Lake Ranger Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 That is outrageous...I'm so glad to hear she's ok but how horrific it must have been for everyone. These 'accidents' must happen more than I even imagined...it's like a 'hit and run' and the only thing you can do is make sure the victim of such a 'crime' is looked after first and foremost. I'm pissed..really pissed now. Again, sorry to hear that this happened, but thank you for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Ranger Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Well, I called the OPP and they told me they would not be able to deal with the situation, and that the Sturgeon Falls Police Department handles situations on small lakes in West Nipissing. So I called the Police and they said the OPP normally handle situations on lakes in West Nipissing. So, I'm confused as to what authorities are really in charge in handling a case like this. However, the Police Department said they would have an officer call me to discuss my complaint once one was assigned to the report. Guess I'm going to start building signs, rafts and potato guns.

Sinker Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I had a feeling that was the response you would get. You almost need someone to get hurt or killed before any authorities are willing to do anything about it. Brutal. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Next time they are out there call both police forces and report drunk drivers that actually have beer in hand on the watercraft..anonomously of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Why not talk to the owner of the campground? That would be my first thought. Inform him of your concerns, inform him of the rights of other people enjoyment etc.... Don't expect the coppers to fight this battle for you.... Common courtesy can go a long way. If that doesn't work..... Unleash hell. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Pretty simple fix here as I see it. A piece of high tensile fence wire across the narrows in front of your place @ neck height and 10 gallons of gas and a match for the CG. Problem solved!!!!

Old Ironmaker Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I just had an incidence where 3 police services saying " Nope not us must be Hamilton or Niagara" " Call Hamilton or Haldimand, no my job man". I couldn't believe it. Another cop told me it happens all the time. ou have to call 911 when something is happening and let 911 sort out who's job it is.

adolson Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 That weekend the dipshits were out in full force on the lake I was fishing, too. We were in canoes and instead of staying on one side of the lake, they just HAD to come between us and the shore... The lake barely produced, so I just won't be going back. But if I owned property there, I'd be pissed. Even worse is when I'm fishing a river and they decide to rip right in front of me a bunch of times. I tied on my heaviest Kastmaster and tried hitting the bullseye. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch anything but pike that day. :\ But at least the kid's dad saw what was happening and laid into him when he got back to shore on the far side.

Muskieman Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Do you mind my asking which lake ? As I probably know it well, I may be of some help to you. Feel free to send me a PM . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
