  1. I used to work at Long Point and lived in Port Rowan, quite a while ago, it was the Mounties that enforced a lot of the migratory game bird stuff including setting up roadblocks on the causeway spot checking duck hunters , the CO's at that time stuck mostly to enforcing small game, sport and commercial fishing. There was a lot of CWS sanctuary land there and both the MNR and CWS had land open to hunters as well. If the fed's are setting up a roadblock to the provincial commorant shoot I would expect that our CO's would leave you alone and the RCMP might bust you. A situation not unlike the legal cannabis states where the local police are OK with it but the American Federal Custom guys will bust you if returning from a trip and have some in possession.
  2. It would be the RCMP that would have to lay those charges, I expect you would be OK with the Provincial CO's unless you were really screwing up other species.
  3. Very nice, that is quality cork, don't see it that nice very often any more.?
  4. If you haven't tried it , bow fishing is a blast. Grew up long ago near the Welland River, shooting common carp was a hoot in the spring with an old solid fibreglass recurve, you could even shoot Pike back in those days.
  5. I'm liking this duo a lot and just WOW
  6. Has to be some down that end of the lake in fall, been a quite a few years but I recall a kazillion fish running the Salmon River at Pulaski when we used to make a trip that way river fishing.
  7. Yeah, on the Niagara fishing forum , there was reports of a flock of snow geese, I suspect swans in reality. I was park naturalist at Long Point Provincial Park for a couple of years in the 70's, they'd be showing up in good numbers any day now back then.
  8. Never ice fished Gull when dad had the place in Haliburton but we would get some decent Bows along with Lakers in spring where the river dumped into the lake, also got some bows in the river up by the dam in Minden, I swore they ran the river on a spawning run just like great lakes steelies.
  9. Lots of activity on the scanner here today, unfortunately the police have gone encrypted but heard other chatter including the EMT call for the accident. CAUTION HAZARD / ROBBERY SUSPECTS- QEW / NORTH SERVICE ROAD IN GRIMSBY. PLEASE READ!! Toronto bound QEW near Casablanca reports of a vehicle spun out and in the ditch. It has taken out a major road sign. An MTO enforcement officer came across this collision and upon investigation by the officer he discovered multiple 100 dollar bills all over the vehicle. Appears to have been a vehicle possibly used in the commission of a crime / robbery. Descriptions- 2 black male occupants - both bleeding from faces 1st make -Mid 20’s puffy vest, skinny. 2nd male- was heavier set. They hopped the fence and ran towards Casablanca blvd. NRP advised and they are sending units to the area along with OPP. Suspects may be in the area so DO NOT APPROACH. CALL 911 if you see anything suspicious ASAP. Let’s get the word out and see if we can get these guys arrested. There was a robbery at the CIBC in Grimsby not long ago. 1:23pm. OPP believe these are the suspects. No weapons seen but the money was in a gray shopping bag so keep an eye out for that bag as well.
  10. SRV died 10 years before she was born, crazy
  11. You really don't expect hot 19 year old chicks to play blues slide guitar and do it well, good voice too ?
  12. Really hits home as I've fished that wall many times south of the Peace Bridge for Pickeral and Trout in the spring and fall, sometimes winter even. Stunned at the speed it came ashore, I had envisioned it coming in much slower, that didn't leave anytime if you had to evacuate a home or something.
  13. I drink Carling Ice, the Grimsby In and Out only carries it in twelves but charges me the 24 price if I get 2x12, didn't know they stopped the partitions in the 24's.
  14. That's what we called them in the late 50's/60's before we had US fishing shows on the tube and learned they were crappie. First ones I caught were white crappie in the Chippewa Creek. Actually , it was those US shows that got us calling Pickeral , Walleyes as well ?.
  15. The name Walleye did not even exist before 1933, we called them Yellow Pickeral the Americans for the most part would call them Yellow Pike, both not anatomically correct .
  16. The name Walleye was actually the result of some 1933 fisheries think tank coming up with name that wasn't biologically wrong. Dad born 1928 and gramps born 1902 called them Pickeral , actually the Ontario Regulations called them Yellow Pickeral right up to about 1970 if you look at some old regulations online. https://ontariowalleyefishing.com/ontario-walleye-biology-fishing-resource/ edit: I just saw the length and weight data in that link I posted, not even close ........over 10 pounds for a 25 incher LOL ,be lucky to break 6
  17. I'm old, been using Winamp for eons as a stand alone app on android devices for playing my music files and streaming online radio stations. Works for me. Also us it on all Windows devices too.
  18. My favourite Led Zeppelin tune..?
  19. One of my top ten favourite guitarists, R.I.P.
  20. Back in the 50's/ 60's, before free spool reels were common , I don't recall ever seeing a lefty direct drive knuckle buster, fished a lot with Langely's and Inglis /Shakespeares in those days.
  21. Buy a genuine " FoodSaver " . Costco has about the best price and get the genuine 'FoodSaver " bags there as well, they go on sale, check the flyer they hand you when you go in and stock up then.
  22. Swiss shooters don't seem to have a problem with traffic noise affecting their concentration, personally it might throw me off a bit. https://www.wideopenspaces.com/this-crazy-swiss-gun-range-has-people-shooting-over-a-busy-roadway/
  23. We did the torrent thing for years before we went KODI and lately an Android box and a IPTV suscription, best site we found was EZTV for torrenting. The good thing with a torrent is no buffering if you have a slow connection because the whole show is on your computer before you watch it, just make sure you get a vpn, UNLESS YOU LIKE THREATENING LETTERS.
