My whole problem is the colaberation with the CLA, who by the way have no interest in how good the fishery is, they just want less people using the lake and that's the bottom line. It's a start of something that can go wrong for all fishermen. Let the DEP determine what's too much, not an association that clearly has other motives in mind. That's as clear as I can put it. I'm not trying to piss people off, I'm just trying to bring another veiw of where this can go. Does anyone out there understand my point?

You got hijacked by tournament terrorists! If it makes you feel any better Jim I can't ignore a man who outfishes my entire season almost every day he goes out. Besides, this discussion will be short lived. Bass Rebel wants to eat all the fish in Cwood. (sorry Rebel, I couldn't resist, just a joke). Once Blue Fox hears dinners on, it will be a dead lake and you will have evidence to make your point with!
Its not the cutting down on the number of tournaments for me its the way you are saying it. I can just imagine the way the people that go to the CLA meetings feel about the commoners that are breathing their air in around the lake. I don't believe the DEP is going to bow to the CLA and give those people most of the permits.All the tournies and fisherman that go to the lake also contribute to the economy of the towns that surround the lake.Alot of the fisherman on this site don't seem to be into the tournament scene ,so thats why you got some of the responses you did.By limiting the tournaments on the lake is'nt going to cut down on the number of fisherman on the lake.Besides ,what will stop all the clubs from having a no weighin torunament like you suggested. The pressure is still on the fish and they are still being caught, No matter how you slice it the lake will still be overcrowded.

I'm not going to get suckered into a back and fourth battle. My grandfather taught me never argue with a f**l. Because the people watching may not be able to tell the difference. Bottom line all you care about is your own selfish need. If you cared one bit about the fish being over pressured you would stop fishing that lake yourself and set the example or atleast do it on the principal. But no, Your not the problem right? It's always someone else's fault. Right? By the way I can read and understand what you think your trying to say. One just has to know how to read between the lines to get to the real truth. Hypocrite!!!! There I said it. Happy Thanksgiving

Husky,
Don't get me wrong your a great guy, but nothing at all was said about Chris and Cajun harvesting 50 Crappie out of N. Farms, can't believe that doesn't have an impact on the size/population there, and to compare apples to apples, it's the same as me keeping what I did. I caught them in 45-1 hr time frame so there must be a decent amount of them where I fished, so if anything the impact would be the same.
Jimfish,
You seem like a great guy and from all your posts are a great angler and get out there and fish a lot. Even though you take precautions I'm sure when you catch the monsters I've seen you post, and the amount you fish I can almost believe that from all the fish you caught all year atleast 6 of them died down the road from being caught, what's the difference between that and me keeping a few? The only difference I can see is atleast mine didn't/won't go to waste, not picking on you or anything, just trying to see things from all angles and prospectives.
(sorry Rebel, I couldn't resist, just a joke). Once Blue Fox hears dinners on, it will be a dead lake and you will have evidence to make your point with!
