Terry Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 Terry although I agree with you it doesn't always work out that way. I remember a couple years back someone harrassing me because I was still fishing off IBP because I already caught 2 whities. I was told I could no longer keep fishing as I already had my limit. Didn't matter I was targeting lakers. Too many think they can police things themselves instead of making a call to the authoritites. true enough but I don't think Brian was misleading, he was repeating what a ill informed CO told him or possibly there could be changes for 2015
Woodsman Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 but I don't think Brian was misleading, he was repeating what a ill informed CO told him or possibly there could be changes for 2015 I don't think his misleading post was intensional but it was misleading. As for changes in 2015 I doubt it due to the fact the ministry actually clearifing recently what defines a spring loaded device.
Fisherman Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) now if only they could tell their COs That one wasn't paying attention, he was goofing off at the store. Edited November 17, 2014 by Fisherman
Christopheraaron Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 NOT Maybe you'd change your mind if I threw in some scuds...
misfish Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Brian this is the second forum (that I know of) you have started this same basic post based on your misinformation. My fear is someone will believe you and harrass someone who is complying with in the law based on your misinformation. May not be a pretty site and could also get them charged for interfering with someone legally fishing. It came from the horses mouth. What can I say. I asked the guy thats suppose to know,YES? So I will say he mislead me,but I will not buy, as I dont need it,nor would use it. A nip rig would work just as well IMO,but from threads pasts,this was a debate. So I asked like I said.

Here,use my cell,make the call.

I believe you could continue targeting and catching whities as well, you just had to release them.
Woodsman Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 I believe you could continue targeting and catching whities as well, you just had to release them. Yes you are correct. Only time you can't target fish is when they are not in an open season.

Fisherman Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Here's the scoop: NO, I came out of a bush early because I had a meeting, still 45 min of daylight, MNR TRUCK PARKED AT MINE,,, then he asks me to do a survey ,,,,,,,,,,,when I'm done it he says sorry to tell you this but I have to fine you its now after shooting light... bow case 30 feet away in my truck..... 25 to life for what almost happened next....lol
SirCranksalot Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Here's the rest: The ticket was a few years ago, and was given to me by OFFICER Beavers,, can't remember his first name but will not forget his last...lolHe's done this type of thing to few locals,, But haven't seen him around for a while, MAYBE SOMEONE BONKED HIM? I just read on another forum that CO Beaver is still with the MNR in the Barrie/Orillia area. So anyone in that area, should be mindful.
ch312 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Good to know!!!,find it hard to believe retail stores would be able to sell a product and not be able to use it?. Especially designed for ice fishing?.I'm sure stranger things have happened.. Convenience stores sell drug paraphernalia that's apparently illegal. How about those washer fluid squirters you see on some car hoods with red or blue lights...illegal to use, my bro received a ticket. Marijuana seeds? They become illegal once germinated meaning legal to buy, illegal to use. E-cigarette juice containing nicotine is an illegal product, yet people sell and buy it. It's illegal to sell ear candles in Canada, yet may health stores continue to sell them. I'm sure there are a ton of illegal products out there being sold daily.
Freshtrax Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 I'm gonna buy one .. Might work good for soft biting whities
John Bacon Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Isn't setting the hook half the fun? ... providing the fish doesn't spit the hook before you can grab the rod.
BillM Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 ... providing the fish doesn't spit the hook before you can grab the rod. So the fish wins that round. That's why it's called 'fishing'
Freshtrax Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 So is eating them..... I usually only fish one rod on simcoe but with this contraption I might bring home dinner more often. Whitefish is one of the few fish I keep.
davey buoy Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Did I miss how much they are?,Would be nice for a extra line outside the hut?. Depending on the amount of guys,we always add tip ups outside,obviously in clear view.Sounds like a good alternative.
