Kayser Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 If the grasscarp are the main problem, you might try fishing for them with corn, or sight fishing them with flies. Bowfishing works well, too. They have firm, white meat and taste great, but a lot of people are opposed to that because they paid so much for them (if it was triploids). If it's not triploids, I would recommend learning how to cut the bones out of the fillets- not too hard, just takes a little time. Rob WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk.

Mitch f Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Ok, So I get a call from Mark Van Patten from the MDC and he informed me that the agents they sent were able to determine that the LMB for sale in the market were purchased by legal means and had a legal paper trail. so the Chinese market was legal. On the same subject, a different agent at the MDC told me that if a farmer drained a pond, he could legally sell the fish to whomever he wanted as long as there was a bill of sale, which seemed odd to me.

So I go out and catch a mess of bass and sell them to you and give you a receipt. Therefore, there is a paper trail and you can sell those fish in a fish market. What a bunch of bull crap. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

I agree, I guess the only difference is when someone drains a pond they scoop the bass up with a net instead of catching them with a rod and reel. "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Trout Commander Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 So I go out and catch a mess of bass and sell them to you and give you a receipt. Therefore, there is a paper trail and you can sell those fish in a fish market. What a bunch of bull crap. It is my interpretation of the law - and it very well could be wrong - that your scenario would be illegal. The verbiage "were purchased by legal means and there was a legal paper trail" indicates they were bought legally e.g. from a fish farm and there was a paper trail to support it. This is my interpretation of the verbiage and it may be as far off as my interpretation of the law may be. To the topic of someone draining a pond and selling the fish. That in my eyes is legal and sensible. The person built the pond and stocked it. Or even if the MDC helped in stocking I am pretty sure it would still be legal although I would take exception to it just the same as the MDC partnering with a landowner to stock a pond and the land owner not allowing anyone to fish the pond*. Anti flame asterisk: *Of course I know they aren't required to let anyone fish there pond, MDC only requests that the pond see reasonable usage, nor am I saying I or anyone else should be entitled to fish anyones private pond. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack

Kayser Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 The difference between the farmer draining the pond to get the fish and you catching them is that the farmer owns the entire pond, with the fish in it, while you are probably going after a public resource. Statewide limits/lengths don't apply to entirely private waters, just public. So technically, they are his fish, and it counts as an animal husbandry practice if the farmer harvests them. And I think you only need a permit for aquaculture if you use a certain amount of water or sell a certain tonnage/year. ***I haven't researched this at all, so I could definitely be wrong- this just seems like the most sensible explanation for that scenario.

snagged in outlet 3 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Sorry FT. I don't have anything to do since my golf tourney got cancelled today. I have a chance to go fishing next weekend but with all the rivers blown out and The Norfork Dam pumping hot water into the river it doesn't look good. I'm bored!!!! Need fish!! Pete
