Old Man Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) IMHO and from my experience, taking a 3, 4 , 5 or even 6 year old fishing usually decreases your chance of catching. You spend more time helping and catering to the needs of the child. This results in you (the experienced angler) concentrating considerably less on your own fishing.

Old Man Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) true. But how else are you gonna teach you kids to fish? Small price IMHO Very true. I made this the comment for the ones who think that people that take kids fishing are trying to increase their catch. Those who think that, have never fished with a kid.

I made this the comment for the ones who think that people that take kids fishing are trying to increase their catch. Those who think that, have never fished with a kid. Some obviously do, some don't. There's absolutely no denying that. When I take my nieces and nephew out, I don't even think I wet a line, lol. Cause it's non stop action, questions, what's this, what's that, why are we doing this, let's go fish over there, why are there no fish Uncle Bill, Uncle Bill I don't wanna touch the fish but I'll touch the worms, I'm thirsty, I gotta go pee, am I allowed to pee in the lake?, etc etc :) Edited October 30, 2014 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 My son caught a smallmouth bass the month he turned 2... And at 3 he was able to jig up rock bass in the boathouse by himself... Good for this guy for fighting and winning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outllaw Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 thank god. the judge had common sense or grandkids. mnr states sportsfishing is down on the great lakes. handing out infraction tickets is a poor choice.. those kids are Canada,s future.

Whitespinnerbait Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 If the dude in question was teaching he's kid how to fish, then shame on the CO If the dude was using his kid to increase his quota, then shame on him !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLINKER Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 You can still have regulations without making it illegal, they did before. With all the taxes generated by the sport fishing industry why do they need the money from licences. I wouldn't be suprised if it cost more to administrate and enforce than they take in, and if not it's still a waste of $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb4me Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 You guys crack me up..If my Daughter is with me fishing no matter what the age and we are following the law. If her line catches a slot (keeper) fish its going in the pail..I dont care who reeled it in. I have been fishing with kids 70% of the time I fish I have raised 3 kids now..We keep everything we legally can. Nothing gets them more interested in the sport then eating the catch..Even if they couldn't reel it in alone..Do you know how many time I heard " daddy I need help"? Does that mean the fish has to go back, so the do gooders don't get offended by us filling our slot? lol whatever this place cracks me up sometimes..

If you ask my kids what they want for dinner, they will say fish fry almost every time. Keeping some fish for dinner is a big part of the reason we fish..... S.

Terry Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 but it 's still the law if both people reel it in much like the guy who batted the muskie who cares they eat pickerel so kill them and it's just like smoking pot, everyone does it.... right I guess almost everyone have their own moral center on what laws a to be obeyed and which can be ignored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.mech Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) lol in ontario it's not the rods it's who reels it in if you reel it in for your kid it counts against both daily limits, so you don't get to take the extra fish if it is a handicap person then you can reel or help reel and not have it count against your limit Where in the regs does it say this? I just want to read it myself so I'm clear. Does it count against the guy who nets the fish too? Edited October 31, 2014 by G.mech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 "does it count against the net man"... certainly not or Terry would always be over his limit !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 lol I just checked and can't see anything , but I did have a CO tell me it counted against my limit when I helped reel in a pike for a young kid I had in my boat.. I told him cool. I don't have time to use my own rod today anyways. what rules they put in the summary changes from year to year, doesn't change the law if you don;t see it in the summary and I am ok, you can have help landing the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLINKER Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ok, so if I'm a charter capn. and I take a group out salmon fishing, if I grab the released rod, reel in the slack and hand it to a client the fish goes on bothe our limmits. I can do this till my limmit is filled then I must stop fishing and can no longer drive the boat or assist in the act of fishing in any way. Right . If I throw the front of the fish back in the water while he holds on the tail does that mean I released mine while he kept his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
