Alabama Rig Survey

[Mojorig]

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) would like to collect information about the use of the Alabama Rig in Arkansas. The AGFC has been conducting angler surveys (either on the water or at the boat ramp) on 16 lakes and 4 pools of the Arkansas River since May 2012. However, the AGFC would like to reach a larger number of anglers, so we have developed a short online survey to solicit opinions concerning the Alabama Rig. We encourage Arkansas anglers (regardless of preferred species) to participate in this effort. Please click on this link (Alabama Rig Online Survey) to fill the survey out. By gathering anglers' opinions of the Alabama Rig, the AGFC can evaluate its potential impacts on fisheries in Arkansas. We appreciate your participation in this survey. Please feel free to pass along this link to your fellow anglers who might be interested in participating in our survey.

[Billy E]

You aint wrong. They still wont let me keep one if it ends up in a casting net.

[Mojorig]

Very good point, supergooser. We are just wanting to collect angler's opinion of the rig.

[Deezer]

Yeah...riiiight.... Is the agfc thinking of selling them? If they are collecting data, they are thinking of regulating them. I for one will not participate in the survey.

finished

doesn't matter how you catch them if a guy is going to cut there heads off , he is going to do it regardless of his technique and he still has to follow regulations. I do agree with DEEZER , they are thinking of regulating them or would not be asking. Wish they would spend more time stocking fish and improving habitat and less time making rules.

I want to say a personal thank you to all of you that have participated in the survey. The AGFC Commissioner tasked me with developing a study to look at the use of the Alabama Rig in Arkansas. When it first came out there was a lot of questions about the Alabama Rig and the AGFC didn’t have any information about it. I wanted a way for everyone to express their own opinion of the rig and the results of the study will be presented to the Commissioner. This is why I developed this survey to go along with the on the water surveys.

Again, I want to say thank you for your time answering this survey.
