Governator Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 So I was fishing off Barrie's shoreline on Sunday for perch, I caught 11 gobies, 2 perch. I ended up fishing the marina side to get some rock bass so I could at least get a lunch out of my time spent. I had more dead gobies in a pile next to my bucket than what was in my bucket. Is there anything MNR can do about this? I know the Smallies eat them up and must be getting fat but don't they do more damage than good like eating up eggs?

BillM Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Everything eats the gobies, whities, lakers, bass. Nothing we can do about them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Gobies have been on the st Lawrence a while now and from what I can tell it's healthy as ever If eggs survive they now have an unlimited slow moving food supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Let me guess, off the spit at heritage park? Yup, they are all around. Use a slip float. Better luck then for perch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yup, our local tackle bye has them. Have yet to try them. As I recall Brian, they used to make a 6 inch version, I had high hopes for a big smallie! LOL The 3-4 inch worked well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
