I had to explain to a family of four ("new Canadians") that what they were doing was wrong. They had four buckets filled with at least 50 LMB, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass and Bluegill. They are not licensed anglers. They were also transporting live fish. They even had the nerve to ask me for my first catch of the day, a 1lb LMB. We need to do something to stop these people from killing off our ponds.

Did they dump the fish back in the water?

What did they do after you talked to them?

They took the full buckets home with them.

Honestly, I don't even know if they understood a single a word I said. They could barely speak English. They just nodded their heads with smiles on their faces. I felt like grabbing their buckets and tossing the fish back in.

It's such a shame. If they keep it up there will be no fish left in the pond. I've been fishing there for 20 years and it's going down hill fast.

Has anyone in the Brampton area tried fishing at Lakelands lately? If so, do you know if there is Bass in there? I took my nephew there yesterday for his first Catfishing experience and it turned out to be one of the craziest fishing experiences of my life. I ended up landing a few 1-2 lb Goldfish. This old gravel pit is filled with Catfish, Koi and Goldfish.

I've also started fishing at Professors Lake, lately. That lake holds some monster Large Mouth Bass. I haven't caught anything over 2 lbs, but you can see 4-6 lb swimming around. Never in my life did I think we would have big Bucketmouths cruising around in Brampton ponds.
