A real crackhead would trade his gun for crack. Don't be so stupid. Anybody in this country that claims there gun is to protect there family from crackheads is too crazy to own one. Period

No, they are saying if you unecessarily put the lives of others on the line, then you should have to pay for it. I agree 100% How many deaths have there been this year alone because guys are being irresponsible?

what the hell are you talking about? I have been ice fishing 40 years and never heard of one fireman or cop death responding to a ice rescue.

i dont recall seeing any warnings until late in the season before these guys got stranded. and at that time it was justified (warm temps, high winds)

 

one of the guys who was rescued had been rescued 2 times previously. you cant fix stupid i guess

 

your statement doesnt hold water bud.

The boy who cried wolf thing is very true. I live here on the west side of Simcoe and according to the multiple police forces and therefore the local media there is never safe ice. On the local tv station OPP, South Simcoe and Barrie officers push the idea there is no such thing as safe ice. I have never heard a positive ice report from the authorities in the forty years I've been ice fishing here. Sure you hear "lots of good ice from hut operator's" or the OFSC trail across the lake from them which is a good sign. But even they say the only safe option on the lake is on they marked trail. The most positive the media center ever gets is to check with the local hut operators when pressured by the same, this issue drives them nuts too.

So if you don't go when there are warnings then you don't fish!

Whats the going rate this year, to park there?

I don't know because it's free for us local yokels.

sniff sniff.. thats just beautiful.... LOL Likley a good reason I dont own a handgun.. ahhahahahaha

I just got copies of the shows myself a month or two ago from mason place fireplaces and woodstoves. Red use to do adds for them. My grandfather was a drinking buddy with red so the show always meant a lot to me so I was thrilled to find copies of his shows.

Hope this helps

This is where I get my fishing machines because I'm cheap / broke.

I even bought one online while participating in the fishing for Tyler derby a couple of winters ago.

Screw him and his report! I like my fish bigger and bigger!

 

Hopefully the freshwater fish in Canada are an exception, I'll be happy if climate change makes our bass grow like Florida largemouth! I'll also give up ice fishing for a year round softwater season as well!

Ban outboards I need ice

Now here is a subject that cheers me up. Bring on the ICE.

I worry about this. To me it's like the boy who cried wolf story. The man doesn't want us on the ice at all. Why would we heed the unsafe ice warnings when they are constant. If something goes wrong on the ice they can always blame the anglers because there are constant unsafe ice warnings. I have seen barrie police officers on local tv (ctv barrie) tell us there is no such thing as safe ice and no one should ever ice fish. Ice conditions reporting is spotty and inaccurate therefore should not be the benchmark that these anglers are judged by.

While ice fishing last year buddy told me he was going to vote for the decepticons so they can scrap the long gun registry.

I have lost my whole fishing season and I'm heartbroken but what about the other costs. The problems for the maple syrup industry was already mentioned in another thread. Now I have seen on the news there is a huge algae bloom in Lake Erie because it didn't freeze. I know a lot of you want to get on with the open water fishing, but there has to be more issues with this none winter.

What do you think?

look at a Nudura ICF build you won't regret it.

I just saw this on the barrie news, so upsetting. So sorry for everyone involved.

My daughter and I talked about using Skype the other day, I have to admit I thought it was just another phone provider (ok, ok, I'm old). Little did I know we can talk to each other via the internet anytime we want and for as long as we want for free (I'm also cheap in my old age). So we tried it tonight and it was wonderful!!!!! I have a really good high speed connection and hers is a little slower but it was still wonderful to be able to sit here and talk with her. Call quality was really good as well, nice and clear, a little pause sometimes from when I'd say something and she'd respond but apart from that I was very pleased with it. I was just wondering how many others on here use it?

skype is awesome.

my question is why salt them at all? this was done back in the day so they wouldn't rot without freezing them. do fish like the salt or something? i just freeze mine for chumming salt free.
