  1. Try launching at fishmasters in Dunnville without the strap....I dare ya!!
  2. Maybe next time they could try tossing then Away from the boat!!!!
  3. I used to fish a lot more than I do now. Lucky to get out more than a couple of times in a month these days. Work hasn't been reliable enough to spend money on anything other than essentials. I do manage more trips in the spring than summer. If you have a trailer on a good lake or even a cottage or home, consider yourself very lucky.....
  4. Only when the battery runs low....
  5. Could you imagine Dolton fishing?? Is there someone to take the fish off the hook for him? Are we done yet? Where are the bathrooms? I gotta pee.... I would pay to see that!!.....
  6. I use a 12 volt rechargeable with my lowrance...lasts for a weekend easily
  7. Nice work Dave...good to see the Stelco boys helping out too...It takes a lot of dedication and hard work to put on a derby but its worth it to get more kids involved in the sport.....
  8. Very cool...
  9. Couldn't make it either...working nights at the place pictured beyond the ship....Its nice to see a city that encourages fishing on the waterfront...
  10. I'd say ditto on the unit Terry has pictured. I think it even comes with a battery but if you need one, they're about $25 at Sail or Acme on parkdale ave. Comes with a suction cup for the transducer as well. I paid $94 bucks for mine in an online auction but you should be able to find one for less than $150...... P.S....... Make sure you have your PFD on in the inflatable!!
  11. Try fishmaster in Dunnville...he's on the web....
  12. Better safe than sorry....
  13. The pike and brookies there seem to love little cleo spoons in bright colors like fire tiger. Walleye might be tough to find in any numbers due to commercial netting that was done in the past.
  14. spend a few bucks more for a portable for the inflatable....try to find one used..
  15. I'm amazed they wopuld waste money like that...lol..did the Chinese fund it?...
  16. We got at least 5 or 6 inches of rain judging by the amount of water in all the buckets around my garden. Our road was closed due to flooding and the local timmies was surronded by water...
  17. Look up Chippewa conservation area...decent bass fishing and close to the Hammer....
  18. Triple t is by far the cheapest option but he is closed until september or so...

    Awesome..did you use a tripod?
  20. You can't fish too close to the boats for obvious reasons....even if it was public property, casting a plug towards a hundred thousand dollar boat might get you tossed from the area. There are miles of waterfront to fish anyways and the city encourages it as well(unlike other cities around here)It would also help the cause if we all took home our garbage and maybe a few other bits that the slobs leave behind....
  21. The only area where fishing is not allowed is in the marinas. Other than that the city encourages fishing along the waterfront....
  22. We have to be diligent with all development these days...Nothing wrong with making a profit but they take the resources out of the ground for almost nothing in royalties, the main benefit being jobs etc. I wouldn't trust the government on anything these days...Look at Samsung.lots of sweetheart deals with the Ontario gov that guarantees big profit. Six nations got a sweet deal giving them $55 million for building wind turbines...most of which aren't even on the reserve. Due diligence is needed so we will have something to be proud of that makes Ontario a lot of money...Fail and we will have an environmental mess and big profits that leave the province without really benefitting any of us...
  23. The natives need the infrastructure but at what cost? The ones who want to train in Engineering or even a mechanic should have the opportunity to do so. The jobs have to be meaningful and worth something in order to foster pride and to encourage them to keep showing up. Cliffs only wants the money so anything they offer is for public relations...not because they are responsible corporate citizens. If they had their way there would be no smelter in Ontario...just imagine how much virgin forest will be opened up with the new railway or highway. This could be good for fishermen or hunters but in the long term it will diminish those far off wilderness places most of us love. As a southerner maybe I have a romantic view of the North but my favorite place in the world is the boreal forest north of Jellico...might sound silly to a Northerner..... you can't go back once the water and land are destroyed by greed.
  24. Cliffs have to be closely watched..they want people to work for free or close to it...Last year the camp workers walked out over wages and working conditions. They were offered what would have been $140 take home per 12 hr day. No employment insurance, no isolation pay, poor safety...basically they thought they were in Brazil not Canada....Camp workers got a $1000 bonus for moving 200 tons of chromite by hand in half the allotted time while the office managers reportedly got $50 000.... It's about money!! Investors want maximum return without a care for the environment or workers...If the oil patch can pay the big wages than cliffs can too.........
