Was a productive night for sure.

We all went home with a good number.

Fried up a batch while cleaning them today.

We're going out again this weekend Bruce if you want to join us again.

 

 

 

 

Yep, smelt was on the menu here as well. Casey had his feed, and a few left over for a snack tomorrow.

That might just be a plan.

Finally got out for some smelt.

It really stunk not beeing able to jig the smelt on ice this year. I more than made up for it last night.

. We averaged 20-50 smelt with each dip of the net. Not huge numbers, but enough to fill the big roast pan twice.

I just finished cleaning them all. Now to clean up the disaster in the kitchen.

The ship is sinking, and everybody else is to blame but Burke. What a joke. Must be prepping himself for a career in politics.

Sometimes you just gotta have some me time. The quiet to relax, settle down, and sort things out in your head. Don't hurt that there was a good bite on. Helps toyou forget the troubles, for a few moments anyways.

BTW, some right nice walters you got there.

That's one of the surprises inherent in fishing. You target one species and wind up catching another. Fish only know they are hungry and the bait looks good. They don't read the regs. 2 years back the son is fishing worms on a float for perch. Hooks a big ski. He was also there for the perch. Enjoy the fluke.

This is a very untrue statement we are world renowned at what we do ....offensive!!

Likes I said before, You can't teach a lubber nuttin.

Added my 2 cents.

Another shining example of our tax dollars protecting the resource against corporate greed. Thank you MNR.

Happens here all the time. Locals too cheap to take stuff to the dump or hazardous waste depot. We just lost 2 more local spots because of the dumping in Thorold.

I just have to plan my outings more carefully.

Maybe you should ask some people who actually know something about the subject. Someone with a coastguard or navy background. Maybe someone from TC.

The rules are simple, A salvager takes it under control before it hits territorial waters or you sink it as an hazard to navigation before it can interfere with the coastal shipping lanes. Can't teach a lubber nuthin!

Every Easter weekend, my kids and I have gone to small tribs for suckers or trout with varying success.

This afternoon the son joined me to continue our Easter hunt.

Armed with some canned corn, we went off to hunt for suckers so we could have some fresh catfish bait.

Try as we would we could not find any. All we found were these little freight trains.

A great little afternoon excursion.

Isn't it great Simon? Having your little man fishin side by side with you, watchin him grow.

There are 3 major refineries that distribute fuel to ALL stations in Ontario.. You're buying their gas without even knowing it.

But not at their mark up. Every Esso, Sunoco and Petrocan is pegged 2-3 cents more than the small chains here.

I heard about that this morning, have the japanese said anything about it?

Why? Under international maritime law a derelict ship is free to whoever wants to take it under right of salvage. Further, under maritime law any derelict considered a potential hazard to navigation may be sunk or destroyed as deemed necessary.

These are long accepted conventions.

I don't buy from those 3 anyways. Lots of small stations always selling gas for cheaper.

The U.S. Coast Guard says a derelict Japanese ship off Alaska is on fire and listing to one side, but has not yet sunk.

 

C'mon man. It is an old ship floating in the middle of the ocean and they can't sink it? What...are the trying to save bullets?

Using a few shells in target practice will sink it, but slowly. Certainly cheaper than guided missiles at a cost $250000 or more a piece. Of course, the USCG does not have access to that type of armament, just a bow mounted light gun

EASY now.....that has not been established has it....

 

Here in the U.S.A. you're innocent until proven guilty.....I just assumed it was that way in Canada too.

Only if you spent enough on your lawyer.

Well done Simon.

Amazing how nature can just up and reveal itself up close like that.

An occassional spritz of B-9 on the lawn should keep it from growing for weeks (lol)

Where is Ruby , the rescue dog that you adopted?

It was necessary to return the beagle to the shelter. Her previous owner must have beaten the dog a lot because it was terrified of my cane, and would yelp and howl with every bump and noise. Not the best circumstances in an apertment. The fellow running the shelter did not realize she was that badly spooked either, but Molly was happy as all get out to be back at the shelter.

A Newfie won a fishing boat in a raffle and tows it home. His wife looks

at him and says, "What in the name o' Lard Jasus are you gonna do with

dat, bye? We lives on a farm. There's nary a bit o' water within 75 miles o' 'ere."

He says, "Don't care. I won 'er and I'm gonna keep 'er."...

Several days later the Newfie's brother comes over to visit. He looks

out in the field behind the house and sees his brother sitting in a

fishing boat in the middle of the field with a fishing rod in his hand.

He stands at the edge of the field and yells out to him, "What the frig are you doin'?"

His brother calls back, "I'm fishin'. What the frig does it look like I'm a doin'?"

His brother yells back, "Lard tunderin' my son, it's people like you

that gives us Newfies a bad name, making everyone think we're stupid.

If'n I could swim, I'd come out there and kick you in the friggin arse."

Cute pics.. But enough that that. Where are you getting the SMELTS!!!

Not running heavy yet.

Sorry for the lopsided pics. I pre edited and rotated the pics but Photobucket seems screwed up at the moment.
