fishinfool

For the second time in as many months someone has joined the forum for the sole purpose of lecturing me on posting reports which they feel are too revealing because of my "hero shots". What gives? I generally post pics of me with beached fish or closeups of fish etc... if you can identify a river by seeing a fish, a few spruce trees and some rocks then wouldn't you already KNOW where that spot it? Can I do anything to deter people from continuing to bust my balls over this? It's a real deterrent to posting future reports when I have to take flack all the time.

I feel your pain Dr Salvelinus.

It just seems we have to put up with a handful

of righteous members who have nothing better to do...

I wish they would go fishing and stop harassing

the ones who are on this site for what it was

originally intended for, sharing their fishing adventures.

Thanks for the link daplumma, thats the best 4 hrs I have spent on the internet in a long while.

I even got to see a Hodaka Ace 100, the first bike I owned when I was fourteen. lol

Made me feel old...

It might be a large(ish) body of water, but the bog itself is a particular location and it's quite small compared to the main lake.

 

I personally know some guys who fish the area, and seeing this post would make them cringe and grind their teeth.

 

There's a rule on posting specific locations for obvious reasons.

 

Why not just say the fishing was hot on Scugog??!!

 

D'UUHHH!!

Lake Scugog to me is called the Bog, not any specific area or spot.

If I have a good day fishing and wish to let my friends know about it on OFC

then guess what...

Some of you guys are dumb as stumps!

The lake is big, i'm sure that the people looking for info online will come across the

fact that the Crappie are on all over the place with the early warm spell.

Go fishing guys and don't bother continuing with your dumb comments.

I for one am not going to get drawn into your childish rants and opinions.

For the members on here who are looking for more specific locations, pm me.

Well if it makes a difference, the spot that I was in was not do-able from the shore and there was only three other boats in there with us.

There are dozens of spots all over the lake that produce. I figure if anyone has a boat and fishes, they will be heading that way in any case.

The ones without boats, well they are limited in where they can go.

I really don't think telling people "the crappie are on fire" is going to make people drop what they are doing and run out all nilly willy to fish.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Got together with Hud and Newfieman yesterday on the Bog.

We absolutely slayed the Crappie, a fish with almost every cast.

The average size was 8 to 10 inches and the odd bonus big one

thrown in for good measure. I caught one about 15 inches.

Didn't take my camera, so no pics. Sorry guys.

Nice finally meeting you Hud, gotta get out again soon.

I was also thinking of doing some fishing there on Saturday, I have two friends that live right on the lake and they both

told me the ice is completely gone. Not too sure about the water levels though.

Maybe I will see you up there.

Great looking site, way to go guys!!

I quit Jan 01 six years ago.

I also threw out about $800 worth of MonteCristos and Cohiba Esplendidos because I completely forgot about my humidor full of cigars when I quit.

They went all mouldy and flaky, what a waste.

Quitting was the best thing I ever did but I put on about 15 lbs.

Good Luck to anyone who decides they want to live longer and quits.

It ain't easy but it's well worth it in the long run.

Is this what a Coyote looks like...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honestly officer he attacked my car....

Yup, that'd be a Yote! cept the back legs are usually pointing the other direction. lol

Last summer while walking my dog on the boardwalk at Frenchman's Bay a lady told me that a Fox had run out of the bushes and tried to grab her poodle.

Another man walking with his dog chased the Fox and it ran back into the bushes.

Has anyone ever heard stories of Fox doing this before?

It's really too bad about the woman's pets. I must admit however that that "reporter" could have cleaned up the story just a touch unless he was quoting Durham police verbatim.

 

I was half expecting the last paragraph to read:

 

"The second dog did not appear to have been hurt however, the coyote was later seen on Woodbine, propped up against a tree and smoking a cigarette. His breathing sounded stangely like a whistle."

Now that there's funny!!

Howlllllll no pun intended.

Dem Pomeranian are gooooood eatin'

I've heard they make good Musky baits...

Ya just gotta figure out how to hook em and run a stinger hook!

The police warning is just about the funniest thing I have ever read.

LOL Dara I thought the same thing.

"If a coyote poses an immediate threat, call 911"

Help, Help!! I'm being eaten by a coyote.

"Yeah right buddy, that's a good one"

I wonder if they would send a squad car immediately? lol

The last time I needed a cop in a hurry, they showed up 2 hours later...

LOL -- I think that when I posted pics of that wolf, I also titled the thread "Big Bad Wolf"

Sorry johnnyb if this was already up...

Has anyone seen one this size?

Makes me want to carry a bigger gun when hunting. lol

I use the Blackberry Bold but my son has an i-phone and loves all the apps.

I find the BB works great for texting, messaging and everything else business related, but I wonder if

I am missing something?

anybody??

Bummer, I was kinda hoping you guys would tell me they jump right outta the hole...

Does anyone here know where I might find a hydrographic map for that lake.

If I have to bring the gas auger and Vex, so be it.

