Rod Caster Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 For splake it's because they are a "put and take" species. The bass have the advantage of reproducing in any slurry they put in. They are a "invade and rarlely take" species up here haha.
Snidley Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 I think this is the first time I've heard people complain about there being abundant smallies in their locality. I think we have to remember that New York has an early Bass "Trophy" season with 1 as the limit. It's in the lake and there's lots of fishing beds too. Still, there's lots of big fish out there. Personally I think opening the season is good if someone actually knows it won't decimate the fish. It's probably good some places and damaging in others. Hopefully they open the places where it's all good.
UglyBug Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 It always makes me wonder.... they are an invasive species, but cause they are fun to catch and decent to eat, they get protected... id say open the season year round everywhere..... they effect walleye and trout populations so what makes them better than asian carp.. i love fishing for them but sometimes it seem a bit hypocritical to me. ive seen a lake north of here full of pickerel, one year i caught a bass, had never caught one there before, .. and now theres more bass than you can shake a stick at, and far far less pickerel. Hey make sure everyone knows its you opinion, I am a bass guy and happen to like doing it so if you don't that's cool, but keep, your silly comments to yourself, invasive species my backside

Whitespinnerbait Posted November 2, 2012 Report Posted November 2, 2012 Ten years ago the walleye were booming, I can't say that about them now. Walleye are catch and eat.........Bass are catch and release

MCTFisher9120 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 I think you mean 19 Sinclair. You both mean zone 18 is the best!!
Sinker Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Great idea....lets play with the bass regs. Meanwhile, wild, native fish suffer. MNR= Ministry of NO RESULTS. What a joke. Bass could be open all year no problem. I can't beleive people waste thier time fishing for them anyways......no teeth, no challenge. S.
ch312 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I can't beleive people waste thier time fishing for them anyways......no teeth, no challenge. they reproduce like sunfish, are just as easy to catch, and sometimes taste just as good. who wouldn't? going by this report the native range of smallies reached north to north bay or so. http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume/groups/lr/@mnr/@letsfish/documents/document/stdprod_095205.pdf Edited November 3, 2012 by ch312

I would much rather fish bass then walleye if I am going for catch and release. Walleye are like a wet sock. That being said there is better fish then both of them. Mike the bass fisher. I mean 19 haha.
Rich Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 There is already no season essentially where the bass are considered invasive.. just sayin

UglyBug Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Too funny, some of you guys on this site are just wound way to tight, BASS rules But I won't turn down a trip to troll for Walleye. Oh and I forgot to mention, my boat goes faster than your boat.... Edited November 3, 2012 by UglyBug

John Bacon Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 invasive species my backside Introduced species may be more accurate. They were introduced into many Ontario lakes starting in the 1800's. There were very view lakes in Ontario that had bass populations prior to these stockings. The introductions happened so long ago that many assume that they were always here.
Rich Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 100 mph for 45 minutes to horse 2lb fish in the boat. At least the boat ride is fun.
Terry Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 what many people don't get is panfish eating fry off the beds will stay all day and pick off one fry here and another one there and at the end of the day have their fill or the bass will be pulled of the bed and they will have their fill in a few seconds, but at the end of the day they consume the same amount of bio mass
fishindevil Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) In areas where there is a big goby population it should stay the same. !!!! Gobies can decimate a bass nest in seconds Everyone YouTube the vids and see for yourself ......bass need to be on their nest the entire time think about it...enough people fish for them and pull them off their nest as it is anyway I see the people fishing for them way before the season opener here on the kawarthas as it is .....it's just wrong.....

UglyBug Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Wound to tight for sure since when did This board become one for walleye or musky only geezz, and we all know that something that's wound to tight is going to snap... Edited November 4, 2012 by UglyBug

UglyBug Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 UglyBug, how slow is that Ranger of yours? With a light load of fuel and gear 104.61 kph fast enough to get me there and back
UglyBug Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 Wound TOO tight Thanks for correcting the typos and proving me right , TOO tight indeed
spinnerdoc Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks for correcting the typos and proving me right , TOO tight indeed I didn't know that I did, just trying to lighten things up, as I thought you were pretty wound up. Edited November 4, 2012 by spinnerdoc
