spent the day at jackfish with my bro and a few buddies.
fair to ok day. between the 4 of us we hit 15 pikes with 5 being keepers, best was 69cm.
lost just as many. no perch or 'eyes. strange...
most entertaining part was when the fish cops totally threw the BOOK at the guys beside us. they were close so we overheard everything.
they got stung for possession of undersize pike, which were confiscated, open beers, their FLAT was confiscated, and not having their fishing licenses on them.
nothing like going home with no fish, no beer, and a grand in the hole after a day of fishing!!!!!!!
it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
these pros were killing small pike and throwing empties everywhere!!!!
we were going to report their plates but didn't have to!!!
gotta love when a-holes get what they deserve!!!!!!
all in all, a fair day with spurts of good bites...
good to get out.
cheers, gw

LOL , great news:) ... I hope the punks draw out a lesson...,
Fishing and being an ignorant dumb ass just don't go in pairs,
did the WL officers seized their fishing equipment too ???

Once again great news !
and congratulations on your great day of fishing.

Cheers.:wave:

hey thanks guys,
this was the jackfish lake west of edmonton.
i don't think the fish-cop seized any equipment...i do think they handed out over $1000 in fines tho...shoulda been 5 times that imo!!!!

Hey wild-man...did the guys being busted happen to have a big eskimo quickflip? Saw that tent out a while ago and they had 6 undersize pike....i would have called but my phone was dead and snow all over their license plate. Where were you fishing on there?

hey octo-dude!!!!
was wondering if you were still alive!!!
these were not the same guys. expensive suv and no tent...
we were in about 10ft deep off the islands.
cheers, gw
