Hey Guys, im confused as heck about this one... So i have looked at the boating regulations and it appears as though any boat up to 19'8 in length is required to have a re boarding ladder. But when i think about it, basically not a single 14 foot tinner that I know of has a reboarding ladder on it...can someone please clarify what the rules are in relation to this? Is it just that its not often enforced, or is it actually a requirement? Is every single small tinner out there in violation of the rules? Ive got an 18 foot bass boat and a 14 foot tinner, neither of them have ladders on them...am i going to get in trouble the next time i run into the OPP?

meh, the league handed them too much...put it this way...there is no way in hell you should be able to get fleury as your goalie free of charge. I dont care that hes playing backup on a team with two really good goalies...A lot of NHL teams try to have two good goalies these days in case one gets hurt...or you have a young stud goaltender on the come up like pittsburgh did, the fact that vegas gets to snipe fleury from them is a tad ridiculous.

one trick to anyone struggling with this...go friggin slow....no one will complain if you are backing up slowly...people will complain if you are backing up and then needing to pull forward again. Im pretty decent at backing trailers up, but even i catch myself making the odd mistake, but if you are going slow its so friggin easy to correct because you havent moved far enough to cause any big issue anyways.

watch they will win...and gary betman will finally fulfill his dream of rigging the NHL to bring it to places where no one actually cares about hockey. When vegas wins it all, seriously we have to ask ourselves, is this the biggest rigged event in sports history? I think its actually worse than the NBA putting Lebron in the finals every year.

huh? are you saying on the US side? cause definitely not on the ontario side

ive been asked for a fishing license by an OPP officer before?

lmao lets boat! i have a buddy whos dad is like this...he just cannot back up a trailer...he doesnt claim to know how to, but he put on an incredible display for us last fall ahahhaa...we eventually parked the boat, got on shore and got into the truck and backed it in and then got back in the boat and put it on the trailer. Luckily we didnt keep anyone waiting.

you gotta piss em off enough, just like a river run salmon, its not that they are eating, its that youve made them mad enough to lash out lol

my mind is blown ive done some fishing in that area and every single lake I fished ahmic, and including smaller ones like doe, and rainy and they all had pike so weird that somehow they never got into that lake. Thats actually pretty wild.

why not try for some pike? water will be in the 50's and the pike will be up shallow on the emerging weeds in the warm bays!

you ever drive through there with the electronics on? i think the fish know where the boundary is too lol

we need to go fishing and ill show you how to rig up a drop shot that will outfish anything... had a morning last year i caught 24, the rest of the boat...a collective 5 using a whole pile of different rigs all displaying the same bait. drop shotting might be the most "gear specific" fishing aside from the obvious fly fishing etc, where the rod you use, the hooks, the line and the technique all matter a ton.

thats just the structure available, has nothing to do with the regs. I can assure you that allowing the bass to spawn basically undisturbed has a positive effect on bass populations. Go fish a heavily pressured lake like the kawarthas and then take a trip to the north eastern side of georgian bay where the smallmouth population is virtually undisturbed all year aside from a couple of anglers...People think their fishing is good on their respective lake, they have no bloody idea. ive been lucky enough to fish a lot of lakes from BC, to manitoba to ontario all the way down to alabama...The best fishing is always where the least people are. Theres a balance for sure though, colder water means slower growing fish...there is definitely a sweet spot though.

two fish and a 2 dollar tip not a bad day out

This was taken 6? days ago...(side note god i love down imaging, counting individual fish in a ball of bait? yes please)

as far as i was aware, if you commit a traffic violation which causes an accident, you get charged with careless driving at a minimum. There is 0 doubt the guy blew a stop sign, because if he didnt, he wouldnt have hit the bus going that fast. Hence, i think we can all agree that charges will definitely be laid, its just a matter of to what degree. It doesnt matter if theres, black ice, you are driving at night during a blizzard, you are required to drive according to conditions. So even if the sun was right in his eyes causing him to blow a stop sign, he is still guilty of careless driving causing death...if he couldnt see, he was supposed to slow down to a safe speed, thats how the law is written, theres no way around it. I got into an accident 10 years ago where i hit black ice and ended up crashing (i was admittedly inexperienced with driving during a flash freeze) the only reason i didnt get charged is because the person following me was able to confirm that we were driving exactly the speed limit and I didnt hit anyone, i just crashed into the ditch. Had I been speeding or committed any other driving infractions, i was going to be charged. Thats how driving laws work, its like rear ending someone, if you rear end someone you are always at fault because you were not leaving enough space or driving according to conditions.

and just like a yammy two stroke, you put too much corn alcohol in you, it will be harder to start in the morning.

things were very slow last weekend as well, everything is a few weeks behind...we were finding walleye crappie and perch in winter patterns in 25 fow. A few pre spawn bass up shallow...depending on how the weather holds, bass opener might be absolutely insane with fish still on the beds.

And that’s why I’m a Yamaha man

depending on the power plant, if the thing is in really good shape and the prop and skeg look good, i think 12 is probably around right. My guess is that the motor is a mercury.

Dubas the new GM...awesome!

I remember the first time we went fishing for lakers in parry sound and the old man and i were lost with the regs...I had never seen anything like it either. Literally some of the tightest regs in the entire book. The "no fish" border on the imaginary line across the bay. The 0 possession limit and the size restriction during the keeping months...you gotta have the regs totally on lock if you want to fish there.

depending on how you are hooking the bait, Owner Mosquito hooks are my go to for nose hooking anything.
