My grandpa caught a pair of these squaws on the dike (river adjacent pond which is part of the Wildish gravel quarries near Mt. pisgah.) They were seriousely about 7 lbs and tasted like chicken!

At least One Bass Left

At least One Bass Left

Fished the squaw/carp pond Sunday, formerly known as the kick a$$ Bass Pond, and only hooked up with one fish. The sucker fish aren't hoarding up on the bank like they were a few weeks ago, so done spawning, but they're still there in masse. So, I think the bass have moved around a bit, and they don't seem to be as aggressive as they should be, but they're in there. Have to really work to hook-up. We'll see as year progresses.

If you have problems with suckers. Tell some asains about the lake or.... Snag. Or for a small fee, Me and my friend can fish that place out of suckers.

It would take you and your friend YEARS to eradicate all the sucker fish in this particular body of water via traditional fishing techniques. Thousands of 'em bastards in there.

That's probably what it would take. Dynamite wouldn't spare the MONSTER bass that I know live in this pond however, so need a different option. Perhaps some sort of electric device that stuns fish and sends 'em to the top for a few minutes; have several boats out there to net the suckers up and leave the bucketmouths!

I thought The F&GD had these and used them for river census and stuff?

Squawfish have a use. After you catch them cut them into strips and put them in the pickled herring juice... they make a great replacement for sardine or herring when fishing for sturgeon.
