Glad to see some people enjoy sucker fishing!!!

They are a hoot!

I just use a small plastic worm on a jighead. Let it sit in bottom. A real worm is def. Better. But plastics produce too and I'm not constantly rebaiting.

When they stack up near the creaks, they really stack up! Fish after fish after fish! Great way to introduce fishing to kids too!

U generally keep one or two for pike bait, and one or two to smoke

That's an amazing set up

Yep, that new truck is a beaut Dan!!!

please me if im wrong, but it seems a lot of reservations suffer from a lot substance abuse, especially further north, and a lack or high school/college education. i know from my personal experience, a lot of natives that i went to elementary school with, didn't make it past grd 10 or 11. that was also around the same time that the Dudley George fiasco happened. whether the drop outs were related to that or not, i don't know.

 

 

also, nice truck. too bad it has a bow tie on it

Yes and no. It's a problem, undeniable. But it's on par with the rest of the country. It's just perception that makes it seem worse.

And reservations are akin to tiny governments ruling over small amounts of people. It's really no different than our government, it's just more noticeable because of the small scale of it. Easier to notice an issue in 1000 person community then a 6million person community.

I will say, RRFN treaty 3 is ran pretty awesome! I have full trust in our chief as he has proven time and time again to be for the community and has a remarkable track record in being a great human.

All our financial records are are disclosed to the public monthly, the. A meeting for the community to discuss spending, funds allocation etc are up for discussion.

Wanna work? All it takes is saying "yes I wanna work". He will find anything for you to do. Usually something like visiting and helping out elders. Community clean ups, infrastructure repair etc.

There is literally no racism on our res. I'd know. I'm the only white guy there. And I've never been subjected to any racism, in fact I was welcome with open arms. Given ample opportunity to participate in prayers and community events, even traditional practices.

Wanna sell drugs on our Rez? You'll be BCRd, convicted of any violent act including domestic abuse? BCRd, no room for any. Final behaviour on our Rez.

I could go on and on, but it's quite remarkable.

And when hydro rates skyrocketed, we built a solar farm. No everyone has free electricity, plus it employed half the community with good paying jobs.

All the access money is transferred into accounts, for who??? Our children. Every excess dollar goes into trust for every child born of treaty 3.

It's really amazing to watch/be apart of

Great to hear my friend!!!!

They actually describe someone as "Caucasian"? You don't hear or read that. They won't even say black anymore, dark complexion is how they explain it around here these days. Or light complexion for a white guy. I'm waiting for the Cops to name the brand of designer underwear a suspect was wearing.

Aaaand scratch that. The official release names no races.

But does mention it's not a friend that goes by the same name and works for an insurance company in town??? He must have already been threatened???

A 66 year old lady and a 77 year old man.

Horrible people on this planet, I tells ya

It's all just a nickname unless you call them Esox Lucious and Sander Vitruis.

 

 

So there. Y'all are wrong.

 

 

By the way. MNRF byes' only know them as

 

334 and 131....... might have been 121. Someone on the forum will get that reference.

???

 

 

 

there should be a special room on this planet, where people who do this to the elderly, get their due. and I'm not talking within the system.

Now that is being dialed into your unit Mr.G. I have a fish finder now I need a fish catcher.

 

M2B2, quit playing with that thing.

 

The old Black and White Garmin I have has to be over 15 to 20 years old. It sits next to my 2 year old Bird. I see almost exactly the same thing on both, depth, structure, noise, baitfish. I will often just use the Garmin for fish finding and the leave the HBird on full screen GPS. I guess that says a lot about the quality of Garmin, back then anyway.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if you can just swap out the transducer with out having to fish it from stern to stem? Maybe you can, are there unit where you can just change the transducer?

A larger screen would be sweet though???

If only I played with my unit more...

7 kids now...

Thanks Rick, much appreciated.

No prob man!

