30 lbs should be fine for a 10' boat; but I don't think there is any downside to going with more thrust. You can just use a lower power setting if want to slow down. Some extra thrust may come in handy when turning into the wind. I would try to get a motor with a built in Maximizer. That will give you infinitely variable speed and longer battery life. I have good luck with Energizer batteries which are pretty reasonable at Walmart.

Wait until she sees your post.

My understanding is that polar bear numbers are currently increasing. Although it is likely that global warming may eventually wipe them out.

Are you set on a bass boat? Other designs are better for rough water.

Yeah, if I was an owner I would want my players wearing masks. In what other occupation is proper safety equipment and option?

Check your zoning laws. You may not be allowed to widen it. I had a driveway paved about 15 years ago. Concreat was way more expensive... about 7:1. If price is a major factor then I think you will need to go with asphalt.

Well if you don't use your card at retailers then you should be safe

Metro East Anglers usually meets at Ringwood Hatchery on Wednesday Evenings and Sunday Mornings. Ringwood is located on Markham Rod in Stouville. We will also be stocking rainbow in the Rouge River soon and also helping to operate the fish way at the Milne Dam. Salmon are pen reared in Whitby and Bluffers Park. These opportunities are all in or around Durham region. Let me know if you want more information about any of these opportunities to volunteer.

I don't think banning roe on the Ganaraska only would have much impact. People would still harvest the roe to use on other rivers. The ban would have to be province wide in order to have any impact. There would be a lot of legitimate resistance to a province wide ban on roe to stop the slaughter of salmon.

Are you saying that the atlantics being stocked are the same size as the chinooks being stocked? That is not true in most cases. All chinook are stocked in the spring from eggs collected in the fall. Atlantics are stocked at various stages in their life cycle. Some yearlings are stocked and those fish are likely similar size to the chinooks being stocked. However, most atlantics are stocked at a much earlier point in their life cycle; some still have their yolk sack when they are stocked. This needs to be taken into consideration when comparing the numbers of atlantics stocked to other fish being stocked in the lake. Chinook are stocked to create a fishery, and stocking larger fish is the best way to do this. Where as atlantics are being stocked to establish a self sustaining population. The findings from the MNR is that stocking younger fish will lead to better imprinting, ensure that fish can winter over in the rivers, and is better for producing a self sustaining population of fish. Since chinook are managed as a put and take fishery, imprinting and the ability to survice the entire life cycle in the wild are less important.

I am a member of Metro East Anglers. We operate Ringwood hatchery and currently stock the Lake Ontario watershed with coho, rainbow, borwns, and atlantics. We also help opertate the fishway at Milne dam.

No, only the federal government can do that.

Isn't illegal to charge someone for signing their passport pictures? I know it used to be. You no longer require a professional designation to be allowed to sign passport photo's. I think anyone who has a passport or has one for a 5 years can sign passport photo's. It should be too difficult to get them signed.

14 if you count the Toronto Blueshirts

The way I read the post, his friend is sponsored by Humminbird but bought a Lowrance for his personal boat.

I attended a seminar on this topic a while back. They mentioned that Lake Ontario bass spawn in July and that the were not even protected by old seasons. A delay in the opening season for Lake Ontario was under consideration at the time. Perhaps some of the other large water bodies have a similar late season.

I think it is all Sail stores. I picked up some items from the one near Bass Pro today.

Don't forget to take height into consideration too. You will probably be okay with a 17' aluminum; but it is best to be sure.

Thanks, I guess I will have to go another time.

Here are the top two fish from the annual Frenchman's Bay ice fishing tournament. I helped a friend organize it. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152558589545282&set=oa.482571615124358&type=1&relevant_count=2&ref=nf http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152558589180282&set=oa.482571615124358&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf It nice to see kids take three of the top five spots. I recommend crampons if you are heading out this weekend. It was slippery out there. I feel twice my self.

I am a consultant who travels to the U.S. often enough that I need to fill out a U.S. tax return. I was planning to head to the office in Niagara Falls, New York on Monday. I just realized that it is President's Day on Monday. I did a search on Google and found some information that indicating that federal offices are close on Washington's birthday (Feb 22) instead of President's Day. Does anyone know for certain if federal office in New York state will be open on Monday?

I don't usually have a problem.

Vito Cirone at 416-580-9530 I haven't fished with him personally, but he does have a good reputation. I think he was used catch the salmon for tagging back when they had the million dollar salmon.

I think an angled reel hand would make more sense. Then the reel would still be properly setup for a software rod.

And ask to be paid for it too?
