TWRA say that trout are in the stretch from which it crosses I-27 to the point that it is closest to 153 at a road that is eithe called Boy Scout or Gadd rd. The main lake is at a favorable temp for them they can and often go as far as the want.

It's looking like a Rube Goldberg design. What happened lead or 50/50 tin-lead wire bent in the shape of a banana?

"Sligh told the judge he was confused about how to properly measure fish, and which species the 34-inch size limit applied to." </p> ^ this is so lame, he is almost guaranteed to screw up more regulations.</p>

Did anyone find out what the court ruling was?

All black bass can cross. TWRA even tried to introduce some crosses to see if they could be more hardy. They are convinced what they let go in the water all died because it did not turn up in electro-fishing surveys.

Using as little water as possible is achieved with over filling a zip-loc bag and after you have sealed the opening almost all the way squeez air and excess water out of the small opening. If no air is in the bag you can just allow the water to drain out in the sink.

It seems like all kids have some interest in fishing, nut they all bring their own level of patients and level of interest. Some times it is just as exciting for them to watch you reel in a fish, even a small bream. My youngest nephew had some beginers luck casting a zebco and then it required...

I never heard any reason solid enough to justify higher out-of-state license fees. I would say that non-discriminatory pricing would encourage more out-of-state revenue and even more of a bottom line. If GA residents want to support TWRA I say we make it as easy as possible for them.

Maybe it's a 12 foot surf rod. The length helps the 1-4 oz weight to get even further out there and a medium to soft action will limit the leverage the fish has on the angler. These rods also have beefy fighting handles. My next cat rod will be a surf rod if I decide to continue to fish from...

The trick where the hook is pulled throught the gill opening with a length of line seems to work very well. I use live minows for crappie and use a size 4 ro 2 Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap, which is circular due to the short shank/wide gap. If it is foul hooked, all I need to do is stick a...

It appears the knot failure in superlines is due to slippage. The surface is very slick especialy if it is fused line. When I really want the knot to stay, I use a lighter to burn 1/2 inch tag end, blow out the flame, and use the metal part to flatten out the melted superline. This 'stoppie'...

what fish?

I would say if no one proposes a better name than minner's suggestion by the weeken we should agree on Rosie.

He also has DVD's. To illustrate one clip was of LM bass fiishin with a wacky hoohed worm. The bass watched it when it was at the same depth but when it fell below that and rested on the bottom just 5 feet down the bass lost interest. The diver gave instruction to lift it back up then the...

I figure the fish are biting well when I'm not at the water. But sport fishing is enhanced by the challenge of using particular methods and stratigies. Warm water and night fishing seem to be the only true universal indicators of an active bite.

"Sligh was cited for 10 counts of over the limit of catfish over 34 inches, one count of commercial fishing within 100 yards of the mouth of a creek or slough, one count of having more than 3/4 of a slough blocked off by commercial nets, and one count of illegal tags on commercial nets. Coulter...

With most softplastic manufacturers impregnating scents in their product would you say that some are worth it when crappie fishing or is it better to focus on visual stratigies to get the crappie to bite?

The water temp is almost a side note. As far as the relation from temp to spawning goes the only thing that really matters is the internal temp of the fish. The evening warmth may induce prespawn feeding while the cold of the morning will shut it all down. To make it even more complicated...

I was watching Beat Charlie Moore this morning, and the challenge was Charlie vs the 4 lb bass. Based on claims that he could not catch a 4 lb bass. And at the end he caught a smallie that looked 3 lbs at best. Even though there was a camera shot of the scale display showing 4 lb 2 oz, they...

Introducing goldfish to a body of water is a violation and possible fine from TDEC. Making sure they are dead or will die is probably your best oprion. People get all emotional about their pet they can no longer keep and decide to set it free in local waters. Goldfish not only originated in...
