JayB Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Salmon fishing can be the best during a rain, I landed 4 one night at Bronte a few yrs ago all on fire tiger colour Rattling Raps. They are supposed to get the scent of the creek from out in the lake (sensitive to smelling parts per trillion) and tells them there is water in the creek to make their run. JayB, if u know a fish will not survive a live release it's actually illegal to throw it back and should be taken whether given to someone or taken home for the garden. im not about to take a 25" pike home with a drive of over an hour in my car, like i said before just cause i never ate it dont mean other animals wont, its all apart of the eco system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Joe Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Jay B I don't think Rockfish was trying to point a finger or anything, but to try and help save you a hard time if this was witnessed by the MNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 You should always be prepared to keep what you catch. As mentioned, if not by yourself, somebody else may appreciate it. Otherwise it is more ammunition for the antis. i was well awar of what i was facing. with me bein the only fisherman from 12am till 4am i couldnt even give it away, little own it was a pike. nothing i could have done, it didnt come come back up (caught it at around 1am and left at 4) from what i seen anyway, but it would have been more of a waste for me to keep it. at least the eco system could have absored it back into its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 There's another reason to swap over to single hooks, I hate dealing with trebles. I agree.. small run this year due to lack of canadian stocking.. the US puts in 85% of the salmon in the lake so thats where they are programmed to spawn.. The stocking quotas have been that pathetic for almost a decade, the funky weather and high water have just made pier casting almost a total washout this season.

Guest canada Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 If anything, pike are the best fish to eat from out these waters because they are the leanest of the freshwater fishes. Try a Perch or Walleye and tell me that............Pike are stinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nittro Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 For those concerned about the fall run, check out Ringwood's site and offer some help. They need some extra hands throughout the process until the fish are stocked. A group of 4 to 6 guys car pooling once a month would negate the distance you have to travel. Even doing it once is a great experience, educational and a welcomed contrbution. Egg harvesting on the Credit River is tentatively (subject to conditions) scheduled for October 4 to October 13. This is only about an hour away and they are in need of help during the week. http://ringwoodfcs.proboards40.com/index.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There almost was going to be NO salmon stocked by Ontario. Thankfully a group of guys from Metro East Anglers with help from OFAH took over the responsibility of running the last hatchery raising chinooks before it's doors were shut permanently. That's right, ALL salmon stocked into Lake Ontario is done by volunteers with the MNR only concerned with trout and the waste that is the Atlantic program. If you want to keep catching chinooks please come out and lend a hand. Oh, and I finally broke my dry spell last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymikey Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Oh man... you were our there last night? Last night was some what warm and nice until that brutal north wind blew like crazy causing some sort of spark?lightning? or something taking out the power at that park by Port Credit and west of the bridge. Yes I just stopped by the enjoy the warmer night weather until it got much cooler with the wind. That wind from north have really cooled down the water on north side. CLofChik, do you still use same glow in dark even in that brown'd water by all that rain and mud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 That wind from north have really cooled down the water on north side. Muh whaaa haaaa haaaaaaaaaa, got down to 56 degrees off the piers last night.......just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fishing is so hit & miss this season if you're not there for the few hours a run is coming in, the fish are few & far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snidley Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 The water around Bronte seemed a lot warmer today than yesterday. Still managed 2 but yesterday was top day so far. Over 11 years doing this Bronte thing off piers and in my kickboat I remember lots of hot summers and warm water BUT the salmon still bit. But not this year, it's very strange.

Stevep Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 i was walking around bronte yesterday, at a very narrow point i noticed something shinning in the bush's. I moved the brush away and found a hockey net and magicly enough the net would perfectly cut of that section of the creek. It would appear someone brought home a few fish he night before Before i left i cut the net away and took it with me. I hate seeing that kind of stuff......

Snidley Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Petro Canada Park is a disgrace this time of year. I've actually witnessed a whole familiy of snagers working together there to break all sorts of laws ie snaging, poaching, keeping more than your limit, vandalism, drinking in public and drinking under age and likely fishing without a licence. That was all one family group (of hillbillies). The result was drunkeness, a garbage pail full of dark salmon, a park bench dragged into the river and of course beer bottles left strewn all over the lawn/playing field there. They were a happy bunch so I guess it's all worth it. This year things are getting bad again at Montsberg. After enforcement on the train tracks had reduced dramatically the number of poacher/trespassers this year there were people on the tracks every time I was there. Even the new fine of $525 per person for trespass (plus no licence fines for the majority of poachers that would be fishing there) has not kept them away (enforcement was spotty). One day I saw a family of new Canadians working the tube area and I pointed out that they were trespassing (they were standing right underneath the no trespassing sign) they pointed out that I was a stupid f%&king white man that should be happy they were in Canada to work period. They claimed they had licences so they were entitled to get something for their money ( ergo poaching/trespassing was ok, for them, because they had licences don't you know). After a few words the dad threatened to swim after me (I was in my kickboat) because they can swim in Ghana. I invited him in but he ultimately declined. The donut squad (Canadian Pacific division) never showed up natually so I'm sure they removed some of their "limit" since they were using worms. All in all the perception of fishing in Canada has reverted to a free grocery store, not in small measure because our legal limits are absurdly generous, our legal fishing methods remain far too traditional (use of minnows, roe, worms leeches etc) and our ministry insists on spending limited money on research for stuff we already know vs enforcement of the rules. It is just another reason why I get just as pissed about anglers "keeping their limit", stripping hens, "sight"fishing shallows, dams and rapids and doing so "because it's legal" as I do when I see outright lawbreakers poaching, trespassing and vandalizing. But . for sure, Bronte is a nightmare that could keep one enforcement officer busy 24/7/365. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
