  1. A Christmas Carol Ditto, My Family and I always watch it Christmas eve, and Also watch its a Wonderfull life. I think I could Quote every line from either movie from memory LOL... "Are there no Prisons, Are there no work houses?" LOL!
  2. Big Bay I imagine...I hope LOL! I was fishing Picton Bay in the boat Last Monday. There was Ice on Big Bay, but didn't look great at that point.
  3. Well, It "was" a light hearted discussion but thanks for the Sermon Father smally... Who's arguing? Not me? I'm not saying its legal bud...I get it Just saying its not gonna land anyone in jail. You wanna have a beer in a canoe, then be prepared to pay $110 My appologies for replying in a freindly manner to a post I started Take a valume dude,
  4. Unless your willing to pay $110 fine and dump your beer out "if" caught of course. You won't loose your license or be charged with DUI for having a casual brew in a canoe, any more then you would sitting in a floating chair or even sitting on the beach, or on the banks in a folding lawn chair for that matter. Its not legal, but then again neither is J walking.... You'll get a fine, but your not going to loose you licence, have your insurance sky rocket, or spend time in jail. A beer in a canoe may end up costing you $110 though...thats an expensive brew I tell ya
  5. Looks like a decent fall for ya Also nice to see Ice reports rolling in! Thanks for sharing. Cheers,
  6. Just for the record... There are a lotta points being missed LOL.... (Lots folks are passionate about this one I see) The thread I started refered to "a" Beer in a non motorized boat...not being smashed drunk in a canoe, and trying to pee Thats something different all together, but point taken.
  7. Congrats on your new home, Jealous I am LOL.... The country has been calling me for a while now. Can't wait for the Local reports come summer time
  8. Truth be told... A beer in the canoe/paddle boat won't harm a soul(unless of course you get fined $110 for a drink in a non residence) A dozen in the wrong situation might though. Caution, moderation, and common sence is the key. My query was pretty specific, and I recieved an answer I'm comfy with. A beer in at anchor in a non motorized watercraft is not legal, allthough its not going to cost me my licence either Cheers,
  9. Ah... I feel like a lush continuing the thread but I seriously want to know LOL... So what if the person is not Impared? One drink, in a non motorized, non pleasure craft, at anchor, not under way....perhaps in a floating chair
  10. That makes sence, but I'm talking a Canoe, Paddle boat, plastic non motorized punt. Not sure if that clasifies as "pleasure craft"....I don't beleive you need your Pleasure craft Licence to drive any of the above right? Makes total sence wayne, But could you be nailed for DUI is what I'm wondering? heck I've had a beer in a canoe in the park a few time... I know its a faux pas for some, and camp tradition for others right? I could easily see a fine, for drinking in Public for sure or some other similar fine, but a $150 fine beats the heck outta a lost license right?
  11. Curiosity has the best of me and perhaps this topic has been done before but for myself this is a bit hazy... Maybe there are others who would like to know as well? I could be wrong but, Can I not drink a beer, while not under power, and at anchor? If I'm not driving, not over the limit, not under power or mobile. Especially in say a canoe or non motorized water craft? Or a water craft with only an electric motor....is this grounds for DUI? I'm not talking about getting crap faced and operating a boat I'm saying one beer, while at anchor in a non motorized boat. If this is indeed illegal how do the rental house boats get away with being allowed to drink while at anchor? Or any boat parked in a Marina, or anchored in a back bay some were Just curious how that works?
  12. Nice year end report bud, As always sharing the boat with you was was a blast. We'll find that school on Quinte next time...we got a better game plan
  13. True... Especially in a recessed economy. If Business see's an opportunity to seize back a few lost points for the bottom line...they will The whole plan is flawed. Like I said way back on page 2 If we want to see the economy flourish....LOWER Taxes loosen the grip on our Wallet, and we'll spend. Us Canadians like to buy stuff when we have money to do so.
