Those regs if followed by the majority (and you are breaking the law if you aren't) should do wonders for the walleye fisheries. I've mentioned this before, but, wish they would do the same thing for south-western ontario...up to the grey-bruce area. Some of the walleye lakes that were decent when I was a teenager have been decimated. With some stocking and some decent management they could once again be what they were.

The steel fishery is fine. This is a fishing board. Suck it up buttercup.

Don't know why somebody always has to throw in a negative comment?

Looking for opinions on the park, it's fishing and facilities from anybody that has been.

We are booked for Restoule for our late August trip, but, are looking for another possible camping trip for two or three nights a little closer to home. Taking my 14 ft aluminum Legend if we go.

Thanks!

Yeah, saw it on Lloyd's boat, that is a sweet item to have. Have fun with it Wayne!!!!!!

Way to go Nestor!! I'm definitely going to have to try to get out with Lloyd for some chrome!!!

Great stuff! Lloyd knows his salmon/trout as well as Quinte walleye. Some really nice bows and a "beauty" King!!

Awesome report, great lunch time reading here at work !! I am so pumped for another shot at my first musky this weekend after reading a bunch of musky posts over the last week!! Can't wait for Saturday.

Typically the combos you get a crappy tire and such are just that.. crappy. It's usually better to combine the pieces together yourself. Since you already have a rod from the Rapala combo, my suggestion to you would be to skip the Zebco combo and just buy a quality reel - Shimano and Daiwa both have reels in that price range.

Agreed, except for the Pflueger Arbor combo I picked up earlier this year. Great braid specific combo for walleye for $89.99 on sale.

If you get the chance watch the episode of Aaron and Barry's show on fishing that lake!! Had me pumped for musky opener!

The shows we are watching now were all done, prior to his heart attack. Love him or hate him, he has never been afraid to speak his mind and push some buttons with our ministry.

I will be there in August but I can't help you until then

Yup, me too!!!! There are a couple of people on the forum that have extensive knowledge of the lakes in the park. I'm sure they will chime in and give you some help with a PM.

until this thread I didn't know you needed to renew registration either. As far as proof of ownership does anyone really care unless they think you stole the boat? I think we can all relax though, soon enough we'll get notices in the mail to renew boaters cards, boat registration etc.....of course it will come with instructions on how to pay the new fees as well. I'm sure its just matter of time.

As far as the guy with the suspended license. I don't know. I'm kinda of the opinion that you don't need a drivers license to drive a boat so why should it affect your boat license. But I don't know.

If you were impaired operating your boat I'd bet they would take your drivers license though.

One of the reasons I asked the original question. Why need proof of ownership if your name is on the license form???????

Just to be safe have boating license, fishing license, ownership, insurance, registration, and one piece of photo id.

If that does not satisfy them then there is not much that would.

I was told real recently by Service Canada that proof of registration was not proof of ownership. You need your bill of sale to prove ownership. They advised carrying both. Plus your pleasure craft card. Seems kinda silly to me. Almost need a filing cabinet on board to carry all the documentation.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH Maybe we need to contact the OPP, or Ministry to try and get a straight answer...the pleasure craft license document seems to have all the necessary information. If they are checking to see if a boat is stolen.

In most of our cases.. we are actually licencing out boats, not registering them. Registering is when you register a name for the vessel and generally done on much larger vessels.. like the HMS Tom Coffin etc. The licence 29E23456 etc is not a "title", but is all that is needed to show "ownership" to the OPP when being spot checked.

 

Service Canada website for those that need the declarion under oath to get things legal.

Also note that when trailering, it's a good idea to have a copy of the trailer ownership and pleasure craft licence in the tow vehicle... as the OPP are asking to see both now when you get pulled over. A great effort to try and curb theft! (and it will save you from undoing that trailering cover and trying to find the glove box!)

Thanks, Wayne! Was second guessing myself on this one. Now I've got to dig up my trailer ownership...think it is buried in my glovebox somewhere.

If the boat has more than 10HP on it.. it is a requirement to be carrying a copy of the matching paper vessel registration for the numbers on the boat. $300 fine for failure to show ! Under 10 HP.. no registration.. no need to carry proof of ownership.

In my case my motor is 15 hp...so definitely the pleasure craft license permit, but, I could have swore I read that the ownership was necessary as well. Now I'm looking closely at this document and it does have the hull ID # of the boat, the length and description plus my name on it...however it also states that it is not a title document.

Never used to be but yes you need both now.

That is what I thought as well...is a bill of sale proof enough?

Okay, guys...somebody clear this one up, please. When boating is it necessary to have a proof of ownership, as well as your pleasure craft license and boaters card?

Thanks!

Some very nice browns!!! Lots of effort put into that post, well done!!!

Sorry for your loss, Jamie. Sounds like an inspiring woman, nice gesture with the tatoo.

Always fun with Lloyd!

Nestor, if it wasn't for musky opener and wanting to get out in my own boat (only used it three times this year, so far) I would have gladly joined you guys. Maybe another time. Good luck out there!!

Not what it was twenty years ago for any of those species. Still some decent bass fishing in some of the smaller lakes within an hours drive.

If water levels are high enough, the Maitland can be good for bass as well.

You know, this really is a Community. It never fails to amaze me how people that are virtually strangers help each other out on this site. Yeah there are a few bad apples who stir up trouble but they are flashes in the pan. Kudos to the admins who keep this site up and running. Fishunter graciously offers his boat and services for gas money to OFC'rs this weekend and nobody has really thanked him for that. Well, I thank you even though I can't make it and would love to go.

Wayne, you are another one around here who does a lot for us. If you ever want to fish the Honey Harbour area, let me know, my boat is in the water till Halloween.

Agreed and well said!!!

65!!!!!!!

Another awesome post with some beauty "walters"!!
