SirCranksalot Posted September 17, 2015 Report Posted September 17, 2015 No way should they be able to administer a municipal fishing license, the twp of Essa already does for access pts to the Notty around Angus.
Steve Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 niagara on the lake has something as well... your not allowed to fish from shore on niagara on the lake property, unless you live in the municipality.
ecmilley Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 there also talking about special license fees and extra taxes for living on kawartha lakes waterfront to help reapir the waterway
Sinker Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 This will never stop. People who have never seen fish that big before just cant resist the urge totry and catch one. Its human nature. I was down by the dam today, and the amout of people there that had no idea about the fish was mind blowing. They just dont know any better, and no enforcement doesnt help. The chances of seeing a CO down there is so slim that these guys can get away with anything. Closing the season from sept 1st to Nov 1 st is a great solution, and makes the most sense. Like Steve says, why is it even allowed....it makes no sense. Just imagine the carnage if the walleye season was open during the spawn!! Its rediculous to even have an open season while these fish ate trying to spawn. And the guys who are saying there are no wild fish......right. More ignorance. The ganny is damb close to 100% wild fish. All species. When the fins were clipped, you would be hard pressed to get one out of the ganny. They are wild. Leave them alone!! Dont get me started on atlantics. Ive caught one in ontario, and it came in like a bag of water. S.
hunteronwheels Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 so last week i went out and spent 450 bucks on a float fishing set up then i come here and start reading about the salmon fishery during the spawn and well now i have decided alot of you are right so no more spawn time fishing for me so now i guess i have a really nice set up for browns lol
Freshtrax Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) fish the bows all winter once the Lougan's leave. Way more fun than zombie half dead salmon. Edited September 18, 2015 by Freshtrax
FrankTheRabbit Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 If you put in place a restriction on the town fishing, you might as well include the the rest of the east tribs too. People who are turned away from fishing Ganny will only pressure and leave even more garbage/rotting fish corpses in surrounding tribs. It's really unfortunate that people don't know any better...it's common sense and common decency to not litter or poach. The town spots on Ganny, Willy CNR, and certain spots on Bville are just bad locations for fish to hang out in.
fishindevil Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 They now put up signs saying "no cleaning fish in the toilet" on their fb page as people were cleaning fish and throwing the guts into the outhouses !!!! What a gong show
fishindevil Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 The fb page is ganaraska fishway ya can't make this stuff up !!! Lol ....
Fish Farmer Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 not to derail the purpose of this thread, but using spawn/roe for spawning fish is even more asinine than simply being able to fish for spawning fish. can you imagine dropping muskie roe on a spawning muskie....or even better, kill a muskie to steal its roe to catch another muskie..... blows my mind that it is legal. That's it Steve, give it to him "that Spiel guy " I've said it for over 30 years, get rid of the salmon! And bring back the Atlantic's, and stock more Drum. Now that my buddy has put me on Mod "Q" I think I hear my phone I have a free ticket for Sat. buddy. and an extra Wig.
SirCranksalot Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 I think they need another sign below that 1 that says : "Penalty---swift kick in the nuts"!!
AKRISONER Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 lol there is no detering someone who thinks that cleaning a fish in a friggin portopotty is a good idea, even if you are only stealing the roe... a special kind of person thinks spending any time in a porto potty is a good idea lol.
jimmer Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 they have to do something, and thats just one of the things being tossed around, the other include making that section a sanctuary, and posting no trespassing signs I agree, but adding fees or giving certain people preference doesn't agree with me. I gave up on that place many years ago. Lots of good ideas on this thread that could be used to solve the problem. However, restricting fishing to only those that live on the lake I reside on sounds good to me. Just kidding, of course.
Moosebunk Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 This thread bothers me for numerous reasons Haha!! Southern issues eh!!. However, it's still totally disgusting "angler" (should I say, people) behavior. My vote, shut it down a couple years while coming up with a serious plan to police any trash littering the shores, but don't shut it down for good. There's anglers not fortunate enough to fish the lake, who still pay into fishing, who should have a share in enjoying salmon their way.
chessy Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 Thank you for your thoughts on the ganny. I am a long time volunteer who has done there time at the fishway in port hope and i am the one who has the ganaraska fishway facebook page . I will be copy and pasting your thoughts to give to the mayor and council they are at wits end and do not know where to go next they like the idea of people coming to port hope and breaking even or even costing a little but what has been happening the last few years is costing the town lots . ( two pick up trucks full of carcass from the FREE fish cleaning station in one day ) The enforcement that we had appeared to be a gimmick from talking to people he picked the ones he wanted to check .. he checked 2 people then walked by 4 people of certain decent then chose a white person with a pin reel with a 14 rod for his licence then walked by 7 other people of a certain decent then asked another white guy for his licence then called the town thursday morning and said he was down at the river early evening and seen no violations and every one checked had a fishing license . I know the two guys personaly that watched this and they have no reason to lie .
ecmilley Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 us white guys are always racial profiled on the rivers and its wrong
Twocoda Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Sorry to hear of the disregard for the Ganny...I have said it before and I'll say it again...if the water is less than two or three feet deep....declare it a sanctuary...that will largely eliminate the rippers and I'm sure it will reduce the garbage left on the banks....heavy fines if caught ...Introducing a municipal license will do nothing but generate a few dollars for the town....it won't solve the issues at all...the chinnys are comming in to spawn and die now...when they die of natural causes after the spawn...where do you think they end up? Yep....on the banks...but they continue to serve a purpose of feeding the wildlife along the banks and fertilize the vegetation...the circle of life ....get the weekend warriors and bo Bo's under control and enjoy the Chinooks for what they are ...a put and take industry generating money for those fortunate enough to have a stream or River readily available....my 02 Edited September 23, 2015 by Twocoda
esoxansteel Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 I take it the Chinooks are in LOL
misfish Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Ive just moved into the area , 10 min NE of Port Hope (Hamilton township) , for 20 plus years I was spoiled with easy and fast access to the Nottawasaga , rarely seeing anyone at the runs and pools I frequented I never realized how good I had it . I,ll be waiting for a good day of fishing with ya bud. All safe here. And thanks again for the tours. , I dont miss the tribs of lake O. I made a trip down to the credit last spring and realized the same. I said to myself, I dont miss this crap. Edited September 23, 2015 by Brian B
