Pike bait?

TTP is zone 16 (2013 Pike opener is May 11th), Commercial deadbait that is labelled as VHS free is not a problem.

I really think the thing about zone 16 on that page is a mistake, or rather it's technically correct but misleading... take a look at the legal zone 16/20 boundary map for the Toronto Harbour: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume/...241378.pdf (see Detail 10). It shows that the boundary follows along the shoreline of Lake Ontario, including along all the lagoons of Leslie Spit. So while it's true that the land of Tommy Thompson Park is in FMZ 16, the waters I'd be casting into are FMZ 20.

And I had assumed that regs go according to the water you're fishing, not the land you're standing on, or else shore fishers could never take advantage of extended season rivers. But if that's not clear, I'll contact the MNR to be sure.
