i remember old days, when you took a 6 volt battery and 15' leads.......and/or
used the old hand crank armature....(that got tiring) small jon boat
Didn't use bait, hooks, poles, just a net to catch up came up ....kinda like shopping
at a buffet............just pick & choose, take some leave some.
"ring of baloney & 6 pack of Falls Staff / Drewry's / Hammm's didn't hurt..........
just don't mix that beer - ough - really could upset stomach on hot day.

It is far easier to bait a hole and drop a couple M80's in with em. Not that I have ever tried it or anything, but an orange sack stuffed with wagon train can sure draw a mix batch of fish in. And a 2 ounce pyramid surf sinker is plenty weight for 3 M80's with linked fuses. High school science experiments in Louisiana were fun, just sayin!

Science projects - i want to see the paper you wrote on that one.
M-80's would kill them ???? With shock method - you just picked what you wanted
in about 5 -10 minutes everyone came back to life and left................
(Bad thing that also came with shock - water snakes (all kinds and sizes bad & good
and they were not happy campers about being shocked) Up North didn't have to worry
about alligators, or pedators of that size (just them snakes)

Dern Harold, I am appauled that you thought I was fishin that waythat would have been illegal
I have baited catfish holes with wagon train and I have done an experiment with M80's but would never have mixed the 2

Sorry guys. Scaled fish don't shock, scales are insulators. Now catfish, eels and skin varmints will die. In my profession we had what was called "breakdown" sets. This was a metal box that held 14 45v drycell batteries that produced 630v at 5 amps. I know of two guys that hooked two of them together to make 1260v and 10 amps clipped to 2 pieces of hardware cloth. At Horizon Park just north of Tampa stadium there are some ponds. Threw the hw cloth in the pond 10-15 feet apart. When you hit the switch fish went crazy. Don't remember seeing any skinned fish but the bream were only stunned for a short while. Harold the paralyzed gentleman that lives near your place at Kiss. was the other one.
Wear your PFD!!!!!
This is the day the Lord hath made, rejoice and be glad in it.

My dad took us camping there twice a year (once in the spring, once in the fall) when I was little. Went there for several years in a row and we camped downstream of Silver Lake in what used to be a remote camping area. I'm the youngest of 7 but the three oldest kids didn't go camping by then so it was the 4 youngest of us that would go and he would let us each bring a friend. This was about 40 years ago. My family was big into the boy scouts and girl scouts so we always borrowed a trailer with canoes from the scouts so that each kid/friend pair had our own canoe. Now get this... this is how times have changed. We had a 22 (I think that's what it was) and we would paddle around looking for water moccasins and argue over who got to shoot them.
Several times we went camping in the 10,000 islands (no gps or anything but somehow my dad knew his way around those islands in a boat) and we spent some quality time as a family shooting at empty cans or whatever... you know, target practice. I must have been about 6 or 7 when I was let in on those games.
That explains a lot huh? Anyways, I digress... but I have a lot of fond memories of the Withlacoochie.
