FloatnFly Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Get rid of the use of roe, get rid of the problem. problem is, they aren't using the roe as bait.......they're eating it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 you feel the roe on that fish was used to eat? interesting. I've never heard of folks slitting browns/atlantics/bows, etc to eat the roe.... it has been for their own use, or blackmarket sales to unscrupulous tackle shops.

I've never heard of folks slitting browns/atlantics/bows, etc to eat the roe.... it has been for their own use, or blackmarket sales to unscrupulous tackle shops. The roe is eaten by many. Salmon roe is very good when cured right for consumption. I have tried it done by a fella at work. He eats the whole fish though, not wasting it like that one in your pic. I will not say the roe was taken for consumption, as you and I both know, there are slitters out there for the roe only for bait and the black market. Black market if caught selling as a retailer is a hefty fine from what I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 i'd actually be ok with it, if it was being eaten..... at least it isn't being wasted for illegal sale, or to be used as bait. still should not have discarded the fish on the shore however.

manitoubass2 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Ive never experienced this(way different location) But is there any possibilty some of these banked fish are bear eaten? I see it here with suckers and an odd carp. And it looks similar. They just eat the belly and leave the fish Id doubt it according to the posts on here over the years but...

Big Cliff Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Isn't it against the law to allow any fish or game suitable for human consumption to be wasted? Isn't it also illegal to sell any sport fish or game unless you have a special license? If not, it should be! I have eaten many different kinds of roe and most were excellent if prepaired properly but I would never discard a fish for the sake of keeping the roe for any reason if the fish was suitable to eat.

GBW Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 No chance in "the shawa" it's a bear. It's a goof... I will NOT fish there anymore because that is VERY common. I even sold my float rod and reel because I got so sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 oh and Rick, when was the last time you seen a bear with a knife to cut the belly open? I cant tell from the pic brother. Thats why im asking. The fish ive seen here look like knife work too but its clearly bear food. Im just asking, like I said I dont know the area or the species or the loogans for that matter. Just my own educational purposes? Big time shame that this goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Here is a deal for you: If anyone on here gets any salmon or trout (3-5 lbs or larger is better) that they don't feel will survive if released and you don't want it, give it to me. I will cure and cold smoke it for you and you will be totally amazed at what you get back (no cost to you but I keep half for doing it). I have been doing the cold smoke process for a couple of years now and you'll never buy any more from the store after you have tried mine. (and sorry, no, I don't sell it) I'd be happy to teach anyone that wants to learn how to build the smoke generator and how to do the fish, it is amazingly easy and so good!

GBW Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I cant tell from the pic brother. Thats why im asking. It's all good and I know you were asking an honest Q not knowing the area. The only bear in that area is in the zoo. It's pure goof's in that area. Snagging too most of the time. There are a few I've come across in the past that were really fishing and doing it right but there are more 'problems' than anglers in that area. So happy to have moved away from there as I'd snap one day if I was still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
