Had that happen a number of times when I go fishing in Quebec.

Heard Gardiner's name too much last night and not enough of James Van Reimsdyk's name. I'd be okay with Gardiner being moved and the other being gone with the end of his contract.

Definitely don't cheap out or you will have a bad experience. Get one with a good drag and anti backlash system. The Pfluegers are inexpensive, yet I have had really good luck with them for bass and pike set ups. I use a larger reel for muskie. Finding good used ones is definitely an option I would check out, I have bought a number of used bait caster with good luck.

Thanks for a fishing report! Nice to see someone getting out.

I must say I am pleased that they are going to game seven. What I'm not pleased about is the number of defensive giveaways that happen one after another. I must have been shaking my head for the whole game. Freddie is the king right now. We need someone to get under Marchand's skin during the last game. Get him off his game.

I think the one downfall for lake spawners is that those beds get covered in algae. I'm not sure if that affects the spawn of not.

It was the Kawartha Anglers Association that did the work. It was along the east side of the lake just south of the Big island. I'm not sure the numbers are back, but it's on the right track if everyone continues to respect the slot and limit. Hopefully in five years we will see numbers back to normal or close.

It's looking like that.

God, I hope not.........

I have to hand it to Boston for shutting things down after their second goal. Leafs needed to get that go ahead goal at that time. Their game changed after going down one at the end of the second period and Boston did their job. I believe they are still in their rebuild, are young, even with breaking Leaf records. Defense remains their nemesis.

It was put in place by a local group and the Ministry approved it. They say it's working. That's all I know

I fish Pigeon in the spring and target walleye prior to opening of bass. I did notice that we were catching more smaller fish last spring along with the larger ones, it was still tougher to find fish in the slot. Another thing that I noticed in the last few years is that the walleye move through some areas much quicker than they did years ago. There used to be a good spring walleye bite up unit July in shallow areas, but I find that it's done by the end of June or early July recently. These are just my observations from my experiences. I generally release all of the walleye I catch unless I have a guest and they want to keep some.

So, I'm learning from this conversation that extended warranties from contracted companies might not be a good idea. I don't think I have ever bought one other than my wife insisting on it once with a used car. I thought it was a waste of $$$$. Good luck Rizzo, I hope you can recoup some $$$$.

Derbies and tournies live on the edge. Some say they should be banned outright to solve any problems, issues or complaints. You guys can get quite confrontational.....

They had their chances with those couple of power plays, but seemed to wilt after no positive outcome. Some close calls, but that's no good in hockey. Bury the darn puck like some else said.

Things should start going our way now! LOL

Man, that lake gets hit hard and early. At least someone is getting out on the open water.

I wish you were closer to me also and I would bring my work to you. You should really move to the Kawarthas....LOL

I didn't think you were defending them. These stories make it tough to put any trust in dealerships and garages though.

What the heck do maintenance records have to do with whether you used any of the extended warranty???? What a joke. I can see why you are so frustrated.

What Woodsman said. The areas deemed to be a sanctuary for certain periods can be an issue. You can't plead ignorance either.

I have never seen a person hate a sports team as much as Matt does the Leafs. That usually happens when someone is envious, but there is no indication of that from Matt. LOL Go Leafs Go, I think they can handle Boston if their defense plays better than they did against the Canadiens on Saturday night. They will be gone quickly if they keep up with the turn overs.

Agreed.

Looks like I will be still ice fishing this weekend then.

Joining a club will give you weekday options.
