it's not fishing, it's harvesting. And the only people who should be doing this, are the people who can't afford food. There is no sport in it. No fish taste as good as one brought in on a line.
just my opinion

TIVO I don't know where you get your ideas. People who can't afford food usually won't work and there is a lot of work in " harvesting " fish with floats. If they are really biting you will work your butt off. What's the difference between putting out 15 rod and reels from putting out 15 floats. There's some difference in the cost of money I know but the work and goal is the same. With rod and reels it's a little easier. Now traps are a different story. You bait the trap, leave it for a couple days and then come back and it's full of fish. Harvesting. Float fishing is fun and the fish taste just as good. Try it sometimes.

one rod, one man (or woman) one fish! that's the way it should be, then throw it back alive.

If that happens then you are not watching where you are driving. No wonder so many people stay on your butt. Lakebum said you were a nice guy. Now I don't know. Destroying other peoples property? Not nice.

I'm not talking about the random..classy...milk bottle.....I'm talking when several are placed in areas around piers and recreational areas.
When fishing line gets between your prop and and foot....it will erode your seal and cause a leak and allow water into your gear oil.
Do you not call that destruction of property? : D
I cut them when they are around our piers or areas where we all have to drive through.
There's too many unpopulated sloughs where fishermen can put their trot lines for them to be putting them around a populated slough.

There's a lot of them you can't see at night.
How do we dodge them?

Where do you go at night? Now I have never had that problem when boating at night. Except for moonlit nights my boating is usually confined to traveling to and from a friends house or to Chucks for pizza and kereoke. No pun towards you. On moonlit nights we just drift and enjoy the moon. We don't go into the backs of sloughs ( where the fishing is done ) and hide. Yes we loose some floats to people not watching where they are going ( even though we are sitting right there ) and they just plow right through, or to the wind that will blow one to your pier. Hey, just pull it up and throw it away. I'll replace it. We must all learn to get along and coexist peacefully and accept each other as we are. Otherwise the suits will shut down the lake.

It's a decent size lake there Lakeman!!
Sometimes we go to Kowaliga. We've got friends on the lake from one end to the other.....although I must say....we seldom go toward Wind Creek area.
You just can't see them all the time.
I just don't like the way they look when they're around my pier.....and I'm not going to throw them back out all the time.....so I just cut them and throw away the milk jug or Coke bottle.
It's not like they cost anything.
You're right......we all DO have to get along......but so must the trot-liners as well.

Well, you could just get a trawler and paint sporty stripes down the side. I"m kinda like BAJ on this one. For a lake I like the idea of the old fishing boat that won't do 70 mph with sonar, radar and all the other stuff. I suppose its human nature to want bigger and better results though. That's just not for me.

What bothered me was the heron with the bloody wing I had to cut off somebody's trot line. Poor thing. If anyone sees a heron with 2 feet of red line hanging out of his bill, you know what happened.
|
is there anything that does not bother you on lake martin?
|
I would have said stratman on that but it would have sent me to the fbi .......dog

From reading several of these posts on this thread.......I'm not the only one that doesn't like trot lines. There's nothing sporting about them, and they trash up the scenery.
I answer when someone responds. A conversation, after all, takes two.

And I haven't seen any discussion on trot lines?
I don't like the fact that I have to wait another 3 weeks to come and shoot your geese, but that's the law. To each his own I suppose.

Well maybe I missed the conversation there Lukeskywalker. : D
When you shoot the geese....for no other reason than just to kill them.....you'll bring discredit to yourself.....and no one else.
Make us proud!!

in a 3 step process:
1. Locate them (you have done that for me)
2. Kill them (I'll take care of that)
3. Clean and process (strip the coat, prepare the meat).
We's gone be eatin gud dis winner, ya ya!
Not sure why you assume I won't eat them? I will. Eventually.

Set up the boat and throw out some dry wheat and shoot them while they feed. Maybe scare up a few in flight just to make it sportier and keep your shootin skills honed.

This would make a great article for the LAKE MARTIN LIVING mag. : D
You guys could poke your chest out for the photo op and tell the tale about how much skill it took to slaughter geese that will eat out of your hand. : D
I hardly take you guys seriously....but your reputation is your own. : D
