Well either learn to tie an egg or.......................... Both work. You want some help with the eggs let me know. Once someone showed me how to do it correctly it was really easy.

Nice Lancer. You had a great day weather wise. We floated that stretch on New Year's day and the only producer for us was an egg pattern.

Yep. It has several strips of .030 lead to help.

It seems that Oklahoma doesn't have a problem doing it. I haven't heard of anything bad about the way that they do it. Plus the earned money could pay for the a lot of the paddlefish program. Seems like they are not being very responsible by requiring everyone to throw away a valuable resource. That would be like the diamond fields in Arkansas telling everyone they can come search for diamonds but if you find one we will smash it with a hammer.

Well there goes my fish scent idea.

Little SF Flashblend, little Lite Brite, still rockin the CCG eyes.

Whaaaat? I like Brady better than Manning but feel the Broncos have a better shot. Good luck OTF, hope you enjoy the game. What about SF and Seattle though? I keep thinking Seattle but all the guys on the radio think SF.

Wow that's hilarious, did you come up with it yourself or did you have to google that dumbass. I've been overweight my entire life and have good friends that call me worse. So I don't know if you were just trying to be funny or you really are that stupid. Whatever. I'm done trying to help the few ignorant understand what everyone else is trying to tell you. But if we are going to do things your way we will be expecting specific locations on all your reports. If you need help with writing or a map just let me know and I'll hire you a tutor. Always felt better helping those that need it, kind of like Jerry's kids.

Seth I've never seen anybody shoot up with heroin before but I hear it happens.

Why don't you just quit again princess. You are the one that needs to give everyone a break.

See that's the problem, you don't know everything. I see a lot of meat fisherman on the James. They take everything they catch, smallmouth included. Short or out of season they do not care. I've seen two written tickets and they just shrug it off. I've seen a guy take a big smallie from the Finley. It was out of season. He tried to give it to me. When I explained that it wasn't legal to keep it and since he didn't want it he should just release it. No way, that was the biggest fish he had ever caught and he wasn't letting it go. Makes no sense right? It's not the people you know Seth. I have friends that are meat hunters too. But I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about the people I don't know. The guys floating around with stringers of 10 inch smallmouth. Saw it last summer on the Big Piney. But they weren't doing any harm if you asked them. Just enough for dinner.

CCG has the best eyes.

Give up Spoon and Wayne, they are obviously too ignorant to get it. I remember SB whining like a little girl when this happened in one of his spots. Obviously these guys are not what you would consider conservationists. And if all this bullshit about just trying to help the good folks here at OAF were true the same report wouldn't be on a hunting forum. Whatever, I don't care, just a bunch of mouthy punks on the internet that I don't care to be around anyways.

Yep. Their decision will be bought and paid for.

If you are headed to the one in Springfield, Freddy's Steakburgers is just across the street. Good stuff.

I think if you look around at those that have an issue with this you will understand that they DO help out. It's not about not helping the members here, it's about not helping people that are just cruising the internet looking for the good spots. If you don't think it happens then you are nuts. It happens a lot more than what you realize. I really don't care, I don't fish that area. But you have to realize what this does to the fishery. Those smallmouth are going to come from miles away to winter in that area. So it's not just the pressure on the fish in that hole, it's affecting a huge population. And to think that 100% of those fish make it back without harm is a beautiful dream, but it's not happening. I have given detailed information to many on here. I've given up spots that most people would never find in a million years. But I did it through a PM that didn't put that information out there for everyone to find. It wouldn't be fair to the resource. Like I said, I really don't care. I have never fished there and probably never will. But don't get all upset when someday somebody gives up one of your "secret" locations.

That would be awesome. I could bring a boat as well.

It's pointless Mitch. They don't get it. But they will someday.

I wouldn't expect anything different from you! I'm spending the night though so I'll expect a decent breakfast.

Ha! Good luck to you. Maybe we can take them up to the flats before the end and see who ends up with the biggest.

I liked the assistant, she's a cutie. Looks like she was having a good time too.

What if I buy the eyes from the dollar store? I'll play.

How do you like that new camera? Been planning on a GoPro but this looks interesting too.

Cowboys fall down just like everyone else.

Well if you run across me just go around and continue fishing cause I really don't care. The only ones that bother me are the ones that want to leapfrog down the river. I really don't want to keep passing the same people over and over again.
