mikeymikey Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Dont' know anyone who goes for a walk with a pitch pork. How does driving a specific car matters here ? Charge the rich? Let the poor go? Please keep us updated with the result.
chickenhawk Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 yeah if you look close on one of the other pics there is some blood on the garbage bag so yes i do think there is enough evidence there to have a case on these 2. bout time these ppl get caught.
Photoz Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 After I read your post I decided to go for a drive and try out my new(est) camera at the Old Mill dam. There was about a half dozen fishing the sanctuary, casting right to the base of the dam, but after spending an hour or more from a good vantage point, I never saw ONE fish caught, or even missed. Nice to have a 36mm - 432mm lense . . . . ya can count nose hairs from a good safe distance! Although I got good clear looks through my lens at about 5 of 'em (all young & W.A.S.P.y looking), I didn't get any opportunity for a good action shot. Woulda been REAL nice to get more of what you witnessed, some clown actually spearing the fish . . . . date & time stamped on the shots to boot!! The bonus here . . . . IF a charge is laid (the Crown has last say on whether to proceed) all I need is a subpoena in hand, I get full pay, for however long the case might take. This is the way to go though if you're serious . . . a good long lens, very recognizable photo of the offense taking place & your camera card . . . . so there can be no claim of 'Photoshopping' the pic. Good hunting bro . . . keep us informed on what happens!
Fisherman Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Here's part of the issue, what were they doing with something that can be construed as a spear... • Possess a spear for the purpose of fishing on or within 30 m (98.2 ft.) of the edge of any waters except when fishing in accordance with the regulations (refer to Non-angling Methods, page 7)
danc Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Nice work ranger520vx. Don't let the naysayers discourage you. We need it to be known that we are watching at all times. And we have cameras and a huge support group. Let's nail these guys.
Moosebunk Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 So many would have just watched it go down then ranted about it later. Good to see you tried and hope it does put the numbnut terds in some trouble.
DMASSE Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Good Work, but with no pictures of them actually fishing in the water, I would have to say that it would be hard to prove anything.. I would think all he would have to say is that he was gathering dead fish for his garden, But no to discourege you, keep it up. I know I have taken live videos and sent them to the MNR with no results... I think its better to let them know that we are watching Dave
Joey Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 I'd certainly like to see the outcome of this. Keep us informed please!! And good job, I think if they even get a warning, it might stop them from doing it again, maybe...... Joey
wolfville Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 It takes me and others next to no effort to reply and express whatever view point one may have, but it takes a real hero to actually do things like what you have done. I thank you for doing the right thing.
redfin Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Holy crap...how desperate do you have to be??? I read about this on two different Chinese fishing sites and most of the members are furious regarding these poachers :angry: . A picture is worth a thousand words, I hope these guys get what they deserve.
solopaddler Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 thanks for taking the timehope they burn in hell That was funny Terry thanks for the laugh . Well done ranger, regardless of the outcome at least you tried, something most people wouldn't do.
Zamboni Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Great work with the pics, mnr can certainly make a case against these characters. When first confronted/contacted they will probably further implicate themselves-especially if shown the pictures.
Muskieman Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) I can't beleive he's actually smiling in that picture !! And if his wife were to have fallen forward she'd a speared herself in tha face... Good For You !!! PARTICIPACTION!!! If we all do our little part , something might actually be done by the MNR..

Clampet Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 ...they might just be hungry. Go to the freeking store and buy a box of .99 Kraft Dinner, sheesh!
ehg Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Wonder how this turned out? Eating that skanky nearly dead salmon is probably enough punishment.
007 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Good job Ranger. It's about time more people did more than look the other way when it comes to illegal fishing. You did the right thing in my book. I hope its enough to get a prosecution. I don't understand why the MNR are not down at these very obvious places checking licences and infringements in restricted areas. We all know its happening, so where is the CO to show people that they can't do it???? Nowhere to be seen and therefore they do it and will continue to do it - rape the fisheries of whatever species is easy pickings at that time of year! It's a disgrace.
wuchikubo Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Good job Ranger, I commend your efforts as a law abiding angler. It is truly revolting to see that there are people doing this and having a smile on their face as they leave. I hope the get the heavy handed reward from the MNR. I hope this makes the newspapers (especially the Chinese ones). Truly sad and disgraceful.
misfish Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 well , they were driving a ford..so I guess they could be down on their luck What ever, chut up u. Well the way it was done is not right and do they have lic,(fishing) Although I havent aggreed with alot of the PF comments latley,if they were hungry well,I say ok,but make sure they DO get fined and then edumacated. Buddy sure does have a big smile on his face. I applaude your effort Mark. BTW, what color stage are the browns at ? I like it when the males get that big kyp on them.
Terry Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 took long enough it was a joke.....LOL if they were driving a dodge I would have said dodge instead
misfish Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Come on a dodge,they wouldnt even make it out of the drive way. HAHAHAHAHAA
pigeonfisher Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 What ever, chut up u. Well the way it was done is not right and do they have lic,(fishing) Although I havent aggreed with alot of the PF comments latley,if they were hungry well,I say ok,but make sure they DO get fined and then edumacated. Buddy sure does have a big smile on his face. I applaude your effort Mark. BTW, what color stage are the browns at ? I like it when the males get that big kyp on them. Just playing devils advocate, Brian. For fear that everyone would judge me for seeing me in a photo without knowing the circumstances behind them. I do not agree with what those folks are doing, at all... Also my F150 is just fine, Terry.
Parisite Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 I hope this doesn't become the white bucket thing because its not my intent. Hahahaha! The Whitebucket Scandal!
Terry Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 without knowing all the facts it could be a problem but he saw what he saw and he reported what he saw with photos , but who knows it may turn out that these people are Inuit and have their band number and was harvesting fish according to their treaty with the Canadian peoples... it is up to the police and courts to decide what is lawful or not but one thing we know for sure ....they were driving a ford....enough said....LOL
