Guest chilli Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I can't believe we even have to consider this. It's an embarrasment. That's why I'll never fish there. Good story about the newbee Rob. Hope to hear more of the same soon. Sounds like maby some of the guys are getting the message. Hopefully it's all been the bad stuff getting reported and these guys are better than that. It's a great fishing hole and a sign like that doesn't say "welcome". It says "there is a problem with commen sense here". I wish there was more shoreline with the angling opportunity that exists there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I think the signs should say something to this effect: NOTICE TO ANGLERS This property is leased and operated by the St. Catharines Game & Fish Association. It is open to the public for purposes of fishing, with the following conditions: 1. Port Dalhouise is a navigable harbor, and as such boats are protected by Federal law and have right of way. Interfering with a boat is a federal offence. Be courteous! 2. Please do not leave any garbage behind. Fishing on this property is a privilege, and your cooperation will ensure that anglers will continue to have access to this waterfront for generations to come. Thank you for your cooperation. ...something like that. I suppose you could add stuff about fishing etiquette like "don't kick the fish" etc., but that would make a pretty big sign. In addition, the boats and the garbage are the two biggest issues...if you took care of those we'd be in much better shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F,O,G Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 well if you are going to post something like that ..i think its good ...you should also post something by the boat launch about the boats being courteous to the shore guys also.... make them aware of such things like not running up the east side cutting guys lines off and sitting in one place while in the drift...and its better to report a trouble maker thats on shore to the launch IE :someone thrown lead specfically at a boat rember accdents do happn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bradley_p Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 lol nice one cliff but when i get the boat it will be shore fisherman yeild to boaters lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest salmon Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I fish from both shore and my boat. casting to the middle does not always hold the best fish. Try along the edges. While on shore I yeild to the boats..its always been that way. When in the boat I try to avoid shore anglers lines..but some can be hard to see..There is room for both there ..the sign mentioned would be a good reminder.

Guest bigfish1965 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Perhaps a reminder that if releasing fish to do so in a swift and respectful manner (ie no drop kicking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Perhaps a reminder that if releasing fish to do so in a swift and respectful manner (ie no drop kicking). 3402[/snapback] Okay, you could add point #3: 3. St. Catharines Game & Fish stocks this water for your benefit. Please utilize proper catch & release techniques and treat fish with due care and respect. So the whole thing might look like this (with a few other adjustments): NOTICE TO ANGLERS This property is leased and operated by the St. Catharines Game & Fish Association. It is open to the public for purposes of fishing, with the following conditions: 1. Port Dalhouise is a navigable harbor, and as such boats are protected by Federal law and have right of way. Interfering with a boat is a federal offence. Be courteous! 2. St. Catharines Game & Fish stocks this water for your benefit. Please utilize proper catch & release techniques and treat fish with due care and respect. 3. Please do not leave any garbage behind. Scraps of fishing line in particular are a hazard to both people and wildlife. Take it with you! Fishing on this property is a privilege, and your cooperation will ensure that anglers will continue to enjoy access to this waterfront for generations to come. Thank you for your cooperation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Red on white or black on yellow are a bit abrasive. Yellow on brown or black would be fine, or perhaps a charming taupe on forest green. Maybe we should call Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and get them to do a show. Good PR, plus free signs. Seriously, neutral colors would be best. Reds and yellows are "shouting" colors, and I don't think we're trying to shout at anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steelheader Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 True enough, but red shows as a warning....a warning that this type of behavior is not going to be tolerated. Plus it needs to be visible too.I'm leaning on "red on white". 3448[/snapback] Yeah, I hear you. It's really up to Game & Fish what kind of tone they want. I figured a firm but reasonable tone was suitable and doesn't come across like we're in a police state. That's why I suggested more netural colors, like what you see in a provincial park. I think it would help to see some examples first. I don't have photoshop either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigfish1965 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I have photoshop and can do a mock up for you guys in a few different colours. Check back at about 11 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigfishbass Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 sign looks great... how about adding "Thank You" at the bottom.....just a thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB MCINTOSH Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Bigfish: Don't worry about getting it on plywood leave that to me, when it is ready get it to me and I will take it from there , plexi glass on the face is the way to go and we will do that, size wise maybe 2'x3' will be big enough what do you think . A thankyou on the bottom would be a good touch . thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
