What's the deal with Falcon?

It was the people eating bass in the over fished gar infested low water...at least thats what I heard.

Raise gas prices!!! That will keep them Okies home. Just in case ppl from Exxon are reading this. I'm just playing!!!

Leaving tomorrow to fish with Jay for a couple of days. According to his blog, he lost one 13+ at the boat yesterday. This weekend should be awesome.

Go luck to you. I fished with Jay in August for two days and we had a great time. I lost one we think was close to 15 lbs. on that trip.

That was funny, I was there several years ago when 4 boats from OK cleaned 8 man limits of bass with the smallest being right at 5. This went on for 5 days! It is the lawful right, but I was sick to my stomach!!

It blows my mind that people think that a few guys LEGALLY keeping a few limits of bass for dinner is affecting populations. If the five fish I catch and keep one day are all over 8 pounds then there are obviously more in the thousands and thousands of acres of aqua hiding spots.

Stocking lakes with hundreds of thousands of fish > a few legal limit dinners.

I blame Bush.

Anything to keep the spotlight off the tournaments that are killing way more big fish than anyone filleting them.

I was lucky enough to visit Falcon a couple of times over the last few years. I was appalled to see the amount of fish being gutted and cleaned. The argument that "a couple of people" taking legal limits doesnt affect bass populations is ridiculous. When you have a lake that is hammered by fisherman, gill netters, drought conditions, etc.and expect the lake to remain a great fishery, you are fooling yourself. One of the main reasons the lake became great was because of its isolated geographic location. This lake will be a shadow of its self in 5 years because of short sided, old way of thinking, data based on 10-15 year biological models.

If the snow birds would take a look at the discharge of sewer water and carp that runs into the Rio they would be buying sea food.
