Radio Show: Selective harvest and catch and release
Posted: 22nd October 2010 by Jeff in GeneralTags: Accessibility, aim, Bass, Bay of Quinte, catch and release, daily catch limit, ethics, fish fry, fishery, Fishing, possession limit, regulations, respect, responsibility, selective harvest, Walleye
This show discusses our responsibility as anglers to protect our fisheries to encourage sustainability for future generations. As we have discussed how to achieve depth when trolling, we also need to discuss the effects of bringing up a fish from too deep. Not just releasing a fish, but releasing a fish that will survive long term is the key. A good fish fry is something that many anglers enjoy; this is where selective harvest is encouraged. Feel free to leave any comments or questions regarding any of the topics that we discuss.

This show discusses the various methods to achieve depth when trolling. Be it fall trophy walleye on the Bay of Quinte, Lake Trout in back lakes, or Lake Ontario Salmon fishing, presenting your baits at the depths where the active fish are is key. We briefly touch on a few of these methods, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
An article that Jeff posted earlier this year regarding suspending crawler harnesses also discusses many of these methods. You can read that article here.

Don’t miss out on fall Largemouth Bass opportunities. The water is getting cooler and once you find them, they can be very aggressive. Before the water gets too cold, get out there and get in on the action!
