Here is an old joke that I hope will help ease some of the tension on the board lately about fishing methods.
There is this old guy who always fishes alone and always catches his limit. The local game warden decides that he should find out if the old man is catching the fish legally or not. So one day the game warden asks the old man if he can come along on his next trip, the old man says "Sure, meet at the dock at 6AM tomorrow". The warden is surprised that the old man is so willing and is now hoping that he will learn the secret to always catching fish. When the warden gets to the doc the next morning he appraises the old man's boat and tackle and the all look to be in order, but also there is nothing special about them. They pull away from the dock and start heading out across the lake to a spot that is known to usually hold a few fish. The old man puts out the anchor quietly, but once again nothing special. Then the old man reaches into his tackle box takes out a stick of dynamite, lights and tosses it out into the water. There is a huge explosion and fish start floating to the surface. The warden (after picking himself up off the bottom of the boat) stammers, "You, you, you can't do that" and begins to recite all the rules that the old man has broken. The old man takes out another stick of dynamite, lights it and hands it to the warden and says "Did you come out here to talk or did you come out here to fish"
I am not trying to re-open a can of worms. I just thought some levity was in order.
Peace.
