"get away with"?? Nothing stopping 100 people from hitting the lake and keeping their daily quota of 4 bass.

Do you ever think before you type.....
The DFO condons killing of THOUSANDS of pikeminnow every year (its a DERBY by the way) that only end up in the trash, and those ARE a native species.
Great idea I think... where is Mill lake even, Ill come and try with the fly rod  ;)
Sorry noxcape.. I would much prefer fishing for trout and salmon, if I wanted to fish for bass I would go somehwere were they are suppose to be  ::)

I have fished that lake for a number of years before moving to the island. I have caught lots of bass in there. Also caught pumpkin seed as well. I see nothing wrong with a kill derby. It would be different if the bass were placed there by the ministry in which is wasn't. Also another place that has a ton of bass in Abbotsford is Fish Trap Creek. Not only does it hold a ton of bass but BIG BASS!!!

A kill derby wont kill off the bass and probably wont make a difference either. You may kill a couple hundred but their are way more than that in the lake. So once they spawn again its starts over again. Depending on size a female bass can lay as many as 100,000 eggs. So like I said its a losing battle. Once the bass are in there the only way to get rid of them is to poison the lake. In one year a bass grows between 2 and 5 inches. A largemouth bass can live up to 15 years.

Bren, the growth rate of most organisms is not linear. ;) In fact, most of the time we shrink a little as we get older. ;D

Mill Lake hit 60 degrees today. Don't kill the bass just yet. If the temperature of that lake keeps climbing the way it does, all that will be left will be the bass.

The bass eat the duck and goose crap - we need them in there otherwise the water goes bad.

I've seen a 5 pound largemouth caught there but I've never caught one. Then again I've never targetted the bass.

That's a pretty cool picture - stop using live bait. :)
