big guy

We we staying at a place on Kashawakamak Lake years ago when one of the guys came in saying he had caught a pike in an inflow area that had a perch shad rap in its mouth. The same lure my brother had lost to a pike bite off an hour or so before. So... from my personal experience, if a fish is still willing to eat with a lure stuck in its mouth, i would say they dont feel pain. My brother got his shad rap back.

It was a buddy of mine fishing in another boat with 2 other guys, also friends of mine. The other guys said he should keep due to where we were fishing, that he'd never get caught etc. It was 3 cm over the slot. Not a huge fish by any means. I wanted to find out if they all could be charged, to try and get the other 2 guys to straighten up and fly right. But i guess the answer is they wouldnt, so...

If 1 person, fishing with 1 or more other people in a boat, catches and keeps an oversize fish, does every person in the boat get fined? Thanks for the replies

female fox or vixen. They have a crazy call. First time I heard it was under our bedroom window at 3 in the morning, nearly sh!t myself.

people park on streets near the launch area when busy. Fenelon marina has a pay launch for 10 bucks, but you also have to park along the street a bit farther away.

Its only strong when they have the dam open and thats not the case right now. They rebuilt the concrete ramp a few years back, its a bit of a weird place for a ramp but its a good one and there are a few places to park.

Thanks Terry for the link and Irish for the 2nd, will do.

Is it this link? https://vesselregistrycenter.ca/nvrc/transfer-pleasure-craft-licence/

On the verge of buying a boat from a guy and wondering what, if any thing, has to be done regarding the boats numbers that are on the bow. Does anything have to be changed over with the Department of Fisheries regarding those numbers? And if so, can it be done online? Thanks

That is nutz

Thanks for your reply. Was unaware of their failure rate. Now shifting gears, looking at canoe style vests now that would allow maximum arm movement for casting. I dont know, maybe I'll just forget it.

Was researching the purchase of self-inflating life jackets and apparently they aren't recommended for people who either can't or are weak swimmers. Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks for your reply. I was surprised to see the upper part of the lake being so shallow, according to a map i found online. So i guessed you mainly fished the lower part, more northernly part of the lake?

Rented a cottage on Hay Lake for September and was wondering if anyone has ever fished it. There's not as lot of info on it that I can see, the owners will have some, but was hopeful I could get a head start from the fishing minds on here. Even the the fish online tool is not very helpful. Thanks

I think i put this topic in the wrong part of the board. Feel free to move it.

Work with a woman who lives just outside Woodville and was on her way to Cannington Foodland the other morning when a cougar ran across the road in front of her. She stopped, as did the car behind her, but didnt have time to grab her phone before it across the field and out of range.

Good for you, to each his own. Ive looked at rods at sail many times and not once had staff come to ask me if i needed help, like a poster already said, always hanging around the desk. I am a fan of sail, always liked the stores, but they need to restructure their business if they want to compete.

Was just there last week. They need to lower their prices and employ people who care about the sports they are selling. Everything we bought across the highway at Gagnons, from rods to lures was cheaper than at Sail. Gagnons is one family owned store and if they can out compete a chain there is something wrong. The service at Gagnons is also great, guys at the Sail don't even know what a Shad Dancer is.

Yep, it's time to get on our lives. https://nationalpost.com/news/business-and-health-leaders-accuse-trudeau-of-shifting-the-goalposts-for-reopening-economy

Sorry man, i was up that way recently and knew i should have hit the head before going for that walk.

Actually, it was very likely a resident that transferred there from toronto, unscreened and was one of the first 3 residents with it, before my wife got sick.

Not a sin, just that thinking needs to start changing now, start focusing on other things that are just as important.

Are you saying my wife may have gotten infected elsewhere, then went to work with it? I sure as hell hope not. She got it at work. As did 23 other people she works with. The nurse and i are not saying that its all a scam, just questioning how threatening the virus really is and how many people have died of other ailments, that covid is being listed as the cause of the death. I can speak from experience as i am amazed neither me or our 2 sons did not get it as well, living with someone who was quite ill for 8 days. Makes one think differently thats for sure. But part of the video message is, if hospitals arent swamped with cases, why not open elective surgery for people who so desparately need it for ailments that are just, if not more life threatening than covid. I get caution, but its time to start treating people for other things now, resources are being wasted waiting around for something that apparently isnt coming.
