Two cats? Or 1 and a half cats?

... Anymore?

Do they even make inner tubes for car tires?

The charges laid are somewhat curious, I would have thought that there would have been some sort of navigation hazard aspect.

I was poking around the boat last weekend. Left the AA's in the flashlight, but other than that things are as ready as they can be. I might pull the boat out of the garage this weekend and start it up and check the trailer lights.

http://www.nugget.ca/2015/03/26/charges-laid-in-gill-netting The Ministry of Natural Resources has confirmed charges have been laid in relation to the unmarked gill nets found in Lake Nipissing last summer. “I can confirm that on March 24, 2015 charges were laid in relation to the unmarked gill nets,” Jolanta Kowalski, Senior Media Relations Officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry told The Nugget Thursday afternoon. She said the suspect was charged with wasting flesh of fish suitable for food (an offence under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997) and for leaving decaying fish in a net (an offence under the Federal Fisheries Act). “We appreciate the cooperation and assistance of the Nipissing First Nation in this matter. Since this matter is now before the courts, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further.” Kowalski refused to identify the suspect and didn't provide an explanation. From June 7 to late August the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry officers pulled 13 abandoned nets from Lake Nipissing. Most of the nets contained hundreds of dead fish. The first net was discovered on Lake Nipissing on June 7. The net had more than 200 rotting fish in it. As the nets continued to be found in Lake Nipissing, community organizations and groups jumped on board to help and bring attention to the issue. BAYSAR Search and Rescue joined forces with the MNRF in the summer to help look for abandoned gill nets. The volunteer organization took five flights over the lake. The North Bay and District Chamber of Commerce and Lake Nipissing Stakeholders Association called for the arrest of person or persons responsible for gill nets after discovery of a fifth 200-foot net full of rotting fish floating in Lake Nipissing. Nipissing First Nation put a stop to gill netting on Lake Nipissing last fall in response to concerns from its community members about the health of the walleye fishery. Chief Marianna Couchie stated in a previous article that the band council closed down gill netting on the lake until spring when the recreational walleye fishing season opens. She said many people wanted Nipissing First Nation to close gill netting right down, however the band council opted instead for a temporary closure out of concern for community members whose livelihoods depend on the fishery.

The charges are in relation to unmarked gill nets found in Lake Nipissing. According to Ontario Court of Justice documents, Couchie was charged with leaving decaying fish (in a net), an offence under the Federal Fisheries Act. Goulais faces charges under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, as well as leaving decaying fish. Ministry spokeswoman Jolanta Kowalski said “the matter is still before the courts so it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to comment.” Kowalski did not identify the suspect or explain why his or her identity was withheld when charges were laid.

Chief Marianna Couchie stated in a previous article that the band council closed down gill netting on the lake until spring when the recreational walleye fishing season opens. She stated many people wanted Nipissing First Nation to close gill netting completely.

The first one was the one I like best. That hammer handle would rather get a suntan then be lunch.

Found a couple of possibilities in just a few minutes. Hope they get it back for their sake and for the other boaters.

That's somewhat identifiable from google earth no? If it was in place when the current photos where taken.

My vote is vole. Nice a cozy under the snow for them.

The vessel (not the boat kind) has to be considered. More water flowing through a river with banks shaped like a U doesn't have the same speed as river with V shaped banks (if all other factors were the same).

Speed and volume are not necessarily related.

Bit of difference too if you're fishing from shore or from a boat. A 3 way swivel with a minnow bait (or just about anything else a walleye would eat) works in current. Casting minnow baits, or crank baits, across the current and working them back. Drift it in a boat and vertical jig. Lots of possibilities.

Lots of carts, but not a horse to be found.

He could catch his death that way.

I know right. Who would wear green boots with a yellow rain coat.

But the new liquid salt solution has only been used for the last 5-ish years and for many of us this winter didn't have a mild rainy break to wash off the poles/wires this winter.

All through the gta. Even here north of Barrie. Same thing on the weekend, here and gta. No wind, no ice, just failing infrastructure.

I think I hear the other guy say "pound and a half" near the end. He's closer but I'm not sure he'd win the showcase showdown either. Nice day fishin' with family though.

So you're making a new one every fall? You should take some orders. It might only take you twice as long to make 4 as 1.

4 minutes of bandwidth?

I hadn't seen this before, figure others might not have either.

You sold it? Can't wait to see 2 point oh.
