Like eyes, trout and pike around here, I think it fair enough to protect bass in the spawn. But open 'em up to an ice fishing season like everything else.

ShawnD - no offense taken and never will be in a good debate. Having grown up on the west coast - where nobody in there right mind ever fished for Bass (20 years ago).
I was under the assumption that while bass can survive and thrive in our waters they did better in warmer waters down south.
Live and learn, thanks!

Now I am totally for anyone keeping the fish they catch but for me I am 99% C&R. Anyway I would be curious to see the replies.
People eat bass from the ottawa river?

Actualcityfishing, I will if it is a cool start to the summer without many storms. Come second week in July, I don't do it any more. Water temps are a great incubator for parasites after the city dumps excess sewage in after a storm.
But that's just me.
