AAAH Corporate greed---where would we be with out their lust. I recall watching a show on Discovery once---they were talking about faults within certain model airplanes. If a said fault were to ground several companies fleets costing millions in the mix due to lost time---if there's only a chance it would fail---they factor in that paying out crash victims families is cheaper than grounding the fleet. Must be powerful sleepin pills these guys take to get a good nights rest huh? OH yeah---I believe it was a lock on a door---boeing 747 in this instance. Look out for #1---cause nobody else will---especially if there's a dollar between the two of you

I watched the film with the CEO of then EXXon telling the people in Cordova Alaska----you will be amazed what they were going to do.(Valdez) Actually really amazing watching EXXON run 18 years of litigation to end up paying 1/10th of the original fine. CEO of BP sounds really familiar. Apparently the 500 million dollars now EXXON/Mobile paid out----4 days profit margin. People committed suicide in that town because they were left high and dry. Highdrifter is right---no more drilling till they figure this out

great fish

Well they really would'nt know how to deal with oil and ice either in the Beaufort sea. Watching the news this morn as they collect dead sea turtles is a sickening sight. They want to look into offshore BC---think your salmon has trouble now---there has to be a better way.

Well everyone on this planet is watching the mess that's evolving in the Gulf Of Mexico. Sooo I'm watching recent events and apparently the same "BP" has a few rights to drill in our Arctic Ocean. Now our current Gov't says we won't let anything bad happen---much the same words the people in the Gulf used with their rig that's less than a year old. They want the same cost saving features (No relief well) to drill on several of our coastlines. OK I know it cannot be stated enough that money is the root of all evil but when we keep pushing and screw this planet over bad enough---what's left. Oil companies--this is all about greed----we know that the tar sands reserve surpasses the Saudi fields --yet they want more. Anyone watch "The Nature Of Things" on the Exxon Valdez--and how the town of Cordova Alaska became an overnight tragedy--affecting real people like you and I----shareholders only care about bottom lines---people just get in the way. Opposition parties in Canada are calling for a moretorium on offshore drilling--until they can find a solution to this issue---our Gov't says we'll make sure it's ok-----feel better!! Sorry for this rant---when money grubbin lowlifes put our home against their bonuses---I get angry.

Nice see'n a global spin here on OFC

416---Good intentions here but probably won't fly---(And I don't shore fish much anymore) This thread is not far removed from the poaching threads from the Kawartha's where individuals were a few hundred over their limit. As a veteran pre-boat shore angler---I found any Accessible water in Ontario will hold something to pull the string---a little research and preperation gets you there.

Latest barbie we got had to have the side burner---for deep frying french fries or whatever. Don't care what anyone says about the stand alone fryrs with a lid for your countertop---kitchen still smells like a greasy spoon We got a 3 burner job from Wally world---couple hundred bucks---seems good ---propane though

Funny I used to say the exact same thing about women Well you pose a rather broad question but here's something----Walk the local piers and your creeks and rivers right now while the steelhead are runnin----watch closely ask questions of those you meet---very few anglers I've met streamside are rude--most helpful

Does a trip like this get any more Canadian??

Hey BrianB---Ya Have'nt heard from a guy called Misfish lately have ya?

I know when I lived on a lake--I only owned to the "High water mark"---the shore was crown.

Here's what I use---Hickory chips---I don't use the cloves or wine

I tried Crappies on the weekend too Simon---zippo Think the water is still too cold---I started at 44 degrees---best I found all day was 50 Watch for those big snappin turtles in the Goon---there's some biggies (Realizing those are not in your pic)

Thanks Don

Someone may direct me----I was looking for what we used to call "My Controls" to change up the ole Avatar I'm probably lookin right at it but cannot find---anyone?

Thanks Ron, That's a wealth of info---If I can ever return the fav--please let me know

Now I've got a fair idea with every freshwater gamefish on where they may be----BUT---this crappie stuff is kinda new to paint boy. Now my intel says there is these flat critters in my local lake and another nearby---planted and not normal to the lake. Now I tried last year with what and where they may be----all I ended up with was oos bass and rock bass and sunnys. I tried micro tubes and bobbers and some gulp---nuthin. Now I'm fishing rather large lakes (10 mile-ish long)--fishin inflowing rivers and weedbeds---fished up river---zip-zip and nada. Lakes have healthy populations of top predators (me being one ) Any ideas on temps and placement would be mucho appreciato

very nice---beauty day also

Sharin the latest with the membership here. I did one like this before but it got wrecked--so its a re-do. I'm a big fan Of The Duke----sooo this kinda got its idea from The Shootist "Just Take Good Care Of Ole Dollar"

C & R is the only thing to do with carp--then you don't have to worry about wasting flesh

Maybe talk to a lawyer---I believe insurance companies do not like the bad press of being sued.

Marshmallows are the secret bait Ya mean Stoty bleeds blue n white???

There's way too many guys out there thinkin they can catch as many as me

That's one of yur Northern beerhawks----usually showin up uninvited to backyard socials and barmitzvahs
