Fish the same areas for days at a time if crappies etc. are present. When a commercial moves in after I'm there and the next day I hang six cranks in his net at one time I get pissed. Yea he marked it with a black float about the size of a hockey puck. I never cut their nets and I know it isn't my lake. I do know several who would cut their nets. If they'd mark the danged things properly and not be paranoid that someone is going to steal their catch I'd (we) would have no problems. They most likely are not breaking any rules but KDFWR should change the rules and make a decent marker rule. I don't know the commercial regs and don't care to read them but one was stretched from Moors area all the way across to the quarry...I watched him. Try pulling a crank thru there on a pirogue.

Now back to fishing.

BBD,
You're not who I was talking about.....you're not on here complaining about the Asian carp daily....in fact you say you haven't noticed a difference in crappie numbers or health.
I was suggesting that the ones begging for the state/feds to do something,will be the first ones to gripe when they get hung in a commercial net. Folks wanna have their cake and eat it too.
