not sure education is the answer, if some contestants fish aren't healthy and swim away after weigh in then don't allow that contestant to participate again! now that might get there attention
sadly I feel a lot of the fishermen that fish the small derbys don't care about the the welfare of the fish just ma chance to make a check. floaters after the weigh ins certainly supports this view point. I was in a club that put on a charity tournement for years and there was always a release boat present with huge treated tanks and people that new how to revive fish. this will piss off some people but I feel that if you can't provide this resource at a tourny then you have no bussiness holding one
went today and fished from the bank which is a futile effort. water up in the bushes and bank access is very limited. caught one 6" bass on the ned so I broke out some crank baits and spinner baits to tune them so it wasn't a total wasted day but then going fishing is never a waste of time
SHARE SHARE SHARE,lol I've always wondered when your rogue is at depth how can you tell if its rising slowly or sinking. enquring minds want to know I'm a hughe fan of a rogue, the other brands are only want a be's
not a flat head expert but there is quite a bit of standing tember in table rock from the kimberling area all the way up the James arm. blue guill should be easy to come by. a live guill on a number 8 ought circle hook fished around some timber and you could be in for a tussle. you will find bluffs or points with timber in that area of the lake. I have caught several small flatheads on plastic worms while bass fishing there. good luck and you will like table rock
one more thing to add, nothing wrong with being red red neck, but if your a dumb arse red neck and proud of being a dumb arse then you are just plain dumb whether your neck is red or not !!!!!!!!!!!
this country is now full of oxygen thieves like him. they are breeding and fast becomming the majority, oh yes and they probably vote too. BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID
1st time I used them was the late 50's out of lead hill on bull shoals. they were made by creme a natural worm color and they stank. they have come a long way
how many guys on here beside myself been around long enough to remember when rubber worms came on the scene. fished em on a lead head jig exsposed hook and man would they catch fish [still do]
