sniveks- that 300ft buffer looks goog on paper, but I have yet to see it aplied. Besides that it's the small creeks that feed the main rivers that come in muddy. But thats just from my expereance.
Also whats with all of this "do you have your head up your a**" and all, just bring up the facts. Theirs a lot of good knowledge out their, just don't put the fellow fisherman down becouse their the ones thats going to support you if your beliefs are justifyed.
For those that that have jumped on me, I never said I keep wild's ,just the brat's and I only have 1/4 of one in the freezer now. I eat what I catch and no I don't us it for crab bait either(A person should be shot for that) ops.. I didnt't mean that literaly.
Good luck fishing on the upcoming weekend all!
