Willard Snagging

thought I would just add a couple of comments on this thread. Two things:

Not to be crass, but how many here stop in the middle of making love to your partner to have a snack before finishing !! All creatures are the same, when reproduction is the goal, it trumps ( no pun ) every thing else until it is over. The fish caught during the spawn are picking up the lure to move it out of the way, they are not feeding !!! ( also the reason most of the fish caught in the mouth are males) For that reason alone, fishing for them during the spawn is not that good. Snagging becomes viable because the concentration of fish is so great. Still, the number of fish that congregate in the inlet is very small.

Second point: You are a cattle rancher. You sit out in your field and when the bull mounts the heifer, you shoot them both, then wonder why you don't have any calves in the spring to renew your herd !! Nuff said !!

We may not be able to change the hearts and minds of some so called sportsman, but we can be ethical ourselves and not engage in unethical behavior !!
