Nice fish.

Very good start.

The maximum number of meals per month is 8 in the "Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish". If a fisherman catches enough fish for 4 lb of fillet in one day, he will not need to keep any fish for himself for one whole month.

The ones we tried were like rubber. I wont do that again.
If a meat tenderizer was used, (or just use the back of the kitchen knife to hit it) it will be much better.

"Lead is identified as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and fishing gear now accounts for 18 per cent of the lead entering and polluting the environment."
......
"Anyone who possesses leaded fishing gear can continue to use it. However, it is preferred that leaded gear be taken to local hazardous waste disposal facilities to be disposed of properly."
http://www.ec.gc.ca/EnviroZine/english/iss.../feature3_e.cfm
"The Canadian Wildlife Service estimates that up to 500 tonnes of lead in the form of lead sinkers and jigs is lost in our environment every year," said Minister Anderson. "That's the equivalent weight of dropping some 500 cars into our lakes, rivers and streams each year."

Hey Leechman:
Interesting experience... I had a similar experience on Jan 30. Caught a few perch at Simcoe and brought them home to Toronto. They were iced between 2 - 3:30 pm and we got home about 8:30 pm. Just like you, I dumped them in the sink and went for a shower. I come back in the kitchen to find out that the wife had seen two of them moving & put them back in the bucket & filled it up with water. In 3-4 minutes both were alive & even looked well. Didin't have the heart to kill them, so we decided to let them be for the night & cleaned up the rest. We woke up to find both of them belly-up in the morning. I couldn't figure out why they had survived a good 6 hours out of water & died in the bucket. Chlorine, maybe?? I wonder.

Rising temperature was one of the reasons. Temperature shock killed those two fish. If you leave fish in the fridge or outside, they may not die. It works about 70% of time.

This Store has frozen smelts for about $3.00/lb, around 4 to 6''. Good luck.

Nice perch.
I second Pure. In their bellies, two of them are baby sunfish, the one in the middle is a rock bass.
-
Those two perch are not dinky for sure. Thanks for the report.

I had the same problem a week ago. Go to Canadian Tire, they sell a sort of liquid in a jar for it. Takes only 20 or 30 minutes. Costs about 4 or 5 dollars. Sodium hydroxide in the solution will clear the hair and fibres for you. Good luck.

Caught a small trout, 15", around the area yesterday. Water is clear, but a lot of floating ice and moving leaves.

Sad to hear this ......

Nice report. There are some big brown bullhead and big perch there. Also, many white perch, some bass, channel catfish, rock bass, sunfish and goldfish there.

Nice pictures. Thanks for the report. The Thames is a great place to fishing. We fished there once, caught a sheepshead. Saw other people caught a lot of silver bass. "The carp" is a sucker, white sucker. There are some fish pictures in the following link.
cameron lake incident made the news?

This is an incident I saw a while ago. A man kept about a dozen or so pan fish around 7'' in length. Not too far from him, a young couple was fishing with their daughter, caught a small sunfish, about 6'' in size, they kept the fish. The man started shouting at them, "Do not keep that fish, that's too small, that's why we do not have big fish any more." Does it make sense? The man fished until dark, kept about 3 dozens or so pan fish and went home. Who did more harm to the fishery. The man with 3 dozens of 7'' fish, or the family with one 6'' fish? I saw this type of thing happen more than 3 times with my own eyes. I only thought about them today, after the Cameron incident, that in all 3 cases that I SAW IN PERSON, the people who asked others to release the fish are actually the people who had kept and/or will keep much more fish later on, this MAY also include tiny fish. I am not saying that the man and the lady from Cameron Lake are the same since I do not know them. But I do have pictures of the guy who accused and "attacked" others more than once, displaying fish he kept. The fish were as dinky as 6" in size according his own photos. A lot of people here are nice and do C&R. But not those 2 or 3 people that I happened to bump in.
