saw a big golden trout caught on the lower niagara... amazing it wasn't eaten by a muskie, lol.

Michelin LTX/MS are the best tires Ive used. Do not buy BF Goodrich Longtrails, that's for sure, lol.

My wife and I are part of a group of 6 TiCat season ticket holders. I love going to CFL games. I haven't watched an NFL game in a decade...likely even longer. Just picked up 7 tickets to the Hamilton Bulldogs OHL home opener against the Generals. Love supporting Hamilton Teams!

i'm not on FB. i know of the one FB post (shawn i believe) where it was originally reported.... any other FB posts on the subject?

I understand by the reports the MNR was called and they advised if they get involved, they would only release the fish .... much like the coppers, they wouldn't do anything

i'd say they were caught "intending to cheat" but no, they didn't actually cheat as they didn't follow through with it. not sure if legally that changes things.

i actually don't think the discussion is stupid.... i've fished for almost 30 years, and have heard of many cheaters being caught...but never a situation quite like this..... many fisherman are talking about it....

Agreed. This situation really does suck....nothing can be done because the two "cheaters" legally didn't do anything wrong. Now I'm curious if other tournaments can "ban" these guys....is that legal in Canada? Can you refuse entry to a public event when technically they weren't caught cheating....?

What a surprise.

Ok, I'll bite LucG - let's see how you play this. You find the statement "insulting". What specifically about the statement is "insulting"? Only two points were made by Moxie. 1) Ontario's fishery is facing challenges. 2) Just a sponsor checkout girl fest. Now, Ontario's fishery IS facing challenges.....just look at the lakes that are getting pounded by bass tournaments every weekend...I'll use Muskrat Lake as a prime example. Tournaments every weekend from opener to October, and not a single bass gets restocked in the lake....just stuck, toured around the lake, some die, then released. Now, number 2, even you have to admit it. Someone gets a free pack of senko's and as a result is willing to SELL his soul out for more tackle. I'd wager 90% (screw it, 95%) of tournament anglers who wear SPONSOR clothing aren't getting paid a dime for wearing the logo's. Being a "pro staff" angler in Ontario does not mean a "professional angler" rather, a "promotional angler". Cronzy said it best....tournament fisherman in Ontario look no different than a Nascar driver, lol. I've never agreed with anything Moxie has ever written on this board.....but I can't see how what he said was "insulting". In fact, I'd say it was rather accurate. edit: didn't know w.h.o.r.e would be auto corrected to "checkout girl", lol.

most would agree, but there are die hard fisherman that need competition (and the chance of money) in order to fish.... whether it's bass, walleye, or trout/salmon. I certainly am not one of them.

Much of my family from Finland were sent to North Bay, Sudbury, Temiskaming, and New Liskeard when they immigrated.

LoL

I agree.

Go Leafs Go. Can't wait for the first person to blame the leafs success (or lack thereof) on their horrible fans who fill the arena year after year (and will again this year).

Bill, no one has proved that the money they won was done illegally. I agree likely it was...but that cannot be taken from them...at least not legally.

oh, just in case you are wondering what our current fearful leader was saying at that time: Canada’s current Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper -- then the leader of the Opposition Canadian Alliance -- co-authored a letter to the Wall Street Journal telling Americans that he strongly disagreed with the prime minister and supported the war. “This is a serious mistake,” Harper wrote, along with foreign affairs critic Stockwell Day. “The Canadian Alliance -- the official opposition in Parliament -- supports the American and British position because we share their concerns, their worries about the future if Iraq is left unattended to, and their fundamental vision of civilization and human values." In 2008, Harper -- by then prime minister -- announced that he had changed his mind and now felt that the war was a mistake. Harper, a joke then and a bigger joke now. Unfortunately he has pulled Canada down...which is not a joke.

no, no, we must arm ourselves and save the world....buy more war ships and bombers we can't afford....don't forget to heavily arm our "soldiers" (remember when we were peace keepers?) ... lets join in the US's crusade to police the world....lets just do what big brother tells us to do.... "yes Mr USA, anything you say....we'll join you"... "bend over and spread it you say Mr USA, no problem, how wide should I spread it"? March 17, 2003: (discussion on whether Canada will join the US in the Iraq invasion in the house of commons) “If military action proceeds without a new resolution of the [united Nations] Security Council, Canada will not participate.” Thank you Jean. I'll always admire you above all others.

this place kills me. GBW, 99% of us are on the same page, lol.

Concord Adex?

great to hear. This should silence some of the naysayers who say you don't get the service when buying from the states....great stuff!!!

Doug at Bay City definitely knows his stuff!!!!

fishindevil, last time I lost a cap (and replaced it at shortwave), you replied on a thread and said to do that....so I did....and I have not lost a cap since...

i bought two last time at shortwave.

Bay City is great for expensive boats....not so much for the lower cost boats....DT power sports is the same way. i'd buy a 17' with a 75hp or 90hp, based on your 3K weight restrictions.
