Maybe someone should post up a list of who is allowed to fish Butla.
you start big guy and others can add to it
I thing EVERYBODY is entitled to fish Butla. I just think we should only take what we need instead of just going to fill a cooler for braggin rights. I think it's ALL of our responsibility not to kill her just because we can. I do believe that it should start with the Miss Dept. of Game and Fish, but with their past history, I'm not sure I trust them to take the best care of our resources. I don't think they have a clue!!!! JMHO

Get 'em while ya can. The only detriment to the lake will be finding a parking space. This hurricane blows some weather in and butla jumps 5-10 feet, it'll look like a ghost town. Those fish will hide in the grass and you'll swear she is fished out! Everybody will hit the next bite at Sardis, Enid or wherever. All the while in fished out butla, fish will be feeding and growing like they always have.
If you want to help the resource, build habitat and only take what you need. No since getting worked up over what the other guy is doing, as long as he is obeying the law. If you witness an abuse call the possum cops. There are always the greedy who will hoard limits. But that is usually offset by all the gewbers out there that can't catch a limit. (wb):biggrin
Go fishing, be safe and courteous, smile and have fun.
It's still a public lake that ain't that big. You can run but you can't hide
Amen brotha and very well said!!!!!!!!Quote:

Parking will be very slim, if anyone is going they better get there early.
Well didn't have 17. We kept 6 probably caught 10 more or so. Should have been drowning minnows but we was doing our own thing I was running 300s about 30 ft behind the boat. Hitting chartreuse mostly. They shut down right after 9:45 on the cranks or they moved on me. Will be back next week in my new rig.
im so sick of hearing this same old crap one week post pics the next dont, and for the habit day that we did in july only 10 people showed up and 4 of them weren't even c.c members the lake was the lowest its been since i dont know when, I think it aint nothing but a bunch of people on here that want to take, take take and not give nothing back its either to hot or to cold then we blame someone else why their aint no fish get off you lazy a$$ and do something instead of sitting around and complaning
We need to do another habitat day
would be great if you could get other folks to pitch inQuote:

I like puppies.
Some people are just plain silly
i agree. if/when all this grass gets pretty well flooded, its gonna be hard to catch a fish till its gone. jmoQuote:

I fished Butla for the 2nd time in my life and the 1st time this year on Wednesday. Had the poles in the water and fishing a little before 7 and fished till 5. In 10 hours we managed 21 keepers and probably caught 75-80 fish. It was a great day in my book and I have never seen such healthy fish in August in my life. Heck, they looked like they were full of eggs. That being said I will be glad when it cools off a bit and I head a little farther down the road to the dink whole known as "Sardis" and take up the battle with those fish that I left off from this spring. Good luck to all this weekend and be careful cause it's going to be crowded.

Truth be told, I couldn't tell you how many hours I've fished sippi this year and how many fish I've caught but it's a bunch on both parts. That being said, I have not taken one single fillet back home with me yet this year. Y'all should follow suit. ;)
I am with Feelay if that lake jumps up 8-10 ft the fish will hit the grass on top of that this winter when all that grass starts dieing off and the lake fills up ,there wont be any spider rigging or crankbait pulling,the dead grass will be floating around so bad that you wont even be able run a boat in it.Bout the only way to fish is single poling.When that happens not a lot of fish get caught,so maybe butla will get a 1-2 yr. break.
You gave em all to Stan? LmaoQuote:

Why is it that you are a member of c.c if you are so against posting fishing reports? I really just don't get it! In your opinion what should be discussed on this board? Tennis or sumpinQuote:

What about all the magazine articles.....two this past month about Buttla.....what about all the press and national news coverage about the larger crappie tournaments etc. The word is pretty much out that there are four reservoirs in MS. with big crappie.....but thats nothing new....that news has been told over and over all my life. If I was going to blame it on somebody.....I would blame the Tournament fishermen and their sponsors. But if I catch some fish on any lake.....I am going to post pictures and tell what lake and what I caught them on. I won't give GPS coordinates.....but I will name the lake.
Tournament fisherman???? naaa they the most tight lipped ppl in da world. U musta missed a nap or sumpn. LmaoQuote:

Well.....there are always the Tournament reports that hit the inter-net and the news media......such and such tournament held on this lake and then the list of winners and the weights etc....people see these and then think its a great lake to go fish. They also see the advertising leading up to these tourneys and again.....people read this and think its a great lake to fish. Everybodys got a hand in this....nobody is immune. The word has been out on the big four for years and years.....thats why they have all the fishing pressure that they do. You cannot just try to blame it on one group of fisherman.Quote:

Good idea Speck, lol
