about the catching part...

A good storage solution would be used plastic drums that had juice syrup in them. A place here in hamilton had them for $20 (hotz environmental)........

I'm an executive member of the Glanbrook Conservation Committee. Most of our work is at the Binbrook Conservation area which consists of Bluebird trails, wood duck and Mallard nests, 10 000 trees and 30 000 aquatic plants since 1991, build and supply nest box kits to scout groups and schools(900 so far), development and maintenance of walking trails, shoreline protection projects, 12 cribs and over 1000 christmas trees sunk for fish habitat with another 10 cribs this year, we help with the winter crappie derby and hold our own spring derby, each year we bring a bus load of inner city kids out for a few hours of fishing and thanks to Fishing World we send them home with tackle and fishing rods, we kept the duck hunt going through some lean times for the conservation authority until they could staff it themselves.. While we aren't always happy with the way the Authority runs the park they have over time put more money and attention into the place. We will continue to work with them to advocate for all park users, especially fishermen and hunters.... http://glanbrookconservation.on.ca/joomla15/

There's an online auction through the Hamilton spectator. Look in the sports and recreation section for some good fishing and hunting deals...picked up a marcum for half price last year...

Is there even any water in coots??. It must be really low if there is....

Try the photography section...some good tips there....

Highs and lows for sure.....good luck fighting the cancer! Stay positive....

Mine is in as well....

Acme battery in Hamilton also has decent prices..... My marcum has issues with the battery gauge not allowing a charge through it. When I hook the battery directly to the charger it works fine...

Nice fish Dave...no machine?....thats a long haul but with cleats on it's much easier i guess....

fishing a hut with such big holes would make me nervous.....lol

They can be hard to pattern. I find smaller and somewhat inactive fish on the bottom of the deeper water and more active feeders suspended.... Sunken timber seems to hold active fish as well. Coaxing them to bite is another thing....

The deals of the past are gone due to the huge amounts venders are charged for rent...$$$$$

This guy makes the good cops look bad. Hope his career is done...

Even the back part is owned by the conservation authority but it's very shallow.....I've never seen much caught from there....

Thats the thing about good crappie spots.....no one will ever tell you and if you find a spot on your own you have to keep it a secret!!......nice fish!!

Binbrook is still closed to all ice fishing and coots freezes right to the bottom because it's so shallow.....your only option appears to be bayfront park provided the ice is safe. If it is safe there will be others there to learn from...

Might be a good idea to have rescue on standby....

Is is sketchy in some places.I would be walking and wearing a float suit.....

There will be huts out of old cut apparently. Visibility is about 3 feet or so...

Binbrook is still not safe due to high winds that kept it open even when the deep freeze.It is now frozen over but some spots are less than the 6 inches of black ice needed to open. With a staffed park there are issues with health and safety regulations so they have to have a strict policy in place...
