  1. I recall as a kid the eclipse of the early 60's. It was a Saturday and we were either driving on vacation going north or maybe coming home, no hullabaloo, emergency measures act or any BS like that, got somewhat dark for a couple of minutes , dad might have turned the headlights on, pretty soon it got light again , expect this one much the same as I am staying home with all the craziness out there edit : would have been this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_July_20,_1963#:~:text=A total solar eclipse occurred,for a viewer on Earth.
  2. I fished them off a 3 way swivel with the sinker on a dropper , lower Niagara, never a problem with line twist
  3. The Italian " Pedersoli " stuff is a step up from the low level Traditions stuff
  4. Could try Canadian Tire , only in Alberta though
  5. I got a cabbage at .49 cents a pound at Superstore yesterday, lowest price I've seen in a while, big ones too
  6. Many years ago we camped at Round Lake where the Bonnechere River enters, did alot of canoeing on the river,didn't get much other than hammer handle pike and the odd largemouth
  7. Got caught like that one time on Cabbage, gone are the days of a whole cabbage or turnip for under a buck
  8. Lazer Audio is about the last real shop that knows what they are doing around, CB is about dead
  9. cops are no more firearms experts than master mechanics but they use guns and vehicles
  10. Erie and Ontario both fluctuate greatly with wind direction , offshore colder , onshore warmer
  11. MTD makes a lot of different brands, Yards works and Troybuilt are some of them, should be easily found
  12. Forget about pistol, that option is gone thanks to Trudeau
  13. It was a local hotspot for Largemouth in the 80's, got fished heavily, probably excessively. Sure ain't the same with Campbell's Marina gone, new bridge over the QEW and all silted in.
  14. Herons can get something pretty big down 😀
  15. Used this stuff as a kid , really worked but they took it off the market along with the 100% DEET stuff, Smerch will remember it https://mhc.andornot.com/en/permalink/artifact15221
  16. John Gadzo , good guy , lived along the lake in Grimsby, left us in 2018
  17. Follow him on Facebook " Fishin Niagara " good source of info and conditions on the upper river
  18. then your left eye is your master eye, that is the determining factor , not if you are right or left handed, same as shotgunning
  19. shouldn't pike be going up ditches off the canal and Lake Erie to spawn very shortly ? I recall going pike spearing in a few creeks off the Welland River as a kid in the 60's, think it was early March
  20. Thanks , think I would have been around 8 at the time, I caught some Rock Bass on a level wind, bobber and snelled hook with worms, Dad had a spinning outfit with mono, think he used a Mepp's type spinner for the trout.
  21. The ORA shoots there, I think some Swiss club as well https://ontariorifleassociation.ca/ranges-descriptions/
  22. I remember naturalized Browns in a section of the old Welland Canal , probably near the GM plant on Glendale , back mid 50's before the stocking in the great lakes, Dad caught a few when I was a tyke
  23. You could be right, maybe it is down ? street view Nov 21 looks like it is still in use
  24. I live not far from the Elizabeth Street pumphouse, they were at least a quarter mile offshore not in close proximity to housing , steel shot could never travel far enough to hit the homes , complete BS . Noise is not an issue , the DNA rifle range with full auto fire is far noisier just down the road near the new development west of Casa Blanca
