try the pigeon side of the bridge at buckhorn. It seems to always bee doing, good mix of structure, weeds, deep spots and rocks. I hear fishing is tough this time of year on em though, but this warm hold out might help.

challenge with By Law officers is that they arent "real cops" either. All it would take is for her to walk away and the by law cop would have no way to stop her. The second problem is that as you mentioned, they would ticket everyone, including the couple of people at the park that I do know and that have well behaved harmless dogs that come every morning early before the crowds. The last thing I would want is the by law officer to harrass these people who are doing what they should. I guess I will just have to wait until one of the dogs actually visibly injures either my dog or me...sigh

anyone seen the one where the motorcyclist rear ends a car on the highway, does a flip and lands on the roof of the car all while moving?

this is my problem, calling by law on her wont solve a thing because their response time at 6:45 AM is probably non existent. Yes my dog is off leash as i typically play fetch with him in the outfield of the baseball diamond away from the playgrounds etc. when this happened though my dog was right beside me as I was walking away from her and her dogs. I know where the girl lives as its a small neighborhood and I live across the street from the park. I am not sure reporting her would help at all because I couldnt prove that the incident happened. Going to a different park is kind of out of the question because this park is basically in my front yard. Hence wake up and go walk the dog before work. The dogs were not playing...i wish that was the case

Hey Everyone, Looking for a bit of insight from the members here as some of you may have past experience with this. I own a Lab/Cocker Spaniel mix name cash, he weighs about 38 pounds and loves going to the park directly across the street from my house every morning with me at sunrise. Hes pretty low key and doesn't care much for other dogs. Generally he will not go out of his way to interact with other dogs but when dogs approach him he generally has no issues. Some times with larger dogs he will avoid them especially if they are over excited. Last week while at the park a girl with 3 dogs, A german sheppard cross of some sort 60lbs, a large lab cross of some sort probably close to 100lbs and a boxer mix were at one end so i maintained my distance and stayed at the other end of the park. The German Shepphard mix then got away from her ran all the way across the park took my dogs ball and proceeded to run away. Luckily the owner noticed but being a poor owner she had no command over her dog so it took her 15 minutes to trick the dog into finally allowing her to grab it which she was then able to get the ball away. She gave me my ball back and i proceeded to walk away when her dog ran after mine and attacked him. (I still had the ball) Needless to say I wasnt too impressed but didnt think much of it as we were able to break up the fight quickly. Fastforward to this morning. I just arrive at the park when the girl with her 3 dogs came to the park. She immediately let her german sheppard cross and boxer off. The Boxer never does much but stand around, but the german sheppard dogs starts sprinting around and approaches cash who remembering last week then gets close to me and starts signalling to me that hes a bit worried. I attempt to guide Cash away from the girl and her dogs but of course this dog follows and so does its owner until...The dog once again attacks my dog. I start to fend off the dog with my boot and she begins to run over with the big lab cross on a leash as she is attempting to control the german sheppard. Cash gets behind me and the lab immediately snatches onto cashes neck and starts wringing him...I tried to grab the dog but it didnt let go so ended up giving it a kick and the dog finally let its grip go. I immediately told the owner that she shouldnt have her dogs off leash if they are viscious to which of course i got no reply at all. What I am looking for is some advice on what avenues I have if this happens again. My girlfriend told me to call the city bylaw officers or animal control, but what help is that when the dogs are actively attacking my dog. I pretty much have to defend my family in my own hands. I feel kind of helpless because clearly this owner is a complete idiot and doesnt learn her lesson as I know for a fact her dogs have attacked others as well. Really shes the one that deserves the kick in the head but what can you do? Does anyone know if there is some way to stop this girl? My dog cash is tough but what if its a small child next time?

nice piggy sad I wasnt up on GB this weekend! Pigeon and buckhorn hold some nice piggies for sure.

damn pete i wish you told me about this when we met this week! awesome job man!

wow i am encouraged by seeing that there are salmon that are alive in GB still. I thought they were all dead by now.

lol at the kessel bashers. I have a friend who does their fitness assessment in training camp. Let me assure everyone Kessel is the most "i dont give a crap about anything" guy on the team. So all this talk about kessel being mad, kessel being upset blah blah blah. The guy doesnt care. Last year he came into camp and was fat as heck, this is a direct quote that kessel told my friend "meh i dont think ill get cut" The guy is an elite scorer, more goals than crosby, more points than ovechkin, he gets to do whatever he wants and no one argues. Keep it that way. and the guys bashing the leafs are probably all sens fans anyways...so their opinion is worthless.

For all of your shipping into America and pick up needs http://www.cbiusa.com/ Ive used them for multiple high ticket items, and the transaction and ease of use, location, rules and pricing are unbeatable.

so insightful, ive saved this thread. Great write up for us rookies.

And fishermen get a bad name for not caring about nature! This proves that maybe we are more in tune with nature afterall.

dont be discouraged, the pike have been picking up!

the markings on those pike are incredible. This has to be the best northern pike fishery in the world. I am jealous beyond comprehension. Thanks for the report...super sweet

mega jealous of this fishing rig, the downrigging gear is a steal anyways!

this just got added right to my christmas list!

Byng is well marked in the river itself, the ice fishers like to set up right in the navigation channels in the winter as this is obviously the deepest part of the channel. The water is still relatively warm but as this weather continues to hold I imagine the pickerels will start making their way in. As Bill said, dont even bother trying to navigate without charts unless you are looking to purchase a new boat soon. Take err really slow and be aware that if you head out into the bay, the weather picks up quick and if you are in a small boat theres a very good chance that you could end up in 10 footers smashing directly onto the shoals that protect the area. Bring Rain gear, if the forecast says theres a chance of rain, it will rain.

this is why i dont even bother for eyes during daylight. I either wake up before dawn or am out past dark because I have no luck with the darned things anytime after 9am or before 5pm. I keep hearing that deep trolling with planer boards or even dipseys can work though, yet to try it myself though.

this is the best read i have had on here. Thanks for sharing.

woke up sunday in pointe au baril and it was 4...the water was still 17.6 though. Made for a lot of fog, I have a feeling the ice is gonna be on really early this year. Snowmobiling is gonna be great!

I cant say that I am not a fan of the idea of this "internet lynching" idea. I wish no harm or anything upon this individual, but in this day and age, its a great deterent for others to not conduct themselves in the same fashion. Hopefully someone else out there that likes to illegally kill fish will reconsider after seeing this. If it does happen, then this is all worth it.

are these types of PFD's no longer valid if you take them off?

Serious question, does anyone know the rules about manual vs auto inflatables? Are manual inflatables considered "valid" if stopped by the OPP?

yet apparently climate change isnt happening? Whether its man made or not whatever...this weather is pretty wild, but being a weather nut its kind of interesting and fun to watch. I can also thank the ridiculous amount of rain we have had for filling GB back up so no complaints there! I say keep on bringing the rain/snow etc etc (and yes the ice storm did major damage, which included an insurance claim and me losing all of the mature trees in my yard) Its mother nature, you are along for the ride weather (see what i did there) you like it or not.

the guy "apologized" whether it was sincere or not who cares...its up to the ministry to make sure justice is served, and to make sure this dink never does it again. Aside from that, he killed a fish, not a human. I hook fish in the face, break their necks and then eat them. Try do that with a human
