I see post on here from some looking down at people for snagging. First off its legal and it is a lot harder then people make it out to be. If your trying to save the crappie then you should ban fishing during the spawn. That is when the real slaughter happens. Anyone with a stick and hook can catch them and don't even have to freeze to death to catch a few. Some folks can't afford a boat much less a 1200.00 side imaging fish finder which can be called cheating by some. 8-10 poles hanging out of the front of the boat running through a school you found on a fish finder don't seem fair at all to a crappie. Making a living by Taking folks fishing and sending them home with limits sometimes several per trip. And at times everyday of the week. That might not seem fair to some. With that said I like everyone and will catch fish by all the ways I mentioned and enjoy every minute of it. Y'all better be glad I lost most of my eyesight or I would really put a hurtin on them like I use to do and y'all wouldn't have any. LOL
