Your pics make it appear that you take atleast some of what you catch, what's your opinion on this: I recently took a 22 inch, 5 pound bass from the Yantic River above Fitchville Pond. A few site members have reviewed the trip and given low scores. I should have released it? I have some confusion here. My understanding is this. If you take small bass, say 2 lbs or less, that is one bass that will not grow up to be a big bass and spawn (maybe it has, maybe it hasn't) and raise more little bass which in turn will grow up to be big bass. However, a big bass will eat more food, which may in turn, lower the survivability of the smaller fish. However, if you only take larger fish, you are removing a “big eater” which (I assume) has already spawned and leave the smaller bass to grow and become big bass which can spawn and leaving more “bait/food” for the smaller bass to grow………on and on. Now I realize the reason for slot limits which, many complain about, but I seem to have imposed on myself for a couple of reasons without even realizing it. (1) I like to eat fish now and then, but I’m not a big fan of cleaning them. Therefore, keeping the big one allows a meal without having to clean several small ones. (2) I also feel that small ones should get a chance to grow up and spawn, so I will release them unless I injure them in the process of catching or de-hooking them. From what I have read (and not just from the link below) a 1 year old spawning age/size bass could weigh as much as two pounds. That 5 pound bass I took could have been anywhere from 2 years old to 5 years old depending on food supply. http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/selective_harvest.html What is the best for the fish population and recreational fishing? I realize that the answer to this question is primarily one of opinion and maybe there is realy not one correct answer, but I'll take my lumps. Maybe I should make this a pole but the rational options are not clear to me. |

I bought a Shamino Curado 200E7 reel today, looking for a good spinner bat, or crankbait Rod to go with it. What do you think about the kistler micro magnesium 7' rod. |

Hey What's Up! Nice to meet you Lewis. My name is Vinnie. I fished only once upstate at the Wall Kill river in Gardiner. Caught a nice smallmouth. I usually hit Prospect Lake and I am going to hit Central Park this weekend. I try to stay local because I work and go to school, so my fishing time is very limited. But I am planning on hitting a lot of water upstate in 2010. I go out to Long Island on Lake Ronkonkoma, but the fishing there is hard. You really need a boat (which I don't have) to get in some productive fishing, and even then it is still hard |
