Wow, the few pictures I saw look terrible, luckily no one was hurt. I can only imagine the hassles involved, especially if you have to deal with them from a distance? Even the foundation of the cottage may have damaged? A complete do over? Take pictures of wreckage and destroyed items? It may help determine initial value?

Fishfinder, was that the one in Gravenhurst?

LOL Brian a couple more weeks of this weather and my son can start harvesting our grass crop! Too bad there isn't much of a market for that type of home grown! We have had some 50 - 60 degree days and snowflakes the next day, typical March weather here. I hope you can get out fishing soon!

Sorry about your families loss, never been thru anything like that, but pictures of the cottage and contents before the fire might help to establish the value?

Squid, I believe that ramp is in the Erie Islands area, but it sure looks like a lot of people had enough of cabin fever?

I guess fishing season has started! https://www.cleveland.com/sports/2019/03/fishing-report-for-march-22-steelhead-walleye-kick-off-a-spring-fling-of-fishing.html?fbclid=IwAR1wnlErzLi5dLdusiuNwEpX821o_s8uLtznBKlbdpWBKHM77dnqr4aDeBc

Sounds like they are similar to the Alaskan Pollock except for size?

??? If you were to shoot 50 of them in one day? What the heck would you do with them? Do people eat them?

Blade bait fish!

Lake Fork is well known as a trophy size bass fishery and the slot limits are designed to keep it one, the thought is the 16 - 24 inch bass are the prime spawners? Even Ohio has slot limit lakes for bass, to encourage bigger than average size fish? " Black bass For largemouth bass, length limit is a 16-24” slot. Bass 16 inches and less or 24 inches or greater in length may be retained. Only one bass 24 inches or greater may be retained each day. For smallmouth bass (if present), minimum length = 14 inches. No minimum length on spotted, Guadalupe, and Alabama bass (if present.) Daily bag limit for all species = 5 black bass in combination. " Lake Fork rules, they apply to everyone? Just a trim? https://www.wired2fish.com/news/angler-charged-with-fraud-in-big-bass-event-on-lake-fork/#slide_1

https://www.bareitallpetfoods.com/ " Ingredients: Wild-Caught Asian Carp Fillets " I seem to recall reading that native Americans ( Indians) used to put a fish under their seeds they were planting? Fertilizer? I also feel that them getting into the great lakes would be a serious issue and you have to wonder about the thought processes of the people that allowed them to be brought here?

Lew, I am guessing they missed a zero in that price guess? Bare bones single axle city tractors at fleet prices were more than 40 k when I retired 16 years ago.

Catawba is basically right on shore across from a couple of the Erie islands, so it does get necked down there a bit ketch, but our weather is probably a bigger factor. We have had some pretty serious rain over the last couple of weeks that had some serious wind along with it, that with a few rivers not too far upstream on the lake? That area has had events like that as long as I have been alive. A couple of the best known spawning rivers are in that area and it's probably a staging area for pre spawn fish which makes it a much more popular area? It's really been too warm here for safe ice, I am just guessing but with the rain all of our rivers are probably washed free of ice.

https://fox8.com/2019/03/09/coast-guard-warns-no-ice-is-safe-ice-after-ice-fishing-rescue-by-catawba-island/ It happens pretty regularly in that area, and people never seem to learn from it?

LOL, 11 channels? You are a young guy! I seem to remember 3 channels that all signed off the air around midnight! B/I before internet, a test pattern meant a sure sign of bedtime, unless you were into watching those? Hmmm, doing well? I fall faster than a blitzed quarterback, I may need a helmet for head protection! Too stupid or stubborn to give up on the walking thing though? Hope all is well with you and yours John!

Rumor has it Michigan is also looking for some Wolverines, the ones they have keep getting pelted by Buckeyes!
