In the post prior to yours, one of the most prolific guides refutes that. Guides are defacto ambassadors to the sport since they are often the first contact and therefore first impression of sportfishing that many people get. Guides are even MORESO ethically bound to uphold not only the law, but sound principals in conservation. It is not only a matter of honour, but of survival. By guides encouraging legal and ethical sportfishing, they ensure the long-term health of populations and therefore their businesses. We must stop treating fishing like a right and more like a privilege.

Where did you find this information? Don..are you a member of the SCGFA? If so I have charts somewhere and if you're going to the meeting Monday I'll bring them there.

you can go over and get them anytime. The site is only closed to posting.

I still can't believe fishing is the deadliest sport on earth when I watch stuff like this.. http://break.com/index/ski_gliding_mount_eiger.html

Don't live in Toronto or Port Perry...can't afford to move for just a week...dang.

Thanks Terry..wasn't aware of that. Need to see if I can alter that.

Please take a moment..even if you're not having issues...need to know!

See..misfish...guys who catch big walleye..are generally quite smart. I don't know why that is.

The success for treatment of retinal detachment is based primarily on the quickness of treatment. Go now.

That is insane!! Awesome fish. Congrats to blyght. I know some pro's that would kill to catch one like that!!

Call who, Gman?? No one is coming..but point taken. Still, this is the best we can do given what is done. We do not, in any way shape or form, condone or suggest to members or anyone else that they confront poachers. Don't do it. They are criminals. Get evidence, phone the MNR. We must remain ethical and legal even if those around us do not. It is not worth risking your safety. We can shame the poachers and shame the government for creating this monster. Put the phone number 1-877-TIPS-MNR into your cell phone and make the call.

Even if he has five in the water, GMan..it is still illegal. LSC is a one rod per angler lake. It is not the job of anglers to confront people when they are poaching. It is the job of the MNR. Unfortunately, due to cuts, there really isn't much effective enforcement left. Anglers should not confront poachers..they should get as much info as possible. Leaving it on the internet for 8 days just might get the attention of someone who matters to let them know this is what has become of the resources. If we turn blind eyes to these guys and don't make as much fuss as possible, this kind of destruction will continue. The politics of all that has happened to the MNR is only just beginning. Don't let them sweep it under the rug.

Do you really think there is someone with their own boat, dozens of rods, rod holders, survival suit etc who doesn't know it is illegal to troll with two people and EIGHT lines? The thing looks like a west coast salmon trawler.

Do you sleep?? Ha ha.. You've been to Lakair haven't you Squid??

Just like Tony descrived ... this is pretty much what it comes down to. Imagine if we took all the OPP off of the 401. At first, only the worst of us would take advantage, but eventually the numbers of speeders and dangerous drivers would climb till it seemed there was no point in remaining legal. This sort of stuff will get worse before it gets better.

Another thing I noticed was in one of the other shots Ron sent was that the hull was very stained. IF there is a marina nearby he may be a seasonal docker.

I think he gets another ticket for having the numbers too close together

Well we narrowed it down to 2 possible boats, Terry. Too bad we don't have access to the registration database... Anyone here work for Revenue Canada??

I looked at all three pics and came up with 46E 39557... Just my opinion on what those nubers read. Based this on 3 different angles and using a few jpeg repair and fractal plug ins.

In for a few.....

I have a fractal program if whomever has the original will send it to me I can make it clear rick at ofncommunity dot com

Happy Turkey Day! Deep fried turkey has to be yummy, but it should likely come with a defibrillator.

IT is now "Net attendant"...I couldn't fit "Live Well Monitor" into the field.

As we pointed out on the old site, everyone had to re-register. I will set up your post count for you. Never got an email from you...

Tell her just to hang on to the net for a few more posts...
