Thread: no keepers - too big LP 11 07 17

Good gracious.

Those are beautiful fish for sure. I'd love to spend a day catching that quality of fish.
I always enjoy your pics and posts. Keep em coming!

thnx guys - appreciate the comments

One question .... why are they "too big" to keep

Over on this side of the world, we're only concerned with "too little" to keep. Are you saying that Cal. (or that lake) has a law that says you can't keep a fish OVER a certain length ??

CP - have a slot limit on the boat for the CNBG, 8" to 9.5" are keepers (if you are keeping fish). We also release hens with eggs. I don't think BGs over 10" taste good - maybe the warm water.....

Oh, OK .... so it's a "self imposed" size limit.

First one on the tandem rig, won't be long before the doubles start coming. I tried a couple tandem rigs recently and had good success. About 70% took the bottom jig but managed a few from top jig. I was fishing deeper water spacing jigs about 18 inches apart. There was a few tangles but tandem worked pretty good. I hope it does for you as well.

I can only hope to get a few like Sonny posts on a regular basis. Just now getting some Me time after a few months of "House" work. Coming along fine and the fish cooperated last Saturday, over 35 Crappie. Felt good to stretch a line.
