Not really worth a thought out comment

All it takes is a couple bad days and then take them rigging and catch 40-50 fish in a half day trip. I guess I don't see where the hard feelings come from against the "riggers". It's just one of many many ways to catch the fish we love. I always hear the "they are going to clean the lake out" statement. My feelings are that a limit is a limit. So if Mr. Greenjeans is doing his job there should not be an issue of it happening. I catch probably close to a 1000 fish a year doing it and never eat a single one. I have kept two doing it last year for the taxidermist. So that should not hurt the population to much.Quote:

I think most all of us would much rather feel the thump (I live for the thump) but if you can't beat the riggers and sometimes you just can't, you had better join them. Or stay at home until summer.
I too go both ways................................ when fishing. Rig in the pre spawn and dip in the post spawn.
