The one positive about the Leafs not making the playoffs, is that the games don't cut into my fishing time. As for the apology, I see it more as an admittance to failure. Any apology is somewhat hollow at this point, unless they fire the GM and his overpaid cronies.

They definitely change the lake. I don't know if it make fishing worse, but you sure have to adapt to the changes. The weed growth on my lake has definitely changed due to zebra mussels. Some are gone others are proliferating, like the wild rice and some bottom weed.

I would agree with the person that said to connect the horn directly to the battery to see if it works, before going crazy over the wiring.

Was down at the lock in Lindsay at lunch and saw some walleye, along with the usual carp, suckers and perch. Water is a little high and stained, but can see them in there. Worth checking out if you're walking by. I guess that means they will spawn early?

Unfortunately, this happens all the time. More now that we have access to the internet for information. I have definitely seen a nose dive in population since 2 years ago on the lake that I tend to fish for them. There is always a boat or two on every spot that is visible. Those spots usually get cleaned out of most of the spawners. So, the article makes sense.

One thing to note is that the water in those lakes are very clear. This can make for some tough fishing on those sunny days. I tend to catch fish deeper on those lakes in general. I caught a walleye on Loon a couple of years ago and it was around 1.5 pounds at the most. Lost something very big in that lake after fighting it for a period of time, then it just got off. It wasn't fighting like a muskie would, so I assume it was a laker or walleye, probably a walleye. Have only fished Miskwabi in the winter and caught some lakers, mostly small ones. It has potential for some good smallmouth bass fishing. Beautiful area and close proximity to so many other lakes will make up for any shortcomings on Miskwabi!

Gannons Narrows was wide open all winter. The rest of the lake still has ice. It will be awhile before the main part of the lake opens up. The lower end has some open areas, but again, the areas that had over 14" will take awhile to break up. The old river bed will be the first to go. The water level is still way down, so most of the launches would be useless, other than Gannons Narrows Marina maybe.

I'm pretty sure they are a great lakes fish that have finally worked there way into the whole Trent system and other inland lakes. Some were probably planted illegally. I remember catching them in Georgian Bay back in the early 70's.

It's only March 2nd!

I don't know about that. He had the option to sign anywhere he wanted a couple years back when he was a free agent. What did he do? I would love to see him in a Leafs uniform, but not if they have to trade every prospect they have to get him in the summer.

My thoughts exactly.

Went the last two springs and each was completely different. 2 years ago we couldn't keep them off our lines (over 100 fish for two guys in three days); last year wasn't anything like that. We might have caught 5 fish in three days and all were at night.

Aren't they baseball players? lol

No kidding! They need to get rid of some of those guys on the sports shows. They look kind of silly today after nothing really transpired. Those stations must have money to throw away. Oh ya, one is owned by Rogers.

They need to stock that lake again! I think it's a free for all johnnyb, but hopefully I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. I think they want it more of a fun day than have it too competetive.

Our Provincial Government is broke!

I agree that they would benefit from making the playoffs for the experience, most successful teams go through this process, so I hope they can squeak in. I just can't believe that making a few trades (trading assets) at this point is benficial to a team trying to grow into a playoff team. Getting rid of the dead wood would be fine; however, no other GM seems to biting at them. Really, they aren't going anywhere this year, so wait until the summer to add some missing pieces. And I can't figure Nash out, he had the opportunity to go anywhere he wanted when he was a free agent and what did he do? He signed with that powerhouse team he is presently playing for. He didn't want anything to do with TO at that time.

Not sure if somethings brewing, they just weren't performing, so wasting a roster spot that could be filled with someone that might actually score seems silly. Not sure a trade will make any difference for the Leafs at this point. I just can't see them making anykind of playoff run if they actually get into the playoffs. Burke should keep sight on building a team through the draft and minors. I can see making a trade if they were battling the Rangers or Bruins for top spot, but they're not there yet.

For those that like a batter coating, try Brodies XXX Flour (it already has the baking powder and salt in it) It's lighter than most other batters and comes out nice and crispy. Add paprika or other spices if you like.

Let down again!

Just go to where you pay the ticket and setup an appointment for a meeting with the crown and bring the ticket and receipt. The Justice of the Peace should throw it out.

Saw some these when I was there.

That's why us locals answer the question "How do you know when it's safe to go out on the ice?" with "When you guys stop falling through the ice!"

When are you going to Boshkung? I heard it's not safe yet.
