The last couple of trips out has been with my boys.  Always fun watching them get excited hooking into a fish and the smiles and laughs they have when they land one.  I was even outfished this day. lol 

 

The best was hearing my boy say "Dad, I caught two fish, I can't believe it!"  Too funny.  They definately want to go again with me.  Start them off young.

That's awesome AK...you're a very rich man 

Or the fact that its just a really good fishery? That might have something to do with it...

Im sure that 9 out of 10 anglers on said waterway don't have the slightest idea what OFF is... not to mention 1/2dozen other online forums, some specifically based on float/steelhead/salmon fishing.

 

And if somebody does suddenly become interested in fishing for migratory species, it wont take them long to figure out what a "GB" or "Huron" or "WEST" trib is.

 

I Should also note that every time i am on this forum there are new members i have never seen, asking good questions to learn the sport.

How is this any different from somebody that does not register a username and simply reads through all of this excellent banter?

Does a username suddenly change somebody's status to "newb" rather than "loog".

 

While i'm in this deep already...

Tackle shops; anyone else taken notice over the last decade of whats becoming more profitable for retailers?

Walk into any southwestern/central ontario tackle shop and you cant hide from steelhead gear! Most bait shops willingly give out trib names and general access points, conditions etc...

Some shops even have conditions posted on updated chalk boards!!

 

I am still 100% in favor of not posting tribs or spots and keeping photos free of landmarks, but to assume that this humble little website is somewhat responsible for overcrowding on major waterways at peak times of migration is ridiculous.

.

I agree with what you are saying; naming the tribs puts pressure on them.

However, because the "geen" was mentioned here, that meant you had to mention "B'te" too??? Or in the rules for the site there was a mention of "W'ot"...

Stop using examples of rivers that actually exist down here in southern ont....you may think its ok because it already an over pressured system, but you still make it worse by doing that...when these systems are "dead", these hundreds or thousands of people that fish them are going to come to your trib next...

.

 I hate crowds so much I will more than likely not fish a river mouth till it starts to snow.

How long should your leader line be from the swivel to your hook?

What are you pointing out here remy?

I wanted to stay out of any of this cause its kinda sad to see...

 

I've been fishing with Citybass a few times, first off he's a kid so to jump down his throat of call him a liar is a sign of maturity or lack there of, specially the comment about lying about size of "other" stuff...the guys like 13 (explains the reactionary posts) and this is a family oriented forum last I checked.

 

Secondly, he's got a portable live well that stays in the water with the fish he occasionally collects, whether I agree or disagree with the practise doesn't matter, my point is that the fish are always alive and in good condition. I've never seen him take anything home they're always released when I'm with him at least. He has a fish scale so it's not like he's just making up the weights here for who's approval ??

 

oh btw bud, video is slightly dramatic and you don't need to respond and feed the trolls.

.

Great idea...... now what if all the OFF members who get these Mystery boxes give all their unwanted and items to the club also.

 

Just think how happy the little ones be!

 

 

Again great idea buck.

I apologize for getting a bit too ahead of myself. Just wasn't completely for, what he was saying.
