My little dogs get the no name stuff. The vet says its not bad, and better than some big names. No big dint in the wallet. Safe veggies are added to the kibble (no onions and garlic) occasionaly.

They also get fish twice a week.

Armed Forces Reserves have great survival training programs.

no rubbing in faces, but that did make me chuckle.... lady fish sure are poor man tarpon's nice acrobatics sorta like a chromer on crack...no I didnt make it to a sand bar in fact if Im thinking correct that sand bar is off the first causeway and now is a boaters destination....

 

Joey space mountain was the highlight to be honest.... I had a tough childhood and one of my fantasies was to ride that attraction call me a nerd but Im a bit of a sci fi sorta guy and....well its obvious attraction....getting to see a shuttle launch over it right after I rode it was a life long dream.....sorta welled me up inside if you knwo what I mean..add to that I rode it with my two sons who it ended up being thier first coaster experience just made it perfect

Kinda feels good finally being able to live out a couple of childhood dreams,

I'm glad you got down there and had the time of your lives. Great report.

RCNR

Insurance is not mandatory, but would be a wise choice. For under $25 a month I get good coverage. Sheared my prop shaft one year. No problem, covered, no question,

If you ever try fishing some tournaments you will find that insurance is mandatory.

Did a lot better than I did. I got the fresh air and a bucket of bait. Thank God I had fish leftovers in the fridge.

Everybody was too busy last night feeding to take any pics. On the menu was a generous mound of walleye, perch and smelt, served up with sides of fresh buns, sausage, beans, salsa and smoky fries. Topped off with trifle and apple pie. Washed down with liberal quantities of a strange amber beverage I'm not too familiar with

That salmon sure looks mouth watering

It can be such a blast fishing florida lakes with a good guide. WTG

You can also call your local police if the MNR is too busy. The police are allowed to enforce fishing and hunting regulations.

The OPP will enforce in a pinch, but you can forget about the local donut patrol. To quote one constable, "It's not in our jurisdiction".

Here's my answer to VERY expensive bait (if you can even get any).

Great little tool for when the ice is out. There is still lots of ice up in the Skokas.

The shop in Fesserton is the only one left in the area and gets to charge whatever they want in the lower Muskokas. Your only options south of Mactier are Midland or Orillia, and they know it.

Those are some fine looking trout you and your father caught. WTG

Great getting out Jacque. But what are you going to do for a fishing partner when she "finds" boys....

He just has to set rules. The boy has got to be able to fish and hold his own against the daughter. IF not I just embarass him to death. It has been a great tactic for weeding out the weenies and hormone jockeys.

Good on you for getting out and sharing some fun with your girl

I like having the full back behind me, and the existing seat was too low to the deck. so I replaced the seat post with a pedestal post.

My Mom is nearing 70 and a regular in my boat. Fishing has always been a part of our family's way of life and I'm proud to have Mom along any time. She tough's it out in the gnarliest weather (and she wonders why I'm such a stubborn cuss )

Be thankful for that Mom of yours, and cherish her always.

Unfortunately, scapegoating is a political way of life in Toronto. Anglers and Hunters are not welcome.

There are lots of other venues that don't have this problem. The Feb show in Mississauga, Buffalo, Niagara Falls Apr. 3-4, etc...

XXL please

Definately biggie sized

I just keep making more tackle,

and more tackle,

and more tackle........

Wifey wants to know when she can have the kitchen table back

I'm hoping to escape to the water real soon before I use the cat's tail for a muskie bait

I like my old Weber charcoal BallBQ. 10 years old, and I love being able to add hardwood chunks to the coals for some smoke. Spend more time BBQing on the waterfront than at home to justify a fancy grill.

I like to keep my fish fresh and alive til I get home. Clean them in the kitchen and green bucket for the waste. There were a few mornings in the summer and fall where the trash collector looked like he would be violently ill. A couple of collections go to the compost.

I don't put the scraps in the freezer. If you did that at a restaurant, the health board would shut you down. So how is it suddenly OK to do at home?

Hockey was invented in Nova Scotia. In Windsor to be exact.

Great report.

I am so green with envy.. Miss those sunsets.

I have my doubts about a limited species winter season. MNR lacks the manpower already for adequate enforcemen, and I doubt they are going on a hiring spree.
