when is the pond trip?

Not in a case like this. It would clearly be a commercial fishing violation. They can lose their license to fish.

As far as proof... Theu say a picture can be worth a 1,000 words... In this case, maybe a $1,000! Video.   Even better.

My friend Steve has the video and is going to show the DNR at the show this weekend....

Please either have him stop by our booth, or let us know on here, what their reaction was.

Different Steve I tink?   didn't take any video but wish I had taken photos of the dead fish in the net.

My friend Steve went last night to the show and showed the pics and videos.... They basically blew him off....


I'll explain more later.

Well, My friends Steve and Brad fished the hot pond once again on Sunday.... Not a single bass. They looked into the fish netting company's floating fish barge again.... Lots of dead fish again. This time there was 4 dead cormorants and one 1/2 alive... So now we see they are killing wildlife... 


Thanks to the DNR that wont go check, Even though they have seen pics and video with gps coordinates, Time stamps and the smoke stacks in the pics.   The DNR knows what is going on with proof!


Still they show no interest in even looking...

 I would suggest contacting the TV stations in Detroit to see if they have interest.   Send the video with photos.

That's not a bad idea. Sometimes it helps to light a little fire somewhere that will get noticed. Can make things happen. Sometimes they need that little help to get going...

Anyone tried the hot ponds this fall?  Same situation?

[dartag]

Funny the last couple days my FB has been bringing up the former trips there.  Probably teasing me that I will not get my boat parts until July of next year ( maybe ).  Hope someone gets out there and posts a report.

What is wrong with your boat Steve?

[dartag]

Electric pump inside the VST is dead.   Ordered and paid for one from Euro Marine Sept 16th.  They said 6 days backorder.   They have updated it every week.  Now tomorrow is the next date.   Sadly I found a couple at dealers that have it but since I paid for it I have to wait.   It is an expensive part.  Boat is put away and I am getting ready for Florida.  Hopefully I have it by April.       

[Hollada]

Mike, have you been to the ponds this fall?  They fishing any better then last year?

[21XDC]

I have not gone to the HP yet this year in my big boat... I fish it all winter in my custom boat that I keep there.

My next fishing will be from a golf cart.
