Illegal stocking of Bass have the potential to absolutely ruin our native fishery and wipe out other native critters - salamanders, frogs, etc.
So, if the regs state - Bass Closure - No Fishing for Bass - Just don't do it.

Because it could lead to something much worse.

Agreed. I like the idea of Bass fishing but not at the expense of our own native species.

i say fish the hell out of em or do a massive cull and get the people responsible for transporting them lake to lake. As for bieng worried about getting charged for fishing them, when i open up the paper and read about another shooting in the lml i think the courts have bigger fish to fry ;)

" 8lb - 12lb LM are being pulled out of various sloughs around the Lower Mainland on a regular basis" ??  :o ??  wow...any hints as to where?

I think 8 inches to 12 inches would be much more accurate. ::) ;D

Hey K.C, Where is Katzie Marsh?

Oh, and I think I would have to agree with Salmon Sam, I've never pulled a Bass out any larger than 8" - 12" around the lower mainland.
I'm pretty sure they do get bigger, I just haven't found where yet.
But, I'm always willing to look for and try better locations.
And after fishing for Bass, I can understand why they are always on the fishing shows, its impossible NOT to catch them when they are around.
It would be nice to pull out a few hogs locally.

I was looking at the WCBA site and there is a link to a freshly added lake, but the link goes to a Trinity Western page that talks about how they are going to cull the bass, from the pond? Guess no one really wants the species in their waters, apparently the bass have pretty much destroyed the Salmon population there. Seems to me if there are bodies of water to be stocked with Bass, there should be absolutely no way they can get access to any other water body from that location, like Albert Dick Lake.

Remember when Bass fishing-are you after Smallmouth or Largemouth?

Smallies-smaller lures retrieved a bit faster start with something large/flashy and dull it down if no go.

Largemouth-generally go for larger slower moving lures so start that way and scale it down/speed it up if things are slow.
