206 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Thought i'd share this local article....If its been posted already i am sorry. Cobourg resident Ron Reyns got his wish for a second time. A ticket from Commissionaire Dwayne Labrosse while fishing on the east wall in Cobourg Harbour on Tuesday. Previously Reyns was issued a ticket, but it was dismissed from court after it was filled out improperly. Reyns has always maintained it is legal to fish inside Cobourg Harbour contrary to municipal bylaws and looks forward to a court date Edited September 14, 2011 by 206

Ron Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Hey all. Yes it seems like the Town of Cobourg is quite adamant about not fishing in the harbour. The bylaw enforcement officer who gave me the ticket is fully aware of the last sentence in bylaw #064 2010. He was told from "higher up" to issue me the ticket and only print out the abbreviated portion on the ticket. I will give an update when I get a court date.

What a load of crap.What is the peoples problem? I dont think it,s the Town of Cobourg, thats giving you the shaft,it,s those that think they can have what they want. The stuck up snob,big boat,I got money dont bother me,do what we say,fkers. You won the last by a "filled out improperly" I dought it. They know they are wrong. If I were there.I would put a posting/flag,kids fishing day on the pier.BBQ hotdogs.Lets see who haves the heart to say no then. To add to this. Tim Hortons has thier kids fishing day. Here at the marina,there are no fishing signs on the pier and docks,BUT,it,s allowed during this event. What a joke. Good luck. Im sure you will make a difference.

mercman Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Dont let them get away with it Ron.
spincast Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Gotta wonder at what point this becomes harrasment? If this turns out the same as the last one.......? Good on ya Ron - add me to your list of sponsors for the "Right to Fish" defense fund - I'm good for a C note if needed. Edited September 15, 2011 by spincast
TJQ Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Giver Ron.... Ya gotta fight... for the right... to fishhhhhhhh....
bigbuck Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Ron, keep on trucking bud!! This is total utter Bull!!!! You know you are in the right with regards to this and if another bylaw officer busts your chops, just let him know that you will be seeing him too in court and that you will be filing a complaint with the Cobourg Police Department for harassment. This is nonsense and has me PO'd now to no end.
Headhunter Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Thanks for this Ron... I canonly imagine the inconvenience this has added to your already busy life... add me to the list of folks willing to contribute to any kind of defense fund... HH
