Fisherman

Summertime favourite, fried onions with 1/2 a can in the old cast iron pan over the fire, add fried potatoes and it's a happy meal.

I'll have to take a look, I like the old Ron Lindner TV shows. Some of these new guys is just a bunch of hee hee, haw haw laughing like fools.

Ya, got a foot here last night and had to go to Vaughan this morning for back injections, boy a ride I wouldn't want to do every day of the week.

Wouldn't want to tally up the herring I caught all on a treble hook with a pearl wired underneath the hook, just jigging. Those were the good days.

Attracts too many raycoons.

Well it comes with 4 year warrantee and roadside assist so it can't be that bad.

Thanks, however doesn't say about throwing offal into the water/lake.

If you make a statement like that, please put up a link to support it.

Seems like you can't kill that stuff.

Somewhere in those new regs I'm sure I saw something that noted it was okay to change water for livewells, which is pretty much the same as a minnow bucket. Found it: (3) Paragraph 1( does not apply to water that is taken from the waters where the person is fishing, used in either a recirculating device attached to or forming part of a fishing vessel or a moveable container holding bait or baitfish, and deposited back into the same waters or within 30 m of those waters.

Ya, I'm sure there's some good intent of not introducing species in some lakes, ie, pike into a lake of bass and walleye(Mountain Lake) Doug knows what I mean. Or inadvertently dumping gobies or smelt into another non infested body of water. I know for a fact, somebody unaware of the consequences threw some minnows in the local Rod & Gun pond (Catawampus), 2 years later the annual kids trout derby was pretty dismal. One of the guys pulled a 12lb pike out of the pond. I don't have a problem using mashed up dead minnows, unlikely that would do any harm. At the campground we used to dump the salmon and laker guts in the lake and watch crayfish clean that up. One of the outfitters up north bagged all the walleye guts and had an old freezer out back of the cleaning hut and would take them to the dump every week. Oh well.

What is it made of?

What gets me are the driver, all by themselves in a car or truck wearing a mask.

Kids say the damdest things.

A few years back my neighbour bought a legend with a Merc, first day out had to get towed off Lake Simcoe, put another merc on it and didn't get much further. Then he went with an Evinrude.

I'd rather have a well running Yamaha "sewing machine" than a black anchor with a moniker of Many Emergency Repair Centers when things break down.

Hahaha, some fish will bow down pretty low for a meal.

Yup, there was an old army cook from the rock, name was Mike Massey that used to kill the whities, back then the limit was 25. He had a hut out by Lefroy for perch we used to fish back in the '90's

Remember waaay back a bunch of us used to go out on the ice around Thompsons hole and catch the splake there.

Used to chum the holes for ice fishing in winter, loose roe for rainbow and whities.

Regulations are current to 2021-01-28 and last amended on 2020-12-16 https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2007-237/page-3.html

From OOD, page 22. From OOD page 22. Chumming for fish Chumming is a common practice among anglers and refers to baiting an area to attract fish. However, there’s been longstanding confusion between chumming and regulations associated with bait-bucket dumping. For this reason, included in the 2019 proposal for multiple lines, the MNRF also sought input on clarifying these rules.At the time, the OFAH expressed concerns that the wording provided in the fishing regulations on bait bucket dumping was confusing and needed to be updated, and that the definition of bait for the purposes of chumming should be clearly defined and exclude risky baits (e.g. live or dead fish, bait-fish, leeches, frogs, crayfish, and roe. THE OPENER OFAH INSIDER It is now illegal to release or attempt to release live or dead bait or baitfish, including fish eggs, gametes or fish parts, the water, soil, or other materials used to hold any of these items into or within 30 metres of any water. These rules apply to all FMZs across Ontario. Chumming is still allowed, but only with plant-based baits or artificial corn.

Depends on how many donuts you bring, inversely proportional equation.

Thanks Dan: This proves the left hand has absolutely no clue what the right hands doing, yours from the Aylmer office says it's ok.

Back to the original subject, I sent an email to the MNRF to clarify if we could fish at night and got an answer back today. Not surprised that they didn't actually address my question but sent back the "pick one" of the gov't gibberish. Thank you for your email.
