I wanted to share with the readers of this board. I was out fishing this morning (Sunday) on the Lewis (the big rock) and there were about 10-12 guys out there. There was not much action out there but there were 5 younger guys out there and they seem to be doing real well. In just the few hours I was out there they caught about 6 -7 fish. I was getting so frustrated because I had only gotten a few bites but no fish. So I went over to find out how they were set up and how they were catching fish. One guy was just bringing in a fish. I noticed he had got the fish in the side. So I asked him if he was going to keep the fish right then he kicked it back in the water. He was kind of rude and just mumbled something while walking away. At first I was not sure why he did that then after a bit I realized why. Then I took a closer look and realized that all five of those guys were just snagging fish. I am sorry but that is one thing that just makes me so mad. I am out there following the rules trying to catch a fish and someone comes along and feels that he or she has the right to just do what ever it take to get a fish. That to me is not fishing.

Did you get any info that would help get these folks (car make/model, color, anything...)? Chance are you'll see them again... Get all the info you can on them. I'll help you get them hammered if need be...

You are absolutely right- it's not fishing!

Downriggin'

one of those snaggers name is shannon and his wife melissa they boast about "catching20 to 30 fish a day" what a crock and furthermore I don't have a problem with calling there b.s.

sounds like they need to be part of the river system (if you know what i mean). let them get a feel for change.

Next time bring your cellphone and make the call these slim bags need to learn the hard way$$$$$$
