That's just plain wrong.
Figures though. It takes a wog from Australia or New Zealand to come up with these kinds of stunts. There veins are half and half Fosters

Nothing like hooking up with a good friend, chewin the fat, and catching a few fish in the bargain.

Grayling
Arctic Char ( My buddy Dan would send a case down every year)
Pacific Halibut
BC Chinook
Sturgeon
Tarpon
Snook
Tuna
Big sharks ( I've caught a few small mud sharks down East)

Congratulations to you both

Easiest thing to do is get out a map and draw out a 100km radius circle. From Hamilton that should give you 50-60 different bodies of water to discover and explore with that small boat. Just up the mountain from you are Mountsberg, Valens, Puslinch, Belwood. The GRCA have a a few spots that aren't bad either.

You and yer Dad will just love it here. Welcome.
So who does the fish cleaning?

Nice looking beastie that is.

We got the van back today. After the taxes $1250 for the rebuild. A lot better than the original estimate.
To all those who offered their advice and assistance......... THANK YOU. Its a great group of people here at OFC

I would second Bernie's suggestion. The only real outdoor exposure for many of these kids is Scouting. I also spent many years proudly wearing scarf and beads. Some of those youth, now full grown, are my 'part time sons'.
There is also Big Brothers.

The Toronto area CA has some great fishing guide maps available. They are always at the Sportsman's show coming up next week.

PS.. Cases of Crystal and IPA... brings me right back to those days standing out in front of the beer store trying to get someone to buy beer for me!!!!LOL
Those cases hearken from the days when beer was drunk by the quart. Good old IPA or Molson Blue, and Pilsener for the Labatt's types

Sorry to say, it should be expected if you were subjecting to that type of duty.
Minivans are not utility vehicles, they're car chasis and drivetrain with a van body on them.
Not trying to dis you or your vehicle... just a fact.
Quite right. The vehicle was a compromise, when bought, to meet family and household needs.

caravan I am guessing? Pretty famous for that.
Get a tranny from the wrecker if the van is an 02 or older.
04 Freestar. Up til this week it has been a great vehicle hauling the boat and timber and 180,000 kms on the dial

Nothing like chipped blades, sheared pins and lost blades
It's happened a few times.
Also note that the hex bolts for the Swedebore are soft metal and will strip or shear off easily. Especially when someone gets an auger stuck in the ice and tries to force it out.

Well, Here I sit. Totally bummed out
Son had the van in that wicked rain Saturday and, long story short, out in the middle of nowhere, the van loses power and the gears won't engage.
I was hoping electrical fault, sensor, etc... something reasonably simple. Not so lucky. They figure the coupling(?) snapped and want $3000 to do the fix. I near about crapped myself. Wife and I have been ill for some time now and all we have is the disability cheque to get by on. There's no way we can come up with that scratch.
Asked around for a second/third opinion or estimate. Now we can get the trannie repaired/rebuilt for $1500 (we hope) by only replacing what needs replacing
Of course it means being stranded for another week around the house. 2 weeks back we replaced a smashed out window.
The silver lining? More time to pour and paint jigs, tie bucktails and harnesses. I guess I'm going to have to sell a lot of these things to help pay this bill
Seein as trouble comes in threes, I'm really dreading the third roll of the dice

I am so sorry Bernie. My old girl is 13 and going blind and it worries me. I get that lump just thinking about it, and I've hated the times I've put my closest companions down over the years.
You gave him his peace. It's the best you could do for him.

Wheel weights are just fine Cliff. A lot better than some of the casing lead I've used. At least it does not flame up.
-
Those are 2 fine looking whitefish.
-
I'm just plain jealous I am
That is some fun fishing you are having up there.

Binbrook conservation.
Binbrook was closed for the season as of March 5th and will not be open until May.

Have to admit I have met a couple of poor chiro's, but mine is golden. Works hand in hand with my doctor. I've done way more damage to my neck and shoulders than I like to think about and over the past 10 years Ray has kept the parts working without steroids and pills.
In all medical fields, like any other profession, there are gems and there are bad apples.

As Alice Cooper sings, "Welcome to my nightmare".
There is no known cure for the addiction you now suffer from. Withdrawal symptoms can be near fatal to you and those around you.
Best scenario is to continue with a treatment plan of at least 1 on water therapy session per week. In a bad week you may need 4-5 treatments to avoid ill effects.
Remember to nourish yourself properly for the physical demands of these treatment sessions. Copious amounts of coffee (water in summer), and keep a readily available stash of jerky or pepperettes on hand. Liberal amounts of draft, lager or ale, in the evening, will replenish your carbs adequately and hold back the DT's til morning.
Of course, you have taken the two most important steps already.
1) You have admitted you have a problem
2) You have joined an encounter group; OFC

So that's the secret ingredient, eh?

Niagara River Shore fishing
in General Discussion
Posted
As for Niagara charters send a pm to Cast adventures. Paul does lower river charters. As for fishing the Niagara from shore. There are way too many options. Lower river is the Queenston ramp with limited space. On the upper river there are spots from Chippewa to Ft Erie along the Parkway. Best thing would be to stop in to speak to Denis at Fishin Niagara. He's on the Parkway in Ft Erie. Take Qew to Bertie st and down to the river, turn L.
