  1. This is a mess eh........

     

    Reports are that some of the millions CRTC collects from cable companies is to go for local television. Somewhere along the way its not enough. In both accounts the local television and cable companies can't say anything bad about crtc so they are sutck in a war with a middle man that is horrible. CRTC is the blame for this also they are the blam for the crappy movies on TV. They tell each provider every month which show and which movies are allowed to be on.....that's crap.

     

    If this comes to bear fruit and cable companies get charges a little more from CRTC then no doubt we will get it as they think they have been giving CRTC plenty over the years. But now its direct extra payment so then they should have a say on which stations to pay for as far as local stations go. Or worst case they make there own local stations for each area and keep it in house ( Smartest for them). If I were in Shaw,bell, Rogers shoes..... my thought would be been if I'm paying more you better give me some television for my viewers or I won't pick up your channel.

     

     

    Just my thoughts

  2. I may be drinking again but I go against all I have read or heard guys on here doing. I putt my weights on the bottom. yeah yeah I know. But it works like a charm. I actually got it from a guide I had one day and have used it ever sence.

    Here is my set up........ depth will vary some depending on water.

  3. Yeah fonts are really easy to change at any point. Also the angle or shape of the font . Weather its straight or wrapping the skyline and fish or whatever......... that can change at any point. Its the skyline and the fish that are the only hard points to mess with. ( Not really that hard. lol ) My problem is I have thousands of fonts,,,,,,, trying to pick one I think everyone will like or the best out of 4000 is a tuff task. but once picked its a 3 min job.

     

     

    I agree with the logo from a distance...... but: Examples FEDEX WALMART PETRO CANADA MCDONALDS BEST BUY STAPLES UPS etc etc, none of those are fancy. None of these logos sell clothing etc. You wouldn't where a shirt unless you worked there. But yes I know where your coming from. We just need to look at logos that are not to much, simple but attract both young and old. I'll look at logos from companys like....... other fishing products, snowboards, ski's, bikes ( Harley ). I think thats more of a logo that sells.......

  4. I think its to bad some are giving the guides a rip. Supply and demand and there is alot of demand in Calgary with the Bow at our door step.

     

    I think they earn every penny for the most part. I know i make more money working shorter day and not having to deal with teaching someone you don't know and trick/ trade to have an enjoyable day.

     

    I own my own little boat ( 12')but still get a guide 3-4 times per summer. It just sets up a great day on the water. They do all the work of rowing and you get to enjoy fishing. I have no doubt I will do it the rest of my life. maybe even more so as I get older and don't or can't row a boat to where I need to get to.

     

    Tipping,,,,,,,, wow this is a good one and I agree its earned. No that i found a couple great guides and they know I will reward them things are great. Of the start...... it was simple. if your acting like its a race to the pick up point to get $20 and no re-call. If your back rowing tons, friendly, staying on the water above an 8 hour day ( a normal work day ). Then you get much more. The lowest I have given a few years ago was $20 tip. The most i have tipped was $200. Both were on the bow. Both guides earned every penny. lol The $200 guy even offered to give some back cause he said he had fun too. lol. " No no, its yours buddy" He worked his butt off from 8am to 8pm. back rowing, walking the boat back up river sometimes 4 time through the same run cause we hit so many. It was fantastic.

     

     

    Just my 2 cents. But love what they do.

  5. put you rod down, in a safe spot. calmly walk into the trees, and return with a fairly lage branch. preferrably heavier on one end. approach said proffessional angler, all the while staring him in the eye. stop roughly 6-8 feet away, reamianing on the up hill side of him. pause briefly...and politly ask him again. if that doesnt work, throw your stick into his hole, pick up yer rod, and keep movin.

     

     

    My vote is on a safe distance and kindly ask 1 more time.......... then begin to throw baseball size rocks into his pool / run. If he objects,,,,,,,,, start throwing them at him.
