  1. When I bought my yak I wish I had enough money free to buy the peddle type like u guys have! My Wilderness System Rage is nice, but peddling would be a lot easier for fishing than paddling!

    Open Ramps

    If I had a boat like that I would have it at Sugarloaf in Pt. Colborne so I could fish Erie for pickerel every day!!
  3. After I retired we lived near Midland for 8 years. At first our kids all liked bringing their families up to visit because we were just a 10 minute walk to the neighbourhood beach, but by 2007 they didn’t want to come up much because the 400 traffic was so bad every weekend!! I still remember in 2008 that the 400 highway was listed as the highest volume traffic highway in North America, even outdoing the 12-lane Los Angeles freeway!!
  4. Thanks Digger! That means I wont lose out on my hunt, since I do hunt alone on a 320 acre family farm, and you can’t “social distance” any better than that!
  5. Just great...if we follow Ford’s lockdown rule we lose out on the first 1/3 of the spring turkey season! Aaaargh!!!
  6. Free gas on Hwy 20 east of Fonthill is where I always go. Costco is a great price, but Im not carrying a propane tank that far inside my vehicle just to save a few bucks. There is a place in Welland on. Prince Charles and West Main, but he is more expensive than Free.
  7. Trumps lawyers had nothing but B S. If u think they did well, then u have a warped MAGA sense of reality! At least 7 Republicans had the guts to do what they all should have done!! he is still a loser! I’m looking forward to the next few months to see what charges the D A’s in New York and Georgia file against him.
  8. Chris, its not a 365 day plan - you buy the amount you want to put on the card, and THAT AMOUNT IS GOOD FOR 365 DAYS!

    I usually buy $100 at a time because quite often they will offer an additional $25 bonus for spending $100.

    I just keep checking my 7/11 account on a regular basis to see the amount I have left, and top it up whenever it gets low.

      And yes you have it correct...u put money on your account, and they deduct per minute for your usage.

      I added a data plan to my phone last year ($10 per month fee) because I was texting a lot to family, and it was using up a lot of my money...now the monthly data plan covers my texting costs.  
      if you plan on texting a lot the data plan is worth getting...otherwise I wouldnt bother getting it

  9. Tyler, where do you usually go to fish on L. simcoe?

    I guess im going to have to think of hauling my gear up there if I want to get any ice fishing this winter.

     

  10. I need to edit my boat ad as I forgot a couple of things,but it says it needs a moderator,, and wont let me edit.

  13. Gunner, I got this reply back today from Ray Blades, the editor of the Out of Doors magazine:

     

    Thanks for your email and support of the mag.

    We are trying to get information from the government, but as of now there have been no fishing or hunting season closures in the province. 

    The province’s mandate for closures of outdoor recreational amenities across the province has closed municipal boat launches, dock, and piers.

     

    We are working on news stories about these issues that will hopefully be on our website later today, and updates as new info is available

     

  14. Gunner, after reading your response to my post, I just wanted to tell you that I emailed Ray Blades, the editor of the OOD magazine, to ask if he has heard anything re the spring turkey hunt, and weather we will be able to hunt this spring with all the gov't restrictions being put in place.

    I'll keep you posted on any reply that I get.

  15. What part of the rec canal where you fishing today?

      Yea, Dain gets the runoff from Mud Lake, which dirties it up.

      thanks for the canal info.

       

  16. Can you send me the Bertie cam web address please?

    see my post re your licence query.

  18. A BIG thank you for all your work on ths website over the years.

    While I haven't been a prolific poster, I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's hunting and fishing excoursions over the years, and especially learning about local fishing.  I'm glad Tyler is going to continue with the site. I was sad to think we would lose such a valuable local resource after all your years work.

  19. Thanks.

    I guess I'll just have to see when I can get him out and go exploring to see what we can catch.

    Right now I'm trying to get his 15 yr old brother his turkey
