Site back home....Need Help.....This will make you angry...

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I would copy and paste the info found in this link.

http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/Le ... 98678.html

Their's not much you can do but to inform him as best you can.

His brother may be able to prevent him from trying for bass since he's already in Ontario and may know about bass being out of season.

Maybe Mr. Pike will ruin his outing by biting through his line and stealing his lures. :evil:

Give the MNR a heads up:

Protect our natural resources. If you witness a resource crime call the TIPS line at 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667).

I say report him. That's a real dick move to completely ignore your warning. And his whole comment about Canada being 'different'. I don't like this guy, he sounds WAY too ignorant but what really pee pee me off is that he won't accept being anything BUT ignorant, you gave him the info... He chose to pretend he never heard it... He is obviously gunna go for Bass, report it.

Report the guy. The guy wants to flaunt our laws, let him pay the price. Maybe he should stay on his side of the 49th if he can't follow the rules.

Here is a link to the a MNR site:

http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/En ... tml#closed

and a section dealing with OOS fish:

CATCHING FISH DURING THE CLOSED SEASON

Question Re: Catch and Release
I often see bass in the shallow waters early in the summer but before the season opens. Can I practice catch and release fishing during the closed season as long as I immediately return the fish to the water.

Answer:
The question is often asked whether or not a person can catch and release fish during the closed season. The answer is no, it is unlawful to target (fish for) closed season fish. Different fish species occupy different habitats and employ different feeding strategies; this is why fishing for bass requires different tackle and methods than fishing for lake trout. Fishers are expected to alter their fishing methods to suit legally targeted species and avoid out of season fish.

Occasionally non-target species are caught, when this happens anglers are legally required to release the fish immediately back into the waters where it was caught and in a manner that causes the least harm to the fish. When non-target fish are caught the angler should re-assess the location, tackle and fishing methods they are using. It may be advisable to alter one or more of these variables to avoid catching out of season fish.
