Been a few Robins all winter, they descend on the neighbours Mt Ash berries frequently, but this morning taking the dogs around the yard for their business I heard the distinct Konk-ker -ree of a male Red Wing Blackbird up in the top of the maple , early spring I say..

If it is just a random pier I use spoons, if the pier is at the mouth of a river bows make a spawning run in the spring then I give roe chance or I like minnows too, below a float.

That pretty much follows how it happened in Niagara. Never saw a coyote in my years before I went to University in 69 and I worked on a farm and hunted every weekend so if they were around I would have known. After graduation I moved back and got in with a group that hunted around Dunnville, we sent 20 some pelts to the fur auction in North Bay spring of 77, almost all yotes and a few fox, the population had just exploded out of nothing in the early 70's and only got larger since then. Actually deer were also not as abundant in the 60's, they exploded as well, shot my first deer in the first controlled hunt in southern Ontario, probably 77, the archery season started a few years earlier.

I seem to recall years ago they used to dynamite these blockages to lessen flooding and damage to structures, is that not an option these days ?

5.95 % would be reasonable

For years the plates were made of Dofasco Hot Dip Galvanized steel, prepainted white and occasionally other colours long ago at Baycoat in Hamilton . About 2000 we lost the business and since then the plates have never been the same. Operating a crane I listened to the truck drivers explain how Millbrook Correctional had 2 gates and how they inspected the truck going in and out in the area between the gates, later I was a slitter operator and I slit the wide prepainted coils to plate width and I assume they were finally stamped out and numbers painted at Millbrook. edit: guess we lost the business because Google says they closed Millbrook in 2003

Is the Horrocks - Ibbotson a US manufactured rod or one of the Canadian ones made here in Grimsby ? nice work

To further skew this, I am not a fan of these total catch and release, trophy fisherpeople looking for that social media hero shot, preaching their holier than thou ethics. Do they not realize that there is a kill factor to Catch and Release angling, an optimist would put it at 10% an a pessimist at 20% from my observation. These righteous C and R anglers who catch several times the daily limit may actually be killing more fish on a outing than the guy who puts a few on a stringer for the table. I shot furbearers, coyotes , fox and coon 30 some years ago, good money then , i was making about 7 bucks a hour in the steel mill and was getting around 50 for a prime pelt in 78, a day's wage. Also shot groundhogs all summer, best day was 31 for 40 at ranges out past 400 yds with a 220 Swift and a high power scope, lots of fun and I don't feel guilty one bit

Coyotes are not wolves, apples and oranges edit: took an wildlife biology course under Doug Pimlott in the early 70's.

Typical FUDD , maybe we don't need boats with over a hundred horsepower bolted to the transom and capable of speeds over 50 MPH to go fishing, you know " If it would save just one life ". Today more firearms owners in Canada don't hunt than do, most of the stuff you see at the range today is FUN to shoot and not your grandpappies 30-30, not unlike all the fun high horsepower toys associated with so called fishing today. My highschool had a shooting range where the cadets shot Lee Enfield .22 trainers and for my 4 years at U of T , I lived across the road from Hart House and was a member of the Revolver Club for that period. Two high school teachers taught the safe gun handlng course to get my hunting licence as a teen. I fail to see how guns in school is a problem, obviously making the schools a gun free zone isn't working. Actually Canadian gun owners own MORE firearms than their American counterparts as owners here tend to be hobbyists while the one in the bed stand just in case drags the US number down. I really find it disgusting how the gun grabbers and lib left put on their grave dancing shoes after every one of these tragedies to promote their agenda rather than tackling the real problem.

Tell them "you're right we don't need a bigger tank , we need a better supplier"

Lemons are not a new thing, buddy bought a new Ford 150 back in the late 70's, it was using oil, he took it back to the dealer, they said some Bull that it is common during break in to use some oil, getting no satisfaction he took to an independent garage who tore it down and found one of the cylinders had no rings , called the Ford service manager and had him get there pronto

Drove the crap out of a '68 Beetle and '76 VW Rabbit, last year they were carbureted, in my youth, didn't do a lot of maintenance either. Something to be said for low tech for reliability.

Probably the best idea these 2 had , too bad they backed down. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/the-white-paper-1969/

This thread's topic is a bit misleading, the fact that they were fishing is totally irrelevant to the charge, they could have just as easily been bird watchers looking at waterfowl and the charges would have still been laid.

better than Port Dalhousie, been closed since 2015 year round, not just winter http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/2015/04/16/port-dalhousie-piers-closed

WOW , DOW down over a thousand. Shades of 2008, yikes

How did pot stocks do last week ?

I remember before the 2008 freefall the Dow Jones Index would run about 1000 below the TSX Index as I held both, now the DOW is at 26,000 and the TSX at 16,000 or thereabouts, but they had more economic sense at the polls.

Rather than picking winners and losers, I would suggest that someone wishing to increase their exposure to the markets look at TSX and NYSE Index Funds, you would be surprised how many mutual funds and stocks don't perform as well as the stock market index, they have served me well the past 35 years and the diversification minimizes risk.

I was single with a good paying steel mill job and I didn't buy a fancy boat till I was 32 and had cash, do what you want but I don't see this as a good idea but then there is a 40 years age difference.

Weed stocks like bitcoin and other cryto currencies are FoMo driven, don't get burned.

George Tichnovich would be the name. Last I heard he had a shop up on Lake Huron but that too was a few years back. Edit: maybe it was Phil, think there was 2 brothers

The concept got me to looking, wonder if I can find this aftermarket grate for the Weber in Canada??? Looks like it would work the same

Nice , but a Webber Kettle is more in my budget.
