I had not heard anything about it. I guess if a bunch of kids start getting hooks in their fingers we will have a bunch of do gooder not fisherman and women wanting to register your hooks or limit the number of hook you can buy along with the capacity of your leader. :Rofl The only thing I see that this does is give them something else to give you a fine for. Its all about seperating you from your money.
Whatever! Come South! They are not getting my lead, soft plastics and definitely not my guns/ammo!!!
X2. Just give us a heads up so those of us who garden can plant extra collards and purple hull peas cause you're gunna like em!Quote:

You can bet those do-gooders who think up moronic laws like banning soft plastics have no intention of stopping there.
Oh man!! Ok, more okra too even though I can get a little stingy with it sometimes :biggrinQuote:

Hey! We like real maple syrup down hea'r you can like okra up there:Rofl Can't blame ya on the brussel sprouts though:puke
Has anyone presented one shred of proof that the plastic baits are harming fish, wildlife, or the environment as a whole? I would think the fishing industry up there would be smelling blood in the water.
Sounds like you guys up north may be in the marked for some Slick Jigs or Meatgetters. Both are hand ties, no plastic and are fish catching rascals. Drop by the AR board and ask if they'll catch a fish. Hope the plastic ban is voted down. Good luck up there.
Well I thnk what we need to do as good Southern fishing folks is invite all fishing gear companies south were there will less pressure to outlaw their products. We have folks willing to work for these companies.
I plan on moving south full time as soon as possible, hopefully I'll be out of Illinois before summer.Quote:

It was not moved forward. Our lonely stocked trout pick up plastic baits and when the fishermen Kill them thats when they are found. The baits don,t kill the fish.
