I buy the three year small game licence with the OC. Sure enough, expiry 31 Dec 25. Thanks for the heads-up, buddy! Doug

Four inches of good ice is LOTS to walk on! Ask the lunatics around Owen Sound who go out on an inch and a half...........or used to when I lived down that way..... Every year when you post your first ice post, I envy you! No doubt we will soon be seeing some shots of walleye and crappies coming up through the ice... Doug

Looks delicious! I think the marinade you used is a good idea; I have done them in thin strips and into a teriyaki marinade overnight, then BBQed. But yours look better! My favourite new recipe for wild turkey breasts is to do them as schnitzels. Cut them lengthwise into about 4 pieces, pound them flat, dredge in seasoned flour, then egg wash, then panko crumbs and pan-fry. This was SUPPOSED to be one of our deer camp meals last week, but we basically got behind in our menu and never cooked that meal. More for me when I do cook it! Doug

Looks like a coon to me...

yer welcum! 🙂

Back to CrowMan: my fillet from that same spring is the last one I have left. I took out the two fillets from my biggest Duncanby spring, with the intention of canning one and smoking then canning the other. Well...........one fillet did not fill my canner, so I ended up canning the most of both fillets and cooked the tail portions for supper a few nights back. I had enough leftover cooked spring salmon to make salmon alfredo, and still have a small piece frozen for a future snack. But none of it got smoked...........😢 Port Hardy August 2026 will hopefully bomb up the salmon, halibut and lingcod stocks in the freezers! Doug

Awesome! Wish I was there!!! Doug

I used to run into Lorne Greene here and there on various steelhead rivers and watering holes. He was quite the character! Nice work, Chris! Doug

Good thing you have a big deck and lots of space!!! I have to fight with a small table and two chairs just to get to my BBQ! 😮 Doug

Good times! I had a black rockfish fillet and two small copper rockfish fillets a couple nights ago, tasty enough but I prefer perch! Doug

Super realistic!

I wish!

Yes indeed, known to me as surimi, good stuff! My favourite dish at the Mandarin Restaurant buffet is their surimi salad. In fact I am overdue to buy some surimi!!! It also makes a tasty sandwich with lots of mayo, fresh ground pepper and lettuce. Now I am getting hungry............and tonight's shrimp alfredo isn't cutting it...😉 Doug

Looks awesome! Is that surimi in the pasta salad? Doug

Almost all of the fish were released boatside without ever being netted or brought aboard. Basically, if it looked like at least 20 pounds or so, we netted it. One of us is far more experienced and skillful in releasing big fish with a set of heavy duty long nose pliers and a twist of the wrist...........but I eventually kind of got the hang of it. 😉 Doug

It was EPIC for sure! 😁 Doug

Nothing beats time at camp! Now if I could MOVE my camp to waterfront......😉 Doug

Heck, I remember when it was free to park in Orillia during the Spring Perch Derby...........I hear the charges now are astronomical........... But back to the subject, Drew at Watson's Tackle House in Owen Sound can give you an update: https://watsonstackle.com/ I miss that fishing! Doug

HUH! That used to be FREE!!!

Inquiring minds want to know more.............😉 Doug

Rotel https://www.rotel.com › en-ca Rotel has over 50 years of electronic design, precision engineering and manufacturing expertise. Hmmm, electronically designed cabbage........😮

Heck, you might have been doing that for the ten minutes before.............😄

Back to CrowMan, was that the place you were talking about when I lost cell service? Just curious........... Doug

for Spiel: is there a way to rewind the footage at all? When I rang it up today it looked like one of the adults might have been feeding the chicks. I would be curious to see what (s)he brought back for a meal....... Doug

Have not gone to look yet. Crow Man also advises he gets them at another Kingston grocery store, but I don't get out that way very often. Doug
