Darn, I was going to try to make this because there is zero bite in the backyard right now. I might just go down there anyway. Can anyone tell me anything about the lake? Depth? Water clarity etc?
Thanks.
I was gonna give it a shot but if there's only 2-3 boats may not be worth it
cold always do Munroe, I'm sure some will go there??
The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"Speckanator LIKED above post
Funny how everyone was game for it until I changed to to catch and release. Guess its easier to preach than practice!
Mike I doubt your change to "catch and release" was the major factor in folks not showing much interest (I think 3 folks responded here). I can only speak for myself but as a non fish eating fisherman, "catch and release" is pretty much 99.9% of my norm. I can say though to some degree that maybe the choice of the very small lake came into the picture more than the added wrinkle, if you consider catch and release a wrinkle.Funny how everyone was game for it until I changed to to catch and release. Guess its easier to preach than practice!
Than again maybe some show up to these fests planning on keeping their fish and in that case, yes I can see why they may wanted to have skipped by this one.
At the time you stated the catch and release, IMO it didn't seem like a deal breaker.
I for one was going to wait and see the folks intending on attending, basing my decision on the total number of boats anticipated. The only concern I had was the size of the lake. Your added idea this past weekend came across as nothing short of a deal maker to me..............and Ill always try and support folks who show honest concern about a lakes stock.
I also believe alot of folks may be looking toward Crescent anywhere from December 1st thru March which also may be coming into the picture.
It was a good thought Mike............. even though the lake was small you came up with a super idea to possibly limit the pressure. Hats off to you my friend and let it roll off your back![]()
