Oh wow! I didn't see them there when I was there.
it should be in the paper soon i'm surprized if someone speared 40 walleyes in front of a hatchery they were not in handcuffs
Trap,The way the state law is written, yes….but the Federal Law seems to supersede anything the states say…so the state can enforce their laws, but the feds will just throw out the tickets/fines. So there isn’t much of a deterrence to make them stop. I didn’t see with my own eyes, but heard they were taking pickup trucks full of eyes from up at the dam.
At least it was only pickup truck loads. Around The Bay of Quinte it is tractor trailer loads. They spear them when they are spawning and put out large gill nets all winter long.
Nice!Looks like he may be missing part of his tail!
