He held a contest once. I won a custom painted lure. It has caught fish. 😀

I was accessing it via "regular" internet in the late 90s. But it may have started out differently.

I think OFC started in 1999. I found the "Zoo" board in late 1997 / early 1998. I am not sure how long it had been around before that.

I plan to go to the Sportsman Show. I find that it's usually a bigger show with more to see.

I was a regular and a moderator for a time. I found this board from a post on the "Zoo" board. Andy operating hunting and bird watching boards as well.

I think this guy heard about it. 😉

What if we wait 30 years and fusion still isn't available?

If you're buying direct from Amazon there shouldn't be any problem at all. Amazon also sells for third party suppliers. There may be some risk from a third party supplier; but even that risk is small.

At Ringwood, we treat the salmon with vitamin B baths to combat the effect of thiamase. I have heard figures of 10% mortality from EMS (early mortaliy syndrome) relating to thiamase. 10% isn't going to destroy a fishery on it's own. But an additional 10% on top of other challenges such as less than ideal river and creek habitat may prevent a species from establishing a self sustaining population.

It's bigger than Simcoe. I am sure it can handle a bit of fishing pressure.

Spawning male bowfin often have a lot of green on them.

Are you referring to Bombardier that manufactures aircraft and public transportation vehicles; or BRP that manufactures Ski Doos, Sea Doos, etc.? They are two completely different companies.

Boat Tech in Pickering services Minn Kota's and other brands.

I had a guy ask if something he had already bought from me was still available.

Not really new... https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/shoreline-outboard-motor-lock-0798595p.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwsdiTBhD5ARIsAIpW8CISM88Y9X93bqd7OmNIj0H4eKw2z5_6KwnarpV6P9ybemUlmJx1yEIaAjZfEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=427

Probably short. Almost all small boats are. You can measure it. I think it should be around 15" for a short shaft and 20" for a long shaft.

It's been over two years since Evinrude was shut down. Their smaller motors were made by Tohatsu that were priced about $1,000 more than the same more with either Mercury or Tohatsu decals on them. Bass Pro usually has a sale on Mercuries in the spring. That is where I found the best price. I purchased a 5hp kicker there four years ago.

I think that Nissan would have actually been a Tohatsu with Nissan decals. A 9.9 Merc would be a Tohatsu with Mercury decals. I haven't any any major issues with either my 2008 50hp Mercury or my 5hp Mercury/Tohatsu.

I have contemplated it. I thought of using some 1" square tubing to widen the gunwale.

Here's an idea for an aeriated minnow bucket. https://www.facebook.com/levi.johnson.35574/videos/280406620899285/?fs=e&s=cl

Empty? Or, just too cold for propane?

I hope that anyone with a hut on the ice in that lake installs a red light on their hut just to taunt him.

Perhaps he misunderstood when he heard a women talking about hooking something in the ice hut https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/02/10/ohio-hudson-mayor-craig-shubert-ice-fishing-prostitution/

I have a set of 18 Brita water filters selling for $45 for members. I also have a couple of decorative fountain / waterfalls for sale. See Kijiji ads https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1603881644 https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1603860557
