I just saw this. What a dick. Hard to believe this kind of ignorance still exists in the angling community.

A great little video on Tommy Thompson Park.

Great fish and a great story. You are a lucky man to get the rod back. Well done.

Nice. Looks like a great time was had by all.

I just read some about an angler that is soaking their monofilament line before winding it onto their reel. Has anybody ever heard of this? Is there any advantage to doing this?

WTG guys! Nice perchies.

I was sent this series of pictures via email a while ago. This took place in northern Ontario. Two Conservation Officers rescued this moose from a lumber mill settling pond. I finally got around to putting the pictures into a slide show. Hats off to those guys. http://s588.photobucket.com/user/hammercarp/slideshow/Moose%20Rescue .

lol. Thanks for posting that Mike.

Six pack ring around an animals neck . I have seen pictures and posters and videos but today I witnessed it first hand. I know it's just one of those stinking cormorants but that is a gruesome and slow way to die. I would have no problem shooting these things or even knocking them on the head with a stick but this is something different. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.

There two other large filter feeding fish that have access to the great lakes. Paddle fish and big mouth buffalo fish . Both are native. They don't seem to do that well in the great lakes. So maybe the bigheads and silvers won't either.

That hounds run a good track. He is just very very slow.

Greater Toronto Area Salmon Migration Enforcement Blitz October 21, 2013 The Ministry of Natural Resources laid 90 charges totaling $10,930 in fines during a two weekend enforcement blitz on Lake Ontario tributaries across the Greater Toronto Area. During two weekends in September and October, Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers from Peterborough, Guelph and Aurora districts, Lake Ontario and the canine unit, along with OPP police officers from Toronto, as well as Durham, Halton and Peel regions, checked over 450 anglers on many of the tributaries. Officers conducted uniformed and plainclothes enforcement operations related to the fall salmon migration. The blitz resulted in 90 charges for a total of $10,930 in fines. The most common offences involved snagging and netting fish, fishing in posted sanctuaries and fishing without a licence. Ten individuals were also issued summonses to appear in court. The Ministry of Natural Resources would like to thank members of the public for making over 110 calls to the MNR TIPS line for suspected unlawful harvesting during this year’s salmon migration across the Greater Toronto Area. The Ministry would like to remind anglers that it is illegal to intentionally hook or pierce a fish other than in the mouth, or use tackle such as large treble hooks weighted with sinkers for the purpose of foul-hooking fish. For further information on fishing regulations, please consult the 2013 Fishing Regulations Summary at ontario.ca/fishing. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time, or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

If you want to catch perch in the harbour minnors are the way to go. We had a carp fish-in on Sunday at LaSalle and there were other guys catching perch on minnows. One guy guy caught a lot and some very big ones. Pier 8 is also good. There is a perch derby there on Sunday Oct. 27 at 8am-3pm. Bring small minnows.

I don't know if this has been posted before but have a look if you like.http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/carpe-diem-a-fishy-story .
