Big Cliff Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Ok, I have been getting out every chance I get looking for crappie (on a lake I can't mention). Well, it hasn't been very productive but I don't feel too bad, no one else seems to be catching them either but it has been entertaining. Last Saturday a local cottage owner walked down to the shore line and announced that some jerk had parked their van and boat trailer on a private road and blocked his driveway. He then announced that they had 10 minutes to move it or he would have it towed (I'd have just had it towed) but he is Canadian, I'm just old. There wase some grumbling from a boat but I couldn't understand what they were saying, it wasn't in English. Then it turned out that one of them had had a dump right beside his propane tanks, (how nice can you be to a guy who's drive way you have just blocked)? Oh wait, there is more: A boat was observed keeping OOS bass, they were advised and they just laughed, the CO was called who showed up! Unfortunatly they saw him coming and dumped the bass (no law against releasing OOS fish). Why do people have to be this way then complain that we discrimnate?

Ralph Field Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 There is no shortage of jerks in any nationality you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Took a dump by the owners propane tank?? Jeez that's just brutal. They need to be reminded of private property laws and fishing regs and ethical behavior. Theyll get their come-up-ance in the end, at least I hope they do.

tb4me Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Tell me about it..We have unwanted folks fishing at our dock when were not there. Twice I have come down there to find a huge dump complete with toilet paper right beside the dock my kids swim at. Not to mention their garbage and beer bottles..Sooo frustrated. Im gonna catch these jerks one of these times, the question is what am I going to do when I do... The wife already chased them away once, I wont be so nice.

NANUK Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh come on now! The guy was just trying to pay the property owner with some "Bio Fuel" for the parking spot...LOL It's ignorant jerks like that spoil it for every one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofthesteelhead Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 REAL FISHERMEN like most of us on these boards do not do these kind of inconsiderate things. For some reason fish like crappies and opening day steelhead seem to attract a really low class of fisherman,too bad because it eventually spoils it for the rest of us!

tightline Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thats WILD!!! I can't even fathom it, get the wifes rubber gloves and jam that "bio fuel" right up inside there door handles!!!! I'm so tired hearing about losers like this, make the call, OPP, MNR. Being the nice guy and trying to educate straight up isn't working...

NAW Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Brutal.. You almost feel helpless in situations like this. You can't pound their faces in, cuz you'll get charged. If you call the cops, they aren't going to do anything. And obviously calling the MNR didn't materialize in to any charges against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Talk about having to put up with crap from other people....this takes it to a whole new and much more disgusting level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskywizard Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 but it has been entertaining. I should have stuck around on Sunday long enough to hear this story in person. Disappointing, funny and sad all at the same time. For the property-owners, it's time to put up game cameras. Send the video of the guy pinchin' one off to the police, and upload it to Youtube and here. Somebody will recognize him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yep, your doing it all wrong for sure!! I've had no probs catching crappies anywhere I go this year. A lot of guys are saying they aren't getting them, but I just can't see it. Maybe I'm just lucky I'm not the least bit surprised about the idiots doing stupid stuff though. Before ya know it, the kawartha's will be just like simcoe. It will cost you a fortune to launch a boat and go fishing. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 One thing for certain. I would kindly return the the deposit beside his tanks by strategically placing it UNDER the door handles. Yes, some under the door handles.....but the rest in the gas tank as someone already mentioned, bio-fuel.... Another option is to get a car parked VERY close in front of the vehicle and another VERY close behind the trailer....then watch and wait the fun start.... I once had a lawn cutting business block "MY" driveway with their trailer so they could cut several lawns in the neiborhood.....when I approached the owner and kindly asked them to pull forward he asked me if I was leaving right now.....as I was inconviencing him and his workers....go figure.

woodenboater Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Another option is to get a car parked VERY close in front of the vehicle and another VERY close behind the trailer....then watch and wait the fun start.... As much as I would love to do something very juvenile and worthy of their utter foolishness, I like this idea from BB. That or get a trail cam to catch them dumping and post prints everywhere, maybe put one of those non identifying black strips across their eyes Wonder if video of them catching and keeping OOS fish would be good enough for the MNR or CO's ?

bigbuck Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Call the OPP and fling the poo on their door handles and boat winch. Jerks like that need to learn a lesson before they will adjust their behaviour. A ticket for tresspassing and an impound fee on their vehicle will hurt and inconvenience them a fair bit. They'll learn, the hard way which is exactly what they deserve Cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreyhkh Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I agree that this time of year brings the bucket fisherman out in droves. I was almost pushed into the water by one of them not to long ago, I was fishing on a log large enough for one person, I needed to put new bait on and walked 5 feet to my bag when this guy jumps on the log and almost puts me in the lake. I said what the hell but he did not speak English, I dont mind other people fishing but when you clean the lake out by keeping 8" pike and throwing the bass in the forest because they eat your favorite pan-fish and are rude then it pisses me off.

Headhunter Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Cliff, a small pebble, inserted into the valve stem of their vehicle, will slowly drain the tire of it's air... and when they go to refill the tire, the stone will fall out and they will not be any wiser... Some times people suck! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
