Thread: Arrowhead Landing

Wore 'em out at Arrowhead today. Only a few boats on the water, maybe everybody thought it was too cold or the water too high, but both my buddy and I limited out and left the fish biting. Not one was short enough that we had to measure, and we picked up some pretty nice slabs. Water was 46, good stain, and fairly high, but the crappie were there and hungry. And we caught them all with one rod each, just like real fishermen rather than needing a half dozen poles to snag rather than actually fish.

Nice Job. Not sure we can believe it though without pictures!

Guess you'll have to mark me down as a liar then. No pics - I didn't take the cell with me.

Lol....kudo's for not "snagging" them.

I hate seiners. Alabama should outlaw the use of more than 2 poles max. People who use six to 10 poles and brag about their catch couldn't catch a cold if forced to use a single pole.

Lot of people can only watch 2 at a time it harder than it looks and limit is 30 why does it matter how many rods you use?

Easy now we folk here in alabama are some friendly folks don't go throwing off on the way other folks fish as long as it's by legal means . You do your thing let others do theirs. You must be from Mississippi ?

I'm right here in northern Athens, Abalama, and throwing a net in front of your boat and trolling around until you snag fish ain't fishing and it never will be. Do you deer hunt with a machine gun? When I hear the argument about how tough it is to watch 6 or 8 poles and try to get fish off the line, all I hear is whining. Fish and game would like a one rod limit. They tried to change the law a few years ago, and it wasn't the fishermen who challenged them, it was the retail stores that wanted the continued sales.

I won't get the law changed and I won't change a whole lot of people's minds, but your justifications for 'netting' with multiple poles is not fishing. You are not a responsible fisherman, you simply want to haul fish in the boat and brag that you accomplished something.
