How NOT to catch a goby.

[Skunkd]

I caught a bunch a couple of weeks ago in Burlington as well. (LaSalle Park Marina). I was with the kids, using worms, fishing right on the bottom. We weren't having any luck with any other fish, and the kids found it amusing to be pulling the goby's out fairly regularly, so we kept targeting them. Figured we were doing the body of water a favour.

I think most people there feed them to the seagulls, because as soon as you pull one out, the seagulls come close and squawk for you to throw it at them. Which my kids were happy to oblige.

Ministry Officer came by just as we caught one and made sure we weren't throwing them back in, then left.

happy fishing!