GPS waypoints will be gladly accepted. lol

Thanks for the info so far.

A bunch of buds have booked a weekend of ice fishing at Ravenscroft Lodge on Jumping Caribou Lake in or near Temagami.

Just wondering if any of our readers has had any dealings with this outfitter, good or bad?

We're booked for next weekend Jan 29,30 & 31.

Don't know what to expect for fishing either, I've heard there is Walleye, Lakers and Pike.

No disrespect but...

 

May I ask where the "false or misleading" advertising was? They put out a flyer. They came through with the product. They sold it for what they said they would.

 

It sucks that you and your wife couldnt get it when you were there, but I dont see how this is possibly false or misleading, unless of course they told you they would have enough stock to feed the 35,000 people or they sold it to you for regular price instead of the deal?

As you probably already know, it's called a lost leader.

The only reason they are getting those few lobsters in the store is to draw the crowds, who by the way end up buying other items while they are there.

I saw an advertisement on tv leading up to boxing day for a tv from Future Shop, it was a Sony Bravia 40" lcd tv for $599.

My son said "I gotta get one of those" so we got up early, the store was opening at 6:oo am and we got there at about 6:25am.

Well guess what!!! that store only got 10 of them and they were all gone by 6:05, meanwhile the tv section was like a beehive with about 10 salesmen and 30 to 40 people trying to buy anything that was on sale.

People seem to get it in their heads that if they don't have that model their heart was set on, then they have to buy something and that is just what they were all doing.

These guys know their stuff.

By the way, we ended up buying a 42" LG LCD for about $50 more than the sale item lol so I guess their tactics work.

Well they told him today that Ford will have an answer for him tomorrow and if that doesn't work out in his favour he will do the arbitration thing.

At this point, even if they agree to fix it they told him he won't get it back until around the 18th of Jan.

If they aren't going to fix it and he goes to the next step, well who knows...

He is looking right now for another truck to replace this one until it is resolved, if they fix the Ford then he will have to sell the one he buys now and swap ploughs.

He has Ford financing and called them today and told them that until the issue is resolved he has stopped payments and taken the collision insurance off the truck. He left the fire and theft on it though.

Prey for no snow, I feel for the guy he is losing a lot of sleep over this.

Funny thing is, I used to laugh at him when he first started the business because he was using a GMC 1/2 ton and I was driving a Chevy Silverado HD Crew Cab. I kept razzing him to buy a real truck.

Well he went out and bought this real nice Ford Super Duty and he was so proud!!

The first time I saw it I said "what the hell would you buy a fricken Ford for"? I think he wanted to kill me haha.

Now I guess he understands what I was saying.

I'll keep you all up to date when I hear the outcome.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

He is pursuing the issue with Lou, the owner of the dealership.

Apparently the dealership is siding with him but Ford H/O engineering is suggesting foul play, saying that the

truck ingested something external through the intake or filter area which took out the turbo.

The funny thing is that the mechanic told him the secondary turbo blades or impeller are trashed but there is only a small nick in the primary or first blades or impeller. My question would be, how could anything have gotten by the first without destroying them?

Whether it happened at the stealership or it was done by him is the question right now.

I would have to agree with the few comments that suggested "prove it" or ante up and do the right thing!

He also told me that the plow has no relevance in his claim due to the truck being a Super Duty.

I will let you know what happens when I hear.

this is an interesting topic.. My dad owns a 2009 one ton dually 6.6 duramax. Its a great truck and so far no problems with the motor only simple things like door locks and such which gm also wouldn't warranty. Cheap parts from over sea's are the issue here, he has owned new gm trucks for the pas 15 years and never had this problem.

 

Other than that the truck is great crazy power especially with the programmer. It jumped it from 360-460hp the thing is wild now it will smoke all six tires.. Anyways what i am getting at is did this guy add a programmer by any chance cause that would deff void the warranty hands down. You have to be carefull with them and always de program the truck before you take it in for service at your dealership. If he failed to do this the dealership and ford would be aware of it.

 

And by the way anyone can program their truck its just plug and play.. So i'm thinking your buddy could have done this...

I can assure you that this truck has never had any chip or program mods done to it.

The friend is not capable of turning on his computer and I know that he would never

allow anyone to mess with his rig.

I also have a friend who has done the mods to his Silverado 2500 and the truck definately flew after the fact. That is until he blew the motor out of it about three months later.

It is similar to overclocking you computer, too much and you will fry the processer.

Haha well if that's the case, what's he got his knickers in a twist about?

He's talking about getting a lawyer and doing a lie detector test and on and on...

He is quite concerned and then on top of it, if it snows he's gonna lose some customers

cause he ain't got the gear to git er done!!

When the engine started making noise that he thought was not right, he took it to the dealership and was told that the motor was fine that it was normal.

Now because they have a record of him complaining about engine noise, they are assuming that he took matters into his own hands.

He has been told by Ford HO that the warranty will not be honoured.
