Well....I "Heard" LDWF was talkin' about closing the "Bone" for Crappie Fishing for a couple of years.....seems there are a few "Ole Men" living around Forks-Ferry Bend who have fished it dry of perch....gotta give the fish a chance to recover......;-)

I've never been to Mercury to fish. Caught a few on Mars and a nice mess on Saturn. But since there is a warning, I'm not gonna fish Mars. Ever!!

when I was a kid my dad brought home liquid mercury from work (telephone company).....it had been used in a switch on a bifold door to turn on the light in an old telephone booth....when you got in and closed the door the light would come on......the point is....we played with that stuff all the time, rolling it back & forth in our hands, etc.......it was pretty cool stuff.......learned later in life that it can create extreme desires to want to go fishing.......

Maybe that's my problem. We would break thermometers on purpose just to play with the mercury.

(27 years ago)...I been eatin em as fast as I can catch em for about that long. Had a good hole underneath one of those signs they had nailed to a cypress tree. And look at me.......hey....what was that?

Mercury was used in oil based paints to make it Mildew Resistant, and other chemical plants in their Processes. It is in the settenents of most Rivers. Flooding exposes some long Buried in strong currents. Coastal States moniters shellfishlike and closes the beds to fishing when too high. Bottom feeding Fish have higher levels than Game fish. Storms too sturr up those sediments.
