My step dad went down to Bobcaygeon to fish for trout i believe. when they got their, several boats were on the water, all keeping somewhat of a good distance. As soon as he caught 1 fish, pretty small one to, the boats started swarming him right after to the point where lines would get tangled and they got fished out of the area. Anyone els experience this often?

were they asian?

Last trip for steelies last year, hoping to tie into my first one of 2014 through the ice

After that warm spell we had the fishin got tougher as majority of the fish had already pushed up, instead of sucker fishing in closed trout section we opted to hit the source. I knew that there would still be a couple stragglers to come in.












It has always been a ritual for me and a handful of my friends to target suckers when they came in on our UL setups. Its a lot of fun and is usually good action, we must have at least got into 50 each in an afternoon fish.



It makes me wonder why some people will go and fish for suckers where trout is closed when there is literally thousands of them where its open all year round.

I have no hard feelings towards anyone, was just trying inform others like people would on a forum. Plus what fun are forums if there weren't any debates

Im down for a tourney, I dont think OFF has ever had a get together and it might do the forum some good. Atleast I know the lurkers wont be there haha. Ofcourse it would have to be planned out and timed properly so all can have a good time.

Im off mon - thurs usually since I work at a resto downtown, I understand alot of people work weekdays. Maybe one of the admins or mods could put this together?? maybe we'll even have a good turnout

I cant believe some of you still dont get it... its like talking to a wall in here sometimes. Its just amazing how naive some of you are.

Alfie im not talking about you but you even said it your self... you went out did your homework, risked wasting a day by exploring new water and you were rewarded very well. That's what its all about, not these fake fishermen that have to go check a forum to decide where to head out the next day. I too have my secret honey rivers forget just honey holes, places where me and my friends are alone on stretches of river teeming with fresh run steelies and browns. I just know when I should start checking them out and now is not the time and these like you I also found by putting in work.

I agree that the big rivers are inevitable. That's just it, those are bigger rivers where pools can be shared with alot more people and definitely alot more fish to go around. The larger rivers can support them selves no doubt. But when people post pics of creeks its a different story. Just take the salmon season for example, im only 23 but even in my lifetime ive seen willy where there would be little to no garbage, barely any slit hens and most if any were actually at least disposed of properly not just thrown on shore to rot. Where people actually had decency and had respect not only for the sport but also for others that share it. But look at it now, its a fkin poop show.

The internet was the worst thing that ever happened to fishing. Now people just go online and read a rundown on float fishing for steelies and instantly they know everything. These "fishermen" just care about having a picture to post at the end of the day, ive said it more than once before and ill say it again. Fishing is so much more than just going out and catching a fish.

End thread.

LICENSETOPIN, so if a couple of members from few hundred active members, posted a picture you don't like and don't think is a good idea to post on public forum, you think it's fair to start bashing whole OFF community of wrong doing? Have you even tried to resolve these issues before starting this tread? You never pm'd admin or mods to remove the pictures, i have hard time beleiving you pm'd people that posted pictures and asked them to remove, with explanation why, and sorry if i'm wrong, but i don't remember you posting a short thread about why it is important to keep the reports from little creeks out of public forums because they might get ruined.

btw, if this forum sucks, why do you keep logging in?

First off this isnt the first time or second and will likely wont be the last of these threads on any forum not just this one. Most other forums just do a better job at protecting our natural resources by dealing with posts like that quickly or not letting it get there at all.( yeah i went there...) Ofcourse I never expected anyone on the forum to be offended specially since I never even mentioned any names. I didnt pm anyone about anything because I feel like its the mods or admins jobs to do so, after all you guys run this place, right? You guys know how many lurkers are out there, is that okay with you guys? I mean there are anonymous people out there that have access to our pictures and basic information. Whats the point of joining the forum when you dont even have to? And to all the guys that think im the Centerpin elitist Ussr terrorizer from scaborough, I have one question... what difference does it make to post or take a picture that DOESNT show the background???

Your pic has a pretty clear background... And a bridge... Care to share where it is? You honestly seem like THE cockiest individual on this site, and beyond negative. Relax man, if you're better then everyone else, all the power to you.

Dont try and be a smart ass, pics that are 2-3 years old are way different from posting a report and pictures the day off. I hope I dont have to explain that one... Why do I come as cocky? because I stand up for what I believe is right and is for the better of everyone? Were all in this forum because we all share the same passion after all, I guess some just dont care as much as others do maybe some dont even care at all.

Hey Alfie, I agree that the "good ol days" are long gone, and being younger I didnt even get to experience those years. But this the now and this is all we have so why not try our best to protect it?

For those that asked, I still come on here because im not just gona sit and watch all this bs go down. You guys might not care but your also ruining it for the people that do.



Btw, for the record. I dont think im better than anyone else, ive got NOTHING to prove to any of you.

unfortunately the sad truth is there are lots of people with no brains at all... otherwise we wouldn't have this thread....

haha send me a pm blair, im quite curious as to where you think it is

btw some nice fish there... although i dont see the point of posting 5 pics of the same fish

visibility update? screw that go fishing. sounds like you guys like catching more than fishing it self... we drove to 4 different rivers today walked a bunch and some of the crew came as far as Brampton, doesn't matter if you live farther. everyone still pays for gas, heck it was even almost 10 cents cheaper out there than in the city... point is gotta put your work in to get paid, do your homework to graduate, go fishing to catch fish! catch my drift? well today we smashed fresh run of hungry steelies also cohos, and browns. there's your update.
