Ice Bungalows! Best part was laying in bed while fishing! lol

Nice report and thanks for sharing! Sounds like you had a great week!

See, that is the thing though Paul, Mike D fishes with regular people on their home lakes. That is one of the things I find so refreshing about Lunkerville! I’m wondering if States such as New York do a lot more stocking of their lakes. Stocking for Bass in Ontario is pretty much non existstant from what I know.

Beautiful Dave and well done! My question is this: I have been watching quite a few episodes of Lunkerville shot in upstate NY on some beautiful lakes. How come they can fish from ice out to ice up for Bass and still have such great fishing?I mean the population is much greater than Ontario and yet with all the fishing pressure these lakes receive pre spawn, spawn, and post spawn, they seem to have real decent numbers of fish! Is the way we think here maybe outdated? I'm just putting it out there. When you see the longer fishing seasons in the Southern US states, you could argue that the fish spawn multiple times per year and have longer growing seasons. Upstate NY has a climate very similar to ours.

Where the hell are you fishing??? That is something I don't need to ever see, let alone on the river while fishing! lol

Do you ever use the Provincial Park one? It looks nice, but very uneven. A real pain when loading the boat back on the trailer.

Very nicely said Cliff. I never had the pleasure of meeting Sue in person, but from all of your posts over the years, I could tell she was someone special.

Geez David, wish I had heard of this earlier in the week! I never heard a thing about it.

2020 it is!

Who you calling a FF???? lol Ok, we will take my boat?

Nice B, real nice! lol

Not that it matters, but I only agree with half of the posts on this thread! I do agree that I have no faith whatsoever in the court system to sort this out fairly. In defence of Art (not that it is necessary or matters!) but in the case of a recent thread of mine, I requested that he shut it down. He respectfully obliged. Thanks Art, for all you folks do!

Fantastic Steve! Thanks for sharing!

NP, I was always taught to watch your pennies........the dollars will look after themselves!

Nice, I have never caught a Lake Trout. Definitely on my bucket list!

Sounds like a lot of fun Bill! Thanks for the tip!

Wayne (Irishfield) would be your best resource for attaching to the pontoon, but I would think a good adhesive (or epoxy) and some decent pop rivets like 3/16" or bigger would be best. I have never used the 5200 sealant, but it sounds like others have with good success.

It is not a urination contest! I said we can limp down to the water and fish together! Let it go....I have! I agree, have a good day Sir!

OI, I am relaxed! In 288 days, I will be more relaxed! Maybe one day we will limp down to the waters edge and fish together! ch312, thanks for your input! I will definitely read your link. It still does not relive them of terrible customer service skills!

Wow! You tell me I am "out to lunch", explain how you were not able to do your job properly (on more than one occasion), decide to "slag" your Mother, and then try to make me feel bad compared to the children in a hospital! Who is the miserable old man here? lol I'm not saying this is world ending problem! I'm also not saying that it is more important than all the other %&^#$ed up situations we are in! I am merely trying to find out if this is indeed legal. Thanks for your input.

No, Orangeville store.

Exactly Bill! Why should either CTC or Government get it?

Art, How about you send me the $1.30......thats Canadian......so maybe 20 cents American. Just put a note with it saying sorry for your aggravation, Canadian Tire. I'll go away happy and quiet! lol I feel better already!

Misfish, I hear ya! My Wife told me the same thing......go relax! lol I had a long week as well. I still believe what is wrong....is wrong! Principles mean a lot! God knows we pay enough tax at every turn in our lives. Grrrrrrrrr!

Folks, I always value the level headed replies on this board. I have a question to ask of you. First some background info. A few weeks ago, the alternator decided to no longer function on my old 16 year old Toyota Rav4 commuter vehicle. I ain't as young as I once was and decided to have someone else replace it. I called the fellow that has been doing my repairs for the last couple of years and also texted him with the details. I never got so much as a call back! Nice!! This place is really inconvenient for me to get to, but I liked his work and he was always fair. I often tipped him more than his bill. I had my truck to drive, so was not too urgent. That was two weeks ago. I called the local garage up the highway from me where I had spent thousands on repairs in the past. They quoted me $1,060.00 to replace the alternator!!! Crazy! So, finally being cheap, I decided to buy one and replace it myself. Picked one up on September 18th at Canadian Tire as I had to order it the day before and had it brought in. $214.99 + tax. Replaced it yesterday and it took exactly 35 minutes. I stopped in last night to drop off the old one for my $10.00 core fee. The guy at Auto Parts counter takes it back and says I have to go to Customer Service for my refund. (Strange, because I was able to pay for it at the Auto counter.) Whatever, just another line-up! The kid at the Customer Service Counter says "Here yo go, $10.00 refund". I says, hey wait a minute, you charge me $10 plus tax for $11.30, and I only get $10 back. I know it is only $1.30, but in principal, I say it is wrong. She says, sorry, that is the policy. I say, No way, that is illegal! You can't charge me tax and when i bring it back, I loose the tax. She calls several other people over and combined, they collectively could not do the math! I said if you didn't charge me the tax, that would be one thing, but you did, and I get it back. She finally finds a manager on the phone and he says "It is government policy". I tell he r to fetch this individual to speak to him in person. He slowly makes his way down to me and says"If you don't like it, contact your MP!" Does nit even look at me. He says there is a sign to this effect at the parts counter. I am so pissed and my dinner is getting cold at home. i take my $10 refund and tell the little &$%# to show me the sign. He clears off some papers and old flyers on the glass counter top and points to a sheet of paper taped to the counter explaining this. The guy that sold me the part and took the old one back was not even aware of this! He was involved the whole time!!! Am I out to lunch on this or what? Sorry for the long winded rant, but I am furious! I have never heard of such a thing! If I buy something, pay tax, and return it, I get the amount back including tax. He said if i brought the old one back at the exact same time as i purchased, this would not apply. I nearly went over the counter at him! How the hell would I be able to do that if I had not changed the part yet? If I had an old one with me, I would not be paying the core charge deposit!!
