    It's been way busier up here in the past 2 weeks. The tim hortons has even reduced their hours on the weekends to try and stop any infected people from the city from spreading it. Mon-thurs 5am-10pm fri-sun 7am-3pm. So they can stay open for locals working during the week, but limit contact with people just driving through on weekends.

    Also a 10 cent spike in the price of gas, but only fri-sun and only the 2 stations that are in town on the highway coming from the south.

    And customers must show photo ID for proof of local residency to enter grocery, LCBO & Beer Store. Non-residents are not welcome here!!

    And utility providers (electricity & propane primarily) are identifying non-residents by billing addresses and disconnecting utilities. 
    + LEOs are using license plate scanners to identify non-residents & issuing $750 tickets. 
    Also,  people from the city are waking up at the cottage and finding slashed tires in the cottage driveway!!

    ??? Sounds like Bull to me.

     

    Correct. It is all Bull except for raising gas prices Fri-Sun (a standard practise in cottage country). My ‘contributions’ were lifted from my local cottage association FB postings. Right or wrong, these rumours & stories are posted by local full time residents to discourage the seasonal residents to stay away.

    “Got called by my boss to do an emergency job in Algonquin. Had to put up gates to keep people from entering and using different facilities and places. The CO who showed us the sites stopped at one bush road that had open gates but was completely snow covered. He said take those gates and hardware to use at another site, since nobody would be stupid enough to try driving up it. His words lol

    Went further in, all the way to Mew lake to put up gates, then headed back towards east gate. Got to the bush road to remove gates, and there is a car full of a Chinese family from Toronto, buried in the snow. 

    Tried to convince me to pull him out, and i said "No, what are you doing here? Call caa or the police or i can call the police for you."

    I kept asking him what they were doing here, halfway through the park on hwy 60......not very politely either. As we pulled out he was still on the phone with caa. Would love to see that bill. 

    Just stupid. STAY HOME. How many people did they contact, doing a 7-8 hour round trip? Just to see a moose?”

    It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a blatantly racist comment on our forum.

  4. Its a date. All kidding aside, the rod/reel combo would be a welcome addition to Sean’s collection. The assorted tackle should go to someone who can repurpose it. I have tons of tackle still in original packaging and I would like to see it going to someone who will actually use it. Lots of great karma in that tackle :)

    Yup!!!

    Even better if you use an FG knot as it's more streamline and doesn't catch on the guides.

    Especially when using heavier leaders.

    This ^ J. Much quicker than uni 2 uni  

    Here's the best instructional video. You can skip the first couple of minutes & git @ 'er.

    Now when are you going to come visit Home Lake so I can give you the ‘grand tour’? 

    ? J.

    We're still searching for the perfect property and Home Lake is still on the radar. Will likely ramp up the property hunt again in the spring. I'll let you know if we'll be in the neighborhood.

  7. Back at ya J.

    Yeah, I've followed this thread from day 1 as a part time Leafs fan. Nothing wrong with 'sweet revenge' if gained through dignity and respect? There's a BIG DIFFERENCE between fun banter and bitter vitriol ? I'm not going to quote them or anyone in particular. Let's just say it seems some are making this 'personal'.

    Keep it clean and respectful Young Grasshopper and you'll stay welcome aboard my boat ;)

  8. WOW!!!
    As a casual observer & an occasional contributor, I gotta say that some of these exchanges are beyond fun banter?
    It's easy to be a bully behind a keyboard. "Little Man Syndrome" comes to mind?

    And I ain't talking about Matt.........

    Maybe this thread should be renamed to "TML Lovers Only, If You're A Sens Fan We'll Happily Gang Up On You" ????

     

  9. I pray that I may live to fish
    Until my dying day.
    And when it comes to my last cast,
    I then most humbly pray:
    When in the Lord's great landing net
    And peacefully asleep
    That in His mercy I be judged
    Big enough to keep.
     

    My most sincere condolences to Kevin's family and friends. I hope is final journey was peaceful.

    never tried a laker, but where I get 'em, dont think ya wanna - been working on my Salmon recipe for a couple years now, and this years version is serious smoked candy 

     fillet and skin and let em dry out in the fridge for 24, then a soak with indonesian soy (ketcap manis), water, and whatever special seasonings are speaking to me. 48 hours to 5 days, depending on size of fillets, and schedule.  3 hours in the smoker with JD chips and last time I used cassis liqueur (black current liquor)in the pan, and drizzled maple syrup on them just before putting them in the smoker.

    didn't last long,

    If that's the result you brought to Home Lake earlier, I give it ??. I'd rate it higher, but I only have two thumbs ;)

    Confession: I stashed a healthy portion and it is vacuum sealed in my freezer for a winter treat :)

    Looking at pics #3 and 4, you see the red meat before smoking and then the dark brown after.  That has to go...far far, away before anything.  That stuff can really impart a bad taste.

    ^^^^ This. You gotta trim those nasty blood lines/spread out B. Smoked, fried or baked, in any fish leaves a nasty taste :(

    Thanks B, but other than the cost being 3 times as much, I don't see where you can buy marine grade locally. I doubt it is available at HD and such?

    I think you'll find the smaller urban centres (i.e. Georgetown) lumber yards more accommodating in bringing in special orders such as MG plywood? I helped a lake neighbour source MG in Parry Sound earlier this year. Both Rona & Home Hardware Building Centre were more than happy to special order without surcharges. We went with HH as their delivery was only 5 days as it was added to an incoming stock order. 
    I didn't call by phone, I visited both stores to inquire. It's too easy to say "no" over the phone ;)

    Edit to add: You will still need2 part epoxy to seal cut/trimmed exposed wood & those sheets are extra heavy
