chuckymcd Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Hey everyone i was out with a couple of buddies on the weekend checking out georgian bay we were just about to change spots when we say a boat comming straight at us, then the cherries came one. They were checking for fishing linsences and safty equipment on the boat. This was my first time being stopped on the water. They were really nice guys but they would not tell us where the fish were at Everyone had their fishing lisences and all the proper safty equipment Just a reminder to everyone to boat safe and carry all the needed safety equipment Oh yeah we did not catch any fish any body know what to through in the georgian bay area we were not to far from midland Edited August 25, 2009 by Fins and Skins

TC1OZ Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Good thing the fuzz didn't ruin your good time
chuckymcd Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Posted August 25, 2009 Good thing the fuzz didn't ruin your good time naw they were pretty good about everything, they have a great job tho hanging out on the boat all day
TC1OZ Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 naw they were pretty good about everything, they have a great job tho hanging out on the boat all day Tell me about it.. And the last OPP boat I saw when I was in Parry Sound was a SICK boat.. Every citizen of Ontario should be allowed to take a ride on it at full speed...since we are paying for it! hahaha.
Governator Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 We've been stopped a couple of times on simcoe and they've always been super nice. They generally seem to do a great job making sure everyone is safe and up to date with licenses.

Caught 3 or 4 small 1lb or less smallies and missed a pike...aside from that nothing, was not impressed.
goteeboy Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 We got checked yesterday on Rice. They were very nice. Well the lady was nice, the dude didn't talk much. Had my safety equip scattered all over the boat . need to organize, haha. got a little nervous when my flashlight didn't work, but finally got it working. i had forgotten that it's a button, not a twist.

glen Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Did they ask if you were fishing muskie on a conservation licence?
kuhaman Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Were the OPP and the CO's in the same boat? Never seen that before, I hardly ever even run into a game warden in the places I fish.
bubbles Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 We get checked constantly on the Detroit River, OK by me, just doing their job. Both in the same boat or each on their own boat, I have seen them both.
irishfield Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Did they ask if you were fishing muskie on a conservation licence? LOL ... good 'ol Bruce Ward. You'll never forget him though will you Glen! Good to see them out! OPP and CO always together on the Bay.
glen Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 I am going to fish out there this year just so i can show him my sport fishing licence. Maybe you can join me in my boat this year Wayne. We can hit some smaller lakes too.
camillj Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 I have a little mini keychain type flash light in every PLano box .. just in case ... there's no laws about how big they have to be ... and one of them is BOUND to work Also carry a couple spare AA's in every plano box ... can always do the switcharoo Always together on gbay in my experience ....on lake Joe normally just OPP ... and often with a camera wanting pics (probably as evidence - but I am glad to oblige
POLLIWOGG Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Actually you have to have one working waterproof flashlight probably visible for one mile or more I'd have to look it up I have a book in the shop that might have it.. But there is no law that says you can't have a boat full of flashlights.
