CLofchik Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Nice fish and well deserved with the time you put in over the years. BTW -- To be a proper Tyee it has to come from an unpowered boat. Anytime you want to hit Bronte out of a canoe give me a buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziki Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) ps: any idea when the bronte cleanup is this year? Due to the town of Oakville banning public fishing in some areas Tony has decided not to continue his rehabilitation work in Oakville. PS great fish Tony!! Which boat are you going to keep?

tonyb Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Due to the town of Oakville banning public fishing in some areas Tony has decided not to continue his rehabilitation work in Oakville. PS great fish Tony!! Which boat are you going to keep? Wow good memory Ziki! I'll be keeping my 1900 ProV over the 18 foot Rebel, so I am hoping to find a buyer..interested? As for the cleanup...I took the 'No Trespassing' (Anglers Only Edition) to heart at the park so now those buggers can clean their own park for all I am concerned. Maybe one day the city of oakville will turn 'angler friendly' and they will gain the support from anglers in regards to park cleanups, tree planting, etc... But luckily, there is someone else who is still not jaded, and is carrying the torch forward...Send a pm to 'Burtess' on the board, as I believe he organized it last year. ask him to show you his secret steelhead haunts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-o- Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hey Tony, Tell us all how you actually caught the fish. What Lure? How deep? How far back off the rig? I'd LOVE to hear your story and I bet a lot of others would too, especially the Derby Committee. I heard you launched out of Bronte at 7 pm hooked and landed the fish by 7:30 and got up to Franks by 8 to weight in, HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I have a picture to post soon.
