  1. After thinking about it, I feel that the guy who started all the mess to begin with is just a malcontent who will never know happiness. It sounded like he'd been working there for a while and only complained to stir the pot. To me it's all about one idiot ruining something for the others and to cause chaos. It really has nothing to do with being offended by the religious aspect of the quick prayer, if it did why didn't he complain years ago? it's all about him using religion to screw the others over because he knows he can. Too bad management couldn't see through his crap and didn't just tell him to mind his own business or even better get rid of him altogether because clearly he doesn't play well with others.

     

    Your right its not that big of a deal.

     

    Did management not have the funds to fight it? Did they say let the workers sort it out? Did they fear a system wide ban on the prayer?

    Were the other workers harassing this complainer and he struck back? Is the complainer just a malcontent?

     

    Well whatever happened in that workplace it is not being revealed. One thing is certain. the guy who complained was able to work the system pretty good.

    Well better to have a system than no system at all.

  2. wow....a good heads up....im looking into a trip to nipissing....and after reading every single comment made on this thread...i will never give Snowfari my business.......ever

    Hawk

     

     

    Maybe the operators can turn it around.....he might even contact old customers and give a great discount on an improved service.

     

    Can a business turn it around?

  3. What are some of the features I should look for, for a 2 man ice shelter?

    I will most likely be dragging the whole thing by myself, so a sled base is a must, to hold my gas auger and tackle bag/rods in a bucket.

    Not looking for anything fancy, perferably light weight, and easy to assemble.

     

    So far I really like the Fish Trap Guide, sled, flip-over, resonably priced.

    Any other recommandations?

     

    Thanks

     

     

    Is your GF going with you? That would require extra options.

  4. THE NEWEST THING IS NO SMOKING IN YOUR CAR WITH HUMANS UNDER 16. Yes I said HUMANS. Why not dogs and cats and hamsters? Im not totally against this,but why the hell are we being told what we have to do????????????? Enough rage.Im going back to my happy place.

     

    Its OT but:

     

    The reason humans under 16: They are being subjected to a hazardous substance (cigarette smoke) and they cannot speak for themselves.

  5. Thanks for clearing that up Dale....I had a feeling the press was doing a bit of bending. I too think it took guts to release that fish. I guess it would have taken guts to keep it too :lol: . Not everyone can be happy all the time.

     

    The press has taken what you said and turned it into a World Record with an official weight of 65lbs. How do most people (and some people here) read that? I think they read it as Dale MacNair caught a World Record fish of 65lbs weighed on a scale.....he even said he knew it was a record as soon as he caught it.

     

    The press is a bit disrespectful of Ken O'Brien, but, that is what the press and salesmen do. I think there will be a few more Musky charters in the area next year....if I am close I will want to take a look at the replica for sure.

  6. OK.....people can just send me PMs: call me every name in the book and make insults. Let off the steam. I won't take offence. I WILL READ THEM, Please do not ruin the thread. I am not jealous or envious it is a big fish that required a lot of dedication to catch and is a notable accomplishment.

     

    I am part of everyone and I do not KNOW it is a WR. Suddenly Mr. MacNair seems to be saying it is and the press is saying it is and that this beast now has an official weight of 65lbs when it is documented that only length measurements were taken. Nothing like distorting the truth eh? A little here a little there.....but that is what fish tales are (yeah....I must be guilty too :rolleyes: )

     

    No doubt some tourism interests are helping to push this along. Yes, thanks to Mr. MacNair that fish is out there ready reproduce and or be caught again. Anyone want to go?

    PS: 2nd place official WR Muskie: http://www.worldrecordmuskiealliance.com/images/obrien.jpg with a directly measured weight of 65lbs......give the guy credit he earned it. His name is Ken O'Brien

  7. I read the article ( http://www.atv.ca/ottawa/news_66191.aspx ) and still find this hard to believe. Something must be missing in the report. If it is a complete and accurate article someone in CanadaPost management has lost their sensibilities.

     

    So they say: "Merci Seigneur pour la belle jounee" as they leave to begin their routes, (translatoin "Thank you Lord for the beautiful day).

     

    "God keep our land gloroius and free" that is in our anthem!

     

    I say let them keep saying it. If it makes them feel good and their jobs more tolerable then it is a good thing. If it does not do those things then who cares.....their next tradition could be "Thank you union agreement for having the courage when right to be able to tell management that they can stick it where the sun does not shine"

  8. I have a couple of friends that want to go there in Feb. and would like to rent a house, challet, (or good size condo). Just thought I'd check and see if anyone was connected.

     

     

    I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a columbian guy that drops buy there all the time on his trips up to Miami. I will send you a PM, Don't mention PM to the guy though he thinks that means Post Mortem and that gets him edgy. :lol:

  9. Hi all,

    Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a spinning reel for kids? I am thinking it might be the size of an ice fishing reel but with a larger spool :dunno:

    Thanks,

    Jim

     

     

    Do you mean like a short UL

     

    or an under the handle reel? (those exists with closed spools)

    Why do something unproductive like that copy/paste?

    A link would suffice or maybe the google ranking is good enough. Even better, an email to Jim78 :lol:

  11. The less environment polluting plastic the better. Lots of fish can be caught on stuff that doesn't off gas in your tackle box to make every thing else stink, including the box itself. Lots of fish can be caught without busted up used up plastics sitting on the bottom of the lake.

     

    Gulp is biodegradable, I stick with that. I have not seen any indications from Berkley or others about polluting chemicals in it. There is likely something not so good in it.

     

    Why don't manufacturers make enviro friendly baits? According to a BPS article they do but their physical qualities are low compared to the polluting plastics.

     

    So, Profisher I think you have enough real plastic in that picture.

    PS Where are those enviro college guys on this?

  12. I can't imagine how someone forgets their fishing rod. take it to the cops, some kid might be looking for it. A cynical adult won't bother checking with cops. I think you get it if unclaimed for 30 days right?
