interesting read I usually totally agree with Marc taking bass off beds can't be a good thing however.... it is legal in New York, therefor people have every right to do it ethics and morals have nothing to do with it, that's a personal thing and everyone have their own set the only true guideline is the law, fish within it...bottom line if a reg. is unethical fight to change the regs. you can and should also use or own ethics and morals if they fall within the law to guide your fishing but at the same time not to judge or harass people who have a different set of ethics and morals that fall within the law it never hurts to discuss your ethics and morals, to explain them but not to try to impose them.. and in the end you should try to get the regs/law changed, not harass people fishing within the law

always great when one can go fishing with a parent

I say there is ice somewhere now I think maybe you should pick a lake

oh boy

yeah DC all the way

you need to know what you are looking for and what the going prices are and you can really do well but mostly I buy new got me a New Shimano Calais 200 DC...for under half the price you would pay here in canada

CLofchik is basically right

nice muskie nasty lamprey, looks like something I saw on the Xfiles

a couple of years ago I was fishing lake Simcoe on Jan 1 from a boat now that's Indian summer

gee.. you sound the same from over there and I see they mean a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush but if in that bush, a fair maiden should stand then a push in the bush , could be worth 2 in the hand

LOL

it's a great fish but why did he pose as if he was trying to hold a fish, but the fish was in the sled the plot thickens LOL just kidding

ahhhhhhhh..what we are willing do in Ontario for a little fall fishing

well they say a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush looks like a fun day of fishing

there are tons of studies that suggest that gbfisher is right and there is talk of stopping bass turneys in the fall when bass are real deep here is a cut and paste from one study Depth of Capture When fish are caught and retrieved quickly from deep water, injury may result from depressurization. Depressurization can result in over-inflation of the gas bladder, inability to submerge when released, gas embolisms, internal and/or external haemorrhaging and death. Freshwater fish have one of two basic types of swim bladders. Fish, such as carp, esocids, trout and salmon have a duct which connects the swim bladder to the alimentary canal. These fish can expel gas and make buoyancy adjustments more quickly than fish such as, bass, walleye, perch and most panfish which lack a connecting duct and rely on diffusion to deflate their swim bladder. Thus, while susceptibility to depressurization varies among fish species, it has the potential to be a significant source of mortality (Kerr, 2001). To release fish that suffer from depressurization a technique known as "fizzing" has been developed to artificially deflate swim bladders by puncturing the swim bladder with a sharp instrument. In a review of "fizzing", Kerr (2001) suggested that the practice should be discouraged, as significant damage can result from the procedure, and that fishing deep waters (5-6 m) should be restricted if fish are intended to be released. but if you want a good meal of walleye now is a good time to get them well not me I can't catch them

if you click on the link FAQS up a little higher on the page it will give you some answers here is the link FAQS with the dollar about to hit par with the US buck it may be the right time to buy down there
