so you have the right to go out on dangerous roads and be rescued but not fisherman because you only care about yourself.........and again they do tell people the roads are bad and you ignored it ...the fisherman ignored it too ..by the way more firemen have been killed on the road rescuing people then by rescuing fishermen............. but back to my only real argument if a fisherman has to pay then you do too

so if you get in a car accident when road conditions are bad, you expect to get a bill for being rescued? i think that along with the safety of your life would be enough of a hint to stay off bad roads..... I have no problem with paying for rescue as long as every person pays for every situation not just fishermen you just gave approval for fees for being a fisherman and I think that is wrong

as long as everyone has to pay equally for services, I have no problem with them paying......but this was a fine the township imposed and do they do that for every rescue everywhere...no, this is a fishermen tax..get used to it

I live in the area and I did hear warnings from fire/ police and the local tv station every single day last winter the fact that you did not hear/see all the warnings all winter long gives those guys an out..maybe they did not hear the warnings, after all you missed them all winter long and sure the guys that got rescued twice b are stupid and that was mother nature tiring to remove them from the gene pool.. but you are still wrong, there were so many warnings all winter long, it was like a nagging wife........... and to not loose sight... the point is ...if fishermen have to pay..then all rescues should pay.....damn fishermen are becoming a cash cow for townships theses days and you guys are playing right into they hands.. hey anglers park here...answer lets charge for parking for vehicles with trailers...a park with a ramp..lets charge for launching (no one else gets charged for using the park) guys are fishing the river answer lets make the buy an Essa fishing license to access the river ( anyone else can access use the river free but have a rod and you pay) a guy can bring their kids and dog and the can play in the river throw sticks in the river(so you can fish) and they don't pay but you with the rod pays yeah guys continue to agree that fishermen have to pay for services that everyone else gets for free but don't complain when more and more fishing things become pay to play...go ahead and support the wrong side or at lest think about it before you talk/type and it is surprising that more guys are not stepping up and agreeing with me ..it is not about if the guys were stupid, it's should we pay when no other group does.. people debating this issue will find this thread on google and you guys are stating it is fine to make fishermen pay for everything.....

they made the same warnings almost every single day of last winter and every other winter again they made the same warning every single day last winter...so one day out of 60 they were right you can't cry wolf every day the say I told you so the one day of the year it comes true and icefishing happens to be one of the safest winter sports in canada..... so when they say don't go on roads if you don't have to..you should have to pay for rescue and I guess your insurance should not pay for your damage, cause you were warned...sorry you statement doesn't hold water.....

well hind sight is a wonderful thing and sure they look stupid for going on the ice that day.. but when people drive in bad weather, ski down hills in icy conditions, people going out in the fog hell, cliff climbers, hand gliders , people who jump out of perfectly sound aircraft play hockey ...if we charge the ice fisherperson should not all be charged.............then it's fair

boy if they had bacon with it, it would be the perfect meal

it's a start....thanks

not really

that is true....lol

I think it cost more in the 60s then it does now

I don't think you asked if you bought the right make...so imo garmin maps are great, more and better details of lakes and I have both lowrance and garmin........and if you type in the right words in google you can get them for free if yours has a memory card a friend can give you an image of lake simcoe too

lol this is what is coming from the 60's

now that is what winter used to be like.....wow that's a lot of snow

I would just stay inside and wait for global warming

I use strap on spikes or whatever they are when there is little snow on my Baffins

good website to check out lakes http://www.web2.mnr.gov.on.ca/fish_online/fishing/fishingExplorer_en.html

I think the internet now has a time machine, I ordered an item that was more popular in the late 60's I'm just saying

if you look at the shipped date and the delivery date you will know it's Canada Post can hardly wait

no issue except phone takes android apps and playbook takes blackberry apps, lots of free apps keyboard will be Bluetooth and each thing you add eats battery time, but it's easy to pair

is this the lake <a href="http://s25.beta.photobucket.com/user/Mrbeee1954/media/12-25-201210-08-06AM_zps3ef79f4d.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/12-25-201210-08-06AM_zps3ef79f4d.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a> <a href="http://s25.beta.photobucket.com/user/Mrbeee1954/media/12-25-201210-13-19AM_zps1dc39966.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/12-25-201210-13-19AM_zps1dc39966.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"/></a>
