Go to your local pharmacist. Tell him what you want the containers for, and see if he can either give you a source, or if he can order in a case for you

We all know that government is not going to stand up and take off the kid gloves.

 

Stop stocking the Nippissing and French, remove MNR supports and provincial subsidies for those fisheries, and let the NFN manage the fishery for a few years. They will learn to make it work or collapse. If they go to the province for help, it's negotiable. This approach has been taken before some years back

This is nothing new. Bombings, targetting women and children, bystanders, have gone on non stop since '39' and earlier. What's new is the fact that this behaviour has finally made it across the pond, and hitting North America in a big way

The biggest mistake we have made is this. We welcome all sorts from the war torn regions of the world. People with stronger allegiances to their old world than to this new world that took them in. They bring their disputes grievances and wars here and carry on in their wars at our expense. There needs to be tighter restrictions and screening, and thinking long and hard before welcoming folks from regions caught up in long term war and feuds.

We waste too much energy following this tabloid drivel and the pop stars they focus on.

Done.

 

 

Sees every week the govts have another fee hidden up their sleeves

I can remember ice fishing the side channels a number of years back during perchfest. It was also my son's first, of many, experiences with going through the ice

i'm feelin kinda old at the moment

Yuck.

 

Unfortunately it happens all over the great lakes.

Not just the Great Lakes. A lot of your wild B.C. salmon swim through the same sewage, as do lot of commercial fish on the East Coast

That's quite a good quality painting---an excellent choice of subject, too. Isn't there a dam where the Severn flows into Pretty Channel, and a rapid where it outflows into Six Mile?

The rapids flow from Pretty Channel into Lost Channel, then 6 Mile flows out into Gloucester Pool via White's Falls ( we used to body surf it in the day) and a little known place called the jacuzzi hole

A true fisherman knows how to catch all species, under any conditions. I consider myself a true multi-species fisherman. Its hard to fit it all in, but. I like to fish for everything.

I may have a daily target, but I'm game for whatever is biting.

I've always managed to have gear to give to kids. Some of it my own. Some I've refurbished from yard sales. I also buy a few kids combos for the local charity @ Christmas. Biggest kick was taking 3 combos to one family's home on Christmas eve late in the evening wearing my float coat and Christmas cap. The mom made sure the kids were peeking through the window as I Ieft the gifts by their door. The stories I heard from those children still leave me grinning from ear to ear.

Another option is the OFAH Tackleshare program.

Sure looks like pretty channel from the south point

I am aware, I have it myself, but primary progressive, a constant progression. I believe like 85% or so are diagnosed with relapsing remitting, LOL I had to be one of the lucky ones!

 

Needless to say retirement isn't going the way I had planned? Oh well, stuff happens, I guess it was my turn! LOL

I remember you had mentioned your condition, just not how long you had been dealing with it. You have my whole hearted sympathy. Amazing how our visions of retirement can be drastically altered by circumstance

Fine looking sow

She was in bad shape from MS for a lot of years, Oh No!

Sadly, one can linger for decades with MS. Do good for months in remission, and then get slammed down hard again. Been watching friends of ours struggle through it for 15 and 30 years

I fish shoreline where a long rod will only get broken. 5' ultralite with 4lb mono

There goes another piece of my childhood. Always wanted to be a member of the mouseketeers, but in the 60's membership in the Mickey Mouse club was only available in the USA.

They lool like black crappie to me.

Is that a white perch?

Awesome catch anyway you look at it!

Almost all blacks. There is a white in the sink pic.

Yes that is a white perch. We often find a few in the 10-12" range.

I'm still waiting for the Leafs to play a consistent 3 periods of hockey, else they can't last long in the playoffs. Reimer can only do so much.

Those white crappie aren't caught much in Ontario. Good fishing!

Generally, you don't see them north of the Great Lakes watershed, and a couple of pockets on the Ottawa R.

Dave, maybe we should invite this fellow to the Stelco Fishing Club awards night....feed him some beers till he gives up some crappie secrets...

I hope you got deep pockets lol

Despite the high winds we still had an OK day. Spot #1 is slowing down now as the bullheads and gills start moving in, but other spots are just starting to warm up.

The boys' collection for a feed tonight

This young girl insists in calling me Santa. Could be..... She has this one goose trained. It follows her around every time she visits the hole.

ALthough you folks to the north are still waiting for ice out, we've had 3 weeks of good crappie fishing, with the best yet to come.

Those who expect 100 fish per hour, aren't usually willing to put in the time, and leave frustrated. The son and I on the other hand....

A lot of success is coming on a new line of jigs we started producing, and experimenting with, this spring. The son even started making his own floats. Gotta admit I'm having way too much fun.

It's called a dollar at par with the US green back.... some think it's a great thing.. it's NOT! Bring back the 75 cent dollar.

We did even better with the 65cent dollar. Some industries have declined by over 2/3's

My Mrs can't understand why I'm roaring with laughter
