Crappie are in!!

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I also saw a lot of garbage left near Kingston Mills Locks. That is so bad.

Never ends and what burns me is that they are also fishermen who enjoy what we do. Do they not realize it will not be an enjoyable thing if they ruin our waterways. I spend a few hours every year cleaning up shorelines near me and also in the backwoods areas. Always carry a garbage bag with me as well. I remember one time I was zipping back to the launch when my sandwich bag flew out into the lake...Turned the boat so quickly I almost tossed my buddy out. I got to it just before it started to sink. How hard is it to throw it into a can when you get back to the launch.

Were the family in the vehicle a little hefty by any chance??? Can't walk to a garbage can or even drive to it... :roll:

It's much more important.

since we're talking about trash now, it kills me to see people throw their cigarette butts into the water while fishing or people that stamp them out on the street where they get washed into storm sewers and into the river/canal.

yep, trash sucks. glad to hear other people think so too.

No but 90% of the time it equated to laziness...The other 10% would be genes of course or issues with metabolism. Did not mean hefty people are all ignorant as I am a bit hefty and I am not that ignorant... :lol:

LOL Pete.....

I think these people have an aversion to a trash can, because a relative of theirs once fell in and they could not find them... :wink: :lol:
I fish when SHE lets me!!!
