Maybe the city thought the magic salt water they use was going to melt all the snow off your street?

You can use just about any reel for perch fishing. My perch rods all have old crappy reels on them, and they've never failed me. I would just pick up something small, and cheap. As mentioned earlier in this thread, you will want to clean them up, and lube with non-freezing reel oil.

My trout/whitefish rods, well that's another story..

The wife and I just picked up an Samsung 46" LCD for $950. It's a great TV from what I can tell. I would have liked to fork out the extra dough, and get a LED. The LCDs are about half the price though.

I don't have HD cable, so for watching TV, I don't see a huge difference in picture quality from my last TV. But when you watch Blueray, WOW,, it's amazing.

Giver.. It would be good to have a buddy with ya though..

I stopped in a few days after she opened, while the floor was still half empty.

At that time she was talking about carrying a local bow manufacturer. A guy from Stayner area who makes cross bows, and maybe some other styles as well. Not to sure on the details.

I think I have some sort of colts curse. I've been to about a dozen games, and only seen them win once. If I go to the next home game, that'l break their winning streak for sure.

Getting the father in-law tickets to the next Hounds/Colts game in Barrie as a christmas gift.

Those should do the trick just fine eh. Nice work Bruce.

Are you sure he wasn't removing the pieces after he cut them as I'd be very surprised if he was leaving them all in the mouth ??

Thanks for the info Lew.. I didn't see him removing the cut hooks before releasing the fish. But there could be some editing stuff going on that they don't show on TV??

I shouldn't talk.. The only musky I've ever cought still has my lure in it's mouth

I was going to post on here a month or two ago about how much I dislike this show...

It's one of the worst shows I've ever watched.

The one thing that really pissed me off was one episode in particular, where Bob was Musky fishing. He didn't try to remove one single hook from the musky he caught. He cut EVERY hook, leaving metal in the fish's mouth. Didn't even try to remove them first, just snip snip snip!!

What an idiot.. I think you should at least try to remove a hook before cutting it, and leaving metal in the mouth of the fish. IMO.. I’m not a big musky fisherman, so what do I know..

Do you have a boat, or are you fishing from shore?

From shore, hit the barrie docks.

From Boat, like it was said before, follow the crowd.

The perch fishing can be hit or miss in barrie. Sometimes it's increadible, other times you'l only catch the odd dink.

Maybe that's what you saw in the "back" yard Marty and not a deer... as there's one on our property as well.

 

Guys in Coldwater.. $4000 fine to the shooter... $700 fine to the friend that took meat !!

On the radio this morning they said both got charge nearly $5000. I thought that was a pretty steep fine for the guy who just took some meat.. $700 makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying that Irishfeild..

Earlier this year, a coldwater man shot and killed a oos moose that was walking though his back yard. He and a friend shared the meat.

This week they where each charge nearly $5000.

Shooting a oos moose in (or neer) a town, and thinking you can get away with it is just ridiculous. Glad they got the BIG charge..

Here’s a question. From what I understand, the MNR can confiscate things you’ve used to aid you in poaching (trucks, trailers, gear, etc..) If you poaching on your property, can they take your land??

Excellent job man. That's a more then my freezer can hold.

I have to admit I’m a little envious

Those are some incredible pictures!

I particularly like the one of the photographer taking shots with two cameras at once. That's slick

Hey Moose, Make sure you get those kids into the kickboxing too. Mix it up a little. I was there age when I started martal arts. 20 years later, I teach three times a week, jujitsu and karate. I think it's one of the best sports to get kids involved in.

I hear there's a few up on Lake of Bays. I also herd they have some sort of "Ling festival" up there for the locals or something.. I can't confirm that though.

I have personally never caught one, or seen one caught for that mater.

Good luck, and definitly post some pics if you catch one. They're a cool lookin fish.

Those are some nice fat ski's and gators man. Thanks for sharing.

Went to the Barrie docks on Saturday, and caught absolutly nothing....very weird!

Nothin weird about that That place can be very hit or miss sometimes.

More kids need to get into hunting and fishing. Instead of roaming the streets at night vandalizing, they could be steelheading, or going to bed early, so they can make it to the swamp before sunrise.

Just a suggestion, it's waaaaay past your bedtime and until you get some miserable weather down there, go eat a bowl of dry oatbran and then drink a gallon of water.

Great advice!!

I think they spread that stuff to prevent black ice from forming on cold humid nights. Here in Caledon they spread the stuff and its good until the next big rainfall. Once they start spreading salt they dont need the brine anymore because the salt permeates into the pavement.

They spay the crap all winter long in Barrie.

Thats unreal man. Very cool.

I think the city is trying to be over prepared for the first big storm.

Last year the first storm hit really hard, and the city only had half the plow trucks converted over for winter (from what I was told). That shut the city down for a day, and messed up the subdivision back roads for atleast week.

It's just a mater of time before someone slides through a busy salt soaked intersection and causes a pile up. They need to be more carefull with the amount they lay down.

Don't quote me on the "salt". I really don't know the exact chemical they use.

It's brutal though. I know some plow truck drivers that spray the stuff. The driver has full control over how far the spray goes. So if they see an oncoming car, then have the full ability to reduce the pressure of the spray, and avoid hitting your car directly with it. BUT THEY NEVER DO!!!

Well, I don’t like to go on NF rants, but my wife is sick of hearing me complaining about liquid salt.

A few years ago, the City of Barrie began using liquid salt on the city streets. They generally spray the stuff in the evening, and at night, before a snowfall, or freezing rain.

The city has already begun spraying the stuff. They where out last night soaking the streets in liquid salt. AARRGGGG!!! There wasn’t even snow in the forecast..

The liquid salt makes the roads slippery. Especially at intersections when the truck is moving slowly, and additional salt is sprayed. I almost rear-ended a guy last year at a salt soaked intersection. I totally lost control of the car, like on black ice. What then, sue the city for make the intersection unsafe causing an accident and injury??

It’s really nice when you pass by an oncoming salt truck, and they soak your car in liquid salt. I can’t see this stuff being good for your car.

OK. There’s my rant.. Thanks for listening.
