Rock Awash or Dangerous rock I believe.... Here is a good resource for CHS chart symbology. http://www.charts.gc.ca/pub/en/products/Ch...dumb ass/SectionK.pdf Sherriff

Well, this is sad news for sure. It's really too bad. The big box stores sure do kill the little guys but this is not only in the tackle industry. I am sure everyone here has shopped at Zeller's, Can-Tire, Walmart, Price Chopper or The Barn before and these stores have also killed the little guy in the food industry, auto parts, furnature, clothing industry and almost anything else you can think of. This seems to me to be just the way it goes. It is terrible for the little guy but we are all guilty of going to the big box stores of some kind! I do miss the smaller hardware stores since they had better one on one service but most of us rush to Home Depot for hardware. Couple reasons. Selection and price. I try to support the little guy at times but with gas prices the way they are, I NEED to save every cent I can just to keep fishing so if a small shop has something for $100 and the big box store has it for $80, sorry to say, that's where I am going. The big box store! Sad but true. Good luck to all the little guys out there. I wish you all the best and will support when I can..... Sherriff

Nippissing has it RIGHT! I have been going to Callendar for a few years for the May 24 weekend and last year I decided to be a hotshot and try something else. Out fish everyone with my new secret. Well, everyone did well, me, SKUNK. Jig and a worm, that's it!! Sherriff

Way to go UB, nice looking fish and glad you managed to get the new set up to fire... Sherriff

Thanks Sherriff

Anyone have any info on where to get the best price on 24"x24" patio stones in the Hamilton area? Best I found was close to $6 each. No one seems to have seconds in this early in the summer.. Thanks Sherriff

Any of the BIG pet stores (PetSmart, Petcetera etc) have them. The smaller ones are better since all the jackets have the lift handles. I was told that if you try to lift a large dog out by this, it will break it's ribs. Little ones are ok....I had one for my shepard just in case..... Sherriff

I was in Dover yesterday with the family for a drive. Stopped by the Arbour for a couple foot long dogs and then saw the same birds. I also wondered what they were... Sherriff

I have a German Shepard mut and I have taken him and a few 4-5 day trips. The first one he had never been in a canoe or boat. He had no choice but to settle down. I made a spot in the middle of the canoe with a blanket and kept it dry and he was fine. He would even go down and lay in the canoe while we were taking the tents down. Guess he did not want to be left behind. I am sure your beagle will be fine. I also bought a dog life jacket because we did run a few rapid as well. Here are a few pics.... Sherriff

Here is one from the bird sanctuary at Mountsberg Conservation Area. Sherriff

I agree with Tony on the Government jobs and avoiding some Fleming courses. I too took F & W and after seeing the job prospects, I quit. During the common semester, I found I really enjoyed the computer courses and switched over to Cartography which was starting to lean more towards digital mapping and GIS, rather than traditional mapping. I did my three years and have never had trouble finding good paying work in my field. Couple things, be prepared to move anywhere and everywhere during the summers off in order to work in your field no matter what the pay is. Coming out of school with zero work experience really hurt many of my friends that took the same course. Also, after grad, go anywhere you can to get work/experience. I took a job in B.C. right after grad and stayed for my 6 month contract and then was talked into staying for 6 more. Great experience. I left that job to take a job back here with Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans. Great place and stayed there for 3 years. Cut backs were killing government programs so I left there too. Again, lots of job in GIS in every municipality, town and still in government. You can make it work but as mentioned above, I would avoid the CO, Fisheries type of careers.... Sherriff

Mr J is correct. Services Canada now does this and issues new boat numbers as well. Sherriff

Pier 4 is still frozen, or was two days ago. May be open today. 50 Point is open Port D is open and I think Bronte is but I am not 100% sure. Fisherman's pier under the Skyways i not open. Gates locked. Sherriff

Awesome work there. Looks great.. Sherriff

I was out on Sunday (in Hamilton) cleaning up 1000's peices of dog crap from the winter. Many had some nice crawlers under them. I think I will wait a little longer before I start picking...... Sherriff

Nice work Wayne, glad to see you getting into some numbers... Great report. SHerriff

Thanks, will for sure keep that 10mm my limit. Good call on the foot oils....Nasty. Thanks

Thanks Gerritt... Sherriff

Looking to purchase carpet and underpad and have it installed for many rooms in my house. Anyone here do this or know of any good places for carpet in the Hamilton area? Thanks Sherriff

Great report. Incredible looking fish down there. Sherriff

Hooked, call me if you need it. I have all the doggie poo you want. Big and small. Shepard brand and boston terrier poop. Lots to choose from. Always looking for better ways to get rid of the poop so you can have it.... Sherriff

Amazing, thanks for sharing! Sherriff

I hope this is a joke. If not, this is truly bizzare to me. I don;t get it... Wow..... Sherriff

Great looking new ride Irish! Looks amazing..... Sherriff
