Looked like the tongue to me.

I'm with you on this one Beans. We all have to be aware of the new regs and that walleye are a species of concern in the Kawarthas (otherwise being protected). Please put those wally's back down the hole as quick as possible. I'm sure most anglers that have fished in the Kawarthas over the past 25 years have seen the walleye population decilne and understand the reasoning behind keeping them closed during the winter.

Kessel is showing that he is better than any of the prospects for the 2010 June draft, so I would take a known entity over an unknown one for sure. Yes, it sucks that Burke traded away the draft picks but he still might make some deals to get some back. I am a Leaf fan, but would hate to be their coach with the way they play from game to game.

Hang in there Bigredfisher and be patient. I don't think the boats will be flying off the sales market at this time of the year. You shouldn't miss out on one if you are waiting to think about the deal, and if you do miss out, another will come along. Nothing wrong with asking for advice here, especially with some of the scams that are showing up on other websites.

That's a lot of money for a used boat. Take your time if you're planning on spending that kind of money. My buddy found a new 18' Smokercraft with a 115hp for under $20,000 from a marina that was closing. A better deal will come along if you're patient.

We already pay through our fishing licences!

I must have missed that forum. I understand that they are one in the same. Also regarding the colour pattern- they are actually quite easy to paint because of the definite markings.

Pigeon south of Grenadier Island still has open water where the main current flows, so it will need some colder weather to tighten up for the opening.

Bad news for the ice

Right on JF! It, at least, gives us the right to complain. Whether we're right or not.

I'll have to contact you when I find something that might interest you. I'm sitting here feeling very hungry at this moment, thanks to you.

It sounds like there are plenty of informed individuals participating in this thread and most seem to disagree that the HST is a good thing. As to our Provincial leaders-they have a lot to make up for if they want the support of many in the next election. However, they slipped through last time didn't they. That being said, I don't trust any of them anymore and I'm sure that's why voter turnout is always low. I never miss a vote though.

I sure hope that anglers avoid Gannons Narrows.

I call them Canada Jay aren't they Grey Jays?

Well the lower end of Pigeon Lake has started to freeze over. I have heard that there are a few anglers itching to get out there and try the new panfish season. Not sure that the lower end will produce as it is very shallow in the winter and we don't have much luck with panfish in the fall in that area. I'm hoping to try north of Grenadier Island once it is safe. Anyone alse planning on trying that area?

Okay, they're all at fault. It would be nice if our provincial government would learn how to handle the tax dollars and not waste them, then maybe they could stand up to the Feds. I think the bottom line is that tax payers are fed up with the waste and the arrogance of all politicians and then they have the nerve come to us for more when the trough is empty. I really believe that they should have to walk in some of our shoes before they make decisions that impact all walks of life. We have many individuals, neighbours, friends and family that live close to or below the poverty line and the HST is not going to help, it doesn't matter who's to blame. I don't however, have a problem blaming Dalton. He is after all the leader of the party. I'll lay money on it that he doesn't look at the price of gas before he pulls into a gas station. Thanks for letting me vent, as I feel that this is going to have a huge impact on me personally, as well as many others that I know.

A Liberal eh? None of this HST helps the consumer who does not get cost of living raises every year like politicians and some others do. I will have to cut out something in my daily life. That will hurt whoever I was planning on purchasing something from. I'm sure there are many more in my situation; unless you can show me how this helps consumers. Yes we need taxes to provide services, but we don't need them to waste this money on initiatives such as E-Health to name one little mistake the Liberals have made with our hard earned tax $$$$$.

I can't believe that I haven't yet since we list the same location. Do you hand them out at your door???? I'll be by at lunch.

So, two pages of posts and still no explanation of how any of us will benefit. McGuinty was quoted as saying that he has not heard of anyone that is oppossed to the HST. I guess he isn't an OFC member for one and he doesn't read letters to the editors in the various papers. There was quite the smug looking photo of Dwigth Duncan in the paper today. He just makes my blood boil. They are all so condescending to think they we pions don't understand economics. I certainly understand economics in small town Ontario when I see the doors of the local stores closing up on a regular basis and there is only one thing going to happen when the HST is impossed. There will be further closures. Plain and simple. I would love to do something about this now, but I don't play in the same league at this point, but will have my say come election day. The sad part of it is that it will be too late at that point and I can't see another party dropping a cash cow. Did someone mention mafia???

I believe that you can sell farm raised product. It might even taste better.

They have yet to show me how this is going to be beneficial to anyone but themselves. If I don't get a raise next year, which I won't, I will have to cut back on something in order to keep my family income the same as it is now. AND, no their little reimbursement (election ploy) won't cut it.

I don't think it's legal to sell Ontario game. You might have to look for someone that farms some kind of deer.

I used to call them pickeral as a kid, but the proper name is still walleye isn't it.

I'm feeling for you, big time. Dealing with insurance companies is probably one of the things that most people would love to avoid. They have no trouble taking huge monthly payments, but when it's time to use all that great coverage they tell you that you have to cover a claim, the real truth comes out. What they try to get away with is criminal! Especially when the accident isn't your fault. It almost liked dealing with a loan shark or someone like that.

Great pictures to settle the pike debate. Caught some of those chain pickeral down in Florida, but didn't realize there was a population close by. Now people just have to call walleyes what they are, walleye, and that should solve the confusion of some about the two families.
