  1. This is indeed horrible news. He will be missed by many. A very sad day. I always enjoyed reading his posts. He had a knack for bring a certain reality to many disagreements between members. Although I never met him in person, I sure wish I would have.

  2. here's another you might like. my fiance and I are entering this one, and now that i've showed her your link she wants to do that one as well :)

    it's up at horseshoe resort

     

    Yea, we looked at the Warrior Dash but no one lives close to it. Either Kelso and Ottawa we all have free room and board. :rolleyes:

    There is also mud run too, but I am not sure if they have one in Ontario.

  3. Awesome... I assume you are going to the one in Toronto.

     

    Good luck.

     

    I was going to do the one at Kelso but its 2 weeks before the Camp Fortune (Gatineau) one which I am registered for. I am sure my body wont be able to do 2 in 2 weeks.

  4. So I had some health issues early on in the year. I am not old either. I had a scare and thought I was having a heart attack. I decided to do something. I have always been fairly active playing hockey until Junior A and always played rec after.

     

    So my scare made me think, why I am not treating my body the way it deserves to be treated. I started going to the gym in Late February. I go 5 days a week for at least an hour. Since then I have dropped just over 25 lbs of fat and gained about 5 to 7 lbs of muscle. I feel incredible. My goal is another 40-45 lbs.

     

    So a friend approached me and showed me this website and video. I was hooked. It was a Spartan Sprint. A 3+ mile run with obstacles. It looks amazing and looks extremely difficult. This will be my first 5K run ever. I dont ever remember being so excited to do something until this. It has this hook that will not let me go.

     

    So I ask, has anyone ran these in the past? Any words of advice or direction? Is anyone running the race at Mount Fortune in Gatineau or at Kelso in Milton?

    Mike.

  5. Thanks MuskyMike, like I mentioned never up there this early myself, but I seem to recall Dad mentioning they used to have a cable across the river at the mouth when it was closed for the walleye.

     

    No problem. Thats the best I know. And I know for a face they dont use the wire anymore. I have heard that though from some of the older locals, never seen it for myself. You can access the river at any time.

  6. MuskyMike, correct me if I am wrong but isn`t it just a sanctuary when walleye are not in season? I was never up there this early in the year.

     

    Thats what we all thought. But according to the CO that I spoke to it was something ridiculous like 10 months of the year. There are 2 visible signs in the river and 1 that he told me was there but for the life of me could never find it.

     

    The first is at the mouth of the river on the North side (left) going in. Never seen it before. The second is in the narrows (tiny triangle, very hard to read) and the third is at the end on the left side just beside the island (it may have been moved though).

     

    Anyhow, the area he said was from the first marker at the mouth to the tracks. But I have been pulled over by both OPP and CO in the river and its always been okay. I would love to speak with another CO that maybe could shed some more light on this.

  7. Welcome to Point Au Baril fishing. Its amazing when its amazing and its horrible when its horrible.

     

    I spent the first 21 years of my life fishing every day there from June through Sept and everyone weekend in between. Every chance I get I go there. This time of year is always tough there, especially if you dont know the water. The levels are low right now its hard to know patterns.

     

    Raf is right, up the river, just at the bend in the narrows is a Sanctuary. I had this clarified from a CO who told me I was fishing in a Sanctuary all the time. The Regs dont spell it out clear at all.

  8. I suspect he'll be replaced by Justin Trudeau in short time.

     

    I just hope he does not run on the same premise as his father. Not saying Pierre did nothing good, but the Liberal's need a leader, not a younger P. Trudeau. I hope the generations that are coming into the working world now choose a government of substance.

    I love election time :rolleyes:

  9. I too was one that bought the kit. Had a few that we sold in my parents store back in the day.

     

    They do actually work. Both for Pike, Smallmouth and Largemouth.

    The rattles dont do anything, but the standard med sized minnow was incredibly effective on Gbay.
