  1. A couple of things I dont understand about this. Whether Whetung is allowed to plant intentionally and and if selling the rice commercially are within his treaty rights. I read an article recently in the local paper that said he was going to be reintroducing wild rice to Rice lake. Why would he choose Rice Lake - probably due to the huge fishing tourism that people will be up in arms about losing that business. If he was truly in this to be in the wild rice business, why wouldnt he plant Buckhorn or Chemong for obvious reasons. He wants Rice Lake due to the impact it would have on the fishing tourism and will get more attention from the government. Just like anything dealing with Native Canadians this will take many years to resolve. By that time South Pigeon will be choked from the dog leg at the river all the way to the passage leading to Gannons narrows. Who knows about Rice Lake. Hes looking for a payout IMO, otherwise why would he be thinking about planting Rice Lake?
  2. O-ring Bait tape Zip tie If you are using "real" senkos - they will only last a fish or two no matter what you do. I like yum dingers in their place.7
  3. Love the fist pump at the end.....lol.
  4. Kawarthas fish are long and lean. Most wait awhile before packing on the weight. Simcoe fish are tanks and dont compare to Kawarthas so Ive heard.
  5. Probably wont get a chance to ride in one, seems like one would take a pounding in the chop and get seriously wet. Bass boats are glass for a reason. Unless price is lower than a comparable glass boat, which I highly doubt with Lund, not much to see here.
  6. Didnt you used to buy boats in the states, import and then flip them here for a profit? Strange question for someone that did it on a regular basis.
  7. Very sorry for your loss. Let her positive contributions and never give up attitude be your guide in temembering her.
  8. I simply dont understand these "designer" mixes. Sure they are non-shedding, but what other defects are introduced to the mix. I guess only time will tell. A mutt is a mutt in my opinion and I dont understand the premuums on these ones. You can get a great dog at the shelter, but if you go the route of a using a breeder, pick a reputable one.
  9. Any scortched plugs or metal debris on them? If not, prob not a piston issue.
  10. So very sorry for you and your family. Celebrate her for the amazing fighter she is.
  11. Peterborough bassmasters has run a tourney on the Sunday of opening weekend the last two years out of Golden Beach resort on Rice Lake. It may be returning in 2015 so stay tuned.
  12. The perrelli scorpions they put on the F150s were an embarrassment. Mine were cracked to rat poop after 4 years and less than 35,000 k.m. Having said that I put on Wrangler Duratracs. Not the cheapest out there but great reviews and locally supported by Currie Tire which is a great business.

  14. First of all I have long been a proponent of a standard cost for fishing licences - no breaks for conservation licences OR seniors. Sorry to those more "experienced" than I. This is coming from a guy who voluntarly used to buy a sport licence when a conservation would have done even through Uni when some years I didnt even fish. I support that if all the funds stay within the MNR for fishing related costs and ENFORCEMENT of laws and regulations. Many years ago the MNR got away from enforcement and into management. How many threads on this board are people bellyaching about the LACK of enforcement of the regs? This fee is a step in the right direction. What do you "get" for it - you get to fish some of the best freshwater in the World. I dont want Ontario to wind up like the UK where you have to pay thousands a year to private clubs to fish carp. What if someone said the two bucks was going directly to fight Asian Carp or to hire a few new COs to enforce the regs? Thesefunds will be staying in the MNR coffers and that is a huge step forward. Fishing in Ontario to me is worth a heck of a lot more than what I pay for my card ans sport license even with a couple more dollars tacked on.
  15. Big Cliffs apology aside this thread would have been locked after the initial post on every other board I am a member of. Its embarrasing to read some of the comments.
  16. Good going sounds like you are on track to quit. If your friend respected you and was aware you are trying to quit he wouldnt light up in front of you. It isnt about you asking him not to light up it is about him respecting your decision to quit.
  17. Glad the surgeon has broad shoulders. Thoughts are with all of you.
  18. If you are just buying it to resell why does it matter?
  19. Thoughts are with your wife, you and the family.
  20. You are kidding right.....lol. Bob just went to the manufacturer that wrote the biggest cheque. I feel like he's a liar now for talking up shimano for so many years. He couldn't have liked the product that much if he left for the dollars. About the reel policy - too bad but it doesn't change my opinion about the gear. Top notch. Not many people use the samegear for more than 3-5 years anyway.
  21. So sorry for your loss, Lew. Nothing harder than saying goodbye.
  22. I would never buy a boat without being able to water test it and have it gone over by a good mech. Winter sale combined with a quick decision and a boat that seems to be priced very well - something seems off.
  23. Too bad for his kids. Lost a dad for being a selfish drug addict.
  24. Shimano is top notch. I'm in the process of switching over all my gear. You can't go wrong with the $20 reel service. They will replace anything that needs replacing and give the reel a good cleaning.
