Your overdue Art, this could be your year and I hope it's in my boat

Spring starts today and it's snowing so hard right now I can hardly see across the road

That right there sums up a dog.

You have my sympathies Manitou, I went through the same sad thing 2 weeks ago and it's very tough.

I'm gonna be at Lakair over on the West Arm the last week of June and then again the first 2 weeks of August. Maybe we could get a few local OFCers together for a little musky G2G

hahahaha

Yup LOL

We were tough kids back in '48 and didn't need any girly helmets when we rode our scooters

Last year I spent the 1st week of May on the West Arm of Nipissing and driving across 17 from North Bay it appeared the whole north side of the big lake was still ice covered. It was gone though when I came home a week later.

That's great that you got your Grandaughter out for a day of fishing Brian !!

Years ago my brother was snowmobiling across Scugog and when he hit a patch of clear ice he slid sideways then hit a pressure ridge and flipped his machine and was thrown off. Luckily he he wasn't going too fast and wasn't seriously injured. I'd imagine it could happen just as easily with a truck if you were going fast enough.

Always sad to hear this sorta stuff. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbarrie.ctvnews.ca%2Fone-dead-and-four-injured-in-accident-on-lake-simcoe-1.1731704&ei=qt8mU4ecBI72qgGBmoDwBA&usg=AFQjCNEJwMb0w737AdGCpJ3YlQp1kmCOHQ

If it's the only fish caught, it doesn't need to be big to win...congrats I once won $57 for a 1st place prize with a 35" musky

I agree Dutch, I've been using Shimano gear for many years and if memory serves me correctly, the ONLY problem I've had was a Calcutta CT that stopped working and the boys in P'Boro fixed it up for me & cleaned it for a token fee of $5 As for the issue of no spare parts after 5 years, I can't comment because as stated above, my stuff never needs fixing.

If anyone in the Kawartha region is interested in a fun day for the family, where you can watch maple syrup being made among other things, this is a great way to spend a few hours. I was there a couple years back and it makes for a good family time. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmcleanberryfarm.com%2Fhtml%2Fmaplefest.html&ei=vBYiU774A-mY2wWE6YDgAw&usg=AFQjCNGqdGuwTJaV4itwfetMS9yqX1pjfQ

That would really add insult to injury, if he was given $$$$ for being locked up for half his life for something he didn't do, and then have to turn around and give some of it back for taxes.

I used to have a 16' Crestliner and I used a long shaft 6HP Merc for the kicker and it worked fine. Don't know which is actually correct though, a long or a short shaft.

Done here too Joey

I'd say at least 1 million for every year would be a good start.

Yes, I'm well aware of that, I was just pointing out to a new member that the Nipissing walleye topic is one that comes up often and he wasn't starting any problems.

This exact discussion comes up on a very regular basis Doug, it has nothing to do with what you said.

No cell phones involved in this story, but a whole lot of stupidity. It was on hwy 28 south of Burleigh Falls 2 years ago and if I hadn't seen it myself I wouldn't have believed it. Guy was driving southbound in a real hurry and wanted to pass the car in front of him but because of the heavy northbound traffic couldn't do it. Instead of waiting for an opening he actually went onto the soft shoulder and passed the car on the right side, doing at least 100 kmh. Gravel and dirt was flying everywhere, the moron was fishtailing all over the place and the guy being passed actually had to move over towards the northbound lane and on-coming to get away from this moron. I was just waiting for this jerk to roll into the ditch, infact I was actually hoping he would before he killed an innocent family but sadly he kept it together and roared on down the hiway.

That picture of Marvin and I with the matching touques actually won 2nd place in a Toronto Sun "dog/master" lookalike contest. In the original picture only I had the hat but Terry used his puter skills and gave Marv one too. And yes it's framed and sits on the desk right beside this computer.

50 years ago I was a growing boy & needed my food LOL Things were different back then, big fish were for eating and folks almost never took pictures of their catches.

Biggest pickerel I ever saw was an 18 pounder my grandfather caught about 50 years ago while we were fishing Lake Simcoe. It was so darned big I 1st thought it was a carp while I was netting it. Took it in a measured it on 3 different scales just to be sure, then we ate ate it for supper. Things were different back in the day.
