It’s really to bad. Reports bring me into the posters excitement. Especially when I haven’t been out recently. To many arm chair cynics.I think we eventually all learn this.....
WowI agree completely! The photo EXIF data indicates it was taken at Tilley point on an I phone 7.
I hope you weren't in the non-retention area?17lb at Cole. 70’ Depth on an AP herring spoon. Green&yellow mid column, was fishing bottom, but too much crap in the water. Big fight for the size.
Thanks for the report. Cheers17lb at Cole. 70’ Depth on an AP herring spoon. Green&yellow mid column, was fishing bottom, but too much crap in the water. Big fight for the size.
Let’s just do reports and assume that the fisher folk on this forum know what they’re doing.please..? Unless it’s obviously otherwise, pleaseI hope you weren't in the non-retention area?
You're right, I always try to assume the best in folks - but it's worth noting that the area around Coal is closed for retention until October.Let’s just do reports and assume that the fisher folk on this forum know what they’re doing.please..? Unless it’s obviously otherwise, please
Agree completely. Non of my fish have come from a non retention area.Let’s just do reports and assume that the fisher folk on this forum know what they’re doing.please..? Unless it’s obviously otherwise, please
hahaha. “doing laps in the non-ret zone and dragging their fish to open water“ too funny.I know Carpeweekend personally and hes a stand-up guy. He is a SAA member, he donates his time and possibly his money to SAA causes and events, and he eats his vegetables. He stays up to date on the regs and I dont believe hed intentionally harvest a fish illegally.
For what its worth I do see a lot of people trolling in the non-retention zone at Coal, which is fine if youre not retaining fish. Last time I was out there I saw a guy appear to net a fish in area 18-6, so it does happen. I dont agree with how the Sidney area is regulated in some respects but the rules are the rules. Obviously I dont condone crucifying anyone who posts a report without any evidence of wrongdoing. Tbh one of the reasons I dont post as many reports these days is its the same few people providing info time and time again, while the vast majority have nothing positive to contribute.
While were at it, does anyone know difinitively if a fish thats hooked in the non-retention zone but netted in the open zone is retainable, or would it have to be hooked and netted outside the non-retention zone? If its the former whats stopping anybody from doing laps in the non-ret zone and dragging their fish to open water before netting? I would suspect its the latter but what do I know.
Really??? Two thumbs down.....I hope you weren't in the non-retention area?
