Musky in Simcoe?

[Michael_Brown]

Easy boys.

 

Everyone has their own opinions but sometimes it may be better to not post it.

Volunteering to support the numerous fishery projects that are ongoing in the province is a crucial element to the success of the projects. We may not all agree or disagree with the funding or policy but we should always respect the time, effort and intentions of these projects.

 

We all want quality fisheries for all species, we may just disagree how to get there.

 

I personally applaude anyone who gives up their time to help out by volunteering.

Money and resources could be spent more wisely

 

Pretty much how I have felt on the topic since day one as well.

I've done a little research on Simcoe Musky and between 1868 and 1904 they were commercial fished and after 1904 the sale of muskie was prohibited. There was also alot of poaching in the Holland Marsh during the spawn which was difficult to control.. In the 1930's pike became abundant and took over.. In the last 4 years of Pike fishing exclusively in Cook's Bay I have caught a few hundred pike and this July I scored a 7lb walleye but have yet to see a Musky.. The picture shows 3 Musky that had been seized from poachers in the Holland Marsh the musky weighed between 38-42 pounds

Hopefully they start stocking pickerel too(in the holland)! But from what I hear? Pickerel are now being consistently caught all year on Simcoe by a local.
