RCC, I am not a man that will back down from a challenge! I think that there is a possibility to not only shut down duck season and crappie fishing, but maybe we could alter migration patterns and timing of the spawn for crappie. If you think that is out of reach, think again. This is the first year in 10-15 years that I have tried to fish DURING the spawn and not spend 8 weeks chasing turkeys. This year alone I have managed to postpone the spawn (the way it's looking the spawn will now be sometime in June probably while I'm in Florida on business for a week) and I have also managed to practically shutdown turkey season to the point that very few turkeys are gobbling and most that have been killed have been ambushed! Everyone seems to be mad about the turkey season, but with all the turkeys I saved, there will be some running around next year dragging barge ropes as beards! As far as the crappie go, I think all will be good and in a year or 2 when I quit spring fishing again to resume turkey hunting, you folks will sink your boats with fish.

And just think, you all will have a guy like me to thank for all of that!!
