Thread: Clean our waterways contest.

There is a new contest up to help clean our waterways. Here is a link to that thread.

I had read a post by canebreaker down on the Mississippi board and he had written that he keeps a bucket in his boat to hold the trash he comes across while fishing. I thought this was a great idea and wanted to start doing the same. If you are out fishing, you never have to come home empty handed. As many of as as there are on crappie.com, we should be able to pick up hundreds of lbs of trash in a years time. When you see something floating, just reach out with the net and scoop it up and put it in a bucket for proper disposal. Some peoples net needs to get wet from time to time and this would be a good way to get that done if you don't use it for fish catching purposes


Sooooo, pick up some trash, win some prizes, you'll look good to other fishermen (you know that just because they ain't staring you down, that they still are checking on your fishing), you'll look good to enforcement if checked, and you'll feel good at the end of the day. The environment will thank you as well.


Thanks for the contest Slab

During the summer months we pick up the first 8-10 miles of Kaskaskia every Sunday!! That is the busy time!! I was always taught to take pictures and leave foot prints!!
