Illegal to shore fish in Toronto Harbour !!

[Craneboy]

I emailed pretty well everyone in the TPA contact list on March 7,....and all I got was one "out of office" reply....LoL

I totally agree with the Marine Police's concerns about shore-fishing in busy commercial areas near high traffic wharves and people-busy Harbourfront area. ...BUT... there are many isolated sections that should be posted and enjoyed !

What also scares me is the fact that Tommy Thompson Park, Ontario Place...AND...the Toronto Islands are clearly pictured in their jurisdiction map to which a person could be subject to detainment or arrest:

Anyhoooo...I'm gonna "test the waters" ...again....so to speak

I'm trying to organize a "Fish-In" for Sunday, March 11th (yes...TODAY!!) @ high noon....til 3 pm or so...

The weather is supposed to be spectacular ??

Location: The sheltered public dock area just west of the Central Ferry Docks (south of 77-99 Queens Quay condos)...aka Harbour Square Park.

Meet by the cute little waterfall.... underneath the willows !!

Cheers..... Rx

P.S. Bring lots o' grubs....and sunscreen !!

I've read the on-line regulations of the Toronto Port Authority (TPA), which replaced the Toronto Harbour Commision in 1999,..... and yes there are restrictions but I really doubt they are all that wide sweeping.

In any case...... I have sent a written inquiry on this topic along to the TPA asking for explanation & clarification. They should respond within 2 business days.

I'll share their answer then.................
