Willard Snagging

[wiperhunter2]

[quote MikeHall]Fishing during the spawn will not allow for a healthy resource and in no way promotes conservation or healthy fish populations.. Most Certainly it is unsportsmanlike like and is as unfair a method as snagging or looking the other way as a participant or enforcement officer when our conservation laws are broken .. Of course you can look the other way, complain about poor quality and most certainly justify you opinion at the expense of our public resource ...[/quote]

Wow, thats a broad statement, I hope you are talking about just walleye but even with it just being walleye, I disagree with it. "Unsportsmanlike like and is as unfair a method as snagging", again, Wow that is a whopper there. It seems to me I have seen you fishing for crappie, do you also believe that it is unsportsmanlike and unhealthy for the resource to catch them during the spawn? If the DWR though it unhealthy for the resource, I really doubt they would allow it. After all, aren't a lot of them biologist, that have years and years of training, not only in school but also on the job. Of course I'm just voicing my opinion here, like you are but it would be nice to hear some facts about this subject, as to whether or not it is good or bad for the resource to catch eyes during the spawn.
