I'd sell it too, maybe that boat is not suited for his type of fishing, I'd quickly turn it over for a 22 /24 foot walkaround cuddy cabin with riggers and offshore gear, just sayin

Keep the bacon away from my venison roast, want to taste venison not bacon Best thing I've found for venison to keep it moist is a clear plastic like cooking bag sold under the brand name of "Look", season and follow directions, cook about 300 to 325 until medium. Always liked a bit of mint jelly as a condiment with good venison.

I'm a less than 5 minute walk to the marina here, would really like to have a fully rigged 20 to 22 foot walk around cuddy cabin fishing rig slipped there for next summer

As a kid who's first rod was " True Temper " square metal fishing rod I'd put the development of the first fibreglass rods ahead of the listed rod entries. Edit : grt1 my first reel was also a Shakespeare, made in Hamilton by "Inglis ". green it was .

I'll put my money on a pileated woodpecker as well.

I'm thrifty (cheap) I use Trilene XT all the way on my float rig, 10 lb. for mainline and 4 or 6 lb. for the leader.

Awesome scenery, river and fish. Did some reading on Bull Trout, interesting read, as others have said they have a laker/splake appearance , to my eye they most closely resemble the laker backgross splake of Georgian Bay 20 or so years ago. They ran the rivers in the fall to spawn and if you could get into them before the Sept closer were pretty good on the grill. Never did figure why they closed the season in a fish that couldn't reproduce and was solely a put and take proposition. The Bull Trout on the other hand, given their status, I would assume are catch and release only?

Nice bunch of perch and I just said there was no fish in Grimsby

How many remember the old QEW / HWY #20 traffic circle? same idea but not quite as insane. Or even stoplights on the QEW Niagara ?

Guess the new gas is like bootled spring water, how can something that sits for millions of years under the earth's surface suddenly have an expiry date

They used to be really popular even salmon fishing on Lake Ontario back in the 80's, was probably more fishing talk on CB channel 13 than on the marine radio.

There is no fish over here

Where I worked we had propane towmotors, heavy rubber gloves, face shields, grounding straps etc., go to some filling stations for the BBQ and a 16 year old girl is filling with bare hands in jeans and a T shirt

In catch and release fishing, whether it is a personal decision or a legal requirement some fish are always going to be lost. Some that you think are going to make it, don't, and some that you think will succumb probably don't. I eat fish, so if it is in season I'll keep a deeply hooked fish, if it is a legal requirement that it be released and it is hooked deep, I'll cut the line or hook.

Excellent pics, if I'm ever in the market for a trail cam I know which brand to get.

Is there natural gas run to the house?? I'm thinking going natural gas forced air heat with central air shouldn't be much more than that? Maybe I'm out of touch with costs

just finished picking up a lot of small limbs out of my willow tree that fell on the side street, went to the back yard, big one down there. Looks like I'll be busy hauling it all to the dump tomorrow

Awesome, that is actually a nice looking sheepie. Seems so many of the larger ones have lesions, cysts tumours, incredibly clean looking for its immense size, perfect fins and a nice colour too.

FWIW , dad taught me to turn off all accesories in the car when starting 40 sum years ago, like radio heater blower, lights etc., still do it in all vehicles. Of course batteries then weren't what they are today, fuel systems of that day were prone to flooding if it didn't start right away and today there is a lot of stuff that you can't power down. But it still makes sense.

X2, up your wire gauge on long runs and make sure you use fine stranded stuff. Stereo shops that do mobile installations are a good source, heavy gauge speaker wire.

For steelies and river run browns, I'd add a selection of San Juan Worms in favourite colours.

Thanks I was unaware of that, all the neighbours were out watching , he circled a long time, was not sure how many there was, really kicked up a fuss when he finally beelined out of here.

couple were probably below a thousand, up and down the lakeshore.

Lots of low level jet fighter traffic along the south shore of Lake Ontario here in Grimsby , maybe a dozen low level passes in the past 10 minutes ??

Lots of them go up the Niagara in the fall, also those backcross, mostly Laker Splakes used to run Georgian Bay Tribs back in the 80/90's. Used to get a ton of them steelheading in the fall but they were OOS after the end of Sept, shame too, they were very good eating.
