  1. If "Coach's" Corner is going to continue for two more years; shouldn't they have an actual coach?
  2. If nobody dies, it should be attempted murder.
  3. Yes, the laws have not kept with the technology. They should relax the requirements to have out license with us when it is so easy for them to verify that we have one.
  4. I wonder where they went through. Most of the ice on the west side is about 2 feet thick; I don't drill too many holes. Lots of people driving out this year. The east side is also frozen this year. I have never seen that side freeze in previous years. Perhaps that ice is less than the ~24" that I have been fishing. In fairness, if you see 15-20 cars and trucks on the ice, you tend to think the ice is safe.
  5. Cheaper than most of your lures. http://www.banggood.com/Portable-Pocket-Pen-Shape-Aluminum-Alloy-Fishing-Rod-Pole-Reel-Combos-p-76315.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=facebook_cpc&utm_campaign=Flshing_pole_desktop_new&utm_content=vivian&utm_design=03
  6. I once caught a bull head on a Jitterbug... that is a strange bait for the species, although I was targeting large mouth. I used to dive for lures a lot. Once I found what looked like a couple of pieces of an old shoe glued to a fish hook to fashion some sore of home made spoon like bait. Somebody was fishing with a strange bait.
  7. Yes, you can catch gar, and many other species, with panty hose. However, it is not the most comfortable thing to be wearing in mid July.
  8. Here is the link http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dailybrew/could-ontario-cottage-country-home-armoured-tank-test-183544938.html
  9. This would have been a cool purchase for any motorcycle enthusiasts. Not someone you think of cruising around on a Harley. http://news.msn.com/world/holy-high-hog-popes-harley-sells-for-dollar327000
  10. I am not sure where you are located; but the marina on Baptiste Lake is, or at least was, a Lowe dealer. They are not a big dealer, but they do carry Lowe.
  11. Any weight inside the car, including driver and passengers, counts towards the 1,500 pounds as well. Two people in the car and their gear leaves less than 1,000 pounds for towing. I would consider car topper; perhaps a canoe with an outrigger.
  12. Agreed, thank goodness that Mississauga is not part of Toronto
  13. I don't ever recall having a show in Scarborough. There were a few shows in Pickering though; that is probably what you were thinking of. The old Pickering Flea market location hosting some fishing shows in past years. That location is now a shopping centre. I don't think the new flea market location has ever been used for a show. I think the person who is organizing the current Spring Fishing show may have been one of the ones who organized some of the Pickering shows.
  14. Which support centres? The federal government does not administer welfare.
  15. I don't really have a specific model to recommend; but I would recommend a water proof one. Even if you never use if for underwater pictures, just not having to worry about it getting it wet is great. An iPhone could turn out to be an expensive option for fishing pictures.
  16. The Direct Energy building is city property. A few years ago Miller banned guns from Toronto owned properties. The Sportsman Show moved to the Convention Centre (which is owned by the province). With Miller out of the picture, the Sportsman Show was able to move back to the Exhibition. I have heard that there traditional March time slot has already been taken by another show. Thus, the Sportsman Show had to find a new time slot. The time slot that they chose happens to occur the week before the Spring Fishing Show. The time slot they chose may have been partly or entirely an attempt to take the business away from the other show.
  17. I can understand your logic if it is still a new camera. But if the battery is dead the camera is probably several years old and not worth much. My first digital camera cost me about $800; but I probably couldn't get much more than $20 for it now. Technology changes fast.
  18. Ceci: "I just kind of showed my back a bit hoping he'd slow up and ended up face first in the boards and then they scored right on the play" By his own admission he saw the hit coming, so he was not unprepared. He also admitted to deliberately turning his back to Kadri; so if he was vulnerable it was due to his own decision to turn his back to a player about to check him.
  19. Haven't you always had to have it with you? As a matter of fact; at one time the fine for not having your license with you was higher than the fine for not having a license at all.
  20. Re: "How to you mimic this presentation?" http://www.hoverlure.com/fishingTips.html
  21. The so called "every day transactions" are a bigger concern than on-line purchases. It is usually the restaurant and gas purchases that lead to fraudulent charges. On-line purchases are less of a concern.
  22. First time I have ever seen them award a goal without the puck going in the net. I guess the logic is that he is entitled to a penalty shot on an empty net... which would just be a formality.
  23. I am with DundasStealheader on this. The wording indicates that those over 65 need to carry ID to prove it; but it is not clear that those under 18 to carry ID.
  24. That would be AV Fishing Tackle at Sheppard and Shorting. That is where I usually buy my minnows. I think that Lucky's at Sheppard and Midland sells bait too.