  14. That is WILD!!! I've only once ever seen anything like that and it was not half as cool as that! Once on a lake in algonquin we saw what we thought was fog in a strait line comming across the lake, as it drew near we realized it Was an insane localized down pour LOL...Luckily because of its slow moving speed we had time to head to shore, and prepare. But your pictures are WAY cooler then the rain storm I saw. Cheers,
  15. Tomatoes vs Tomatos and I could't agree with both statements more. Heres 3 statements to consider: 1- A revenue Neutral Tax makes no sence for the Government. 2- An extra tax for the working man is just kicking us when we're down. 3- A population with 5-8% less to spend in the economy is not good for Business. So why put the taxes up again? My guess is as good as yours but I'm betting that the Tax is not neutral as they claim.
  16. Dude, If by being pissed off at the addition of yet another tax that is going to pay for things our "other" taxes are supposed to have covered in the first place Then I guess I'm quite happy to say....heck yea I'm resorting to "sun Media Hyperboleing" Correct me if I'm wrong but Daltons biggest promise that got him re-elected was his promise of no tax increases right?...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. And then along came a "health care premium" and now the "HST" We're getting hooped twice... Sorry all the hoopla and loop holes and rebates are crap. Its just garnish on the plate Dalton is useing to cover the crap he is serving. There is no way ANY new taxes are good for a struggling economy, or the average working man. Forgive me for the outburst but geeze this is ridiculous....how is any increase to our cost of living a good thing?
  17. Give that man a cigar.... It really does not matter how you slice it...we the consumer pay, and pay the taxes, and then pay some more. And the more we do, the less we have for commerce. Simple mathmatics... You don't need to be a rocket scientist to get it. The Liberal plan has so many rules, loop holes, and jargin to decifer it has everyone confused, but at the end of the day the common denominator is the working man pays more tax which leaves us with less money in our pocket and nothing in return.
  18. There is no benefit what so ever unless your part of the government. Regardless of how you slice it we the consumer pay more money to the government.... Its dumb. We're already taxed to death, and our cost of living is about to take another hit. Here's a dead simple reason why I think its dumb More money to the Government = less money in my pocket = less money to spend in the economy = deeper recession Big business or little business alike will see a hit when we stop spending an extra 5-8%/year If You want to see us spend our way out of recession...LOWER taxes But this whole HST crap has nothing to do with the economy anyway....its all about paying some of the debt the liberals have dug into before they call the next election(just trying to minimize the dammage IMO)
  19. Well... I really don't think I could choose just one for the same reason I live in Canada. I like the changing of the season. I like switching it up, and that includes the water I fish, not just the species.... Be it an open lake troll for BOQ Pickerel, a Drift for steelies, top water Bass, or hucking giant baits for toothy critters I'm in... But, I suppose I'd have to go with Brookies for now if I had to choose one... I enjoy the chase as Solo eluded to, but I also enjoy the opportunity to choose a release or a feed that Can burn a memory of its own that just haunts you like a drug.....can't wait to get my next fix. Cheers,
  20. There are cougars in Ontario, there is no doubt, the only thing up for debate is if they are naturally reproducing. I have not heard if the MNR has released an official stance on this yet? Personaly I'd say they are, based on the volume of confirmed sights. If they are not there were ALOT of pet cougars that escaped their pens. Now... Insert the jokes cause we know they are comming
  21. Caught was had to be about 40 yards of line and I thought it was your average snag of garbage until the line started tugging back ended up "almost" catching about a 4lb smally until she let go of the goby that was on the 4o yards of line I had snagged LOL! It was the most confusing fight ever LOL... First I was snagged....then there was just some weight on the hook when the snag came loose....then as I started to pull in the 40 yards of line I had a huge pull, and a quick fight that lasted long enough to see the bass spit the goby...then I realized the goby was alive and tugging LOL! Wish I caught the smally but hey its still a good story.
  22. I'd agree that... I've heard the same thing about luring dogs away. Coyotes are sneaky, but also a bit cowardly by nature...where there is one there are more(usualy not far in toe)
  23. Yup, That pretty much sum's it up IMO
