fisherman in ontario... you know the O in OFC cannot do this... perhaps in ny state where you live but we arent allowed

in fairness... earlier in the thread i was incorrect... however the advice i was giving was at least legal and a bit on the safe side... corvette said he limits in usa and then limits in ontario on lake erie on the same day... and the COs say thats ok... but its not ok anymore... this rule has changed... so at least a couple people including myself should lean from this thread

they can bite threw most materials... the heavier the material... the better your chances... ive had musky chew threw wire...braid...mono...ans florocarbon... but in all cases the materials were not heavy enough for what i was asking of them

muliple questions have come up in ther thread as well as false information... what i put in my post after talking to a mnr rep is from what i understand to be true... if you dont understand what i posted feel free to call the mnr and tell me how is was wrong... after i talked to the mnr of course... i will admit some of the previous posts were wrong but on the safe and legal side...

i did not say anythin about keeping limits from more than one province or country when its not from bordering waters...

Yes... You can c&r fish and even cull fish... Just read this on the Mnr site

i just got off the phone with the ontario mnr enforcment division border water... example lake erie... you cannot catch a ny state limit and a ontario limit... this is a fairly new rule... aparently you could do this before but not anymore camping trip to quebec... you can bring back you possession limit according to quebec rules and regs but a bit of proof would be a wise decision... have your quebec licence on you and a receipt from a gas station or something to back up your story of where you caught the fish... zone to zone in ontario... traveling from a zone where you caught the fish to a zone where you live... you get benifit of the doubt that they were caught where you say... so in other words... the example of lake O limit of 5 and when you get back to port with 5 and the limit where you dock is 2... your ok and last but not least... you cannot keep a limit from several different zones unless the total amount is under the largest ontario limit... i am paraphrasing ... exampl... lake erie you can keep 6 walleye so if you get caught with 6 walleye in your freezer anywhere in ontrio... and you say they are from lake erie... they arent gunna prove otherwise keep in mind this is my interpretation of a 15 minute conversatoin with the guy whos job it is to clear up these questions. there is a bit of grey area in the rules but from what i understand... this is the way it is... so hopefully this ends this he said she said nonsense...

Limits in Boundary Waters Anglers who fish in waters that lie both in Ontario and another province or state must include the total number of fish caught anywhere in those waters as part of the number caught and kept or possessed under the Ontario recreational fishing regulations when bringing those fish into Ontario. this is from the ontario mnr regs

Last night got 2 perch trolling 30 foot model taildancers... Lol

In most cases I don't even keep my limit of 4 in zone 20... Not cause I can't catch it... Cause I respect the river that supplies me with fish for the hobby/obsession of fishing... I would never keep 15 walleye for myself... Cause I can catch enough walleye year round exept spawn times

not so in my case i can fish 3 zones... quebec... ny state... and ontario... all on the st.lawrence river... so i can keep 15 walleye a day... according to some on this thread... and they cant prove what zones they came from... genetic sampling would not prove a thing they would have to witness every single fish i put in my live well all day...

It's a teez when you've been casting 8oz baits all day and when you finally get a hit... Bucket mouth...

did you by any chance ask him about zone to zone in ontario?

keep in mind that COs will let some situations slide for travel and tousism reasons... im not gunna pay a great lakes guide hundreds of bucks if i can only keep 2.. 5 is a nicer number for the cash...

i got a 24 inch 7.5lb smallie on a 8 inch minnow while fishing for musky... and i get big largmouth a couple times a year... like 5 lbers

so were i am i can fish ontario usa and quebec within a 10 minute boat ride of each other... so if i buy all three licences i can keep all three limits...... weather or not its legal...you guys dont see anything wrong with doing this... its not exactly helping fisheries if people are allowed to do this... cause this means i can harvest ontario 4 ny state 5 quebec 6 so you guys think its ok for me to harvest 15 walleye (per person) out of the st.lawrence river cause we buy three licences each so if there is myself and two friends we can harvest 45 walley!!!!!!! and thats ok with you????

this bad boy is a prime example of why i use steel wire or heavy florocarbon to make my walleye spinners... happens all the time... and i even got my pb 53.5 incher on a small walleye spinner with #4 blade... these big animals will pick up a small bait so im glad i was prepared for it... p.s.we also boated 8 walleye

Walleye spinner... Seriously... My biggest musky ever was on a walleye spinner made of 100lb floro... And I boater a fat 43 incher tonight on a spinner made with coated wire...

That's very interesting... Kinda makes possession limits look obsolete tho

I noticed a pattern in your color choices... BLACK PERCH!!! I have a handful of baits this color and never hit a hit on them... Is there a situation you fish that color specifically that produces... Or do you pretty much trust that color no matter what?

Massage therapy... My wife is a therapist and she has saved my back several times after injuries...

Top 5 baits Jakes Super stalkers Red October tubes Hellhound Any double 10 in line You Cary these baits you'll catch musky in any waters

Your catch limit yes... Possession limit no

If your possession limit were you live is 2 and you have 4... You are 100% over you limit!!!!! Plain and simple!!! Otherwise they might as well make the possession limits province wide cause all you have to do is say they were caught in a zone with a higher limit...

If the possession limit is 2 where you live and you get your freezer checked by a CO and you have more than 2... Your getting a fine... I'd bet my paycheck on that one Otherwise I could say the 30 walleye in my freezer are from every zone in Ontario... That's not gunna fly with the CO
