2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 30, 1990 From Page 1 evening, and Rob wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of fishing that night. But he agreed and the two of them were spin casting off the dock at Caesarea when the monster hit the small Rebel crank-bait lure that looks like a frog. "At first I thought it must be a carp or maybe a muskie," Tom told the Star. "Then when we got a look at it, we knew it was a pickerel." Tom knew it was trophy- size, and he also knew he might have trouble landing it as he was fishing with light tackle and eight-pound test line. "I just let him swim around for about 15 minutes or so," he said. As luck would have it, they had neglected to bring a net with them, so when Tom finally eased the fish alongside the pier, Rob held itin the water un- til Tom was able to lift it out by the gills.

By the time they got it home and weighed, it was 13 pounds, 14 ounces. Tom figures if this fish was caught in late winter just before the ice goes out it might have gone as high as 16 pounds, as ickerel tend to pack weight on just before the spring break-up. In any event, it's the larg- est pickerel he's ever caught. After a quick trip to taxi- dermist Ron Armstrong in Woodville, the fish is now ready for mounting on the living room wall, right up there beside the muskie and the King salmon. Just as a matter of interest the weight of the average picke- rel taken in Ontario is three Police concerned about rumours From Page 1 mours flying around right now." He went on to say that most young people can go out Hallo- ween and have some fun with- out creating serious problems. It's the small minority of serious trouble-makers that Po- lice are most concerned about. Police will beef up their reg- ular patrols in other communi- ties in the 26 Division area in- cluding Uxbridge and Beaverton, where there were serious incidents last Hallo- ween.

Tom and Rob spend a lot of free time fishing together, and they are now in the process of making their own lures, based on old designs. Fishing buddies thrilled to land 14 Ib. Pickerel Tom admits it's not likely he'll ever hook and land a bigger pickerel in Scugog. But he doesn't mind a bit, cause the proof is on the wall of one monster that didn't get away. Residents opposed to two-storey 7A duplex Residents who live in the vicinity of Highway 7A and Simcoe Street in Port Perry have expressed strong opposi- tion to a proposal to build a two storey duplex in the neighbour- hood. The opposition was ex- pressed in front of a public hear- ing Monday afternoon in the- council chambers. They said the neighbour- hood is zoned for single family homes, and the proposed duplex would alter the area and per- haps lower existing property values. The property in question is on the northwest corner of Sim- coe St. and Highway 7A. George Brouwer has ap- plied to change the zoning to al- low construction of a duplex. If granted, he plans to tear down the existing two storey frame house. Last May, council gave ap- proval in principle to the re- zoning provided the applicant met several conditions for park- ing. set-backs and buffering ad- jacent properties. NOW on VIDEO Residents opposed to the re-zoning said Monday they bought their homes on the un- derstanding the area was for single family dwellings. Allowing a duplex could open the way for similar appli- cations, they argued. And they were concerned over the proposed design of the duplex. It has a raised base- ment which makes the struc- ture appear like a three-storey triplex. Council will make a deci- sion on the re-zoning request in the near future. Also on Monday, council heard a proposal for a gas bar/ car wash/coffee shop/ conven- ience store for the northwest corner of the intersection of Highway 12 and Regional Road 21in Manchester. Ray Abbott of Oshawa told council the car wash would use cleaned and re-circulated wa- ter. He said the donut shop and gas bar would operate 24 hours, Turn to Page 19 R] New Line Cinema Brain, No Pain.
