Dutch Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I was out fishing on the River below Lock 19 between the lock and Rice with my nieces and nephews on Friday and they caught a goby. Just a little one, about 3 inches, snagged it on the underbelly actually. Only one I have seen first hand so far on the river - maybe they have been there for awhile, but I fish the river weekly and I heard they were in Rice, but just hadn't come across them in the river yet. I crushed it's head with some pliers - hopefully a nice smallmouth had it as a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toca Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Wait till late fall. Catch some monster gobies near shore. Had one yell at me for killing them until i schooled him about terminating an invasive species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue pickeral Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 An education program in the area and more signs posted in the parks/lodges would be a good idea. We were fishing around Bensfort Bridge, first week of July, and kind of coaching some new Canadians. One snagged a goby and had no idea what it was. Luckily we had the fishing regs with us, showed them a picture, and it was returned dead back to nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
