Just remember it's illegal to transport live fish....

Most of the 'tune boats on the lake have them and I hate them. I actually stop my boat and turn away from them until they go by...

Yah but the eye doctors are gonna make a killing off us from using those lightless wonders. Can't stand them...

You mean you didn't use any of those rivets i sent you...

BUBBA

For a few more days if you can drill a hole Cudz... then back to one..

Paul..

Thanks for the morning porn Raf !

You telling me that after you catch and release 2 Bill you stop for the day? Didn't think so.. So if you catch 20 and let them all go...statistics say about to 15% to 20% die... lets say 4 If you keep 2 and release the next 18... there may be 3 or 4 dead as well...heck maybe 5!

I hear ya Drifter, I'm just playing devils advocate..... but there's no law against that. In fact it's mandatory by law to shove them dead... co ck mouthed slot sized pickeral back down the hole in the winter.

I presume you meant to say if you KEEP your 2... ... but what's the difference if you catch and release 20 all day... or keep the first 2 and release the next 18. Same mortality rate in either case..

Exactly Rick... and Zero possession fish like Sturgeon.. I always ask the CO but what about that??? and they never answer that one. Just harp about how the Muskie better not be brought aboard or held for a picture if you only have a conservation licence. Then I go to the glove box and give them a copy of the letter I have from the CO's and biologist out of the North Bay office, for them to take home and read in the can, that states they'd never even think of charging someone for taking a picture of an OOS fish... or they'd have to charge the guy that catches and releases all day as it's no different. Dang... here we are in this again... lol

I thought it was the day we were all together... guess it was just me and Glen. Asked the CO on Nippissing the same question last summer and he told me it was what they were being preached out of Peterborough.

Like Mike I'll take two of the ones on the right... but I'd like mine in yellow and blue please !

1/10th hammercarp? Top exec of National Grid of New York (Mohawk) makes 1.35 million US a year... about 1,700,000 Cdn

Yah.. but you were there for the lecture Rob! Remember we have CO's that feel if you net or lift the fish out of the water you have possessed it and have not immediately released it. Take a picture of a zero possession fish and he'll charge you for sure... at least Bruce Ward out of Midland will if it's a Muskie ! So in this case his "rules" would apply to someone already retaining their limit. Why many anglers live release in the hole on simcoe, when still fishing for the other species, after getting their two whities or lakers.

They heard you sneaking up to the door Mike...

Anybody at that level.. or over 100 grand for that matter loses 48% direct to the government. There aren't any magic loop holes to hide it in, unfortunately.... unless they have a deal that they are being paid dividends vs salary or that the company is covering the taxes.

Oh Bernie... just pay the bill already !

Yep it would be a great way to spend the day Mike.... but unfortunately, Ron, I appear to have a line up of boats coming at various times on Saturday for crack repairs... I'm sure you'll have no problems finding willing participants.

Didn't have the money for progressive dies... oh oh...

What ?

I shouldn't say NO snow... I did see a bit on un-maintained trails/roads... but nothing that couldn't be driven thru.

It's not just the small ones... all the 6 cylinder Verado's 200/225/250/275/300 are the same bore/stroke with HP being controlled by the computer and probably injector port sizes. Just be sure to leave the 9.9 cowling on so you don't have to register the boat...

We used to pull in off #17 and stop at Waterfall Lodge quite often to camp, on our way to or from Fushimi in Hearst... and I don't remember ever catching a fish in the lake below the falls. I hear the lakes above it are great... wish I'd known that then... lol Do a search.. pretty sure these lakes have been discussed before.
