Fish-Hawk.net Get-Together
Thanks Bacon....I'm not sure if I had said it that it would have come off the same way...
Bottom line...
many people expressed paying $12 to pay for the launch was not cool with them..
People also mentioned potential issues with the launch at Baitcasters depending on water levels...
As for rocks at Arnprior....didn't you say you dinged your prop at Petrie again?... ....I'd bet 75% of people on the site have fished the area..
Who said it was muskie fishing day?..I'm probably bringing Kim and the kids for the day....I probably won't even wet a line myself...
The goal of the day was to get everyone together at one location...for those who come..great!...for those who don't, that's your choice....
If driving from the East end of town is an issue...talk to Salmon, Markus and Steve G....they'll probably be leaving the day before to drive 6 hours to make it...
oh and by the way...I wish Arnprior was my backyard....
Relax SW, the world isn't against you....

Seaweed.....I don't understant this part of your post,never mind that I live in Kenmore....not Arnprior.... What dosen't make sense,The chance to take two good friends to fish in one of Canada's greatest Fisherys, the chance to experance world class Salmon fishing...the oppertunity to see the look in the eyes of a friend, as they tangle with a twenty Pound plus fish, the bend of the rod, the sound of the reel screaming against the drag...It may not Make sense to you ,....but it dose to me,...I wish I could fish the same 1000 yards of River all the time and have a good time doing it , like you,... but i can't...so I will go the Extra Mile for My Friends, Seaweed I hope one day you get to where I am now..... Happy with lifemakes about as much sense and Goin fishin in Port Hope everyday if you live in Arnprior.

This East vs West thing has gotten old.
First thing I want to say is thanks to RJ for spearheading this, and thanks to everyone else who is backing him up with offers of help or ideas that will help make the day even better.
Second, this is a very public message board. In that regard, please use best judgement about stating your displeasure about anything. Everyone's opinion is welcome, but I don't believe anyone wants to create an environment on this board that makes it difficult for others to feel like participating online, on the water, or at Arnprior or at Petrie Island.
When accusational tones are able to be read into messages it has the effect of discouraging others, such as lurkers, from participating.
Just don't do it on the public threads.
RJ is organizing this. It is no easy feat to accomplish and kudos go to him. If he chooses Arnprior than it is because it is the best place for the most people. It may not be great for everyone but nothing ever is.
As for the democratic nature of this message board. I'm not sure what that comment is supposed to mean Mr Weed, but as far as I know, everyone still has a choice.

I'll have to confirm it, because it's a couple days before my wife is travelling for a week, but I'd love to come and meet a bunch of you guys... and if someone has room for a rookie, it'd be much appreciated...if not... can you rent a boat up around there?? Maybe I'd be able to bring my Dad and my brother in that case...
Pulling foot from mouth.....
OK
Opps I did it again. I would like to officially appologise for stirring up RJ and Phil. Hey I was just trying to make a point .... my bad. No biggie. The last thing I want to do is alienate all of my fellow whacky fishing folk.
So lets get back to the business of fishing. Who knows I have been known to change my mind you know and might even show up to catch the big fish.
