I have also seen guys mount the electrics on the side of the smaller boats. Bring some 1x4 and 2x4 for shimming if required.

I think I know which lake you are talking about and they should change the tourney to January. LOL I have always had luck in January and squat once February comes along. I usually use one set line and jig (tipped with minnow) with the other. Most fish are caught in less than 30'. Try out from the boat house on the south west side of the lake.

The Hydro One debate will go on for ever. I was told (by electrical inspector) heating with electricity was the way to go when I built my house 26 years ago. There isn't a day that goes by that I wish I could come face to face with that person again. I never turn my baseboards on unless I'm away and have always heated with wood. As far as not using during peak periods, we do it, but the rate will continue to go up so they can meet their bottom line. They still need the level of revenue to operate on the present scale, so the less hydro used by the masses, the more you will pay for it.

Life's short. Get a house that's done and spend your time fishing, hunting and loving your wife. Just saying!

Tarpon Springs is a great area. Some of the homes/properties are amazing.

But they're "ladies"!

WOW, that looks amazing. No shortage of meat in your household!

Just read in the Lindsay paper that he also got banned from organizing, managing, working at or running any WALLEYE tournaments for two years.

Jimmer did they drive the fire truck out on the ice to save you. LOL, not quite. But they did come out through the cottages and yell for us to come to shore to speak with them. The trucks were at Rotary Park. I actually felt bad for the fire guys, they were being called out to assist someone and just doing their job.

The OPP tried to get me and friend to come off the ice last year when we were on 20" of ice on Chemong. They called 3 fire trucks to rescue us. We stayed and few angry fire fighters left the scene knowing they were called for nothing. Not sure if it's one officer or the whole detachment in that area that has a problem with ice fisherman. Most of us understand that there will always be some areas that aren't safe, but some can get carried away with the cautions. However, I haven't been out yet this year, but probably will this weekend. Most that have been fishing are saying that there is over 5" on Chemong. They always put out the warnings of unsafe ice then post the chart showing what is safe; basically contradicting themselves at times. Be cautious out there so you can enjoy the ice fishing season.

There's always next year!

I haven't seen what Mike describes, but it would probably work better and the fish would get spread out more on release.

The decision has been made regarding the walleye tournament a few years back that was held on Sturgeon Lake. They lost some fish and this was the result. http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2013/12/17/tournament-boss-let-walleye-die-mnr

Cliff: Next time go to Bobcaygeon for your sticker, it's still done at the Chamber and a lot quicker.

It's bad when my hydro bill would be well over $100 a month even if I didn't use any! Unfortunately the liberals will probably get back in due to the strong support from TO. Not that any other party will do much different if elected in. Letters to the editors in the Toronto papers that slam the liberals are usually from out of towners. Don't really see many people within TO bashing them. I think more and more are feeling the same when you look at voter turnouts. I know guys that said they aren't going to vote and that goes against everything they have ever said in the past.

I actually saw some nice size fish right on the beach early in the morning. Kind of kicked myself for not bringing a rod. You obviously cross a causeway to get to the island, so that's a possibility also. I'm surprised that they don't push the fishing more, because the mangroves look amazing.

I was talking to my daughter yesterday. She lives on the lake and says it's safe. Lots of guys fishing. However, play safe.

Call Lawrence Park for ice updates. They should know the conditions.

What, you're not used to that yet? LOL

Where do I sign up? LMAO This is so true.

I have used AVG for years and it works for me. You might have the trial version for the paid program. Uninstall it from your control panel, then download the free version if you need free virus protection. Same with Cliff. Did you check to see if it's a program that you can uninstall from you control panel. Just a thought. I also use CCleaner and it works well.

I have a HH and yes it gets stiff when it's cold. Your body heat will loosen it up, but I still find it uncomfortable.

That's crazy.

Thinking about something to say here. But can't come up with anything.

I have to give the guy credit. He caught a huge fish and released it. He knows what he caught and doesn't really care what others think. It sounds like it was someone else that wanted everyone else to know about it. He is an outdoorsman that doesn't need recognition.
