you are 100% right! its just not worth it to load up the gear and use the gas and energy it takes, just to get one or two lakers. i wasnt too happy when they came out with that reg. as for trails and what not for biking, 4 wheeleing, dirtbiking, what ever you do, its all slowly being taken away and we gotta fight for it! they shoulda never set that reg out for lakers anyway. cause how many people do you really think are gunna follow that? like one guy i know. he went to achigan lake one weekend last month and caught way over their limit in lake trout so they decided to have a shore lunch and take the rest back to the camp which they were still about 3 fish over the limit (talking lake trout of course). i found it EXTREMELY hard to bite my tounge about that one! i just cant stand some peoples attitudes towards the outdoors and mostly regarding the fishing aspect. the opp and mnr should crack down so then not so many people would get away with this. I myself am trying to persue a career with the MNR. if all else fails its heavy diesel mechanic time! hahaha.
anyhow thats my opinion on the situation with a little rant added.
