Mike01 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 I know everyone likes to hear these kinda things so I thought I'd share the story with you. My buddy was on shift last week and took a ride out on the government dock(King's Landing), being an avid fisherman he was chatting with a few of the guys to see how they were making out. When he approached one of these "gentleman" the guy didn't want to talk or answer any questions. My bud thought this was a little strange and asked to see his fishing license. The man responded with a few F-bombs and other choice words and told him that he wasn't the MNR so he couldn't do anything. BIG mistake, he nailed him for having six walleye and two of them were slot fish! He told me they actually have a guide book they keep in the cruisers that lists all the charges for illegally fishing and hunting. It's good to know that there are more than just CO's protecting our resources cause lord knows there aren't enough of them, especially up in these parts.
Headhunter Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Nice work there Mike... kudo's to your friend for steppin up...the lake can use all the help it can get! HH

Your buddy did an excellent job! I am curious where are these fools from?
NAW Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) These guys should be put into jail. Your buddy did an excellent job! I am curious where are these fools from? Good on him for doing that. I don't know to many cops that would have done that. Around here anyways. Edited June 15, 2011 by aplumma

Mike01 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 The guy was a local. Lol, how did that get through!
manitoubass2 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Good on your buddy for doing his job. For those who don't know, all police officers in Ontario are trained CO's, or at least according to the MNR website. Yes, a police officer can and will enforce fish and game laws, as proven right here!!!
blarg Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Thank goodness, after all, punishing someone who bought a license for keeping fish in the slot will surely protect the fish stocks on lake littered with gill nets.
kennyman Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Glad to hear it. Most cops are good guys. I'm glad this one stepped up and nailed that piece of crap. I wish it would happen more often. Sorry for my "standard office language" LOL. Anyway, MNR on strike!
Mike01 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Posted June 15, 2011 Thank goodness, after all, punishing someone who bought a license for keeping fish in the slot will surely protect the fish stocks on lake littered with gill nets. seriously.....?
Terry Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Thank goodness, after all, punishing someone who bought a license for keeping fish in the slot will surely protect the fish stocks on lake littered with gill nets. Lame we have to start somewhere
fishindevil Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 well good for him !!! thats good news for a change...cheers
Flappn Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 You either have to be very new to the country or just down right ignorant to go fishing with out a Lic and also keeping slot fish. I don't know about you, but I would not be having a good time fishing if I new I was fishing illegally. Do people not worry? right and wrong is one thing...but my conscious would not allow me to fish without a lic.
irishfield Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) He's got better things to do during the day.. like chase 30 kids vs the 2000 here. Guess who has Wi Fi now. Edited June 15, 2011 by aplumma

Hey can your buddy snag one of those guides for me? I've never seen one nor have I been provided one and for me to find out the approproate charge and wording would involve a lengthy call to the mnr! I'd love to tag some of these guys

GBW Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 I can ask him, I'm not sure who has produced them, whether it's his department or a government agency. Is he OPP or local agency?
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) hah... blarg is kind of an and as far as he's concerned everything is the natives fault. i'll say what i always say... those who are first to point the finger are often some of the worst resource abusers and they don't realize that when they point the finger, there's a few more pointing back at themselves. great to hear that your chum is looking out for the resource regardless of what badge he has. cheers!

kickingfrog Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I used language like that once, I didn't have the time to sensor myself and was courious to see what I thought was an automatic program would turn my phrase into. I was a very suprised to see that it went unchanged right to the board. It did serve its purpose by drawing attention to what I thought was an offensive statement. Not one of my finer moments. I did also receive a pm from a mod about my behaviour as well. Edited June 15, 2011 by kickingfrog
Whopper Posted June 15, 2011 Report Posted June 15, 2011 Sorry for my "standard office language" LOL. Anyway, MNR on strike! Maybe YOU ought to edit your own post...just saying