As I don't know and am curious, how are these types of crimes handled Rick? Does it fall under the jurisdiction of the RCMP or First Nations enforcement? Believe me when i say that I a NOT trying to start anything, just curious and always interested in learning new things.

This was off rez, But yeah it's OPP 100% if it was on Rez it would be OPP with treaty 3 assisting.

Turns out the murderer is not the guy I thought.

No names have been released yet but they did say a Caucasian guy, names will be released after notification of kin.

Horrible nonetheless

And no worries man. Lots of misinformation etc out there. It's not racist or anything to ask an honest question.

So anyhow the murder occured sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. OPP came in hot, evacuated the whole area. Apperently the OPP were heavenly armed. A suspect was arrested late yesterday afternoon.

Sounds like something gnarly went down. I mean murder is gnarly as it is, but to evacuate and come in heavily armed seems off.

And elderly couple, relocated from BC are the victims.

Not sure I wanna hear the rest

I guess the MNR and it's biologists are all American too.

Apperently lol. Daddy just didn't teach them right

 

you guys are wayyyyy too americanized

 

dont even get me going...i was raised calling pike Jack fish as well.

I am American lol.

What's a walleye ?

Better known incorrectly by most as a pickeral ????

still contemplating whether gobies are the worst or best thing to happen to our fisheries.

 

Ive definitely caught a number of bass that were just puking them up.

I wanna see what bass look like in 10 years. At this rate some tournies are gonna have 45lb bags coming in

A lil off topic, learned this camping.

1. Fresh water fish, walleye etc, cooked on tinfoil over a fire with just seasoning salt added before cooking tastes amazing!

2. Pancake mix works awesome as a batter in a pinch

Lol.

U wish we had stolen vehicle issues. Our area is murder.

Another double homicide either late last night or early today and the rumour is it's some nutjob that used to shorefish with me once in awhile in Manitou.

For such a small area we sure get alot of murders, and some you could make a friggen horror flick about

Once you have a decent grasp and want to learn ping speed etc, try fishing heavy current? you'll learn pretty quick what the functions on your until can or won't do

Now get another one and you can sit outside and rattle them together...

That's just mean lol.

Unless your gonna shoot of course, that's cool lol

I'm not sure aboriginals will ever forgive colonialism.

Topic for a chat or a political board though, not here lol

 

Good job, we only keep the 10-12in ones. All the cows go back.

Same here. Exact same guideline

One of my friends, and an excellent angler live in souix lookout.

Ill see what I can dig up from him after he gets off work

 

Is that because it's closer to where you live? I will be coming from down Kawartha Lakes way, so was thinking of the Sioux Lookout area as a starting point. A bit "smaller" water at that end as well, more narrow channels and bays.

No, I just like the area and fishing better...BUT....

Enter through souix lookout is great too! The fishing is great all over lac seul, so I wouldn't blame ya one bit for saving time and taking that route

Either of the two, major benefits are your close to necessities if needed, etc.

 

It actually is effectively doing its job rick.

 

youve got 12 teams in the east right now that are within striking distance of a playoff spot and youve got 11 in the west...what that means is that youve got an extra 7 teams right now that are still generating good revenue because the games still matter.

Yeah I get it. But disagree with it systematically, not business wise.

Of course business is always going to triumph in these matters.

I like when a crappy team had no chance. It made them make moves, develope from the ground up and make a winning team.

The day this ideology kicked in for me is when lindros refused to play in Quebec.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the game. But I'll take 70's through early 90's hockey anyday of the week.

Go watch NHL classics, it's depressingly better than today's game, politics and business removed

OK, good. I thought so, but just wanted to make sure there weren't special regulations in place. Thanks for the replies guys.

 

Now, what about access points? There's a place called Deception Point or something like that, on the east end, or would it be better putting in at a resort so the vehicles are in a parking lot and not left alone someplace?

 

I've camped crown land all my life, it's the best way to go, but a trip like this, going in blind, will take some serious planning, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's just my preference but I'd be looking at the Westside aka Ear Falls.
