Boat, bacon, before day lite, quietly, when the cormorants come back

It shouldn't be legal to waste bacon for bait... Get some punch bait or worms

Bacon is indigenous to all lakes, fish thrive on it

I like to use chicken liver for this. It does not cast well but you don't need it too. I pull up towards a tree, birds fly away but drop some chum before they go. Helps to have baits ready. Fish free line or under cork, lob bait as close to tree as possible. This is one rod in your hands type fishing, they are gonna bite it quickly.

Just get in thick bird roosts, and flip punch bait in, either small split shot or slip cork. Many 100+ days doin this

First I have heard of this, of course I dont catfish. So a bridge that is full of nesting mud swallows with babies in the nest leaving consistent flows of splats below them in 6-8 feet of water could be a good catfish spot?
Can someone explain how the Feds count recreational Red Snapper catch?
