  1. Until then the best we can do is shake things up buy voting against harper and hoping that the 3 parties WAKE UP....

     

    It has been a long time since this country has had a leader with the balls to stand up and face the truth and be proactive.

     

    The lies and blame game is getting old.......

     

    Not one of the 3 main party leaders are able or worthy of running Canada.

    ???

  2. Ive got in a fight over this once with two americans that were illegaly fishing the canadian side and encroaching

     

    Not only did one guy get beat up but they both got arrested too(when they landed on canadian soil to start a fight).

     

    Nowadays im older and wiser, anyone encroatches i just be polite and maybe make a few friends for the day, if not i just move.

     

    Its not worth the hassle nor the stress to let it bother ya

  3. The problem with pickerel is that everyone wants them for dinner. I certainly harvest a share of them, but I put more back way more than I keep. Our cottage lake has a decent population if you know where and how to target them, but if myself and the others who are on them where to keep limits every time out, how long would that last? They are bar none my favorite fish to catch followed closely by fall steelhead. I make sure that we keep enough each summer for just a few fish frys, and the rest get put back, or tanked for a little bit until we get a picture, then released. I will sometimes keep 2lb smallies in place of picks if we want a fry up . They taste pretty good and are pretty prolific most places. I wish more people would stop looking at bass as a catch and release fish, and treat them as a food source. The picks could use a break. It's nice to see the government take a firm stance somewhere . They won't do it here!

    Funny you mention eating more bass.

     

    The first one I ate was horrible(deep hooked 4lber), tasted like mud and had very soft flesh.

     

    About a week ago we kept a few limits of bass at about the 2lb range, some a lil smaller. Fried some up and it was really good! Hardly a difference. Tried some in a boil and that was good too!

     

    I keep a few limits per year of walleye, but I eat mostly pike and crappie.

     

    Crappie numbers up here are unreal, well same with walleye pike and bass.

     

    But if I wanna good fry, crappie is better then walleye IMO anyhow.

     

    But I think Ill be keeping a few more bass in the future.

  4. They walk down the street in the middle of the day here. Residential area. They're pretty comfortable, to say the least.

    Wow thats pretty nuts!

     

    They just pass through out here in the country, same with wolves, stay a few days and move on.

     

    But GENERALLY they stay in the bush and not on our property

  5. Manitoubass......can you send your dogs down to my place to take care of the coyotes that like to sit on the front lawn? :)

    Lol.

     

    Too busy defending against the ones here right now.

     

    Sounds like we have a few encroaching the back yard last few nights.

     

    Dogs are going nuts to be let go!
