This is a great conversation. It is interesting when these grey areas in the law come up for discussion. My gut feeling is that if an angler were to be in a situation such as this, doing everything to remain in compliance with the law is the best bet. They would then have a due diligence defence. I ...

If that is not the case (check for the arrow that directs you to the engine), it could be your connection to the engine. It could be dirty or seized. Use a small screw driver and push in the little ball while someone pumps the squeeze/flow ball on the line. Failing all this, get a tune up! Call Lau...

I'm confused. Is this whole thread due to someone who had the right idea, but used the wrong term? If so, I can only say... wow!

The maximum claim for Small Claims Court is $25,000. All forms are at www.ontariocourtforms.on.ca

You could go it alone, but for a few hundred $, get a lawyer.

PS - add everyone in your sale chain as a Defendant.

About 4 years ago I purchased a 16’ Starcraft runabout. It’s a 1967 model. The previous owner did not take very good care of it and it is a quite battered and weathered, but amazingly it doesn’t leak a drop. I can’t speak to other manufacturer’s products cuz I’ve never owned them. But if...

The real tragedy in this whole thing: 1) Successful Plaintiff gets costs from unsuccessful Defendants; 2) Unsuccessful Defendants look to insurer to cover liability; 3) Insurance rates go up for everyone as insurance payouts are a collective; 4) Unsuccessful Defendants third-party the goof driver 6)...

The only good reason I can see for the registry is, if the Police respond to a call at a house they know nothing about, they now may be able to determine if there are weapons in the home. This works for the safety of the officers and the safety of any people (family members) in the home. Other than ...

As far as I know, most e-coli closings are caused by goose droppings. Most excessive counts are from fertilizer run-off from farming. Hell, I've even heard of a closing because there was too much dog crap in a park adjacent to the water body and the run-off was contaminated.

Etiquette is dead my friends. I cannot fault the OP for snapping. Even if the OP was mistaken about the order of ramp operations, the guy on the ramp needed reeducation about common human decency. The human thing to do would have been for the ramp hog to talk politely to the OP about what he thought...

If you get a chance, get out among the islands around Kingston and up the river towards Gan. I have had great luck with bass and pike in the multitude of bays around Wolfe Island. Also around Cedar and Milton Islands and the Spectacles for walleye, bass, pike, perch, whatever. Don't tell too many pe...

If you have wheels, the folks have already suggested some good choices. If not, I have often seen folks fishing up into the Cataraqui north of the Lasalle Causeway on the west side. There are sizeable pike, walleye and panfish in there, and the ice should be good. The current is primarily on the ea...

Thanks for all the tips guys. I have a bunch of bullit weights so if the split shot don't work I'll try those. I would love to try jigging in the weeds but my buddies are kind of stuck on the trolling thing and it's not easy to break them of this habit. I'll try it on my own some time while I'm up t...

Set-up question

So, I’m planning on trying something new next year and I was wondering if anyone out there has tried this before. I usually like to fish for walleye with worm harnesses and bottom bouncers. They seem to work great. But when I go to a friend’s cottage up north, the lake is shallow and the best wa...

That's what I thought. I imagine it would be like eating a pet dog. Not my cup of tea but in some cultures...

Good luck out there,
