  1. TSN has raptors basketball. TSN2 is supposed to have the ducks/stars game starting at 8pm. The problem that no one had the foresight to anticipate is the Midget national AAA final not being over in time. The entire 1st period of the nhl game was missed.
  2. Nice job tsn. No wonder the nhl went with rogers. They suck slightly less then you.
  3. Nice job Rich. At first I thought you had got that bird up where I met you in the fall. I was half-way out the door for a tag.
  4. And Miller still hasn't won anything, but now he is going to be 34 before his next game. Sure you'll get 7 mill this summer... you didn't help a very good Blues team win a round but here is 49 million dollars for 7 years.
  5. If it was an email I would know it's a scam. It does appear legit, at least from fedex. Still trying to figure out what it is.
  6. I received a letter in the mail that appears to be from fedex. It is a bill for import charges (I think). Neither my wife or I recognize the name of the shipper, or the product. Scam?
  7. Odds are that those other hits were whistle trout.
  8. Not surprisingly, not many perch have been caught. http://www.thebarrieexaminer.com/2014/04/26/first-tagged-perch-yet-to-come-in-at-orillia-perch-festival
  9. Nice brown. I stayed home. 3 out of 4 of us have colds. I may go for a walk after work this week.
  10. You're right, on the right tackle they are a blast.
  11. Wow, don't tell me that the Sharks are going to choke on it again. Going into the series I would have said it's a pick'em (and thought that the Sharks would win) but to be up 3-0 and then lose would be a colossal collapse.
  12. One man's delicacy is another's staple is another's cat food. I'm not going to suggest what someone should, or shouldn't, enjoy eating. My only concern is the overall health of the fishery. The MNR's numbers support opening up the fishery but in a limited trial. It's not just that the numbers are up but that the overall lake health is much improved from the 70's-80's. Compare the cisco limits, if any, on other bodies of water. They are very generous, and so were Simcoe's back in the day, but the water quality went downhill and most of the lake's fish numbers dropped.
  13. Like I don't already have enough rod envy.
  14. Someone who was interviewed today said they would be told by May 16th and that their training would start on May24th. I would think that would mean a mid-late June opening, or certainly Canada Day.
  15. Thanks for the tips gang. He thinks the interview went really well. Won't know for a few weeks. Only thing to do is go fishing.
  16. The Colt's had an open try-out/game for their draft picks and free agents today. My son thought it was great, and he ended up with another Colts puck. Next game for him will be the Memorial Cup. When you're five, a month seems like forever.
  17. I'd be interested as well. I've only got them when I've combined them with other items from Cabela's. One of the first things I might look for when the Barrie store opens. I fear though, that like many other things we will not have access to all the good stuff.
  18. He wanted me to keep fishing but I knew how cold he was going to get. I had withheld bit of information in my original post, but since he gave all the details on fb I'll tell you the rest of the story... He crapped himself a little as he fell into the river. And now you know the rest of the story. We take his car next time.
  19. I've been a bag guy for about 5-7 years now. I can mix and match the trays based on the species, time of year and tactics. I also have a few stored in the boat as well, although those are mostly trolling type baits. It really depends on how you fish though.
  20. And normally I would have been, but I was keen to get back to the fish that were tired of looking at spawn bags.
  21. I had most of the day off so I went for a drive with my brother. We brought the rods but were not likely to spend much time fishing. Took a look at some spots; yep, there is a lot of water. Saw some turkey hunters; yep, we need to find some property to hunt. Anyway, we figured there is no point in doing all this driving and not wet a line so off to the lake we go. There were a few float guys at the mouth but the east wind was blowing onshore hard. So we both were going to chuck hardware. I left my sunglasses in the car and wished I hadn't because the wind was so hard that my eyes were watering and I had a hard time following my spinner. Then I think I hear something and look back to where my brother was and see that he's playing a fish. Nice, 5 minutes and one's on. Dropback with not a ton of fight and my brother's got in on shore fairly quickly. I snap a fast burst of photos and go to put the camera away as he releases the fish. As I turn around to see how things are going my brother catches a foot on a rock and loses his balance and stumbles forward a step and then falls face first into a foot of water. He's wet from his beard to his toes. The water he says is "Surprisingly warm.... at first." Fortunately the wind was loud enough that none of the other angler's laughter could be heard. If only I had tried for a release shot I would have had the whole thing in pictures. One of those stories of ours that will live on around the campfire for eternity. Brookies and browns for me tomorrow.
