From what I have been told, this is the angle that is most likely to get rid of them on Conway.

Its a shame we all dont get what we want. If i had it my way we would go back to the old rappold days where nobody come up at that creek . Id have the pool to myself but thats just not the case . How many deer got shot this yr in the state of arkansas , with blood drawn everywhere and the hunter not find them? How many ducks are out there that got slammed with steel shot not to wad up and fall dead but flew off to their inevitable death bed? Only never to be found There is wildlife strung from one end of this state to the other out there wasting that never got honored with human consumption. Now was this the intentions of the hunter, to be out there killing and wasting ? Id like to thank not atleast for 99.9% of the ones it happened to this year, but none the less its casualties of the sport. With that being said do i believe someone goes through the trouble of buying yoyos/limblines ,bait and time putting them out just to kill a fish and not do anything with it ... Haha no thats not how the story goes , but there are two sides to this book. Who's to say the owner of that marked yoyo didnt have a family emergency fall upon them that needed direct and immediate attention the night they last baited. Dont get me wrong laziness does play into it but not every case and who are we to decided otherwise? In my eyes this doesnt justify destruction or theft of property that should be left up to mr green jeans.
Ive seen on here where people wanted to get together and go out and gun down all kinds commarants but you let one die on a limb line and by god we got problems. Just like the swans in the pool last yr, i heard person after person crying/complaining oh theyre eating all kinds of our crappie somebody needs to do something about it and on and on and on but yet again let one get on a limb line and here we go again.
Maybe if we made a little noise somewhere where it matters about the neglect of checking game regulations on conway or the under staff of wardens we might make a little progress. But to be calling for all yoyos/limb lines to be banished that aint right just bc it aint your way of fishing i cant help that. I dont understand why someone needs 6 , 8 , 10 rods hung off their boat spiderrigging. It seems like an awful easy way for a fish to swallow a hook bc soneone got distracted whether it be tying on a hook or taking a fish off whatever and with the new length limit what are you gunna do with an 8 inch crappie that you had to rip the gills out to get ur hook back? Its gunna get throwed back into the water die and go to waste. So should we pushing for this to be done away with?
Dont get me wrong chris when i first started limblining this past spring it made me sick at all the lines i found left out there for hooks to rot off. But my way of fixing it was to pull them out of the water and bury that hook into a limb so nobody/nothing got hurt and nobody could get me for destruction/theft of property . Dude i understand the passion and love inside you for that lake and for crappie fishing and i promise you i carry it to man but if youve ever reached down grabbed a limbline that had a 40 50 plus pound flathead on it going bat sheet crazy you would understand the passion inside of me for limblining

If they mark them and follow all regs there would not be a problem but that won't happen. There are some that will set them legal or not. Outlawing them is not the answer but enforce laws already on the books. The big Flatheads would be under utilized if only fishing allowed was poles. I can see both sides of this problem. I love to use set lines but good hooks and lines are too expensive to leave out. They are not only a hazard to wildlife when left out but if water drops like it does on Nimrod it can be dangerous for boaters!

And by the way, I never run or check someone else's lines. All of these photos are of abandoned lines, with fish/wildlife that was left to rot.

No............ I made no assumption of you giving a crap! That is painfully obvious that you do not! One time you say the lines were abandoned...... then the next post you say it was properly tagged.......... You would have NO idea if the fish was past the point of human consumption IF you were not messing with others equipment!

But sooner or later your luck in getting away with destroying other peoples equipment will end.............Then you will be on here complaining about that............

May be that we need to photograph violation ( dead fish rotting on yoyo) and info on the yoyo then gps location send to AGFC hotline!

That makes perfect sense to me and would be appropriate responsible behavior.................
