Roe thieves
« on: October 12, 2013, 06:28:43 PM »
Maybe I should post this in lost found stolen forum.  I was at the crossing today and landed a fresh doe chum.  I bonked, bled her and then put a stick through her gills and drove in into the gravel in some back water. I then continued fishing for another hour or so hoping to get some red meat.  When I decided to pack it in I was shocked to see the chum gone! The stick was up on the shore.  As I headed back to my vehicle I found the chum on the trail gutted, roe gone.  I thought I had seen everything. What a classless move!!!

As I was planning to feed it to my dogs, yes I did.

I hate how this time of year its all about the berries so you can catch more coho. I live by the theory if you cant catch enough fish to sustain your roe habit then you should have to buy fresh frozen roe and cure it OR buy pre cured.


HOOK - will be buying some roe if I don't get a couple more doe's next time out  :)

Can't trust people no more...

Fish goes into my cooler ASAP. If an A-hole isn't going to steal it, a bird or something else might try.

Really pisses you off to see they just tossed the fish away though. If they are going to steal from you, at least use the whole damn fish! Glad you could still grab it for the dogs.

The way I interpret this is that you bonked a chum only because you wanted the roe and the fish was going to the dog regardless...right ??

If so I have zero sympathy for you, even though it's a shame that people would stoop this low, you know, kinda like killing something just for the sake of getting some roe and feeding the rest to the mutt when it's perfectly good food, especially smoked.  ;)

He didn't want to eat the fish himself, but he was planning on fully utilizing the fish. In my books, thats practically as good as if he was going to eat it.

Dogs gotta eat to, I have no issue with feeding fish to dogs.

First of all Pal. My dogs are not Mutts.  In fact they are members of the family. Two labs that would put a smile on your face if u saw them at the river with me.  Our vet has encouraged us to feed them salmon as they both have skin issues.  I quite often smoke my chum and any fish I kill do not go to waste and fyi my mutts also get indulge in coho, red spring etc.
