If I had a penny for every view, id be posting from costa rica.....

Page views since late 2005.... wow... Must be the stellar users and mods!! Thanks all!!

Yes ... quite amazing. Lets keep it like that!

Thanks... Now ya let the cat outta the bag.

Weve got a request in for the member menu... see if we can do something there,.. and if your having trouble with something, try a different browser like joey.. and were also gonna look at an extra mobile one soon.

Well the other thing that needs to be done is the lake has to loose its sygma as a walleye lake. Thats what alot of tourists come from, but theres also fantastc pike small & largemouth bass fishng and more perch than can be consumed. Ive already had clients tell me they are going to promote the place as a veritable grab bag of great multi species fishing. If im not mistaken, a few years back OOD named Nipissing as the best bass lake in Ontario!

Thats a fact. And thats the real problem. Only one of the 5 or 6 things that are hurting or could help are actually being addressed in any way with real action.

LOL.. dont you pick on Joey.. she highest paid staff we have!!

So does jaden!!

Id bet your co workers are used to strange behaviour...

YES!! Ideas exactly like that.

Need some ideas quick!! So Jaden is presenting a thing on invasive species tomorrow and shes got the content all written up. She has to give some sort of a demonstration along with it.. but of course I cant get my hands on an invasive species this time of year.. It has to be something she can pass around the room to demonstrate what an invasive species does.. ie a girl thats doing one on asthma is passing a straw around so people can feel like what it feels like to breath with difficulty... i need something similar that gets some sort of point accross... any one got any ideas.. im stumped....

Not sure.... its working for me???

I have a feeling they are not done... LOL I was close!!!

LOL. well thanks...well see.. Yup.. its not like they don't have the dough .. as well as corporate shareholders now.

So.. after digesting a bit more on the lake and talking to alot of people here. I've had some interesting points brought to my attention, that I thought would make an interesting conversation. I may be off base here, so please set me straight if I'm missing something. ( Please no native bashing here.. not what this thread is about - ill just delete your comments ) #1 From everyone I talk to the halving of the limit was on the very bottom of the list of MNR options. The MNR themselves have told stakeholders that it would not have much if ANY effect on the fishery. So why would they do that?? #2 Alot of the tourists that come up, especially out of province ones, buy a week long conservation license and stay at a lodge or cottage resort. So they would get to keep 2 pickeral for shore lunch, as believe it or not, most tourists are not interested in dragging much fish home. #3 So now that the Conservation License will be 1, most people will be forced to buy a regular license if they want to have a shorelunch (2 under the slot fish each) raising the license fee from. 29.40 to 51.28. Basically raising the $ value of licenses sold on Lake Nipissing by 40%, which goes into the general fund and will not be spent on Lake Nipissing cause the MNR is vehemently against stocking. They assure me it doesn't work. Personally I don't know that it does or doesn't, what I do know is that it cannot hurt. And it sure as hell can't hurt tourism, which for our area is one of the biggest sources of jobs, property taxes and general taxes up here. #4 Historically regulations that have been pushed on Nipissing first have managed to make there way across the province. If I'm not mistaken (and I may be.. once again set me straight) we were the first to have a limit of 4, and the first to have slot sizes. So is a walleye limit of two only a matter of time for the rest of the province?? Even if you don't fish Nipissing that alone ought to give you something to think about. Just my thoughts...please keep the comments civil... please.

OK.. First the announcement.. http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/speculation-rife-ahead-of-facebook-s-mystery-announcement-1.1114843 Now... my prediction.. I'd bet $$ its a search engine.... Last year (or so) when Google came out with Google+ it was a direct hit at Facebook. Facebook didn't have a search engine that went much outside of Facebook, and now Google was aiming directly at them with all of Googles muscle (Google + which is for most a failure.) Ya see I've been saying for years that all FB had to do to take on Google is enable a search... or even partner with Bing... Now we see FB on our users list spidering us when we've never seen it index our site before... If you want to do an internet search .. you have to leave Facebook to do it. If they can come up with a good search engine, (and now that Google has really pissed off a bunch of webmasters just like me) I wont hesitate to use it instead. Cause then they can.. #1 highlight Facebook pages like mine in their results (keeping people on Facebook, generating more $$) then serve their own results, #2 as well as selling ads on the side which is the MAIN source of Googles revenue. Ive been saying for a couple of years now that gGoogle has to be careful.. and I think FB is about to take a shot back... Also.. you make a tablet or a phone... you "build" a search engine. This is my prediction!! Glad I've been putting lots of effort into FB. I know its not fishing, but this stuff is unfortunately important to me and should be to anyone whose in business.. It will be interesting to see if I'm right.

bottom left - change theme....

Very sad indeed.

Methinks evert thing is under control.. and Lew... it took me a min to figure out FWIW meant... darn it... so ya know more dan you tink!

Thanks Roy, good job... weve got another version like this in the pipe.. we will see what the "spacing" is in that one... I dont know that there is much modification we can do to this... may just have to deal.. Once again, Roy took care of this.. kudos bud.

Absoultley!!!

Yup. Ill be there this year... starting to gather prizes.. if you can help let me know!!

Ikll be at the spring show this year. Missed it last year.. its a great time of year for Monique and myself to take a break!

Ya. well to be honest.. I just need pictures and videos of normal guys (not too many around here..lol) using the stuff i sell and getting me pictures/videos of catches, so i can show them with the products im gonna sell.. so yes promotional staff.. maybe more like product boosters... The majority is gonna be the mainstays of fishing so no new fancy shmancy 10 dollar lures.. not what Im or my store is gonna be about.
