PS CrappiePro I did not mean to highjack your thread, and my hats off to you for a fine mess of crappie. I just saw your comment about the cormorants and thought I would share what we did. They are a nuisance and harmful to the fish if left unchecked.
No Hi-jacking here just good communication the way I see it. These birds are a nuisance and need to be put in check. We are the Good Steward's of wild life. They have a right to eat as do all living things but it is also up to us to keep the balance. In addition to cormorants we now have a huge population of pelicans and heroin that join right in with the cormorants...How much can a fishery take before it goes to the birds??? Our winter pelicans are some bold dang birds also fishing right along side of our boats. LOL A 3 day too week long hunting season in the early fall for cormorants every year would be a good thing to keep the numbers in check and give the duck hunters some pre season practice. IMHO
