madbomber, nothing to do with our dispute the other day, but i dont think pms are the answer. we are all grown here and can talk out loud in public. nothing wrong with that. just dont say bs as i learned. lol.

im glad to see that someone else on here is discussing something serious. glad im not involved this time. lol.
 
Lets get back to the other subject. I emailed the watershed office and they replied be asking was this the same creek that connects to Nickajack and is across from the island. She is going to call me to confirm tomorrow. But how i read the email she had no idea that the rumor of it being off limits was out there. I will feel you in tomorrow
 
Hey Brannon if I remember right there is a sign that says no trespassing or keep out, something like that. Anybody else know?
 
Flip, Other post have said that to. But is it over the water or land? I also noticed a no trespassing sign in the marina across from the ramp at the dam. (Chick side.) but they had hung a cable across the creek.
 
2jigs and I talked to the game warden last weekend at Mocassun Bend and he said there were NO restrictions in fishing that creek. You will NOT get a ticket from the game warden for fishing in that creek. You may get shot at by the owners of the land but they don't own the creek.
 
Heck you mount one to forever be able to re-live the memory. Pictures are not the same. You cant touch it, etc. Also show me any decent looking replica. All I have ever seen have looked like crap.

Let each do whatever they want with their legal catch. I would rather see one 7 lber taken out than 100 12 inchers.
 
Yes & I've got the right to say. IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER NEXT YEAR! If you have been in Sportsmans Warehouse you hav seen a good looking replica mount. They will last 30-40-50 Yrs. The other way looks like junk in no time. Skeet, as for the GW Matt Majors is the man around here as far as GW's go & he said fish away. And if they shoot at you, first duck your head. Then shot back.emoLaugh emoLaugh emoLaugh

Yes! you are off the hook this time! But I'm betting you will get another chance! Keep it light!! emoLaugh
 
In Big L's defence , I have seen him release many nice fish as a matter of fact that is the only L/M I've ever seen him take. That bass had some kind of sores on it like it had the measels or something.

TT, thats a Panamanian dialect of Spanish, it says " Never, will She go?????????? I dont get it.

Flip, you are so funny!!! Glad you werent my latin teacher
 
THANKS FOR THE BREATH OF FRESH AIR THERE AL,,,IVE BEEN GETTING SLAMMED...IF I HAD HAVE KNOWN THAT IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE THIS MUCH FRICTION BETWEEN EVERYBODY I WOULD HAVE NEVER POSTED THE MEASLED UP FISH..... I ALWAYS PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE............BUT WHEN MY 5 YEAR OLD TOLD ME BEFORE I LEFT TO GO FISHING,{DADDY BRING ME HOME A BIG FISH] I DID.....I HATE IT WHEN ONE EVEN SWALLOWS A HOOK AND MAY DIE...


SO. TO ALL THE LIBERAL TREE HUGGERS I AM BY NO MEANS ##### A FISH KILLER ####

UH . UNLESS IT IS A SPOTemoSmile
 
the only fish i have ever kept for a mount is a 3 lb bluegill but if you want to mount one then so be it. Go to a summer CBA event and look at all the fish flowing after weigh in. that is much more disturbing that a guy mounting a fish. If you do not want to kill a few then stop fishing. It is going to happen!!!

AMEN.
 
Yep, its a shame that a fella keeps a legal fish and catches flack for it. I figured there was more to the story than everybody knew. Moral to this, dont be so hasty in your judgement. We have a member on here that is a fine man, he posted a pic of some just keeper size largemouths that folks that he had taken fishing wanted to take home. He got blasted too, before he could tell everyone that these were people that rarely ever fish and just were taking a mess home with them. They were from out of state and had purchased out of state permits to have fun and take a few fish home, sounds fair enough to me. He shouldnt have had to even tell WHY in the first place. He later told me on a PM that he will never make that mistake again, posting a pic of fish being kept. This member has a wealth of fishing knowledge and since that happened I have noticed he doesnt post near as much as he used to. He is a great resource to all of us. Everybody knows what conservation is, everybody knows all about catch and release, why the heck do we have to keep getting it shoved down everybodies throat? Some feel one way and others another, thats o.k., right?
 
I agree, and did not mean to offend anyone. It is a man's right if he wants to keep a fish...Kind of like...Man Law.
 
Hey Big L, I wouldn't worry one bit about keeping her. About the only reasons I never keep fish are 1. You must catch them to keep them and 2. I really, and I mean really suck with a filet knife.

Also, what's worse, keeping one that might not make it and taking it home to eat, or just letting it float off and die. I've seen several floaters, even after our little Tx's.
 
Once again let's get back to the other subject. This is the reply to my email to the local Water shed office.

From what I can gather, the judge ruled that no fire arms can be brought onto Baylor campus or areas contained within Baylor campus such as the lake. I did not see any information stating that boating or fishing is prohibited. I've contacted TWRA to gain more insight into the judge ruling and will get back to you once I hear from them. It could be next week before they contact me. Thanks for your patience.

Dose this clear it up for anyone?
 
Skeeter, " Baylor Lake" and the area they are calling " Baylor Creek" are totally different areas, right? The little creek that the fish was caught , that goes under the bridge, is what is in question. I know the area " Baylor Lake" very well and it is alright to fish for sure. The little creek has the sign up.
