I sure hope that they do not get a foot hold in Niagara.

Small world.......do you remember the old locks where the lock master would let the kids jump into the Amhic side of the locks when draining the water out of the locks?  The Schmelher (I know I butchered the name) but it was an old school tavern that burned down.
 
Had a family cottage on Maple island and frequented the area as kids and now we vacation there for a week a year

I am just trying to get some updates on my boat squared away (trilling motor, 2nd fishfinder).  But I have some trips planned
- Couple of weekends in April pickerel fishing Detroit River our of LaSalle (while in town visiting in-laws)
- Bass Opener at buddies cottage near Parry Sound
- Early season spring trout fishing on Lake Ontario (out of Fishermans Pier)
- Lake Erie (Port Maitland & Leamington)
- St. Clair out of Jeannettes Creek
- Week on Lake Cecebe
- 4 days on Red Cedar Lake in late June
- Canoe fishing on French/Pickerel River 
 

Tough hunt in 89B this year.  Managed to get a beautiful 14pter down the week before the controlled hunt but have not seen anything since then.

I use a Zodiac Premise 1000 Flea Spray spray on my clothes that has Permethrin

I hope they never get a foothold in Ontario - it would be devastating to the farmers, deer and turkey population.

Just got back from Anjigaming (AirDale) and we had a great time!!  
 
We drove straight through the day on Friday and stayed with Jenn and Martin at their lodge at Hawk Junction and after an amazing breaky at the lodge we drive to the air base at Wawa for our 9AM departure.  Flight in was smooth and we were unpacked and on the water by noon.  We were the first group on this lake in 2 years (it was closed for most of the pandemic) so we were excited about getting out on the lake.
The boats were 14' Naden's with 8hp Merc 4 strokes and ran fine.  Fishing was very good once we got a good lay of the land and by the end of the week we landed close to 200 fish with the largest pike in the 42-44" range and the largest Walleye was in the 24" range.  We had a couple of fish fry's for lunch and only had rain blow through a couple of times in the week but the bugs were thick when the wind died down in the evening.  The cabin has a solar array and a sat router that allowed us to get WiFi so we could text and send pics of the trip.  
The week went by quickly and I am already looking forward to next years trip!

Cabot Arms in PA is founded by a Hamilton boy from Cathedral.  Had many pints with him over the years at the Gown.  Well done Rob!

I understand they are busy but when I call mid April and I book a time to drop it off in June I do not expect them to keep it for almost 2 weeks and then tell 'should' get to it by the end of the following week.  

Does anyone know of a good marina for service?
 
I tell you getting service is next to impossible during COVID. I ordered a swim platform from Dewildt in Hamilton over the winter and said let me know when it comes in and I will bring my boat over to have them install it. It arrived on April 6th and I called April 20th to get an app't to get it installed - I left them 2 VM's and 3 emails and they just went dead. I finally called and spoke to someone and they gave me an install date of June 1st.......I dropped it off that morning at 10AM and as of yet it is still not done. I decided to call EOB Wednesday and if it is still not done I will just pick up my boat and they can keep the platform (I have not paid for it yet).
 
Just as I suspected.......I called Wednesday at 3:30 to get an update and I was on hold for 15 minutes and was disconnected. I called back and finally spoke to someone in service only to tell me that they can probably get it down late next week! I told them just to forget it and just bring my boat around to the front I am on my way to pick it up.
 
I swear these guys would not know service if it latched on their leg and started humping.
