Joey

From the tone of your post, I agree with this statement. Marriage is about compromise and making each other happy. Doesn't seem to be working that way. Sorry.

Great pictures and nice pickerel. I agree, the last photo is my fave!

Welcome Colin, we live not too far from you in Richmond Hill. The closest places that we fish are Lake Simcoe or Lake Ontario. The Kawartha's are not too far east either. We're not much into the cat or carp fishing but there are alot of members who are and I'm sure you'll get all the info you need from them. Welcome to Canada and welcome aboard, Joey

That's great Two nice beauties and an entry for Team 5 - Excellent!! Nice goin! Joey

Congratulatons Paul, that is one big milestone. I'm on year 6 Joey

Well that crappie is huge, why not go where you caught that? Have a great weekend with your daughter, or Roy's

Congrats Peter, looks like you are liking what you are doing

Well now I'm hungry Looks good

That's just so wrong

Four Earnhart's Nice shootin on Betty's part B

Cool video Simon, and great pics. That's really neat that your cat follows you for your walks It really is a little slice of heaven, you are a lucky man. Nice pike too Joey

Well this is why I don't bother responding most of the time. I seriously don't see how members being dealt a bad hand has anything to do with Cliff's questions and concerns. I have many friends and family dealing with bad hands right now aswell, but that has nothing to do with an injury incurred while at a public venue in which the injuried party only wants guidance and what is fair under the circumstances. I'm done, I'll keep my opinions to myself from now on. Good luck to your friend Cliff, Joey

Nice Rob!

Great Job, some nice fish there. That's a big brownie

I think that is the story from what Cliff said in his original post. Maybe not everybody, but "others" have fallen in the exact same location and they had advised the organizers on several occasions that this was a hazard. Lets take Brian's example and say you went to his cottage and were walking on his dock and a huge nail dug into your foot, you fell and cut yourself and needed stitches and a hospital visit. It was so bad and became infected and you had to go home early and someone had to pick you up and drive you home. You missed work and had various other expenses. He's your friend so you say oh well, that's life, guess I wasn't watching where I was going, but you mention that he should fix that in case someone else gets hurt, and he just shrugs it off. Then you hear that since then, several others had the same thing happen to them and the injuries were just as bad or worse. I'm not saying you would sue him, but those others certainly should have been made aware of the potential danger and it should have been fixed. They could sue as he knew it was dangerous (you could too but we're being nice here). In my opinion it should have been fixed and nobody should have been allowed to enter that area until it was because of the known potential danger and liability.

Excellent report. Wow, that water really is high and fast. Those crappie look dang tasty too. Congrats on the PB She's a beaut!

I fully agree with Skeeter on this. Why should your friend have to suffer physically and monetarily for Talladaga not fixing a problem that has been pointed out to them as a potential liability. Talk to the lawyer, see what Talladaga has to say and go from there. Joey

Glad you got out Wayne.

Great report and pictures

Beauty shots Simon. It's amazing how fast the ice can melt.
