BIG Musky .. downtown Richmond

Well sad to say that with all the new subdivisions going in along the Jock, it won't be long before all you'll find in it are logs. I've noticed a dramatic decrease in fish populations over last two years, as well as a decline in the water quality along a stretch I like to fish. I don't think it's a coincidence that the declines correspond to development along the river over the same time period.

How about we get back to the basics with this site and help people learn to fish, what to use, where to try ( of course if you want to mention your honey hole that is up to you ) and overall educate and encourage our youth to fish and do it legally. I am getting tired of people jumping in and lambasting ( no fatty luke guy I did not say lamb chops ) others for mentioning locations etc. We all can access google maps, the World wide web and we all I hope can read map books etc that have been published. The info I am afraid is already out there. Did OOD not do a huge article on a lot of these spots in the City area people keep trying to keep a secret. So again, I think part of the problem with this site lately is people do not want to share anything anymore due to the ripping people get for doing so. Get off the site if you do not want to get back to the core of it.

You know what else..people keep saying that when you post something you will notice an increase in traffic on your location...Well I am sure fish-hawk is not so popular that everyone sits waiting for someone to mention thier spot...How about we look at the fact that the over pressure could be from an increase in anglers due to an increase in population..We always hear that it is the talk on here that is causing it and it is not like it was back in the day. 20 other sites I have found about fishing in Ontario....Our population since my dad's days have increased by 4x..so I wonder if this increase in population has any effect on the pressure we see these days??? HHmmmm..something to think about.

Sorry Bobber and mods if I put words in your mouth as this was from my mouth only.

Let the lambasting begin...

Well said Pete!

good one almonte

though I did notice about 5 years ago I posted on using bull dawgs and now everyone has one.

I even saw some guy using the orange and black I mentioned in my post.

and then I posted on the amazing fishing on the reedoo and now all the yankees come up and poach my fish

PS-saw a real nice 36-40 musky on the St. Larry at prescott where i have fished a thousand times and never caught one. if anyone else can get this guy ... yer welcome!

It is nice to see them for sure..I caught my first ever pike and musky in that river when I was a little guy. I remember how excited I was. It is nice to hear they are still around there.
