Any interest?

[Christopheraaron]

Was thinking of hosting a pier fishing tournament for salmon in the next couple weeks. It would be small with 10-30 participants, probably about $20 entry fee. I think bronte would be the best location since its close enough to the major cities and its a big pier with lots of fish. Obviously it would be run at night, probably 9 to 1 or 2 am. Would anyone on here be interested?

[Rich]

Will marshmallows be available at the pier?

 

I'd be interested, depending on the work situation at the time.

[e-z-out]

Count me in have always wanted to give it a try

[Christopheraaron]

Lol, we'll I know the ministry discourages the use of bait so I think it would be lures only, but I suppose you could tip a spoon with one!

[Rich]

No bait, k. Earplugs it is.

 

Joking of course. Any salmon discussion has to include the marshmallows. Lol

[Christopheraaron]

lol, what about a weighted treble with 3 marsh mallows

[misfish]

I would be in for a 5am start,end at noon,and wings and beers after.

Clearly you've never fished Bronte before.

Wings and beer 7pm-9pm; walk across the street catch 4 30lbers and have 3 fist fights in 5 hours and your sober enough to drive home at 2am.

I will be there.... I'm to poor to participate but I can serve as the official referee

[Richie Razor]

Lol fist fights over chucking metal or plunking marshmallows for the infamous "boot"

 

Been there done that, not for me anymore. I hope people from here can go and take pics as the action is heating up down there so I hear.... Good luck!!!

[Afraz]

Hmm sounds, good. I Ought to pull out the Jet Boat and troll around just out of everyone's casting distance

[Christopheraaron]

Well I contacted oakville and it would take 4 weeks to get the permit and cost about $200, I'm hoping that was because it's next to the marina, so I emailed mississauga asking about their pier, we'll see what they say. I'm hoping this will happen september 7, it's a little later than I'd like but it's probably the best I can do.

LOL.. we use to leave Consumers Glass at 11pm off the afternoon shift (1984).. take our spots under the bridge, with our mickey, and fish all night. Oh the good old days.

 

Have fun Chris if you can pull it off... a tad too far for me these days. As for a permit.. to fish on public property.. hmmm

Heaviest, longest rod you own, largest capacity reel spooled with 10-20 pound line, and a few little cleo 2/5 or 3/4 oz spoons. the glowing paint ones work the best. You can charge them with your iPhone camera but it's not necessary.

[northernpike56]

I'll also probably be there. Can't wait for our Bruce Peninsula trip in a few days too man.
