I'd call Fenwick.

I picked up some Orcas from wholesalesports.com. Good price and they actually had inventory (other places I checked didn't).

Sounds like rainy days are good luck for you. Congrats on the new house!

Beauty. Looks like a nice boat. Galvanized trailer too? That's a bonus.

Though maybe they already change the rules for tournaments for other species...i don't know much about it.

Just playing devil's advocate....maybe they were worried about setting a precedent that would be expected for tournaments for other species? (around changing the rules in general to accommodate tournaments, not that specific one). As for the economic benefit...I'd bet it's not that much greater than a kid's hockey tournament. I doubt this was going to be bringing bazillions of $ to Ontario.

btw - good for you, Cliff. Sounds just about perfect.

Go to the other side of the island and the season may be open. I'm pretty sure they alternate seasons.

How'd the sheephead taste?

49.5 sounds pretty good to me!

Nice fish Mike. That's a beauty.

Sad to see it die, but what are you going to do with a bear that seems comfortable enough in-town to hang out for 2 days? Move it somewhere so it can go into another town? The cops did the right thing.

That's a nice looking bear, Lew. Must be a treat to have her nearby.

Nice catch! That's a super pretty fish

I know I'm missing out big time fishing wise. Just hate fishing in the wind, especially solo. Would rather find a sheltered area or just stay on shore.

If there's a good chop I don't bother at all. If the point of fishing is to relax and have fun, why fight waves?

Walk past a den maybe? I can't imagine a coyote trying to eat a person... (yes, i know it happened in Nova Scotia, but assume that was a complete outlier)

Some lobster fishermen use diesel soaked rags in their traps. A lobster is not a walleye or trout, but assume the concept is similar.

The oil would likely help, not hinder. And i'm not kidding.

I have humminbird and really like it. Friends have Lowrance and think the same about theirs. The Raymarine and Garmin models at that level are pretty good as well. If I didn't want side imaging, probably would have gone with one of them.

Looks like a lot of fun. Need to try that some day.

I think people should be responsible for saving on their own. You shouldn't need a gov program to force you to save (and let them manage your savings on \your behalf).

Didn't OPG sell off Bruce Power?

Ha. Wasn't saying you should be scared. Just saying you likely do have coyotes nearby(your post above suggested you thought you didn't).
