Queer eye for the muskie guy
or instead of the Next Bite it could be called The Next Night
Jamie your right Pete across the grass bwahahahahah
You gotta do it
Hey Petee ,just remember it takes a real man to wear a kilt
You are wearing a TUTU
-
The Pete dood is skinnier than I thought. Couldn't tell him apart from the rake. lol.
Must be all the musky, drugs and rock and roll.
Ya Moose,If I grabbed him in an arm bar,I snap his spine the twig he is
Looks like like he is getting raked just like in the photo
-
I always knew he was a candidate for the Pride Parade
You would look good on float
Been off line for week or more,they put twin V8 360s in my pc, ,we are peeling out

Hey Holdfast,interesting tks for sharing,my Grand Dad fought at Vimy(Albert Thorpe),He passed on at the age of 84 .
he was one of the lucky ones that survived,he went onto WW2 with my dad and uncle
My uncle passed away last week in B.C at 85 and my dad goes under the knife today at 83
You are right,not many know about it,seems those that served to liberate freedom are in their last years.Its trully nice to see some recognition to those that fought for what we have today
There are only 2 soldiers left,one in TO and the other in the U.S.A
A special message is written on my Nana's stone and its has great significance
" Gods greatest gift rememberance"
Could not be more true

Ya know what Art
I am told they even eat bucktails

An amazing gesture of kindness and generosity
Kudos to all for your actions
Speedtroll,my thoughts are with you

Hi Leafland,just wanted to say
Kudos on your involvement with your son and questions on the board
what you bring forth is exactly what fishing needs,revitalisation and continuation of the sport
Welcome to the board,look forward to reading your experiences with your son and family
The good people here will more than provide informative assistance,they will share their experiences which I think both of you will enjoy
-
Nice pic,thanks for sharing
-
Dont have any hot spots,but I would recommend you and your dad or mom spend a day on the water with Rob Hyatt or Dany Columby if you regularly visit the area.
They are very familliar with Nippising,I suspect you would learn alot from both these guys and enjoy your day
Rob Hyatt

Dany Columby

Might be others on the board which may provide further help

I thought you were gonna say look at his Pecker

Hey Mike it all comes down to thinking like kids,too many times we think like adults and try to get kids involved in adult ways
Fishing is more than angling,more than catching
Its everything in the surroundings of fishing that makes the experience what it is
Watching your son on the ice that day quickly brought out what it is they seek in fishing
BTW,I got your minnow net
-
Now thats nice
Day of resurecting props
-
Those were the days when Checkered shirts were cool
I guess 10 000 cats wore em out
-
I suspect if we privatized our natural resource with regional volunter watch dogs and administrators and financial equality upon all regions within their needs and contribution
We would be far better than govermentally runned
Simply run it like we are expected to run our households and business
Biologist could go out and do what they studied and love to do,work in the field and progress instead of worrying about what their budgetary defencies

Kennyman,I always look at my glass as half full
I enjoy everyone opinion or perspective on all matters no matter what my perspective is
What Aniceguy did is good,I mearly pointed out what the political party he approached did
He did approach the opposition which is not in power,great move no questions,take it with a grain of salt
Rick O understood what my message was,he explained it correctly
Ken,the prob financially stems from the top of the ladder all the way down for all departements
Till you see what I have posted reached among all goverment levels and departments,Dude minute accomplishements will be reached because the monies that could be used to fully succeed are derived into nothing studies,nothing inquiries and so on
Ken face it,50% of all tax earnings in every provinve and Canada is wasted
You think a PM deserves 250 000$ in salary,I dont think so
They are civile servants living off our means (something wrong with that equasion) and earning more than the average ?
Just so you know,they work less hours per year than most of us and when they do more they are well compensated
Does this not mean we should halt our efforts,no just be aware of expect
Dont be fooled with all you read in the media
I think you have taken my post wrong,seems others understood my message
Yes I dont believe in the goverment,why its created a whirlwind of waste and un-accountability and un-retributional towards its wrong doings
I've been witness to it in many aspect of govermental runned departements
I understand and plight with some of the lacking in our natural resource but the heart of the prob comes from within the Gov
The solutions suggested are good,but once again
Co self financed by violation fines will lead to funds being derived towards other departments or quotas being instilled (you think thats a joke/dude its reality)
I do agree fishing licenses should increase,I have no probs supporting this
Fishing licenses and the use of these funds is under funded
What do you really think I can do,not much
Become Prime Minister,the entire political and govermental structure must be changed and become integral
Not in my lifetime
Rick could not have said it any better
I do agree with his suggestion,first better clean up goverment because they will squander it
Ken I am speaking up about the true matter of the problem
I think you failed to see it
Ken,I just earn a living and pay child support from this way of life,nothing else
I share my experience withh all simply because I am common and simplistic as all just as others share their livelyhood or life experiences and knowledge
Ken,in reality our finacial and goverment structure cannot last in this worldwind of waste,unfortunatly we as servants should halt all hand over till finacial accountability is attained.
Fact is provincialy (every province exept Alta) and Nationaly the income received is by far more than enough to bring things to stability and accomplishements,the wasting and employee cut backs should be acted upon
There are more office workers than field workers at any of the Provinces natural resource departement
A prime example of waste
Truck plates in quebec are 450$
225$ for general road fees
225$ anti pollution
So if I get this straight, my 225$ Anti pollution tax has gone into Provincial air purifiers so they we can breath clean air from my polluting truck with my 225$
My ars!
Lake Simcoe has in re-introduction phase since 1996,we are now 2007
Do you know how much money has been allocated?
Do the results equat to the return in investements ? NO
Just so you,I sat in a meeting which almost could have set a precedents to selling off one of our natural reproducing fisheries for no other reason than to subsidize budgetary constraints.
There was no scientific or natural resource reason to do so
I voiced my and others opposition to it and received flack from the natural recorces folks
What did I learn from that meeting,disapointement in the reasons some decisions are taken
Most of all the wearness of the true information placed forth
I called a spade a spade,some did not like it,To bad
Carefull at creating or generating more govermental funds
I dont think politicians are honest people and I dont think they have our best interest at heart or in responsibility
More so their own personal finacial future
Yes ,we should keep trying,I dont think handed over more Un-Contralable and Un-accountable monies is the solution
Actually Ken its an all around good conversation
Ken,I am short crotched and 180 pounds,slim and trim thats all the weight I got
Remember this in life,never look up to others,look at them
If your ever felt like to look up to someone,there not worth looking at

