No pressure, I’m sure the Karen’s that live around there chased them out of there shortly after.
oh unless it’s their children they probably allow them to fish there

Probably sight fished off a nest, happens all the time there.

 

[Derkd9]

Funny how you say happens all the time there...
all I have experienced attempting to fish there, or heard stories from people trying to fish there.
Take 2-3 casts and you’re being chased away by the locals or have the authorities called on you.

Kids get warnings,Adults different story,Adults are suppose to know better and read the signs.

 

[Derkd9]

What about adults with kids??????

WOW!!

Its a spawing or Spawned fish . You can tell by the belly. They are on the beds right now as I watched them the other day. As for size its a BIG bass that woukd be a pound heavier in September. They are out there... I personally saw a bigger largemouth in the French river that was easily a pound or 2 heavier . Regardless its a bass of a lifetime

I’m sure it’s recent
No leaves on trees and its been pretty warm a bunch of days the last few weeks been in shorts and T-shirts myself a bunch of times.
If I had an 8 lb bass on my line i’d be right in there too hahahah

Shouldn't be fishing Bass right now. As soon as you pull one off the nest it vulnerable to any other species to eat eggs or fry.

@Way She Goes let's bust these kids balls for being out there fishing

Bass all over the nests and have been for a bit now. Was watching them at the small local lake chasing the bluegill and crappies away..

No way bass have laced eggs or watching nest

Incorrect...the largemouth have been on the nest for about a week. I was watching them chase the smaller fish away. They may not have spawned yet but they are on the nests building. Largemouth spawn early May around 60 degrees.... water temp in my pond was 62 other day....

Nothing wrong with teaching them ethics and rules at an early age....They'll likely continue to break the laws right into adulthood unless someone explains to them what they're doing wrong.

Have to agree...dont know the circumstances on this so I won't comment but as much as we all like to see 8 pound ontario bass its probably best to explain the difference.
