John Bacon Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 That's crazy. I'm not shocked someone would stoop to this level, but I'm shocked the MNR is even considering the request. They are probably required by law to gather information to justify their decision. Hopefully it will be considered private information and not released.
chris.brock Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) They are probably required by law to gather information to justify their decision. Hopefully it will be considered private information and not released. Exactly. The FOI Act is a good thing. Newspapers and reporters can uncover lots of hidden snakes and corrupt crap using the FOI. This guy is abusing the system to try and find a few fishing spots, but the gov't employees still have to adhere to the law, like it or not. Edited July 21, 2017 by chris.brock
PUMP KNOWS Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Did he remove the vids and pics of the monster brookies? I wanna see why this individual was so thirsty.

manitoubass2 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Mike, if ya read this, wow! What an amazing trip. And great song choice lol. Actually made me tear up
pics Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Unbelievable.. When I mentioned it to my wife she immediately said that he was with a minor who deserves privacy.. I don't know if it makes much difference in the eye of the government though.. It would be very detrimental to the lakes to release this information and the person who requested the information only seems to care about their own ego.. I'm sure they are reading this thread and the Facebook one as well.. I'd say get a life and find your own spots.. Could even be one of the jealous people who chased him off of here...
PUMP KNOWS Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 its here, drool catcher required Thank you, I finished watching it last night. I like how his son is so relaxed catching all these fish. I would be be the total opposite.
jimmer Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 This can't be why the Freedom of Information Act was put in place. This guy's request is jeopardizing someone's privacy for gods sake. I can't believe the MNR has even gone along with it this far, unless they want to set a precedent like someone else mentioned and nip any future requests in the butt quickly. We're here for you Mike!
SirCranksalot Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 I think MNR is prob obliged to go thru the motions---to follow the process---but I doubt that the request will be granted. It's a bit like a frivolous lawsuit----not much hope of success but a real PITA to defend against. Like this, sometimes dome maliciously to tangle the defendant up in knots and stress them out. Personally, I'd like to see the requester get a good swift kick in the gonads for his effort, but that's no going to happen!
Jds63 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 I started fishing in Algonquin in the summer of 1977 and the last trip I went was with Mike when the Leafs were in the playoffs against the Bruins ... I have caught my fair share of trophy brookies ... and the lake names remain in my memory only ....
Woodsman Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Chances are that the MNR will release their records. But the catch will be anything of value will be blacked out. They are required by law to release the records due to the request. Anything the can justify blacking out will be blacked out & this is the reason they contacted Mike. Personal information will be the reason for blacking out large portions of the record.
HTHM Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 The sad reality is that most of us will be initially shocked and exclaim That is ridiculous!!! and then go about their day.As, lets face it, "After all, it does not affect me".

4x4bassin Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 I don't even know what to say about this other then this individual is a loser looking for a free ride to Mikes fishing spot . I know what it takes to go through all the homework and phone calls and map study to find gems like this and to have some loser go about it in this fashion really pisses me off . I feel for yah Mike !!!!
moxie Posted July 23, 2017 Report Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Edited cause after thinking about it it wasn't worth wasting that much effort ranting about . Doesn't affect me either. Edited July 23, 2017 by moxie
Toronto_Angler Posted July 24, 2017 Report Posted July 24, 2017 This thread reminds me that I miss MIke's posts here!
FloatnFly Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Posted July 24, 2017 hes turned into quite the fb junkie!lol no better way to promote yourself tbh, facebook/instagram and youtube
Rod Caster Posted July 27, 2017 Report Posted July 27, 2017 FOI request for a fishing spot? hahaha what a loser. Where are the talented hackers when we need them, infect buddy's computer please. Sorry Mike has to go through this, I'd be receding into the darkness after crap like this. Best of luck Mike! Hope everything turns out in your favour!
12 Volt Man Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I'm a little confused as to how someone's private travel itinerary is a matter of public record and allowed to fall under the Freedom of Information Act. shouldn't this request be flat out denied immediately?

FloatnFly Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Posted July 28, 2017 I'm a little confused as to how someone's private travel itinerary is a matter of public record and allowed to fall under the Freedom of Information Act. shouldn't this request be flat out denied immediately? if they view it as a personal trip, yes absolutely. how with mike being who he is and what he does for a living, they could very well view it as a professional outting, and say that yes, this information needs to be released its a pretty crappy situation to be in.
Old Ironmaker Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Hopefully our Prov Gov moves as fast on this that they do on other important matters. So in 10 years or so the duffus gets his info with all the pertinent facts redacted. That would be justice, the guy is a 2pile.
FloatnFly Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Posted July 30, 2017 and the results are in....good guys win!https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1590430057655490&set=a.703573149674523.1073741826.100000655336575&type=3&theater
BillM Posted August 1, 2017 Report Posted August 1, 2017 He can still appeal unfortunately. I hope this is the last time we hear of it.
