Default Be Careful On Cold Lake (French Bay)

Report it, drag it to shore so others don’t get caught up in this.
Have hauled up a few nets over the years, one at besnard lake amounted to a lot of lures as we dragged it up on land gagging, trying not to puke, but man it was loaded with lures.

Wow, that's a lot of fish. That must have been a PITA to untangle from your prop/leg.

How or why do they end up getting left? That BS on so many levels man, gee whiz. Hope it wasn't too much of a hassle. Shame about the wasted fish. Man oh man

Can charges be laid? Very reckless & uncaring waste of a limited resource.

"stewards of the land"


Keepers of the lake!!!





I heard a white guy did something wrong. By the logic in this thread I guess that means all white guys suck.

I hear what you are saying too.
People assume who owns the net etc.
End of the day it was found, report it, remove it so others do not have issues getting snagged in it but more importantly nothing else gets stuck in it.
