well it's the last weekend on simcoe for trout and whitefish,
so I thought I would start the morning fishing for them
I marked lots of fish, but couldn't buy a bite
I then went to the islands to try some smallmouth fishing...not a bite
then to cooks for bass and pike
lots of pike were biting
first fish on the new reel
the hook set

the first bass
then a couple of guys fishing not too far from me
as I get closer I see they have rods stored in the rod hodders but are doing lots of casting
I keep fishing and we are getting closer.......I say to myself.."self what is that in the water near their boat"
well it looks like floats...can't be....they are casting, I see them
I start up the main motor and run up beside them....while snapping pictures
and say guys you know it's 1 rod per person , right
well they had dropped the rods by that time, I one guy picks up the rod he had been casting and said..hey I'm not using it, see it's not in the water....the second guy, he didn't have time to get his out of the water..he just had his head down , kind of shaking back and forth..
so I snap a couple of more pictures and say..well I have pictures of you casting and with rods with bobbers in the water at the same time, "the guy said something but not sure what
I say....well it's not for me to say, when the MNR gets here I will show the pictures and he will decide who gets charged.....
the guy had had not said anything is really shaking his head back and forth now.......I say I will be in the area waiting for them to show up..and I go back to fishing.....I turn the other way and the guy slowly reels in his second rod
I can see that they are talking, now the other rods come in, I set the hook on a fish and by the time I let it go they were long gone...I wish I really had a cell phone or some way to call the cops...........they had no numbers on the little boat
I think they will not do that again for a few weeks
here they are
oh yeah I used the new reel and love it
