as do I about you so, you look at the big picture in everything in life or just fishing so I take it you don't fish because fishing for sport is cure and unnecessary you will not have children, because the world is getting over populated you don't drive a car because if you look at the big picture you would be killing the world using oil products you clearly only use solar power and wind power because everything else is killing the planet or is it just fishing where you have great insight and can clearly see the big picture and all else in the world should think the way you do........give me a break people that think everyone else should have the same valves as them sure are full of themselves if they are within the law leave them the hell alone...they even made a law to protect their right to fish

oh yeah, we Canadians are always looking for ways to help out beavers I personally have not grabbed too many in the water

I don't care what type of fisherman they are I like to see more inspections of their kept fish I was in the canal in Keswick wait to put the boat on the trailer I saw a bass OOS swimming and noticed that it had a hook in it's mouth just then it swam away and a unattended rod moved toward the water..I realized it was caught on the rod just then a women ran over and grabbed the rod moved it way from the waters edge and let out some line.. I said you know that fish is out of season and must be let go she said it's not my rod, I just didn't want it to go in the water....... a minute later I see her looking at the road and entrance to the park a man and women are coming into the park a a fair pace and holding a green garbage bag......didn't take me long to put 2 and 2 together... she ran out to meet them, he looked over at me and handed the bag to the women and came to the rod he looked at me looked at the fish in the water, set the rod down and stood there I took out my camera took a picture of the fish the rod and him then he said" well the fish was going to die and we are going to dispose of it I say the law states that you must release an OOS fish even if it is dead he lets it go and walks away.... now you know he knew he was breaking the law, made his wife and daughter be part of his crime..and he was a guy that lives just down the road from the park and he didn't look any different then I look and did not have a bucket of any colour but the bag was green..dark green ..almost black..I am thinking a glad bag.........damn those glad baggers yes we need they people to be caught and punished

welcome aboard ...and ask all the questions you want.... remember there are no stupid questions, only stupid peo..............ah ..no.... that's not coming out right dang....I know there is a time tested pearl of wisdom that fits here I will get back to you on it welcome again

JohnF, hit it on the head companies in Ontario have to pay money for OHIP for every single employee where do people think that money comes from...well it's in the cost of their product along with all the other taxes that we get hit with..so we have to have higher prices.... and you have heard the NDPs promise to hit all business with more taxes to pay for they homeless/wellfare programs...well guess what..that will raise the price of everything and companies will move out of country or make us pay through the nose for everything...the cost of living a great country

well yeah, but once they get a taste of man, they will attack again so killing it is the only way animals have rights but in my religion they were put on this earth for me and my use so there is no choice, man always comes first..

I agreed and "hate the law not the people fishing within the law" was more of a slogan then a comment....... which means we need to work on the law makers to change things and maybe there is a way we can educate that group of fisherpeople maybe we could get signs made up and put them in spots where they shore fish and at ramps

welcome aboard sometimes the chat here gets around to fishing stuff , so you might have found a good spot to hang your hat

no the car is mine, as would be the guys fishing rod , so the car is the rod and he can look after it any way he wants the road would be the fisheries and it is not my job to fix the road or to complain to the guy who uses it more then I do. if I have a problem with the road(fish) I go to the gov. and complain..not the guy within the law driving the road I understand you feelings and I feel much the same way but I blame the MNR for not doing more, not the guy fishing within the law hate the law not the people fishing within the law

it is not the fishermans job to look a the bigger picture it is their job to read the rules and follow them if they don't follow them ..kick their donkey, call the cops ,the MNR, whatever it takes but if they follow the rules b!tch and complain to the government and get the laws changed because it is their to maintain the ecosystem, not the everyday fisherman you go beyond the everyday fisherman and understand how easy it is to screw up the balance as do I but it is not the job of the weekend fisherman and we can't put that or our valves onto them, again when they are following the rules

most whitebucket people (if we are going to call them that) obey the law just like the livewell people, ( I figure we need a name too) and if they are within the law then they should be left alone to fish I just think we should not try to squeeze a large and varied group into one insulting name but that's me

watch buying from BPS, UPS act a broker and "WILL" screw you for big bucks a friend bought a car from Cal. and saved big bucks, said it was easy just make use whatever state you buy it from has the same standards as Ontario or you will be installing driving lights or emission stuff , but you can find out all that stuff before hand...good luck

oh yeah I have lots of bids on ebay.... sure save money buying from US now it will fall again in a few month..maybe after it hits 103

yeah, I don't think it's even 48"........but love old stories about big fish it is a nice old photo

welcome aboard but like any family, we have good days and bad days here on OFC but all and all it's a great place to sit and chat about fishing and most other things happening in your life enjoy the ride

very cool stuff I stuck my camera out my window and snapped a bracket shot and gave PHOTOMATIX PRO a try, sure makes the picture and every detail far and near stand out I can't wait to find some real shots to take thanks for the info I think I will hang around this part of the message board

so if I understand what misfish is saying ..God has already looked at fridays super seven draw and knows if I won or not want to slip me the numbers God ..thanks in advance

great report nice win

cool, just remember they count as part of your daily limit....LOL

Holy Copulation Batman nice fish

great report

it really was a funny reply...

boys and their toys here I thought carping was an old rod and reel, some strong line and some corn and a fishing you would go but it's really high tec if you want to go that route, I see good report and pictures too

not a day I would want to be on simcoe lots of high winds you did well, look like you had a good time just keep plugging away

yup, sometimes things are double the price..for no reason.... the odd time it's because of duty from other countries but often it seems to be "lets rip off the dumb Canadians"......... not just PBS, it's every tackle store around or the distributors, try for every cent they can get from us
