I think we're talking apples and oranges here if a 1993 Glasstron is the comparison boat. And as for clipping a rock and sinking?... you could chainsaw a hole through the bottom of my Ranger or a Skeeter and it's not going to sink. I understand like all of us, your knowledge is based on experience, but the glass boats built specifically for fishing are incredible. If you get a chance to get out in one, take it.

Bang on information. Aluminum has it's advantages over glass but ride isn't one of them.

Ranger.

Ever trolled when ice fishing?? https://www.theweathernetwork.com/us/news/articles/extreme-weather/inventor-transforms-ice-into-spinning-carousel-see-it-here/78222/

Like I said in the other thread, great call on dumping the politics Art. When this site is defined by whether it has politics or not, the party's over. Glad it's gone and if people can't live without it, I'm sure they'll find another place to vent.

Gee I thought this was mild!! I guess you can only chirp so loud when it takes 4 periods and a shootout to beat a bunch of rookies!! LOL

I'm interested in this as well. My gas model runs great but loses pressure within seconds of squeezing the trigger.

I'm soooo jealous!! LOL Congrats on the great addition. I want to put the 112lb model on my boat for fishing offshore structure on Erie. I think it would be the kitty's behind out there. Now I just need that cash...

Seriously? Art, I'm with CPH...good on you and the other owners for making a much needed rule adjustment. People have to recognizance the change was intended to make things here better, not as a punishment.

Got it! I think we still agree, I just wasn't digging down deep enough between the daily and possession limit concepts. Thanks!

So what? It's a conversation.

Then we agree... I wrote "... nobody can have more than a possession limit. And to me, this makes sense."

I think it may be correct... Answer from the MNR: There is absolutely no problem with you giving fish to a friend or anyone else and they do not need a fishing licence. The same goes for game and is widely used by hunters who have participated in the OFAH food for the need y project. That being said, there are a couple of points to remember. a) Those fish still are part of your daily limit. In other words you cannot take your girlfriend out fishing with you even though she does not fish, but ‘give’ her a limit

Good on Bobby

This is a tricky one but a great discussion. Tell me if I'm seeing this correctly... Theoretically, 1) if fish given to a non-licence holder remain as "possession" to the licence holder, and, 2) if the same fish cannot be counted toward two separate possession limits, 3) there is an open agreement to where the fish came from. So Angler A catches his limit and Angler B catches his limit. No issues. Then they both give their fish to Norman No Licence. At what point do two limits of legally caught fish become illegal? Can Norman keep these fish as long as Angler A and B acknowledge the fishes origin if required, AND, neither Angler A or B have enough fish in their personal possession that would put them over their limit INCLUDING Norman's fish?? Well, this would be hard to nail down but that's not the discussion. And since it would be very difficult for law enforcement to enforce, they generally make it easy on themselves and simply state, nobody can have more than a possession limit. And to me, this makes sense. Being a non licence holder is not really an excuse for not knowing the law. We don't forgive poachers with no licence, newly landed immigrants, people from Ottawa, lol kidding. Maybe I'm seeing this wrong but at the end of the day, the MNR would not like having an escape clause that can put a pile of fish in one place on a technicality.

Teach a man to fish and he gets one possession limit. Give a man fish and he can do time and loose his truck. LOL

I wouldn't want that label on me. I tried to read the name on his practice jersey but couldn't make it out. As you said, probably not a name we'll see too much.

Oh and now MacArthur out. Any idea why a Senator would hammer their own player and end his season? Bright bunch...tick tock..the end is coming... LOL

I agree. In fact, I've spent this season hoping they don't make it. It's all about picks at this point.

Well Capt. Obvious, I think it's safe to assume that 95% of the teams in the league are in the same boat. It depends WHO goes down in an injury. McDavid, OV or Crosby would never be missed right? And Ottawa is so deep in talent they're impervious. LOL They suck HEALTHY!

Here's my two cents...it has nothing to do with managing extra topic folders and everything to do with the business of the forum. Why is having two folders, fishing and non-fishing, such an issue, when in fact there is already: ODC Team Discussions OFC Team Entries Boats, Motors Fishing Tackle, Miscellaneous, Fishing News, Announcements, Photography, Computer Help, In Memorium, Product Reviews There isn't ONE folder now!...and a separate folder for product reviews?? LOL The last entry was July 2015! Personally, I don't care. I suggested it a long time ago and all hell broke loose. But to have 10 topic folders that get relatively little use in comparison to the main Discussion forum and to say we don't like having separate folders is silly. Is having NF topics separate a good idea? Maybe not...maybe having close to half the daily activity based on nothing to do with fishing is bad for business.

Regardless of whether this forum would benefit from separating fishing from non-fishing, I can tell you from 30 years experience dealing with people and processes...CHANGE is EVIL...good change, bad change, change for the sake of change, whatever...people hate change. It scares them.

First of all, I don't believe that using number of replies a thread gets is a way of determining the quality or validity of thread. Especially when comparing two topics of complete difference. While fishing has a finite set of rules and techniques, politics has as many opinions as there are citizens...even more if you consider how many opinions there was by Canadians during the US election. Secondly, we are not generally directly affected by fishing related material whereas politics affects us all, like it or not. Ultimately, I couldn't care less how Joe Blow puts the minnow on his hook. Try upside down . Starting a thread about politics is like asking a question with more than one right answer and then being shocked there's 82 replies. As you mentioned, it's usually always the same people posting reports and commenting and political issues....BUT it's usually the same people starting the merry-go-round political threads. Personally, I think you like the attention your threads get. You're a smart enough guy and you've seen enough times how these threads turn out, yet you can't resist firing them up. Hey, until the day comes that politics are off limits, knock yourself out. I don't make the rules so as long as you put NF behind it, you can cause as much controversy as you like.

Oh you rebel