Well if your heart is really into getting kids fishing
Start by looking at what www.takemefishing.org/ does
http://www.fishingworks.com/kids_fishing/index.cfm
http://www.aa-fishing.com/kids-fishing-trips.html (read each states value in creating intrigue)
lots of tips
Set your club aside,use it as a collective assembly of aid only
Second,I think to innitiate kids in a competitive enviroment is not needed,As Chris S Stated it will naturally come
You really want to get kids fishing its simple,take them along the banks,fish a little,walk along the banks turn over rocks ,look for crayfish,frogs,tad poles,insects,bring them back home ,place them in an aquarium so the kids can observe em and nurture them,even put some local tiny fish caught or trap minnows
Basicaily ya want to get kids into fishing,get em going the same we did as kids
We will not get kids into fishing trying to interest them into adult ways of fishing
Its actually pretty simplistic
Too much focus on the "fishing " part of it
You need the peak their interest in fishings entire surroundings
Anyone ever approach Hagens or any other aquarium manifacture to aid in such activities
JPD,great effort and works on your part with the kids in your local area schools

Dont want to bust your bubble
Keep dreaming,they aint gonna fix it
Unless you have a tax grab to offer
I hate to tell ya,The Gov only purpose is to grab as much off of its citizens as they can and do little
Dont kid yourself waste and non decision occur at all levels and departements
If they really have intentions of correcting our financial situation and envirometal situation
1)They would decrease their salaries (mp's)
2)They would trim gov employees by 30-50% and number of MP's
3) They would have citizen watch dogs to ensure good accountibility for all departements
4) They would get more hands on work done and accomnplished,less office work
5) Stop sending money for Foreign aid
6) Stop subsidizing cheap labor across seas
Just remember .50$ on 1$ for tax goes towards salaries
Dude dont get snowballed by some politician no matter what party they belong to
Looks like they listen to your plight for votes
Politicians are like asian carp,they are invasive in our lives
I applaud your efforts,good luck

I read a comparative some time back on fluro
Seems the Maxima fluro had the best all around abrasion resistance and strength
I am gonna try some this year,for muskies I have always used Seaguar

I thought some of you would like it,its nostalgia
Thats from years back,look at the cars in the video
Lots of Fish Crisp moments
Ya Lew it is pretty good,when you factor in the number of anglers back then harvesting to todays CNR anglers and post mortal release,I kinda wonder if we are not causing more mortality in this day and age than yesteryear
Yes some areas were affected heavily by harvest but overall today,our impact may be more significant than yesteryear's
Cool oldie nonetheless

Only solution is to sterilize the section of the rivers that contain em
I watched the entire video series,the bio is sincere in his quest but I think he's waiting for a miracle
In this case they should embark on sterilization of affected rivers and proceed with re-stocking species which would die off from the sterilization
Since they know where they originated from,I wonder if a class action suit towards the States that originally had em is in order
They have migrated all the way into Ohio,they are moving very fast up the illinois river and mississipi
I think all states affected have no choice but to act before they invade the great lakes
Although they may not agree with my solution,its the only solution
Yes many other species will be affected but in this case,there's no alternative
Most disapointing thing is we see our Natural resources people no matter where you live do nothing
There are no predators that would control these fish
Strerilization the only feasible and viable solution to eradication
They could set up barriers and bassin for affected areas with filtration system,yes its costly but compared to a full blown invasion and destruction,its minute

Some oldies for ya

Thats the way to do it,unfortunatly the monies will go to the coffers and not be directed towards the resource
Whish all infraction/fines should be directed back into the Natural Resource treasury
