  1. Best perch dinner was when I lived a short stagger from the old " Rod and Gun Hotel " in Port Rowan .
  2. Watch what you buy as Lake Erie Perch, I read somewhere that a well known perch restaurant was advertising " Fresh Lake Erie Perch Dinners " but what what you were getting was not Yellow Perch but White Perch , a big difference in taste.
  3. I believe pike have invaded Boshkung but as far as I know Koshlong is still pike free if that makes a difference.
  4. Years ago a hunting buddy was a CO and we were on our way about 4am to go duck hunting west of Dunnville on Lake Erie. I was driving and west of Port Maitland we are going down a back road , He says pull over and turn off the lights, it was garbage pickup day and he runs back and goes through the garbage can of guy he suspected of poaching , looking for evidence.
  5. Let me look at your gear and tackle and I'll tell pretty quick if you are a sucker for a sales pitch . For years we torrented all the shows we watch and since my wife got a few threatening letters from our isp we now watch our shows on Kodi, except for sports and the mornings news we really are commercial free. I hate that buy your old gold guy on the morning news
  6. I was very young but still retain the vision of looking out the east window which sloped to a drainage ditch on the border of a stand of cattails, the cattails were flooded and the small ditch was halfway up the slope to the house, could have canoed on it.
  7. Be very careful with those big units, years ago we would have an outside firm bring a big 550 volt unit into the plant to clean the scale off chemical tanks, well the hose broke and the kid in the tank took over a hundred stitches to close up his leg, cut worse than a knife.
  8. Seen him before, pretty sure he was on " Finding Nemo "
  9. The end result was so predictable the second they got the delay of game penalty and I said a couple of weeks ago that it looked like they got the OTL monkey off their back, well he's back .
  10. Fifty some years later I am totally into a lot of the earlier Stones stuff, the stuff that the top 40 stations didn't play To think i spent a lot of my teens listening to some boy band from Liverpool along with a bunch of screaming pre-pubescent girls screaming when Paul sang I Wanna Hold Your Hand . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hru0Uq6VsUY&index=5&list=FLX7zLRNDN5LQ2hfLG3mn9dQ
  11. Thanks I forwarded it to an old friend via email. When I lived in Norfolk in the 70's , there was a flytying shop in either Delhi or Tilsonburg, ( old timer memory lapse ) selling materials both instore and mail order by the name " Vance's or Vance Bros." wonder if this may be related.
  12. There was a half dozen or so last week working on the berries of my neighbours Mountain Ash.
  13. Ideally we should have an reciprocal agreement with other states and provinces that if you lose your license here for an infraction you also lose it at home for the same period of time and vice versa of course, not being able to fish in Ontario for 3 years is probably of little consequence to some one from Tennessee . Still curious as to whether they actually pay these fines.
  14. Question , are fines like this to Americans even paid or do they just stop coming to Canada ? I doubt the 4 travelled to Peterborough for their day in court?
  15. X2, that has been my limited experience, suspended at Binbrook.
  16. Sorry , guess as you say I am morally bankrupt on the subject along with these other old farts. Grandkids asked the danger of climate change and I told them them the dinosaurs are coming back, they said kool edit : one more b4 bed, hilarious
  17. More like sucks the hind teat , a lot of the services available to Trawna aren't available rurally.
  18. Actually the 742 does accept clips, an aftermarket clip that fit both the 742 and it's companion version the 760 pump action built on basically the same receiver accepted 8 rounds and is now prohibited as it can be used in the semi auto 742, while still legal for the 760 as it is a manually operated action. Confused eh
  19. I just want my great grandchildren to be able to enjoy the pleasures of my youth, well I guess shooting rats at the dump with a 22 is pushing it , but it was more fun than any video game
  20. An AR 15 is only different from any any other semi auto in appearance, it is black and plastic and to the masses it looks scary mainly because of media hype, the more common Remington 742 is available in much more powerful chamberings and not restricted. restricting a firearm on appearance is not permissible in my books, Pretty much all firearms enthusiasts are also card carrying Conservatives, not unlike NRA members in the States are typically diehard Republicans, O'Leary has been outed on all Canadian Firearms forums and website, he is pretty much DOA IMHO.
  21. John Mayall has launched the careers of many great guitarists, Eric Clapton , Peter Green of the real Fleetwood Mac, Coco Montoya, Mick Taylor and Buddy Whittington. Edit : some Buddy for you all hell yeah might as well add some CoCo while I'm at it and just to stay on topic some Walter Trout as this is a fishing forum sorry but I could listen to this stuff all day
  22. you got that right, look at a map of the 2014 election results, the half dozen ridings of the far north went Dipper except for the Nipigon riding, the more populous area south of the French Mattawa River is Tory blue , you have to get into the postage stamp sized , high density ridings of Toronto to see the bulk of the Liberal support, the province is Ontario is governed by Trawna
  23. Did you read what I said along side the graph, bullshat is being put forth by both sides, I don't deny global warming, we are still coming out of the last ice age so what do you really expect, a short walk from my home I can see evidence of both glaciers and also fossils from when it was a lot warmer than today. Am I really convinced that mankind is a majour factor in the warming trend of my lifetime , which is just an imperceptible blip in time and willing to hobble the economic development of our country and my kids future while others prosper, not really. Canada contributes about 1.8 % of the CO2 emissions worldwide but due to the expansive forested land acting as a carbon sink we are basically carbon neutral or even carbon negative, sorry we are not part of the problem , this feel good legislation and carbon tax is simply a tax grab with save the planet marketing angle.
  24. Any firearms owners thinking about jumping on the O'Leary bandwagon think again, he is not our friend "Kevin O'Leary (CPC Leadership hopeful) throws AR15 owners under the bus in a podcast interview June 13, 2016 During the interview he makes comments about the AR15 "there is no need anybody to have that" and " you would never hunt with it, you would only use it to kill people.." "that is a weapon that is just used to kill everybody in the room! Who should have that? Nobody! " "unless you are an accredited law enforcement officer, what the hell are you doing with that rifle?"
  25. Station of choice today http://stream.psychomed.gr/webstream%20rock-blues.html seems to play a lot of John Lee Hooker and that's a good thing streaming at 320 Kbps so the sound is excellent even to these old ears
